Don't all maggots eat flesh? ;-)

I was trying so hard not to laugh at the absurdity.
He really did say that.

Most of them ask about plurals (bicycles. bridges, buses, &c) so when there's only one, I skip. ;-)

Any truth to this one, or did somebody just throw it together?
I can't find it in any original form.

They seem to have been in training for the past few days. ;-)

Any changes to the lyrics? (Due to changes in politics?)
I just heard it on the radio, and haven't yet had time to dig into it.

Just heard it on the radio. :-)
Jacknife Lee/Mitch Easter remix.
Still trying to figure out if there are any changes to the lyrics.

"...is seeking...."?
Watch more Sesame Street.

Better than the person currently claiming that title.

I'm still wondering who the bimba behind Mark Warner is who insists on displaying her cleavage.

Might want to spell check your post. ;-)

I'm very happy with my electric (battery powered) lawn mower. ;-)

I'm not fond of him, or his party.
Speaks well, but not to be trusted. (IMHO)

Thanks to Pete Buttigieg, who reposted, (and an apparently Republican formal schoolmate) I just watched (listened) to the entire program on Fox Business. Musk is spewing out the same crap as Trump.

Strange. It almost seems like what the U.S. did to Germany ca. 85 years ago. ;-)

Actually, back then it was known as the William Tell competition. ;-)

I don't like the guy, but I don't see all the fuss about the stock.
Everyone's posting short term images.
It had a peak when Trump was elected.
It's looks like it's back to around a five year average.
Definitely 2024 values.
He may have even bought more Tesla stock, and sold it at the peak.

My mistake. Sorry. I missed the note about who it's from.

What happened to the Munich Agreement, with Britain and others allowing Germany to attack and annex the Sudetenland?
That pretty much started the war.

post
I didn't start the thread.
I reacted to someone who stated that Russia helped.
My comment is basically, "The degree is debatable".
Read a little more thoroughly.

I never said that didn't happen. I stated that they had an agreement. Stalin was no better than Hitler.

Strange logic, but okay.
If you hadn't been able to secure a mortgage for a house in a nice neighborhood, your child may not have had the same opportunity to go to a nice school.
In contrast, the U.S. was helping friends and allies, for political gains, of course, but not the same as your example.

Are you forgetting the Vichy's? Not with the Allies.
Most of the countries you've listed were not still colonies in 1940. e.g. Morocco. A French protectorate, and under the Vichy government.

There's no argument.
I only stated in the beginning that there were a number of possible outcomes if the U.S. hadn't entered the war with soldiers.
One of them was the entirety of Europe as the USSR.
Read what I typed again.

You're omitting a bit of history. The U.S. was prevented from entering the war due to laws. Roosevelt's hands were tied.
They supplied the war effort through the Lend-Lease program, and others. The Soviets were fighting with U.S. made tanks, trucks, and aircraft.
Japan's attack changed that.

Didn't I specify North Africa? Where the Germans were trying to take the Suez Canal?
comment in response to
post
Joined late because the U.S. population didn't want another war. Neutrality/non-interventionism. There wasn't much Roosevelt could do.
Japan changed that.
Prior to that, there were all sorts of deals for the U.S. to supply arms to Europe. Lend-Lease and others.
Trump just doesn't care.
comment in response to

Not exactly.
They had a non-aggression pact and agreed to split the spoils.
Then came Barbarossa.
comment in response to

Just wondering, which North African countries were British colonies in 1940?
comment in response to
post
What's rubbish?
Barbarossa started in '41. The U.S. wasn't officially in the war yet.
He already had the rest of Europe and most of North Africa.
You don't read too well.
I stated there's a debate on how much the Russians helped.
They might have won it without the second front. Maybe not.
