It's been over 10 years and I'm still waiting on 'we'll build a wall and Mexico will pay for it' to come to fruition.
Dude is a scam artist and grifter. He's sure good at it though!

I get all that, but I am nonetheless intrigued by the Trafalgar Group. Particularly its stated objective of focusing on reaching voters who may be hesitant to share their true opinions with other pollsters. I have zero idea what "black-box" methodology they might use to accomplish this objective, but there is definitely some evidence of GOP candidates doing better in general elections than "mainstream" pollsters project beforehand. A number of election "experts" have attributed it to some conservative voters being reluctant to publicly state their voting preference. Whether that is embarrassment, fear of being criticized or attacked, or just a desire for privacy, is unclear to me. But perhaps this Trafalgar Group can come up with some polling methodology that contributes to more accurate polls in the future. For present purposes, it is enough to be aware that their poll skews conservative.
I've never been in a Buc-ees (sp?), but I have been in a Stuckeys. Are they similar? I don't think I would take a chance on sushi purchased from a convenience store. The hot dogs that rotate endlessly while bathed in the semi-warmth of a heat lamp are scary enough. But I nonetheless place considerable value on convenience stores, particularly late at night or when I am traveling. Back in the day, I purchased plenty a can of Skoal Long Cut at convenience stores.
Has this country suddenly turned into England? I never heard the word "Polymarket" until about two weeks ago, and now it's all in the news. I never heard of betting on anything other than sports, either. At least not in this country. In England, yes, but here, no.
Oh bear, bear bear.
buc-ees entails over 100 gas pumps with gas sold at near cost, to lure you inside to buy all sorts of branded merchandise with a smiling beaver on it. And, most importantly, brisket sandwiches prepared at a stationed crewed with like a dozen people which even my Texan friends say are well done
Not at all, think an exceptionally clean travel center the size of a football field (some larger) with 100 gas pumps and food stations that sell freshly made barbecue, sweets etc.. Famous for "Beaver Nuggets" (sweet corn puffs), fresh brisket, and a large jerky wall.
.
You're kidding me, wow, then you weren't on this board before the election because you would have heard a lot about it. Owned by Peter Thiel, they famously predicted Trump would win long before the polls caught up by leveraging the wisdom of crowds.
Yet 10-15 times the size of a QT. I've been once punk.
I’ve only been to 2 different buc-ees, but the one in Florence, you can’t get in and out of in less than 15 minutes
I stopped in out of curiosity on the way back to Atlanta from Savannah and it was a madhouse. Probably a hundred + people in the store and a long line to check out. I was surprised at how good the brisket sandwich was.
Buccee's brisket would be better if they didn't slather it in that subpar bbq sauce
It's been a few years so I don't remember the sauce but I thought the brisket itself was outstanding for a travel center.
That's my personal view as well, though even beyond that, I'm more in the GA mustard sauce camp anyway.
Also, to a previous point, the rest rooms in buc-ees are invariably impeccably clean and there is never a line for a stall.
Don't you mean SC mustard sauce? ;-)
I live in GA but grew up in SC and the lowcountry is renowned for their mustard sauce, in fact, Sweatmans is legendary.
First they took our peach state fame and now they're taking our mustard sauce. What won't those vagabonds in Georgia steal next???
I mean, I live in GA and im not aware of a place that sells mustard based so maybe thats a lower state thing closer to Savannah? Not sure...but man I miss Sweatman's.
Fair point, both actually.
there is a little place in Nellysford va that has this awesome stuff too.
How many illegals has Trump "let" in vs Joey and Border Czar?
Answer: Millions to zero.
I'm sure dpic can find a poll that would show that Americans would be in favor of this.
Just for you turdbucket.
Donald Trump’s approval rating hits new second-term low
The White House has pointed to the fact that the president is polling higher than Obama or Bush at the same point in their second terms.

BTW, wrong poll but I guess reading comprehensive skills in not one of your strong suits.
A "large jerky wall?" Well, I'm sold. Now, I just need to get back to South Carolina or Virginia to see this for myself.
What can I say? I'm a native of the Quaker refugee state...
It's actually sort of funny when you think about the early colonies, how many were actually founded with very specific communities driving the train - MA (Puritan refugees of the church of england), PA (Quakers), RI (Heathens kicked out of MA), MD (Catholics), GA (criminals).
The other really fascinating thing about all of them is that they were classic examples of venture capital arrangements. The ships to get people here did not pay for themselves, and the passengers didn't pay their way either.
Bear, come to the Shenandoah Valley. We'll stock up for a tailgate at buc-ees, and then catch some bluegrass somewhere. If you have any Pennsylvania roots, you will also be enticed by the fact that they have an entire station devoted to freshly prepared fudge.
LOL at this thread suddenly veering off into the subjects of Buccee's, BBQ sauce, and Mustard Sauce. Reminds me of the occasional threads that would pop up on Penn State's football board regarding "The best cheesesteak purveyor in the Tri-state area." Those cheesteak threads would go for PAGES. Pennslvanians are SERIOUS about their cheesesteaks.
Put me on ignore pls. Your low iq stupid a ss posting is embarrassing and I don't want anything I say associated with you
And the correct answer is (or a least was before the fire), Jim’s on south street. I suspect the rebuild probably moved the film of grease that otherwise contributed to the quality.
It was an honest question, not sniping at you. Didn't know GA was started as a penalty colony haha.
You appear to be well informed on this issue. I have had cheesesteaks (or, as many Pennsylvanians call them, "steaks") from Jim's on a number of occasions. Your reference to the "rebuild" suggests that you are aware of the fire at Jim's a couple of years ago. My understanding is that it necessitated a complete rebuild. I have not been there since that time. I assume it is still at the bottom of South Street, where it always has been.
I like Pat's steaks as well. I think Pat's has a couple of locations. The one I most often frequent is the one in Reading Terminal, which is one of my favorite places on Earth. If you can't find a particular type of cuisine in Reading Terminal, chances are it does not exist.
The other cheesesteak purveyor you see named most frequently is Geno's. I can recall having a Geno's steak, but I do not specifically recall whether it merited ranking on par with either Jim's or Pat's. Perhaps others here with knowledge of the subject will weigh in.
South Street is just great. Heart of the Italian Market. Some really good restaurants (Ralph's and Palumbo's Nostalgia come immediately to mind), A fantastic cheese and olives shop (Gaudio's). And Fante's, a kitchen store that looks unimpressive from the front doors on South Street, but which goes back and spreads out impressively. I have yet to come across a kitchen store that matches it. They have every kind of kitchen gadget known to man.) Finally, some really great Italian bakeries. Isgrow's is my favorite. Their cannolis are made fresh and they are amazing.
Aardvark Jr. once had a youth hockey tourney in Delaware, with a morning game and an evening game. I promised I'd take him to Philly, to Jim's, to have a bona fide steak. It was also the afternoon as the NCAA lacrosse tourney in town, so we had to wait in a very long line. He ate two full steaks, each whiz-with. He did not play well in the evening game.
Just for you turdbucket.

Did you see that Tucker Carlson video clip from over the weekend? He says he was going to fly to the White House to try to convince Trump to get out of this Iran war as soon as possible. One of his connections in the White House told him not to bother, though. They said that he's being shown internal polling that tells him 90% of the American people love what he's doing in Iran. Tucker referenced, "Polling viewers of Sean Hannity's program is not accurate."
It was an honest question, not sniping at you. Didn't know GA was started as a penalty colony haha
Haha, I know the word but was typing on my phone in a restaurant and didn't catch the auto-correct. Damn phone.Penal. Not to be confused with penile.
