A FB friend asked this question yesterday. Some answers were serious and some hilarious, but gave us a lot of food for thought.
My choice? Leslie Jones, Laverne Cox and Rachel Maddow. I figure between the four of us we'd turn him every which way but loose.
Thoughts?

(17,651 posts)But it's a Southern thing. Our poke is fresh raw tuna or other yummy fish with assorted goodies. Ogo, chili peppers, sesame seeds and shoyu. I hardly eat seafood any longer, but this is super yum. What is your poke?

(51,076 posts)three times. We used to pick it and sell the tops to a cannery. southern greens is what It is. It can be pretty tasty cooked with bacon or so I'm told. I never cared for it myself though.
Here is a link that kinda shows and 'splains what it is.

All us old okies know exactly what it is because it was a staple during the depression.
Also where Poke grows so does pot, same kind of soil as what pot needs to make good ass weed

I'm glad someone else has made a study of the gentle art of poison.

(901 posts)The first two are obvious, but my spouse is 6 feet 8 inches tall and a large man. He's informed and he takes no crap off of anyone. He's retired Air Force (22 years), and he has a few choice words for DJT that he'd be thrilled to deliver in person. I'd love to see that!

Does that give me one extra invitee? It's Joy Reid.

(10,715 posts)Just to name three off the top of my head. As Trump would consider none of them better than a 4, he probably wouldn't show, but if he did it would be quite a dinner. I'm not much of a conversationalist, and I probably wouldn't have to say a word.
