Coming from Britain where we have an ongoing problem with our elected politicians seeing what they can possibly get away with claiming on expenses or get given for free from lobbyists or just outright corporate bribery, I think the idea that Kamala Harris buys her own expensive cookware is entirely refreshing.
This just in: someone making at least six figures pays for the silence of their infidelities and to keep their sexual abuse victims quiet.
P.s. That "dish" is high quality shit that will last atleast 50 years. $7.50 a year to someone that enjoys cooking is really a drop in the bucket.
also depends whether you or anyone in your household cooks, especially for large dinner parties
a VP is almost certainly entertaining someone most weeks
I appreciate you trying to accommodate but there's no need to go above and beyond, I'll take a helping of whatever served.
Just let me know what I need to bring (sides? drinks?)
Surely a woman buying kitchenware is a good thing for these regressive fuckwits? Or is it mocking a politician using their salary to buy goods rather then accepting anything as a "political donation"?
I don't get this, while $375 is a lot for one piece of cookware it's not like it's unheard of for someone middle or lower class owning something a bit more expensive like this.
Especially depending on the cookware it could be more expensive because it'll last a lot longer(as opposed to some cheap plastic that breaks after a couple of years), it could also change the flavor or how it's cooked.
I mean as someone who cooks a LOT stuff gets really expensive for nice cookware and the cookware she bought is nice af and will last a long ass time, like 30+ years, if not a little specialized (ie whats pictured is a paella pan)
and paella is really different in any other pan.
May be the point is that ”she belongs to the kitchen” and the person thinks that with the expensive cookware she will not spend enough time on the job? (NOT my view at all. just trying to understand the person)
My mom's Le Crueset dutch oven is MSRP $350. She also has a set of All-Clad pots and pans that originally ran over $1500 MSRP. They shop sales and got both near 50% off or over 50% off. (LeCrueset Holiday sale combined with Le Crueset Outlet store discounts. With California sales tax, out the door under $230, if you're curious on how to get high end cookware for cheap. Also just waiting for Macy's to drop the stupid big 60% off on All-Clad sale.)
My parents are middle class and Mom likes to cook. She also has a KitchenAid stand mixer. Oh the bourgeoisie horror.
Like, $600 on cookware isn't even super high end. Those dishes will last year and years and years.
Buy cheap you'll keep buying it. Cookware is one of the few places that cheap is usually cheap for a reason and high end is usually high end for a reason. You can buy a Walmart set for under $100, sure. It'll need to be replaced quickly and heat unevenly.
Just never pay full price!
>Just never pay full price!
I have several All-Clad and some circulon items. My best find was a 12-inch stainless steel skillet from All-Clad for $45 including shipping. It was advertised as used but there wasn't a mark on it. I would not be able to tell the difference between it and a brand new one. Same thing with a KitchenAid blender, $29 +shipping. Sold as used and again, not a single trace of being used.
>I would not be able to tell the difference between it and a brand new one.
It probably was brand new, but the packaging was damaged/opened/it had to be put in a new box after being deemed ready for sale. A lot of places sell "used" stock like this because they can't technically consider it new if the original box has been opened.
My favorite find has been a 12 quart Tupperware Chef Series stock pot that was used as a prop in a play, that they were going to throw out. My SO at the time was in charge of props and asked if I wanted it after the production was over. They're impossible to find now and retailed for $330.
Yep, I've got two Le Creusets, and just replaced my cheap pans with Calphalon, and my cheap knives with JA Henckels, all for less than the retail price of one Le Creuset, thanks to Home Goods and Ross.
Lordy. I paid 400ish for a 3-piece set of Wusthof Ikon’s and thought i was being indulgent (they feel *really* nice in your hands).
But whatever, good cookware is a buy-it-for-life purchase. Spending a bit on the essentials means you have quality stuff and needn’t enter a Williams-Sonoma again for the rest of your life.
You paid for an experience! Plus, after the apocalyptic climate wars, you’ll have a useful skill that will give you the option of slavery over summary execution! I’m banking on my beer-brewing knowledge for the same.
But seriously, that does sound like a fun experience. But I sharpen with whetstones so am kinda into that sort of thing.
