President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at

It’s a borrowed slang term here in the US, except it’s been anglicized to be pronounced “capeesh”.

And yes, I speak several languages conversationally and have studied Italian phonetics extensively as is required in my profession.

Why do you ask?

Because the only other person i ever saw using something like that was Taleb, but he wrote it either Kapish or Gabish.

Capeesh is actually pretty similar to the italian sound yes.

Cuz it's called capito in Italian, capisce? Only Luciom probably wasn't aware of capisce being Eyetalian American slang.

You can say "capito??!" at the end of some phrase but you can also say capisci.

Capisce is third person, capisci would be the second (as in "do you understand??"). Capito would be "hai capito", as in "did you understand???".

My question was because i only saw that written very differently in anglo speak

Not sure why you think i am not cooking my own food (and for others as well), i am actually a pretty good cook

Yeah, anyone can boil pasta, stick it in a pan with ricotta and mozzarella and bake it. Question is do you clean the sauce splashes off your laptop after you're done?

Look at Lucy if you want to see some top-tier trolling. Dude has most people believing the wild shiit he spews when he only believes 20% of it himself. His problem is trolling is his life and as such it loses its effectiveness.

I 100% disagree with this assessment. I think Luciom believes exactly what he claims to believe. Whether he would act in accordance with his beliefs if he actually lived in Luciomtopia is a different question.

i don't know what you mean using "baking" when you mention a pan (isn't baking the verb for what happens when you put stuff in the oven?), and in general mozzarella and ricotta aren't used togheter.

Anyway this was yesterday

Yes you are correct. This proves trump isn't principled even about illegals.I might correct you there, this is about farmers in Purple districts. Trump doesn't give a **** about people in places that would vote republican regardless.Trump doesn't give a **** what people I. Districts voting democrats 60%+ think either.Unless they are in swing states then he might care a bit.If y

You are ignoring how transactional this administration is. Trump is happy to do things that benefit his supporters in red states because he very frequently gets something back in return.

Also, I don't think Trump cares at all about what happens to the Republican Party or the country after he is no longer president, except insofar as those things might threaten his money or security.

Unclear why you think life for most of us would be very different from today in a society where my preferences were incorporated . I am not asking for actual dramatic changes in daily life nor for stuff that would cause that, for upper-middle class people.

Like say 10k-30k criminals per year got the death penalty in the USA and the same in europe, why do you think that would make anything materially different for you or me other than having fewer criminals around and spending less for prisons? ie a pareto-improvement for our lives objectively, with no change in our own behavior?

Which of my proposals do you think would materially change life for the worse in significant ways for people with decent income and wealth?

Bold could be true, but for now we don't have elements pointing to Trump not caring about his children success tbh. He needs republicans to secure that because in his worldview, democrats will go after his children for vengeance.

Anyway he still needs to try to keep the house in 2026 (a very far fetched plan i know), otherwise he can't pass anything and most of his administration including him would get impeached, a zillion of republicans subpoenaed and so on.

I think he does remember very well what happens if he loses the house.

Homie is a native Italian and hasn't heard of baked ziti or lasagna?

It would take a 1000 pages to answer this question properly. Please don't pretend like quick implementation of the death penalty would be the only change of consequence in Luciomtopia.

my theory is you're probably experiencing latent homosexuality.

also this one

by mongidig

Do guy's really scissor with each other?


I would love to discuss the (comparatively) small political differences I have with the sane people on this forum, but instead we have to spend our time arguing with dfs who think if you don't instantly comply with a police order you should get shoot between the eyes and who think you can arrest someone because "I live in Italy and even I didn't recognize one of the 100 US Senators."

It's just obnoxious at this point.

which you do in the oven, not in a pan ffs? and btw baked ziti are a rare dish from a small part of southern italy and it's not even obvious you can find ziti in a supermarket in norther italy lol.

Lasagna is very common nationwide.

Was addressing the mozz and ricotta are not common when they're used in ziti, manicotti, lasagna, etc., and not the pan vs casserole dish (also called a pan in the US) you were nitting on.

But ffs, you can use mostaccioli, penne, or rigatoni if you can't find ziti. Are you not allowed to cook a dish at home in Northern Italy if it's common only in Southern Italy? Doesn't seem to be the case the times I've been in Italy.


I don't think he's wrong about baking requiring an oven.

Yeah, that's kind of what bake means - to stick it in the oven. You can do it with any type of pan, so I'm not sure what the difficulty here is.

mozzarella and ricotta are NOT COMMONLY USED TOGHETER here btw, that was my comment. It is not normal to use both in the same dish. A somewhat common pasta to bake are cannelloni (not here but in various areas), and you use ricotta but not mozzarella with them (usually).

It's not "illegal", and you can find some recipe using both if you try hard, but it is not common at all.

Also, "pasta al forno" (oven baked pasta) is not common *in general* in northern italy. Like we are talking normal families without southern origins, will do that 0 to 3 times per year? and those times will only be about re-using what was left from another meal, we did not do that on purpose. I don't remember the last time i saw a pasta al forno offering in a restaurant either (i presume if you try hard you can find it though even around here).

We can cook whatever we want but people tend to follow their own traditions which are widely different south to north (and within the south and within the north). Like i dont think sicilian families ever make their own tortellini ok? they don't even eat tagliatelle almost ever.

We do eat tortellini and tagliatelle 20+ times per year in Bologna. They eat swordfish as a "treat", we almost never do. And so on and on.

Also this looks ****ing terrible


A thing to note that almost no non-italian knows, is that large parts of italy almost didn't have dry pasta at all 100 years ago. Not like it was "unknown" but it was not normal to eat it regularly.

We had pasta but it was the fresh kind, which you make and eat on the spot basically (tagliatelle and the like), typically with eggs added to the dough.

Maccheroni, rigatoni, penne, spaghetti and so on are all basically from the center-south. And even in 1950 it was not automatic to have them regularly in say Venice, Milan, Turin or Bologna. I think it was the vast immigration from the south that made it common.

Nowadays (and already since i guess the 70s?), dry pasta is normal nationwide.

But a 40 or 50y old person who learnt to cook from his or her grandparents (which was common) who had northern italian grandparents could have learnt a whopping total of 0 recipes using dry pasta.

Right. That's the point, and that's exactly how it worked in practice in places like East Germany.

I would not be at all surprised if Trump announced a plan to give amnesty to any person who is in the country illegally who provides tips that lead directly to the deportation of 10 or more people.

I misunderstood your point. I understand now. You think it's all a big joke. That's much more on brand for you.
