(Yawn) No offense Jim, but we live on a daily diet of red meat. How is spa day in the alps relevant to our constant struggle here in Califailure? Time is of the essence, and we haven’t a moment to lose.
11.1% of Americans are living under the poverty line, representing approximately 36.8 million people. To qualify that's $29,960 for a family of four: I hope the current administration can help some of those move up and enjoy the spa life.
Can someone sheath that John Thomas? Are you sure it not 11.2% of Americans? Does that number include illegal aliens, LGBTQ+, people of color? I wont have marginalized groups underrepresented on my watch. It is the opressor/oppressed lens through which the progressive mind reduces everything which places blame for all inequality on the maldeeds of the rich or by inadequate government handouts. The progressive blames his miserable lot in life on others but never considers the cause in the mirror. Success is the product of hard work and tenacity in the face of failures. Dr Carson was born poor and black and raised by his mother alone. He credits his success to his mother's love and encouragement and as a Christian ultimately to God. Had his mother taught him that as a poor black man he had no chance he may have ended up being a drug addict and crook like Hunter Biden but would have no one to bail him out. How many lives have been destroyed by the progressive reduction of life to opressor/oppressed? If part of a victim group, it inculcates a sense of helplessness and resignation to failure. In the progressive mind the oppressors are white males and to be loathed while all others are victims. I can think of nothing more demotivating.
J. Barton, Try thinking a little harder. Your mouth seems much larger than your brain.
Notice: none of you Republicans DARES say one negative word about the inept vile man in the W.H. Instead you all just keep focusing on irrelevant issues like Biden and his family.
It must be embarrassing to try to understand-defend such a dummy-sicko like trump.
Thomas John gave you a statistic ! FACT. You responded with rubbish.
Hey Freeman, look closely at the featured cartoon, is that YOU being escorted back to the Psych Ward? Your day pass has expired. If you hurry, they’re passing out Thorazine for lunch!
LT….come out into the open, instead of hiding behind two letters, and then, perhaps, people might seriously consider your snide remarks. Till then…..your comments are meaningless and pathetic. But don’t stop: gives us all a smile and a nod the head; yes! Another idiot Republican!
I have never been to a spa or had a massage in my life. I find that degree of self indulgence to be off-putting. For that matter I have only taken one loan ever and paid it off when Clinton was in office. I am an anti-hedonist.
So were you still a democrat back in the Obama days? Before you were born again? Voting for all this stuff you revile now and now burdened by the guilt?
More and more anger. JL - You purposely misrepresent anyone you don't agree with. The poor in the US in the are the blame both sides for the past 100 years. It wasn't Bidens fault, it's not Trumps. Take your machine to some other fight. How the F am I sabotaging the current administration by pointing out how strange it is to blither on about spa days when so much needs to be done in the US to help move the poor and middle class up. Again, thanks for your comment, Kellyeanne. I do give you credit for being articulate - I guess you got something out of being a lawyer.
Thomas John, I thought I was the only one on that list of JL’s shade throwing and misrepresentations, since I never agree with his radical right opinions, he tends to question my intelligence and knowledge of some of my statements. He likes to throw in those hundred dollar words every so often, and truthfully I do have to look them up once in a while.
You do need to take JL’S advice and get out of the way from sabotaging this administration, as they’ve proved in the last few days they can do that all on their own. If you get lucky you may even be invited onto their group text. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A United States passport is far from the most coveted passport in the world. With the orangutan and his sideshow in the White House, I don’t see the US gaining traction anytime soon.
JL, you magas constantly keep referring to the last 12 years of democratic rule you seem to forget that your worthless leader is included in those 12 years.
JL You are wrong…holding a U.S. passport USED to be a coveted asset. IT IS NO LONGER THE CASE…..don’t you see what is being DONE to the CITIZEN-passport holders under this administration? Are you blind and deaf? We may lose our Soc. Security, our voting rights, our lives!
ARE YOU REALLY not aware how our Democracy is being torn apart in the falsehoods of “ excess”? Helping poor people is not an excess. That empty life of SPAs is! Trump is ensuring this is NO longer the land of opportunity.
Where are you living that you can’t see this happening right now?
J.L. IT IS TIME you learn that DEFLECTING……that is,NOT addressing the core or gist of an argument….. is NOT intelligent. DEFLECTING is a cop-out for those who can’t face the fact of what is being said. YOU do this all the time in these comments. You never address the comment you pretend to address, and you never make a cogent point. You slither, like a snake, avoiding TRUTHS and FACTS.
I challenge you to make one true statement about trump which you think is a GOOD comment about his character, his life, his convictions, his marriages, his bankruptcies, his thefts by not paying work done for him, or maybe his refusal to paying his
IRS taxes until confronted…..I would like to hear you state clearly how trump can possibly even undo what he has already done to hurt so many Americans. One of us is not being truthful as to the damage already incurred, AND ALL THE DAILY PROTESTS ACROSS AMERICA seem to indicate most Americans are angry at trump. They are hurting…..and needlessly Americans have been hurt, deported, accused illegally.
Try not to deflect; it is slithering. Speak your truth if you can locate it . I really would like to know what you like about the orange man OR his policies.
Thomas John, I personally needed a spa trip after yesterday's post and comments-war about how Santa Barbarans not going to see the film “October 8” proves a high level of anti-Semitism here - as opposed to the fact that people just don't go out to see movies anymore, they'd rather watch them on their wall-to-wall home screen.
Lol, TJ, thank you. I was picking something up downtown yesterday and the woman at the front desk asked me how I've been. When I explained, she said “I'm so glad you survived, Polly. My bother was perfectly healthy and fit, got Sepsis and died in five days.”
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I thought you were one of the anti war followers of this page. I've appreciated your comments against the US backed Ukraine war. But now I read that you support the Gaza genocide and need a 'spa day' because most of your community doesn't? This page is a trip.
Hey, I’ll be the first to admit I’m a Capitalist Pig. I love spa day, sipping on Veuve Cliquot, snacking on Beluga caviar, dining on Pate de Foie Gras, but will skip desert because I’m watching my weight. Love the high life, especially in Paris during spring. All this costs MONEY and kudos to our President for addressing the horrible economy he inherited. A hide tide raises all ships which equates to prosperity for all. Yes, even for liberals living in denial and void from any reality, all while living in their BS, fantasy world!
Paul, I have always considered spa treatments hedonistic and actually a bit repugnant. I have even felt that such self indulgence must be a sin. Is there a biblical perspective on this?
What a delightful little story. And a nice break from our normal BS. It’s always fun to see what the good life is like in a different country and culture. Especially where people take time to enjoy life’s little pleasures. Breakfast sounded yummy.
I would prefer articles for the SB Current be chosen for their political relevance. This is a rare resource, addressing (usually) local issues and being informative. This autobiographical diary entry only served to push class-warfare buttons and inspire the usual EdHat-style snarking. Yawn.
Calla, you're living the good life in retirement. Good for you. One day I am going to try this spa life at this resort, although I fear the breakfast is going to offset whatever health benefits I would get from their spa experience.
Yesterday's article was condemning those who don't support genocide and today's is a vapid bougie piece that serves no real purpose. This publication is really doing important work.