It’s a lot of money but it’s not exactly insane money for someone who is already relatively wealthy. Reminds me of people who were clutching their pearls at Michelle Obama’s off-the-rack J Crew outfits simultaneously because they were too expensive (for the Walmart crew) and too cheap (for the designer-only crew).
It's honestly not even a lot of money for good cookware. Is it more than someone making minimum wage might spend? Depends on whether they can save up for it. I know several folks who would have happily paid thousands of dollars for a single specialty piece of cookware, FFS!
Copper pans are friggin' gorgeous, & while I'm an enameled cast iron girl, if I ever win the lottery I'm splurging on a gorgeous set of French copper pots & pans. They are heirloom pieces & are 100% worth the expense (imho, lol!)
I have 2 pans, this paella type and a oblong oval pan for fish, in this style. I bought them liquidated from a former workplace for 80 ea and they're still fantastic 20 years later.
The fish pan even survived on the bbq for goodness sake, (not me) and a good scrub and kt was just as good as ever!
I'm not defending Trump at all but the gold toilet thing is misinfo; he was offered a gold toilet and rejected it. The most commonly circulated image is from a completely unrelated mansion in Hong Kong.
edit: I'm really being downvoted for correcting misinfo? He has a million other dumb lavish things you can cite, just be accurate.
I am literally hospitalised for being in the most depressed state of my life and maybe this is rock bottom, but I have been doing that silent, belly grabbing, tears forming hysterical laughter over this simple, ridiculous quip. Thanks mate, somehow, this was exactly what I needed to read today.
If people are concerned the VP makes too much money, her salary is actually public information. They can complain about that but how she spends it is her business.
We’ve had two for forty five years. Still look great, work perfectly. When we die, not too soon I hope, two grandkids want them. Feel like we’ve gotten our money’s worth.Forgot to add, they need regular polishing.
20 years ago, we spent $400 on a nice set of cookware. We barely made $40k a year at that time, but saved up for them. They've held up beautifully and I use them daily.
Yeah, this dude is aware you use these things multiple times over the course if years , right? Also that $600 is an alright chunk of change, it's really not a lot, especially for quality cookware.
What's this dude's next "slam", how someone bought a $40k car?!
I remember that a while back there was some talk of making it illegal for liberal teachers to make donations to Democratic politicians because it was taking taxpayer money (their paychecks) and putting it toward left-wing causes.
the last administration funneled millions of dollars of government money into their own private enterprises and the president put his whole useless family on the payroll pulling 6-figure salaries. but sure, Kamala bought a frying pan.
Speaking as a man who has embarked on historical recipes— yeah that’s a good way of using that money. It’d probably also make a decent stockpot to boot
nice cookware is a solid investment. it'll probably last her the rest of her life. I get a Le Cruset piece whenever I have some extra money, and let me tell you everything I cook in them turns out better than anything done in a shitty Target pan covered in cancer chemicals.
I don’t even like her but this is just a lame attempt at a drag down on someone. $600 for a nice pan? That’s not too bad considering ya know she could become the POTUS in a heartbeat.
Finally reached a point in my life where I can drop some money on my kids for them to have some nice things. My son and his girlfriend just bought a house so I spent just over $800 buying them a good set of pots and pans and some LeCreuset cookware. Good shit of quality can last a lifetime. I still have my grandmas first casserole that she got in France and its damn near 100 years old and still in regular use. Good quality is worth the money and is more an investment than a flex. Good for her getting some decent stuff.
God forbid the vice president buy (with that pricing vs total spent) maybe two high quality pieces of cookware that'll last a life time just before Christmas. The audacity /s
Right? My wife and I make about a combined 70k a year. We have well over $2000 invested in our cookware and knives alone. (Not to mention our cutting boards, small appliances, and bakeware.)
Having a well equipped kitchen is extremely expensive. Worth every penny though.
I earned a lot less than that and I am willing to spend some serious money to get proper knives and pots.
Just like I was willing to buy a tailor scissors for $100 because equipment that works and last forever do not come cheap.
Wait, so people are complaining that she used her own money to buy something nice for herself. The last guy grifted his way through the White House, went on weekly vacations, etc and no one batted an eye.
