Stuck In Green Acres

I'll bet if Trump asked 10 Downing, US Pharma firms could save millions replacing Rhesus monkeys here with real people through the UK's NHS.

What a pathetically prone & fawning excuse for a real country.

Why has Tim Davie resigned and what was the Trump documentary edit? The BBC has come under fire over a Panorama documentary that was accused of misleadingly editing a speech by Donald Trump.

I've always been annoyed when people say the UK is nothing but a 5 cent whore with no real purpose in the world other than whatever the US wants to use it for.

Turns out they were right.

Watch: Chinese company's new humanoid robot moves so smoothly, they had to cut it open to prove a person wasn't hiding inside Xpeng's new humanoid, IRON, is designed to work alongside people — but it won't be folding your laundry anytime soon.

If we really want to balance the scales with Chinese competitiveness, the US should actively engage in corporate esp I onage like China & give the IP away to all US competitors in the same sector.

@democrats.org gave MAJOR ground but GOP is all or none. I don't see this ending until spring.

Mississippi State football is a metaphor of the entire state of Mississippi. The stands are full each game the whole way through because they've got nothing better to do than drink themselves blind while watching themselves lose.

Export taxes rarely work. But a 100% export tax on ultra-pure silicon sold to China would be a good thing.

After California's vote to counter Trump, here's where redistricting stands In the summer, Texas drew new lines to help the GOP win in the midterm elections. California countered this week. The Republicans might have an edge in the redistricting battle as it spreads nationall...

Ultimately I think this is going to backfire in Texas & work out as planned elsewhere giving the Dems an overall advantage. Texas is largely redistricting as if swing voters that voted Trump in 24 are hard Red. Probably not.

If SCOTUS dumps voting rights act however...

@braves.com are completely rebuilding bullpen letting Johnson & Kinley go along with Iglaseas. Braves have $60mil to 1) get a shortstop ($20mil), get a #4 reliever ($10mil) & build a relief crew top to bottom ($30mil)

The Army listed German food banks for soldiers seeking shutdown help The Army removed the list after German media reported that U.S. troops were using the local foodbanks, a U.S. official said.

If @democrats.org were smart (subjunctive/irrealis), they would spend money and make a campaign of this interviewing fed workers with faces & voices masked.

Trump reveals renovated Lincoln Bedroom bathroom as his White House remodel continues | CNN Politics President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he has renovated the Lincoln Bedroom bathroom, sharing before and after images on social media as he continues to put his touch on the White House.

That's historically accurate for Lincoln?

If you relax & suppress the gag reflex it's kind of funny. An endless display of tackiness & bad tast - what white-trash consider luxury when they win the powerball.
