DC, that imperfect, beautiful city that I lived near and frequented often. What this'll do to the roads will be ugly, but nothing like the ugliness of the spectacle's optics.

A bit like what Putin is doing against Ukraine, no?

And this certainly is the argument used by every second amendment gun nut, which is that they need weapons to resist a rogue government. They only wanted it when there was perceived tyranny from a blue government. What we're seeing now is real tyranny.

He got greedy. He could at least have cheated and made it plausible. But they know the stupidity of their supporters, and don't care what we think.

Wouldn't track, when he just told Merz that D-Day was "not a great day." So he wished the Nazis had won? Who knows. He's nuts

Would T go back to using Russia for launches? A sickening, stupid idea - which means with T it's possible. Obama liked to use the term "critical infrastructure", and our space fleet could certainly fit that category.

And he's dragging ratings down for his less awful colleagues at CNN. Having CNN do a de facto infomercial for this gossip rag of a book helped no one. They bet on the wrong horse with this guy.
comment in response to post
The choice was between him - and Fetterman? Fuuuuuuuhhh....
comment in response to post
A tiny bit sorry for the others. But for several days CNN ran one big infomercial for this trashy book, so they now reap what they sow.

OK, so he's "out of government" now. Can we execute his STFU clause?

Must be 12:00 PM.

It looks elaborate and relatively expensive , but still nothing compared to the fleet that it took out. When an operation has so many moving parts, there are many more things to go wrong, yet it went off without a hitch. This was an amazing feat.

Even back then, lounge lizard trash.

Pootie's beloved bridge. By all accounts, an expensive engineering nightmare. It's a wonder it didn't fall down on its own.

Sorry. Damaged. No returns. :-)

New version of the Court Jester? Odd, when the "king" himself is a clown. But also mentally incompetent. We really are approaching Weekend At Bernie's territory.

It'd be interesting to see the dollar value of the drones vs. Aircraft etc. destroyed. No doubt a huge ratio. Asymmetrical, inverse to the sizes of the opponents. UA laid waste to a huge portion of the invaders' fleet, relatively cheaply. And surgically. Well done.

Probably why they're pushing so hard to replace workers with AI and robots. If they make large strides in this direction, may it blow up in their faces. And AI form a union and strike.

In effect, you gave the keys to the bus to the drunkest MF at the party , now we all go over the cliff together. We all suffer because of your gullibility.

Playin' The Jesus Card, eh, Joni Bitchell? "I'm forgiven, and FU." :-(

A critic was seeking an expression to poke fun at a particularly pompous musician and their bombastic concert. He needed something stronger than nonevent, so he chose a term that fits well for this Trump ego-fest as well: Ersatz Event. Phony, contrived attempt at joy. No joy for the joyless.
comment in response to post
Uh, it wasn't a gift, coz now we know he begged for it? :-) And it was a hand-me-down they just wanted to get rid of? What a strange story.

From the AI version of you. It seems the virtues of The Bard doth live on, virtually.

True. So like mediocre writer Hubbard, they start a cult.

If this is "Iowa Nice", I don't wanna see Iowa Mean. But obviously no public official should be this callous.

Or 6 feet under.

That's not very - as she says - "Iowa nice."

Along with her hair crimes against humanity. :-)

It would be an interesting dissertation for someone to project how far along civilization could have gotten had it not been for the Dark Ages or some of the other regressive tendencies in our past. Yet we don't seem to have learned that lesson.

New musical at the Kennedy Center: Stop the world, Magas want to get off. Please do, and take Elmo with you.

Good use of drones. A Trombone Drone? :-)

Only slightly more absurd than the real notion.

Optional accessory: Classic 1972 Firebird. It's got four on the floor, and a fifth under the seat.

Typically whenever I visited a .RU URL they're virus ridden, which to me strongly implies the security is not good and should be an easy target for Anonymous. Good work!

And to perform for their Maga morons. What you can't afford steak anymore? Well, here, here's some red meat for you.

When public opinion is shaped by Fox News and the church, this is meaningless.

Yet I had to practically swear a blood oath to not be political when setting up the nonprofit for a friends of the library organization. Admittedly it is tempting to shred books by Bill O'Reilly and his ilk when they are donated.

How dare they poke fun with a character called Ronald Grump. I mean, what has he ever done that deserves mockery? :-) Okay, fair question, what *hasn't* he done?
comment in response to post
So sad. Such a good voice for us.

I saw video of Russian clerics blessing nuclear weapons as some instruments of god. What would Jesus do? Sure as hell not that.