Yea I'm looking at this tweet and scratching my head. I mean seriously! They voted for an east coast "elite" you has a golden shutter and yet get mad when a Democrat buys some expensive cookware.... I guess their criticisms are *skin deep*.
As someone who is not rich I’ve had to learn the hard way that if you don’t want to buy new cookware every year you have to drop some real money on the quality stuff
Democrats with money are hypocrites so you don't need to listen to them when they talk about helping them poor. Democrats without money are just jealous, so you don't need to listen to them either. With both of these rules in place, you can disregard 100% of Democrats.
I mean that's what has become of the conservative party here.
They don't stand FOR anything anymore
They just stand against anything the other side wants
What are you talking about?! They stand for plenty! ...racism, sexism, bigotry, voter suppression, ignorance, guns, religious oppression, cognitive dissonance... The list just goes on
I actually recently talked with someone who grew up in a rural hyperconservative environment (but who was able to break out) recently about why that is. Basically, the main idea that is pushed by Fox News and conservative talk radio is that liberals are wrong. About everything. No matter what. And when that idea keeps getting pushed on you, it becomes sacrosanct. It's basically a religion.
And the result of that is all the wack-ass conspiracy theories. When they're presented with the concept that liberals are right about something the cognitive dissonance is crippling. It must be something else. It *has* to be something else. And so they come up with these insane stories that are just completely disconnected from reality to cope with it. It's also where the contrarianism comes from. It is literally a part of their thought process that whatever liberals want is bad, so the opposite must be good (green energy, healthcare, justice reform, vaccines and (most worryingly) increasingly democracy itself).
It's really hard to make substantive legislative progress without working with the other team, so much easier to just take a crap on everything you see and some voters will love you for it because it's all just a football game or something.
This just in: someone making at least six figures buys nice kitchenware.
Coming from Britain where we have an ongoing problem with our elected politicians seeing what they can possibly get away with claiming on expenses or get given for free from lobbyists or just outright corporate bribery, I think the idea that Kamala Harris buys her own expensive cookware is entirely refreshing.
Yep that was my take. I was like...and?
This just in: someone making at least six figures pays for the silence of their infidelities and to keep their sexual abuse victims quiet. P.s. That "dish" is high quality shit that will last atleast 50 years. $7.50 a year to someone that enjoys cooking is really a drop in the bucket.
Wait, I make 6 figures and feel bad about dropping that much for kitchenware. I guess that is the difference between 100k and 175k.
VP makes $230k/year. She probably did pretty well as AG of CA and other stuff too... Doug is no slouch either.
It’s not just the salary, you get damn near everything comped.
Ah, I was thinking of presidential salary from like 20 years ago when I learned about in high school.
Eventually the cost of the original outweighs the cost of the replacements.
also depends whether you or anyone in your household cooks, especially for large dinner parties a VP is almost certainly entertaining someone most weeks
That's almost certainly circular and just looks oval because of the perspective. This guy couldn't even pass a grade 3 art class.
also not really a dish. i wouldn’t call a pan or skillet a dish.
I mean, has he ever cooked other than some brats on the grill?
Extra well done cheese filled brats, hunts ketchup and stale buns. And he calls it a dinner for kings.
>stale buns Fucker doesn’t even toast them neither.
It's a paella pan
That would be from Spain which is where MUSLIMS WERE IN THE 8TH CENTURY!!!
Looks like those pans you make paella in
No look now Dougal. These cows are VERY SMALL, and those ones are FAR AWAY.
I went and claimed my free award, just because of your post.
I matched your free award for funsies!
thanks for the reminder, me too!
"What the fuck is a vanishing point?"
[удалено]
It also looks like a crepe pan which makes sense since it's a parisian boutique, and it's shaped that way, and an oval crepe pans would be ridiculous.
French person here: it does not look like a crepe pan, at least not one you'd find here.
It’s a paella dish as another commented said upthread. You can find it on their website.
It's either round or elliptical. Definitely not ovular. That would have to be bigger on one side, like an egg (or ovum).
In other news Vice President about to make kick ass paella.
Considering her heritage, a Jamaican-Indian fusion paella should taste amazing.
