About this 'Civil War' Alex Jones reported Democrats be launching on July 4

[Siwsan]

Can we move it to July 6?

First off, Wednesday is going to be brutally hot with a good chance of thunderstorms. The weather is supposed to be much nicer by Friday and it will make for much more comfortable participation. (I am, of course, assuming that SOME of the battles will take place in Michigan. We have a pretty nifty fort up in Mackinaw City.)

Secondly, I didn't get a notification text OR an email, yet. I actually found out about this from InfoWars. Postponing it gives me much more time to maybe write a rousing battle song or two (hopefully some people will bring guitars), select a good wine, and make something special for our post-war pot luck.

Important question: Do people prefer sweet or dill pickles in the potato salad. I'm a fan of dill, myself.

[SWBTATTReg]

1. I'd prefer green olives in my potato salid vs. pickles...perhaps they can move the whole ...

thing (battle(s) etc.) to the early fall, when it's cooler?

[Siwsan]

3. I'm a fan of green olives in potato salad, too!

I guess I could make 3 batches, but only if it is postponed.

[Dulcinea]

64. None of the above.

Chopped green pepper.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

2. Dill! Grated of course.

[Siwsan]

4. My Mom used sweet pickles and Miracle Whip. Me? Dill and Mayo

With some fresh, finely chopped dill weed, right from my herb garden.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. Mayo, dill pickle, chopped sweet onion, chopped boiled eggs, squirt of yellow mustard.😋

At serving time I mix in some Tabasco!

[pandr32]

42. Love the "squirt of yellow mustard"

It really brightens the flavor and appearance.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

44. Does indeed! 😋

[Laffy Kat]

65. What is it with mothers and their Miracle Whip?

My mom would buy Miracle Whip too and the rest of the family hated it. Give me Mayo or give me death.

[Initech]

5. I'll bring the beer!

[Siwsan]

8. Good!

Wine is ok for sipping, but beer is good for quenching.

[Turbineguy]

6. He just wants his numskull followers to start

shooting other Americans.

[Siwsan]

9. I suspect they can be easily distracted with strategically placed free beer and donut stands

I could be stereotyping, but I'm betting it would work.

[CatMor]

7. I too never received a notification.....

I have no idea where to sign up. I prefer no pickles or olives in potato salad

[C_U_L8R]

10. It's been moved to election day.

Meet up at your local polling station. The revolution will be tabulated.

[Yonnie3]

12. I didn't get the email.

damn
I better check my spam folder.

Anyways, November 6 would be better for me, can we reschedule?

[Siwsan]

14. Well, we'd have to move the post battle pot luck indoors, in Michigan

Kind of makes playing volley ball and badminton problematic.

[Yonnie3]

15. Oh, we can (will) do all that on the 4th.

(Un)Civil war is all that needs a reschedule.

[DetlefK]

13. Wait... I thought July 4th is when the annual War on Christmas starts?

[Siwsan]

18. Hmmm, and what about the anniversary of the Bowling Green Massacre??

I'd better check my events calendar.

[jmowreader]

47. The War on Christmas starts in August.

[Midnight Writer]

57. C'mon! It's starting earlier every year. What's up with that?

[DetlefK]

59. Yeah. They start selling War on Christmas merchandise earlier and earlier.

[Yonnie3]

16. I prefer dill

also olives and a bit of spicy mustard.

[WhiteTara]

17. Could we back this off until next Monday?

I really have a jammed packed week and it's supposed to storm this weekend. I don't have enough rain gear for a revolution, so let's be fair weather revolutionaries. How about we just have weekend revolting too, since we all have work to do.

[Siwsan]

19. Hmm, bad storms might make it necessary to move the revolution to the basement

Of course, if the power goes out, we can tell ghost stories.

[DetlefK]

20. "Revolution in your Basement" - Sounds like a good band-name. :D

Is that a revolution in your basement or are you happy to see me?

[Siwsan]

23. And their hit song "Spiders under the Wash Tub"

My biggest nightmare during tornado warnings - Mom made us crawl beneath the basement wash tub and there were spiders the size of Rottweilers. At least that's how I remember it.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

39. This gives me an excuse to strip down to my panties.

I hope I remember to wear them.

[CanonRay]

21. Is there going to be Italian Sausage??

If not, I'm not coming.

[Siwsan]

22. Sure! Why not?

Italian Sausage, German Bratwurst, some English Bangers - Maybe even some Icelandic Pylsur!

[Squinch]

24. My Swimmies will be my battle armor! My pool noodle will be my sword!

Onward, valiant brothers and sisters in arms! Don't forget the sunscreen!

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. I'll bring watermelon!

Always a good choice for a summer revolution.

[genxlib]

26. Dill pickles in their potato salad?!?

Sweet Pickles all the way.

This is why we will never make a viable army.

[Siwsan]

28. I'll bring both - heck, I'll even bring pickle free

I am an all inclusive potato salad maker.

[genxlib]

27. Do they make Potato Salad in MRE form

That could be a deal breaker

[Siwsan]

29. Well, technically, at a pot luck it would be a meal, ready to eat, so.....

[dameatball]

30. When I get back from the revolution I am going to try some capers in my potato salad.

[sarge43]

62. Excellent choice.

When we dig them out, hubby and I will pack our duffels.

I'll bring my clip board; he'll bring some squibs. Oh yeah, coffee. Americans can't fight if there's no coffee.

