All of this griping about Kamala Harris spending $500 on cookware is ridiculous and idiotic. I spent $300 on Costco Kirkland Brand cookware last month. $500 is nothing and she shouldn’t be mocked over it.

I don't understand what the problem is. French copper cookware is beautiful and expensive. $500 is nothing.

Again, like the 'end of quote' thing, I refuse to treat this administration like the past one was. It has to end somewhere.

I haven’t seen the mocking. Validation of my social media filters I guess.

Some people are shocked and outraged about this.

If they watched cnn they wouldn't have to worry about it.

I wasn't aware of this story.

Adjusted for inflation since 1993, that's about the price of a haircut.

Are you reffering to Clinton's haircut that stopped traffic at LAX?

Yes.

But, as always, context is important.

She bought several pieces.

That's a bit different than a Costco set.

I keep asking the question about when, exactly, you've made enough money, and no one answers.

Who gives a shit about this?

Fox News, obviously.

I bet those assholes spend more than that on their fuck-me shoes. And that's just the men.

The same type of people who complain about two scoops of ice cream and gold-plated bathroom fixtures. That's who.

Come off it. I don't care who you are, a gold-plated shitter is pretty funny, and Trump's idea of style looks like the inside of a Turkish brothel. It's not how much it cost that matters

Indeed. But funny ≠ outrage, and there was plenty of that.

And the ice cream...

looks like the inside of a Turkish brothel

Well, my first thought was 'Jesus Christ, this place looks like a Donald Trump hotel!'

Apart from the smell, of course.

That was fall-out-of-my-chair funny.