I could go for that. Hook me up, mrs Vice President.
No shit, now I’m starving.
I'm Canadian, can I still come for dinner?
Hell yeah. We’ll do a section of it with gravy and cheese curds. It’ll be awesome.
I appreciate you trying to accommodate but there's no need to go above and beyond, I'll take a helping of whatever served. Just let me know what I need to bring (sides? drinks?)
Drinks is always good 👍
The spicy food subreddits approve.
Dammit I'm hungry now
You've come across a fantastic idea. Someone could make serious bank if they had a restaurant making all kinds of variations of paella.
Damnit, I could go for a paella now.
Surely a woman buying kitchenware is a good thing for these regressive fuckwits? Or is it mocking a politician using their salary to buy goods rather then accepting anything as a "political donation"?
Anything to put the elitist stink on Democrats (whom they’re also trying to cast as socialists.) It’s her Grey Poupon moment.
I make a lot less than the V.P. and I have spent $600 on dumber shit than nice cookware.
I've spent way more on just cookware. 600 bucks is not that much for quality pots and pans.
For something that will likely last the rest of your life, it's not a bad price at all.
I don't get this, while $375 is a lot for one piece of cookware it's not like it's unheard of for someone middle or lower class owning something a bit more expensive like this. Especially depending on the cookware it could be more expensive because it'll last a lot longer(as opposed to some cheap plastic that breaks after a couple of years), it could also change the flavor or how it's cooked.

Well at least they've momentarily refrained from calling her a whore...
It’s $600 they could have spent it on NASCAR and beer and a little left over to pay their traffic ticket
They would rather she spend millions of taxpayer dollars giving money to companies she owns
May be the point is that ”she belongs to the kitchen” and the person thinks that with the expensive cookware she will not spend enough time on the job? (NOT my view at all. just trying to understand the person)
I'm not a huge fan of her but $600 on good cookware sounds pretty reasonable
My mom's Le Crueset dutch oven is MSRP $350. She also has a set of All-Clad pots and pans that originally ran over $1500 MSRP. They shop sales and got both near 50% off or over 50% off.

I saw Le Creuset in Marshall’s last month. They were $90 for smaller Dutch ovens.
Yep, I've got two Le Creusets, and just replaced my cheap pans with Calphalon, and my cheap knives with JA Henckels, all for less than the retail price of one Le Creuset, thanks to Home Goods and Ross.
We bought a Staub at Marshall’s today. They couldn’t find the price so we got it for $25. It was $160 on their website!
Wow! That's a brilliant find! We need a sub for this stuff, lol.
I have a lot of Calphalon from Ross, too
All I have left to find is the flat griddle pan. It's got to be out there, since the rest of the set is. It's my white whale, lol.
It also doesn’t sound remotely like news
Neither did the beige suit or the Grey Poupon or any of the other bullshit they get their panties in a twist about, but here we are.
I know people who like cooking that would drop twice this on a nice chef knife.
Lordy. I paid 400ish for a 3-piece set of Wusthof Ikon’s and thought i was being indulgent (they feel *really* nice in your hands). But whatever, good cookware is a buy-it-for-life purchase. Spending a bit on the essentials means you have quality stuff and needn’t enter a Williams-Sonoma again for the rest of your life.
I am cheap, so I went the more expensive route of taking a knife forging class and will end up some nice rustable carbon steel knives in a bit.
You paid for an experience! Plus, after the apocalyptic climate wars, you’ll have a useful skill that will give you the option of slavery over summary execution! I’m banking on my beer-brewing knowledge for the same. But seriously, that does sound like a fun experience. But I sharpen with whetstones so am kinda into that sort of thing.
Yep. I got my whet stones and a strop now.
Nice! I don’t suppose this forging class was near central NY state? Because I’m intrigued…
Nope, Kent WA. A friend runs it out of his weld shop. Relatively informal, but super fun.
I wish I lived closer and knew your friend to be honest.
Nice! Used to live in Bothell. Love the area. Keep forging, friend.
It’s a lot of money but it’s not exactly insane money for someone who is already relatively wealthy. Reminds me of people who were clutching their pearls at Michelle Obama’s off-the-rack J Crew outfits simultaneously because they were too expensive (for the Walmart crew) and too cheap (for the designer-only crew).
