The Trump South Park episode is extraordinary.

Proper gloves off satire.

Gillray would approve.

๐ŸŠ1: What's the maddest thing we can come up with to distract from uncomfortable real news?

๐ŸŠ2: Nuclear war escalation?

๐ŸŠ1: Nah, we did that one yesterday.

๐ŸŠ2: Nuclear destruction of the Earth *and* Moon?

๐ŸŠ1: Bingo.

Is there anything these FUBARers don't want to try and totally FUBAR?

Then again, It's a Politico exclusive so probably not worth more than a thrown bone crapitulation meh.

I'd repost the story from somewhere worthwhile, if that were doable.

Thank you for posting that snippet here, Wozza. That's what I think and believe and how I live my life. A lot of friends and people close to me don't agree with me.

You weren't wrong, Stuzi. Crowdfunder already up, I hear. Some Brits are the most gullible plonkers on the planet.

Also heard he was on a flight from Portugal when he arrived in Luton. If you hear which airport he flew in from, please give me a nudge.

Portugal as well. That's the kind of crap I do. But then I don't go around picking up payments and assistance from crims and return to con the most gullible Brits into crowdfunding my 'legal expenses'.

If you hear which Portuguese airport he flew in from, let me know.

Our life is like a play. In our 20s and 30s weโ€™re hoping to make a grand entrance. In our 40s and 50s trying to stay on stage. And in our 60s and 70s hoping to make a graceful exit

Change Everything No 22: Humans are the masters of unintended consequences Of rats and men, and how one Baptist was disastrous for the long-beaked echidna

Since lots of rat hysteria - see "Giant Rat of Normanby" - at moment, a good time to point to my Substack noting our culture "is particularly bad at both creating messes, & blaming the creatures that flourish in world we created"

Hang on. If Tramp can remove himself from the list, he can also remove chum billionaire paedophiles who bung him enough.

And then I suppose he can just plonk his enemies in there instead. Crooked Hilary, of course. You know, because she was the crooked one out of those two.

Facebook Memories just reminded me of the time I busted my dogs play fighting so they tried to pretend they were actually just being lovely to each other.

Financial Advisor: Do you understand cryptocurrency?

There's always the possibility he'd step aside and hand the reins straight over to his boss, the Right, Honorable Prime Minister Putin.

And that would see Britain's Independence Day mission completed.

It's not gonna be enough.
He'll be bored with $30bn in moments.

And he'll probably blow it on legal teams to claim he founded Tesla or something.

"Tesla was incorporated on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning."

"Ian Wright was the third employee, joining a few months later."
