Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Let who cook? And what does cook mean?
In case you're asking about the phrase itself, it means to let someone continue to do what they're doing to get results that will probably happen from the path they're on.
Oh. OK.
Thanks
I mean, I don’t agree with the sentiment, but thank you for explaining it. I was always a little fuzzy on what that metaphor meant.
Let the cook do their job and get out of the kitchen?
More like, “let’s wait and see what happens”
If I understand the metaphor correctly
So how would you interpret that being used in this thread? Something is not connecting in my brain. It’s too ambiguous!!
umm... I think the commenter who used the metaphor was trying to say that they want to wait and see what Miller will do before theY (or we) react.
I disagree-- I don't think anyone needs to wait to see what this not-neo Nazi will do, as it's been crystal-clear what his intentions are since he was born. This guy came out of the uterus Siging Heil. he's the kind of guy who would call Hitler a 'pussy' for not going 'far enough'
No, they’re saying leave the would-be attempted assassin alone to see what happens
I think you’re arguing with a bot or someone with multiple accounts and too much free time. That escalation was wild
Bro right?? 😂 I absolutely am arguing with either multiple bots or one really angry dude with multiple accounts and terrible reading comprehension. I still like to push back a little to call them out for other users to see, but I’m definitely done replying now because I obviously batted a hive, and all the replies before yours are just nonsense. I’ve had a couple arguments with other bots or bad actors since the midterms, calling them out on their bullshit, so maybe I got flagged for attack or something, because I was not at all expecting this reaction from such a simple comment 😂
Thank you for talking some sense into the situation. It was a bit disheartening to get swarmed with these responses and not see any normal people weighing in, so I appreciate you
I don’t blame you at all, I spent a few minutes rereading everything wondering where i went wrong. I kept thinking there was a comment or something I missed because you kept getting downvoted and the replies were so aggressive over you trying to add clarification.
Just ignore it and move on, it’s not worth the hit to your sanity lol
Seriously, I myself was rereading everything to see if I did somehow miss something or accidentally responded to the wrong comment in the beginning, because I was just flabbergasted with the hostility and volume of replies 😅 That’s part of their MO though, “flood the zone” type stuff, just bombarding me with multiple accounts spewing aggressive nonsense.
Definitely not replying to any more of those responses, since it would only end with more and more bullshit.
Thanks again for backing me up
funny, because I'm pretty sure I know what I'm saying since they're my own words coming out of my own mouth. it's extraordinarily arrogant of you to think you can just hijack what I said and assign a different meaning to it while blaming ME for YOUR assholery.
SO 1) you're definitely wrong, probably because you're obviously lying about what I said to make yourself look better
if you can't defend your shitty argument, just admit you're wrong and dip out
if you can't - or won't - do #1 or #2, at least just shut the fuck up and stop embarrassing yourself. there's only so many teenagers who will be entertained by an adult punching themselves in the face
…I was talking about what shweddy meant when he said “let him cook”.
Holy shit dude
No, you definitely weren’t. You got called out, and you think I’m dumb enough to fall for your deflection? you should definitely know better by now. And I suspect you do.
I mean, that’s pretty on-brand for you, but your bullshit still isn’t gonna work here.
Others may have given up by now, but I’m gonna keep going until you either answer for the shit you said, OR, you just give up and go away
My dude, I said this to cruseo. Why would I say “they’re saying” if I was trying to refute what cruseo was saying? I would’ve said “you’re saying”.
I think the bots are malfunctioning
Sounds like some top-tier deflection to dodge the bullshit about what you were saying.
So can you defend the shitty thing you said, or not? Stop trying to blame me for your inability to defend what you said.
Ok, here’s my defense.
I said:
Here’s how I defend it:
I think that when shweddy said “let him cook”, he meant “let the would-be attempted assassin keep doing what he’s doing”.
There. Maybe phrasing it like I’m talking to a five-year-old will help your AI parse information better. Hope it helps!
You had to know that anything else you said vanished the second you said this.
And, of course, the only response to this is “fuck you“
Because this is the most petulant, childish, non-sequitur you could possibly have mustered. It’s also the ultimate surrender, admitting that you’re wrong and you know it.
I both accept your surrender, and I have blocked you because I don’t wanna hear any more of your bullshit.
Continue torturing yourself if you must, but I will not allow you to continue torturing me
When you start a conversation admitting your ignorance, ending it by calling everyone else stupid is a really bad way to go
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re not gonna convince anyone that you’re being reasonable while throwing a tantrum, regardless of your argument
Grow up
Back up what you said, or admit you were wrong
Don’t blame others because they also had the temerity to call you out on your bullshit
“Don’t blame others”, like the other dude isn’t just another bot in your net, sure 😂
I’m not sure why I need to “back up what I said” when all I said was what I thought shweddy was saying, but if you are really struggling to understand what I said or why I said it, look at my latest reply to the “other guy”. Maybe that will help calibrate your AI too
It’s you both your uncertainty and ignorance that led you into this disastrous conversation. And it is both of those flaws in your character by which I am certain you will fail to find your way out.
I have better things to do this weekend than to educate you, so I’m going to block the foul disgustingness that comes out of you rather than try to correct you.
Best wishes
Phrased a different way, "let it cook, it's not done yet".
Ummm that made it worse. What is cooking? And at what stage will it be done?
I remember my first metaphor
Clearly you haven’t left it.