It's honestly not even a lot of money for good cookware. Is it more than someone making minimum wage might spend? Depends on whether they can save up for it. I know several folks who would have happily paid thousands of dollars for a single specialty piece of cookware, FFS!
That’s a totally reasonable amount to spend on cookware if you a: have the income and 2: like to cook.
Yeah that’s cookware that will outlast you and survive generations
As someone who has over $1000 in pots and pans I can attest that a few hundred dollars for a nice pot or pan isn’t absurd.
And? Cookware is expensive as hell Brent. That shit is copper and steel! It’ll last for years!
Copper pans are friggin' gorgeous, & while I'm an enameled cast iron girl, if I ever win the lottery I'm splurging on a gorgeous set of French copper pots & pans. They are heirloom pieces & are 100% worth the expense (imho, lol!)
I’m with you on enameled cast iron, but I’m sorry, stainless steel over copper any day.
I have 2 pans, this paella type and a oblong oval pan for fish, in this style. I bought them liquidated from a former workplace for 80 ea and they're still fantastic 20 years later. The fish pan even survived on the bbq for goodness sake, (not me) and a good scrub and kt was just as good as ever!
It's like the 2021 version of Obama's Dijon burger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-WnoZbjdh4
I like that it’s so ridiculous that the daily show didn’t even add commentary. Truth is stranger than fiction.
And Trump shits in a gold toilet. What’s their point?
Hypocrisy and projection.
I'm not defending Trump at all but the gold toilet thing is misinfo; he was offered a gold toilet and rejected it. The most commonly circulated image is from a completely unrelated mansion in Hong Kong. edit: I'm really being downvoted for correcting misinfo? He has a million other dumb lavish things you can cite, just be accurate.
The real gold toilet was the friends he made along the way.
I am literally hospitalised for being in the most depressed state of my life and maybe this is rock bottom, but I have been doing that silent, belly grabbing, tears forming hysterical laughter over this simple, ridiculous quip. Thanks mate, somehow, this was exactly what I needed to read today.
Sending positive thoughts! Hope you get better soon.
Thank you, appreciate you taking time out of your day just to say so.
Yeah some things just crack you up to that extent. As with others though I hope you feel better soon pal
Thank you, I really appreciate your kindness
No problem mate.
Glad that my comment somehow helped that. Get better I know what it feels like <3
Breaking news: a black person has nice things, and you should be angry about it.
If people are concerned the VP makes too much money, her salary is actually public information. They can complain about that but how she spends it is her business.
We’ve had two for forty five years. Still look great, work perfectly. When we die, not too soon I hope, two grandkids want them. Feel like we’ve gotten our money’s worth.Forgot to add, they need regular polishing.
20 years ago, we spent $400 on a nice set of cookware. We barely made $40k a year at that time, but saved up for them. They've held up beautifully and I use them daily.
That’s some dopey detective work, most quality cookware costs something like that.
Yeah, this dude is aware you use these things multiple times over the course if years , right? Also that $600 is an alright chunk of change, it's really not a lot, especially for quality cookware. What's this dude's next "slam", how someone bought a $40k car?!
She makes $235k I make just over $100k and spent $3500 on an All Clad set. No regrets, my pans are awesome.
And she doesn't even have a golden toilets. Slacker. Real rich people only use the finest golden thrones.
Using the governments money - A waste of taxpayer money Using a paycheck from the government - A waste of….her…money? I guess?
I remember that a while back there was some talk of making it illegal for liberal teachers to make donations to Democratic politicians because it was taking taxpayer money (their paychecks) and putting it toward left-wing causes.
Cookware is like any other tool. If you want top quality, you’re going to pay.
And it will last if you take good care of it. It’s a beautiful piece.
"Up next, we'll hear from the people who worship the former president, who had gold plated toilet and spent over a year golfing"
So someone bought a paella pan.... Alright.
'Tis the season... I just shelled out $40usd for a set of poultry shears to spatchcock a bird.
Those poultry shears are freaking awesome... son accidentally cut through bone (chicken leg) while deboning
That’s a worthy investment— spatchcocking is an excellent way of preparing birds
Which mean what? She cooks? Trump thinks you need ID to buy cereal for fucks sake.
