I like Bessent, but I picture him eating lunchables from his soft sided lunch pack.

---

He was probably doing just that when he made literally a $1Billion profit for Soros Fund Management by moving the silver markets in the 1990's.

I'm not sure I would want Bessent on my side when I got into a fight, but he's smart and has nerves of steal.

---

Best when shoplifting the booty, am I right?

---

The misspelling was intentional, but more aimed at SFM's trading strategies than icky sex stuff.

---

Evidently Bessent doesn't mind a little dirty talk about kneepads. He also drug the huevos over Gavin the Greaser.

The Sparkle Beach Ken joke was nails.

Well, he reportedly likes to have a go at it from time to time. Apparently a reported altercation with Elon last April at the White House and then threatened to punch Bill Pulte in the face at a private dinner in Georgetown in September.

"Interesting" guy.

Thou shall not disparage tabbouleh. Best salad ever invented.

Maybe, but it ain't freaking German! LOL

The guy is obviously brilliant with the barbs he can throw out there and I don't give a damn if he's gay or not. Cracks like that are hilarious, and especially when coming from him. Maybe because he doesn't look like someone who could crack wise like that. I don't know but he makes me laugh.

Him piss drunk at the end of a night at a gay bar in an all out brawl cause someone hit on his man would melt TMZ into puddle.

That dude smacked Newsom halfway to Nippon.

I have a long held theory that the Germans invaded France three times in a row to get some decent food. German cooking is oppressively bad. Everything starts with ****ing onions and cabbage. I love a lot of things about Germany and their pre muslim culture but the food is not one of them.

Same reasoning applies to why we split from the Brits. A man can only withstand soggy back on, blood sausage, mushy peas and burnt flavorless roast for so long.

They really do not use many spices other than salt and pepper, sometimes allspice, ginger. And they ferment a lot with vinegar such as sauerkraut, beets, turnips. Vinegar is a strong taste than needs to be balanced out with other seasonings and usually is not. Their potatoes are largely just boiled in water not even broth or boullion. And other than pastries, they don't like sweetness in dishes.

So that balance of sweetness, tartness, sour is missing. And their treatment of their meats (aside from wurst and *****znel, even if underseasoned) are just not that appetizing in that the meat is tough and chewy.)

They could all benefit greatly from learning to barbecue low and slow like we do and treat their meats tenderly.

There's a Bessent joke in there somewhere, but I'm not sophisticated enough to figure it out ...

Not sure what "Swiss-German" food is, but I love German food. To each their own when it comes to food, though.

---

I love Brats too, but their is so much sausage, pretzels and liverwort a man can take.

He is gay. Maybe he needs some pink pastries and a skinny latte.

Doesn't mean he's wrong.

I spent 2 weeks in Europe last fall, much of it in Germany and Switzerland.

Had to find Italian restaurants if we wanted anything with flavor that wasn't brown slop.

No thanks, you can keep your cabbage and sauerkraut. I've never had a bad meal in Germany but I've always focused on meats and sausages. Traditional German (poor people) food is inedible.

He's just whining for no reason. I've been to both as well. The food is different but I still liked it. Maybe he can pack some pop tarts on his next foreign visit.

The people pushing this crap are the same people flying in their private jets to attend fancy dinners where they are certainly not serving any damn insects.

For God's sakes Switzerland, you share a border with Italy. Italy. Surrender already to the best food on Earth.

I grew up on this food but you have to watch, it'll make you fat!

Guessing you've never had the regional cuisine of northern Italy/southern Switzerland.

Couldn't have used a worse example for bugs to eat. Romlea (pictured) are slightly poisonous to humans.

He may be gay.

But, I think he might be my favorite gay man (no homo, as the kids say).

He was another genius pick by Trump 2.0. He was so much better this time around picking people around him. Not all home runs, but most are.

Love me some Bavarian schnitzel and sauerkraut! And rouladen! And their cold vinegar potato salad (sliced potatoes, not mashed)!

But Schwabbian (sp?) food is bland af. Pork steaks, spoetzle, etc. Yuck. Give me the bugs!

Really? There is something really creepy/weird about him. If it comes out he is a pedophile, involved in harvesting of human organs trade, is found to have kidnapped sex slaves in his basement, or it becomes known he has sex with dead bodies- I won't be at all surprised. The dude gives off serious evil ghoul vibes.

Then again, maybe you just have really, really bad ghoul-dar.