Hubby suggested fly swatters. They double as swagger sticks - dazzle them with our elan.

I'll make gazpacho.

[SamKnause]

31. I didn't receive any notification.

I will have to sit this one out.

I am too busy fighting;

the war on Christmas

the war on Christians

the war on drugs

the war on asylum seekers

the war on women's rights

the war on trade

the war on truth

the war on civility, etc.

P.S. Dill and Hellman's mayonnaise

[mahatmakanejeeves]

33. "People who suggest Hellman's mayonnaise better take it easy."

Wars have broken out over things like this.

Duke's Mayonnaise



Duke's Mayonnaise is a condiment created by Mrs. Eugenia Duke at Duke's sandwich shop of Greenville, South Carolina, in 1917. While it is the third-largest mayonnaise brand in the United States (behind Hellmann's and Kraft), its popularity was at first largely limited to the south. It is used in regional favorites such as tomato sandwiches, cole slaw, deviled eggs, pimento cheese, and potato salad. Duke's Mayonnaise contains more egg yolks than other mayonnaise products and no added sugar, giving it a tangy flavor.

By 2017, in the centennial year of its original recipe, Duke's mayonnaise became available throughout the United States and also in New Zealand, Australia and the Middle East. In 2017 Sauer announced that it was also starting sales to Latin America.

C.F. Sauer Company in Richmond, Virginia purchased the Duke's Products in 1929, and Duke's mayonnaise became the company's flagship product.

In 2017, the South Carolina legislature recognized the centennial of Duke's.

[SamKnause]

34. Now I have to fight the war on Hellman's mayonnaise ???

Damn, to many wars not enough time.

P.S. I have never seen or tasted Duke's.

It is probably very good.

The one I can't tolerate is Miracle Whip.

It tastes like mayonnaise dumped full of sugar.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

35. It's probably still a regional thing.

My mom never used anything but Hellman's. I don't really have a beef with it. The only thing that bugs me about it is that Hellman's cut the size of the jar so that it holds only 15 ounces. Duke's still comes in 16-ounce jars.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

32. And I haven't a thing to wear! Maybe these old draperies.... NT

[genxlib]

36. One of the best

[Solly Mack]

37. I want a combo of both.

Where I'm living, the community celebrated the 4th on June 30th because - the weekend.

I laughed.

[Hortensis]

38. Our family will invade and occupy a narrow river valley

in the mountains that day. Actually, a lot of battles take place in our river every year, though we moms and grandmas mostly watch from above, drinks in hand. Victory!

[Siwsan]

40. We used to occupy a back yard and fight the battle of the grill and Manhattans

Which Uncle made the best hamburgers, and which mixed the best Manhattan. One Uncle lived at a lake, so then we added the battle of who caught the most fish and who then did the best fish fry.

Everyone is gone, now. If we can delay this Civil War, I'll probably declare war on some weeds, do a reconnaissance check for tomato worms, followed by making a turkey sandwich and drinking some beer - or maybe a Manhattan, in tribute to my Dad and Uncles.

[Hortensis]

43. :) Ah, the good life -- including sorties against

tomato worms. I went out on another kudzu patrol while twas still cool yesterday, this time along the road so I got to take my coffee with me. No kudzu, but a pink milkweed seems to be moving in on the white that used to own the low verge.

We're not a big family, older generations gone, grandkids heading too fast for adolescence, and then there'll be a big gap without children. But we already spend a lot of holidays as you plan and think it's lovely.

Peace.

[struggle4progress]

41. Can't we postpone it at least until everybody gets over our last civil war?

[NewJeffCT]

45. Check your spam folder for the e-blast from Soros

they sometimes get sent there, unless you have [e-mail] on your contact list.

[Freddie]

53. Can we tell him where to send the check?

I think the last one was lost in the mail.

[mr_lebowski]

55. Psssht? You mean Soros doesn't already have all your bank account info for direct depo?

I suppose you also haven't earned your 'Lieutenant Liberal' badge?

What about your decoder ring, I mean you have THAT at least, right?

[braddy]

46. Sweet.

[Va Lefty]

48. Alright! Who forgot to tell me where to report!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

49. Definitely dill. Not a fan of sweet pickles in potato salad.

I also don't like mustard or radishes in it, or anything oniony, or Miracle Whip. It has to be actual mayonnaise. Sliced cucumbers, fresh dill and boiled eggs are good additions; if there's going to be war I think we need more vitamins and protein.

Can we have s'mores when it's over?

[Siwsan]

50. I think s'mores would be a most appropriate after-battle pick me up

I wonder what wine goes with s'mores.

[appleannie1943]

51. I already have pickled beets and eggs and baked beans made and two ripe pineapples for on

the grill. My request for service must have gotten lost in the mail.

[Sanity Claws]

60. Sounds like a rip roaring toot fest

The smell of fireworks may mask the problem.

[appleannie1943]

63. Just super powered ammo for the war

[Laffy Kat]

66. Shhh. That's our secret chemical weapon. nt

[KT2000]

52. Dill please!

I'll bring the chips - lots and lots of flavors!

[DashOneBravo]

54. Y'all doing it wrong!

We need a PowerPoint class on Operational Security.

56. I got the e-mail from Hillary picked up my uniform at Men's Wearhouse

this afternoon.

[Sneederbunk]

58. Will it start at dawn or high noon?

[edbermac]

61. Sorry guys, can't make it.

My bone spurs have been acting up again.