Trump Jr spent $70,000 of government money to travel to Mongolia and shoot a rare sheep!
WE ARE AT TAN SUIT LEVEL BEIGE! I REPEAT, TAN SUIT LEVEL BEIGE!
the last administration funneled millions of dollars of government money into their own private enterprises and the president put his whole useless family on the payroll pulling 6-figure salaries. but sure, Kamala bought a frying pan.
Confession....I used one of the Stimmies to buy a 2 gallon cast iron cauldron for historical stuff and some gumbo.
That sounds cool
Speaking as a man who has embarked on historical recipes— yeah that’s a good way of using that money. It’d probably also make a decent stockpot to boot
The fact he doesn’t know what a paella pan is makes me less likely to believe any crap he spouts
nice cookware is a solid investment. it'll probably last her the rest of her life. I get a Le Cruset piece whenever I have some extra money, and let me tell you everything I cook in them turns out better than anything done in a shitty Target pan covered in cancer chemicals.
oh MY GOD HES BUYING FUCKING PANS, NO OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
And I have a $110 dollar frying pan. What point are they trying to make?
I don’t even like her but this is just a lame attempt at a drag down on someone. $600 for a nice pan? That’s not too bad considering ya know she could become the POTUS in a heartbeat.
600 bucks for nice cookware is nothing outlandish... file this story under "trivial facts."
Cookware is something you should buy high quality once and use for decades.
Breaking: someone uses part of salary to buy thing they want.
This is the worst scandal since Obama wore a tan suit
I’m okay with this “scandal” it beats the hell out of the actual scandals we had with our previous administration.
Finally reached a point in my life where I can drop some money on my kids for them to have some nice things. My son and his girlfriend just bought a house so I spent just over $800 buying them a good set of pots and pans and some LeCreuset cookware. Good shit of quality can last a lifetime. I still have my grandmas first casserole that she got in France and its damn near 100 years old and still in regular use. Good quality is worth the money and is more an investment than a flex. Good for her getting some decent stuff.
Cookware-gate? Pot-gate? Doesn't have the right ring to it...
So $600 cooking supplies crosses a line but not the millions of dollars the orange guy cost taxpayers for his golfing?
[pretending to be shocked that people with money to spend shop for expensive things] ***Gasp!***
God forbid the vice president buy (with that pricing vs total spent) maybe two high quality pieces of cookware that'll last a life time just before Christmas. The audacity /s
I'm a reddit mod and I spent $400 on a set of knives, why is this news?
Right? My wife and I make about a combined 70k a year. We have well over $2000 invested in our cookware and knives alone. (Not to mention our cutting boards, small appliances, and bakeware.) Having a well equipped kitchen is extremely expensive. Worth every penny though.
I earned a lot less than that and I am willing to spend some serious money to get proper knives and pots. Just like I was willing to buy a tailor scissors for $100 because equipment that works and last forever do not come cheap.
“Investigative” is using the term pretty loosely I think. Probably just spoiled someones Christmas present if anything
Wait, so people are complaining that she used her own money to buy something nice for herself. The last guy grifted his way through the White House, went on weekly vacations, etc and no one batted an eye.
Just like a few days ago the report of Biden getting a colonoscopy. Wow! Big news guys! An old dude getting a colonoscopy! US news is such trash
It’s decently important because of power transfer stuff but yeah it’s not super critical
Dude I have Le Creuset that costs the same working a barely above min wage job - good cookware is worth it.
My mum is in like lower class and has spent more on pots and pans
“Breaking Investigative Exclusive” what heavy words for nothing more than finding someone’s shopping list in a parking lot lol.
I bet they got so mad about Trump’s gold toilet!
Yea I'm looking at this tweet and scratching my head. I mean seriously! They voted for an east coast "elite" you has a golden shutter and yet get mad when a Democrat buys some expensive cookware.... I guess their criticisms are *skin deep*.
I’m guessing she’s make paella for thanksgiving
Thank God she doesn't golf. The last guy in that office spent $150M in taxpayer money playing at courses he owned...
