I can absolutely believe that he is frequently and genuinely surprised to find himself sitting in the Oval Office.

Because his brain is alphabetti spaghetti.

Lettuce hope they see sense and find him not guilty.

I mean, it would free up loads of housing, and the traffic would get better.

Your house is burning down, but one of the firefighters is a Muslim socialist. Do you:

a) let him help put the fire out, or
b) let your house burn down?

If you answered b, welcome to Democrat leadership! You'll fit right in!

Until my grandmother moved out of her house aged 100 about 7 years ago she still had an outhouse toilet with an overhead tank and pull chain (plus a modern indoor loo). It worked, so why replace it? Bloody freezing in winter though!

Renovating our houses every few years is unnecessary and wasteful.

It was a bit institutional before but Lincoln would have understood it was a bathroom. Now he'd wonder how he ended up inside a block of marble. It makes my eyes cross like a magic eye picture.

Up its butt! I've been with W at tennis so no idea if anyone has yet braved the Rectum of Doom!

A freaking huge paper mache spider hanging out of a tree.

My family really don't take my arachnophobia seriously at Halloween.

South Korea exports about $125b worth of stuff to the US annually. But suuuure, they're going to *give* the US almost three times that amount to have tariffs taken off. Suuuure.

Such hypocrisy. I bet Cuomo has called countless ladies 'sugartits' and I highly doubt that was anatomically correct about any of them.

Is this so his AI broligarch buddies can profit freely off everyone else's intellectual property?

He's an ex-property developer with clear cognitive decline. He's not living in 2025 any more. It's 1985 in his head, so he can talk coherently about floors and paint. But ask him who he pardoned hours before? No idea.

You have a good point there. Towns are too small to weather the post-industrial storm, and often homogenous enough that 'outsiders' really stand out. England's cities are an entirely different beast to its towns.

You can extrapolate this to 'before hospitals existed people didn't get sick', which is prize winningly dumb but also perfectly fits the US right wing logic that anything you don't want to see doesn't exist.

Trump is just United Fruit Part Eleventy Billion: United Fruitcake.

The USA is only exceptional in terms of its exceptional arrogance in relation to C and S America, and its exceptional inability to recognise the consequences of its past actions.

Like a blanket pardon? So they could then commit murder and nobody can do anything? That sounds...suboptimal.

Is the statute of limitations 5 years on stuff like this? So it's a gamble for Blanche and others to assume the president in 5 years would be one who'd pardon them. A century's worth of normal history will happen between now and then though, so 🤷

Oh, so that's what the 'brown liquid' coming out of Trump's plane was: the Marine Corps good name and reputation. I hope they're embarrassed about what they've become.

It's a bit on the nose to suggest anyone speak to a doctor in the US when the cost of doing so would bankrupt half the country if R's got their way.

Hold up. He says, out loud, that they either buy the govt they want in Argentina or they use military force to remove the govt they don't want?

Sure, it's just a continuation of decades of arrogant bullying in C and S America, but it's nice of them to provide incontrovertible evidence for later.

Round here, those paper runs pay about $20 flat for a route that would take at least 2 hours. Way to teach our young people that their time has value.

Peace through strength? There's a word for that. It's intimidation.

Indeed they do, but with the largest military and economy in the world the US doesn't have to 'put up' with anything. Hence: why, and why now?

"If dictators can find a friendly foreign dictator to help protect them against their own population, they solve two problems at once. [...] Foreign troops are far less likely to refuse an order to fire on protestors than the dictators own soldiers because they are more removed from their targets."

Literally last night I read this paragraph in 'How Tyrants Fall' by Marcel Dirsus. Apart from $$$ it's hard to see good reasons for allowing a foreign airbase on US soil. Has it ever been allowed before? Why now?

Show me a child who has never had Tylenol/Calpol/paracetamol by, say, age 2. They'd be a tiny minority. By RFK's reasoning, everyone should have autism.

Another word for 'make' is fabricate. Fabricating, in terms of evidence, gets you firmly on the naughty list.

There's a fine line between 'plausible deniability' and 'appearing to be less aware than a houseplant'. The latter isn't a good long term look for a politician.

Huh? This Benny guy describes 'staring down an army' but posts an accompanying image of 12 people on an empty street, being watched from miles away? He sucks at propaganda.

Is there anything to stop Pritzker from deploying the NG to protect the people from ICE? I mean anything legally, rather than that it would lead to violent clashes with ICE or Trump deploying another state's NG to IL.

I read a take on here back when they were cutting food stamps, something like that the left would feed everyone in need in case one was an American, while the right would starve them all in case one wasn't.

This is the same, just with a more immediate chance of death.
