If you could have dinner with Trump and three others, who would you invite and why?

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?

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?

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.
http://pokesaladfestival.com/plant.htm

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

Mushrooms and greens being a lovely foil for the sweetness of the poorly prepared blowfish. Maybe an oleander garnish.
