I just turned off CNN and MSNOW . . .

[AverageOldGuy]

. . . and dug into a BIG bowl of Tillamook Coffee Almond Fudge ice cream. In fact, I may eat the whole half-gallon.

CNN and MSNOW were doing a superb job reporting on the stupidity that has seized the Trump administration and I have heard enough for one day about stupid people doing stupid shit.

And now I learn that Trump is going to "speak to the nation" tomorrow night.

If the ice cream runs out, I may shoot myself.

[displacedvermoter]

1. In lieu of shooting yourself

go get more ice cream.

[Keepthesoulalive]

2. Don't let the bastard win.

Do something really decadent like eating ice cream on top of cheesecake.

[Trueblue Texan]

3. oh God...that ice cream...

I WANT SOME!!! NOW!!!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

8. I'm going to try the coffee ice cream. Had not heard if Tillamoik.

I usually get Ben & Jerry’s or Hagen-Das. I may be coming back to cuss you out after I gain 20 lbs.

[diverdownjt]

21. put your coffee ice cream in cold coffee itself...

fantastic milkshake.

[Cha]

26. I used to put Ice Cream in my coffee...

back in the day.. ahead my time.

[Enter stage left]

4. Yuuummmmm! Love Tillamook ice cream, but prefer the vanilla bean with fruit toppings...

And either Hershey's chocolate or caramel syrup.

If you've never tried their cheese, you are missing out on some of the best you can buy. If you're into spicy cheeses, their "Spicy Colby Jack" sliced cheese or their "Spicy Mexican Blend" shredded cheese are both...uh,uh,uh..spicy

We were at the factory towards the end of August last year, and they were sold out of the spicy cheeses.

They are really popular.

[Prairie_Seagull]

5. I don't think even high quality Tillamook Ice cream

Is still a half gallon any longer. As I recall they are 1 1/2 qts.

You are going to need dos.

[sop]

6. Trump will "speak to the nation" on April Fools' day?

The jokes write themselves...

[Cha]

29. Whoa! And ol PEDO is so Concerned

With Optics!

[llmart]

7. If you want something to watch that's much more interesting...

watch the three-part series that Ken Burns did on Henry David Thoreau. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Thoreau is one of my heroes. The last 5 minutes at the end of Part 3 shows how off course we have gotten from learning Thoreau's lessons about nature, the environment and what constitutes a good life.

9. Those types of things make me so sad.

I love wildlife and nature and it hurts me to think about it. I do donate to a bunch of charities. I found out that I can’t work at the Hunane Society due to cat allergies. I can only handle about 3 cats at a time at home.

[NewHendoLib]

10. Huge fan of the Mudslide and Mint Chip and Peanut Butter Chocolate flavors of Tillamook

[LeftInTX]

11. Will he bring up boob-gate?

[Jack Valentino]

12. Will he get a half-inch erection thinking about boob-gate???

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Hope you weren't eating...

(you shouldn't have said "bring up", jajajajajaja)

[yardwork]

13. Tillamook is the best.

[Amaryllis]

14. WHatever he is planning to say now will change by morning.

[moonscape]

16. Planning?

[Amaryllis]

33. Good one!

[joanbarnes]

15. ...get more ice cream.

[spanone]

17. Bwahahahahahaaa

[Danmel]

18. The great "friend" of the Jewish people is speaking on the first Seder night?

Why isn't he with Jared and Ivanka and grandkids whose names I doubt he remembers?

[orleans]

19. you said ice cream, someone else mentioned cheesecake

i've been trying to be careful about what i'm eating lately to get off a med i'm on but damn! ice cream and cheesecake sounds so good.

maybe i'll get some tomorrow and not watch that crazy ass douchebag

[duhneece]

20. Get more ice cream. Save a life nt

[AllaN01Bear]

22. mmmm. ice scream.

[calimary]

23. NO!!! We NEED you to stick around and at least offer moral support!

Don’t wanna lose you OR your input!

[fujiyamasan]

24. My favorite Tillamook is the German chocolate cake flavor

I’ve noticed it’s often in low quantities at the stores nearby. I’d stock up, but I know that’s a bad idea. They wouldn’t last too long.

[Cha]

25. Just Go Buy Some More Ice Cream!

You're lucky you can eat it..

I used to do that and now I can't do it anymore.. it's soothing to the soul.. that and Pizza, which is another old favorite that is off limits.

We all feel your pain... I don't even have a TV for a long time now.. fuck M$M

[róisín_dubh]

27. I worked down at my local pub...

last night. I pick up a few shifts here and there. Most locals are pretty moderate to left leaning. The owner is very left as are most of us staff. None are happy with Kier Starmer (nor am I), but do appreciate his vehemence in keeping us out of this quagmire. Anyway I digress…
As I walked in for my shift last evening, one of our regulars was in. Hadn’t seen him for awhile and I do like him quite a lot. He’s a retired police officer, comes in once a month nowadays, downs about 10 pints of ale and then his delightful wife comes to fetch him. Anyway, he says to me “it’s decided, you’re just British now [cue other locals nodding in agreement]. We can’t have you associated with that lump of shit any longer. Make sure they let you leave the next time you’re in the US, or we’ll get the local MP involved.”
I chuckled. We then discussed the absolute degradation in the relationship between the two countries. Such a shame really.

[Cha]

30. That was interesting... Mahalo!

Grateful your PM is keeping you all out of it, too!

[Bread and Circuses]

28. I'm preparing myself with 🍷🪴 .

[KT2000]

31. Kroger/QFC has Tillamook 2 for 1 this week

so just stock up because you will be needing it in the future.
My favorite is the Udderly Chocolate!!

[KitFox]

32. Oh man, I hear ya!!!! That's my go to Tillamook flavor, too.

I can never seem to get just one carton, so I end up with another couple of their flavors. I like Oregon Dark Cherry for a change of pace and I’m a sucker for Peanut Butter & Chocolate. For crying out loud, life is too short not to indulge in ice cream and since we are stuck living through Drumpf, treats are a must on a regular basis. 😊