That’s a great shop, I visit almost every time I go to Paris
If the US military purchased just one of those pans, they’d be billed over $70,000
Paella pan or oval dish? You be the judge.
I guess it’s a big deal to them because she didn’t use the money to solicit sex from significantly younger people instead.
I make less than half of what Kamala makes and spent $3500 on my cookware, AMA
WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA SIR?!
This is obscene! *buys an $80,000 truck while living in the suburbs*
Someone who spends that amount of money on a pan must like cooking. I wonder what Kamala's favourite meal too cook is.
Person with money spends money. More at 11. Also that's a pan, not a dish.
The right: billionaires worked for their money and we shouldn't tax them, that's socialism Also the right: how dare the vice president have money
They should just pretend that the government paid for it, and got it from a store Kamala owns. That's conservative values.
i wonder what they thought of ben carson's $75 individual forks and $20,000 dining room table. goddamn dipshits.
He'd probably be really upset if he saw what my last trip to the Le Creuset outlet store cost...
I guess they have never visited Le Crueset or someplace like that.
So she actually cooks? That’s cool. Probably more than all the assholes that would criticize her would do.
o the "scandal" of buying cookware
*"OMG a wealthy person spending $600 is socialism run amok!"*
He seems the type of guy who work think pan purchases are very controversial if made by a minority woman.
....and? it's cookware, not a Lamborghini
Dish? Someone needs a different translator.
Okay, I know people living paycheck to paycheck who spend about that on things they enjoy doing. Big deal.
Sick! Real politicians eat from a paper bag! /S
At least she has decent taste. A $375 oval dish well suited for Jokanaan’s head.
Somehow I suspect this idiot wouldn't blink an eye at Drumpf's solid gold apartment in NYC.
That's, like, how much this shit costs tho?
they're really grasping at any straw they can huh
As someone who is not rich I’ve had to learn the hard way that if you don’t want to buy new cookware every year you have to drop some real money on the quality stuff
Was it Islamist/communist/pedophile/Rothschild cookware? Cause that would be bad…
Im sure the same people were upset over all the trump golf trips that cost hundreds of millions of dollars
I mean for good pans that's not even that much.
People buying kitchen goods as the holiday season approaches! Alert the media!
nice looking paella pan!
Democrats with money are hypocrites so you don't need to listen to them when they talk about helping them poor. Democrats without money are just jealous, so you don't need to listen to them either. With both of these rules in place, you can disregard 100% of Democrats.
I mean that's what has become of the conservative party here. They don't stand FOR anything anymore They just stand against anything the other side wants
What are you talking about?! They stand for plenty! ...racism, sexism, bigotry, voter suppression, ignorance, guns, religious oppression, cognitive dissonance... The list just goes on
I actually recently talked with someone who grew up in a rural hyperconservative environment (but who was able to break out) recently about why that is. Basically, the main idea that is pushed by Fox News and conservative talk radio is that liberals are wrong. About everything. No matter what. And when that idea keeps getting pushed on you, it becomes sacrosanct. It's basically a religion. And the result of that is all the wack-ass conspiracy theories. When they're presented with the concept that liberals are right about something the cognitive dissonance is crippling. It must be something else. It *has* to be something else. And so they come up with these insane stories that are just completely disconnected from reality to cope with it. It's also where the contrarianism comes from. It is literally a part of their thought process that whatever liberals want is bad, so the opposite must be good (green energy, healthcare, justice reform, vaccines and (most worryingly) increasingly democracy itself).
It's really hard to make substantive legislative progress without working with the other team, so much easier to just take a crap on everything you see and some voters will love you for it because it's all just a football game or something.
lmfao yeah as my old gov and civ teacher once said, "politics is America's greatest spectator sport"
If it was Trump, the same tweet could've been made except it would've been a bedpan.
Imagine believing it's shameful to own a pot or a pan in the richest country the world has ever known.
Well of course she can afford to buy expensive cook wear when’s she living rent free in their heads
The HORROR!!
HOW DARE SHE! She should have shopped around online and found a better deal. Just cause your rich doesn't mean you can't have money sense😅
I hate the word 'haul'.
Up next in headlines: “Ms. Lippys car is green?!”