You’ve obviously fallen off the wagon again.
Ms Freeman's writing reads like dialogue from a bad sitcom about snarky high school girls.
Well said Nancy, you really put me in my place.
Amen
Oh yeah, I forgot you like to wear your hard worked for espadrilles. Have a nice Spa day Jeff.
I have never been to a spa or had a massage in my life. I find that degree of self indulgence to be off-putting. For that matter I have only taken one loan ever and paid it off when Clinton was in office. I am an anti-hedonist.
Perhaps we are more alike than you'd like to know.
Angry today?
Don’t worry, Jeff Barton, your worthless leader, is doing his darndest to make this country for straight white magas , with money.
Don’t worry, Jeff Barton, trump is doing his darndest to make this country specifically for straight white magas, with money.
Just be patient TJ, the best is yet to come. Happy days are here again!
I'm hoping they will be.
So were you still a democrat back in the Obama days? Before you were born again? Voting for all this stuff you revile now and now burdened by the guilt?

That’s for sure. JL.
We do live in a wonderful country for social mobility. I agree. And thanks for being civil.. kind of anyway.

Polly from the sounds of your last hospital stay you should take a spa day - or a few.
Lol, TJ, thank you. I was picking something up downtown yesterday and the woman at the front desk asked me how I've been. When I explained, she said “I'm so glad you survived, Polly. My bother was perfectly healthy and fit, got Sepsis and died in five days.”

I want to go there asap😂
Wow, a innocent vlog on Switzerland turns into a dumpster fire!

Champagne and cheesecake in a medium usually serving red meat cooked rare.
This is interesting, but to those worried about the collapse of California and the possibility of WWIII…
Paul, I have always considered spa treatments hedonistic and actually a bit repugnant. I have even felt that such self indulgence must be a sin. Is there a biblical perspective on this?
I like my T-Bone bloody rare Doc!
I agree that Hillary should make anyone reconsider their perspective.
What a delightful little story. And a nice break from our normal BS. It’s always fun to see what the good life is like in a different country and culture. Especially where people take time to enjoy life’s little pleasures. Breakfast sounded yummy.
