Salmorejo Recipe (Cold Tomato Soup) | The Mediterranean Dish Salmorejo is a Spanish cold tomato soup that’s like a gazpacho but even simpler. Make this Salmorejo recipe as a refreshing appetizer on a hot day.

If you're ever at a loss for what to do with them and tomato ice cream seems too far-fetched:

I've seen them, I don't think they're fitting in here.

Dlaczego Polska jest wykluczona z tego spotkania???

I don't see why this will make any difference. They are ripping people off the street almost at random, beating people, keeping them in concentration camps, leaving minor children behind on the sidewalk, and you think it's the nasty name that's the missing piece?

They're not police.

They don't give a shit what you call them. Unless someone's going to start throwing rocks at them this will continue.

Lol you're a fucking imbecile. Can't face the wreckage of the president you voted for so you're blaming Biden, who left office months ago, just like you dummies are still blaming Obama for G-d-knows-what.

You disgust me. I'd tell you to grow up but if it hasn't happened by now...

Schoolyard morality isn't going to stop rising fascism. You don't voluntarily disarm while your enemy is preparing to destroy you.

I'm not convinced that one Representative for every 773,000 Americans is insane.

They will obey just as they always have. The military won't save us by defying orders.

I hope they like it when the New York National Guard occupies Wheeling to oversee the purge of fascist elements.

They can't go live in the DPRK, they have no skills that the Dear Leader needs or wants. They can't rebel, firearms scare them almost as much as leaving the house. Internet trolling is all they've got.

They have one: increase the power of Harvard and its alumni. That's their only principle. They will do anything to advance it.

Anything.

Trump won Alaska by over 13 points so yeah, thanks but also thanks for nothing.

America cannot sell what never belonged to it. Ukraine belongs to Ukrainians. Not to Putin, and not to Dumpo.

Senators are elected by statewide vote. Even if Texas is hopelessly gerrymandered that doesn't explain why they can't beat a monster like Ted Fucking Cruz despite trying over and over and over again. So you can take that finger and insert it where the sun shineth not.

I donated to lost cause after lost cause in Texas. Beyond a certain point your problems aren't everyone else's fault.

Your state and other shit places like Florida keep sending the worst people in the world to Congress - dickheads with Harvard Law degrees who don't give a fuck for anyone or anything, but who keep getting reelected. I'm a snob for expecting Texans to be able to find their asses with both hands?

Hey Schiff, didn't you vote for Trump's Genius Act, which put crypto loot directly into Trump's pockets? Maybe you're not the one to lead.

Look at who you send to the Senate. How many times do you think out of state Democrats can continue to donate to Texas candidates who can't beat the most odious shit bags in Congress before we give up?
