Ah, but remember now…he did “acknowledge” the first American bomb strikes.

If that’s not statesmanship, then I simply don’t know what is.

I know. Feeling unwelcome in the most welcoming country in the world.

Just shows how utterly unaware so many Americans—especially *those* ones—can be sometimes.

It is.

In fact it’s worse than it sounds.

I made the mistake of trying it once. Exactly once. Not twice. Definitely not twice.

Halvveis?

Kom igjen, lads…hva har dere done this time?

WHY are we still having these insanely stupid fucking discussions?

90% tax on all billionaires
75% on all capital gains over whatever it is these rich fuckers make.

The naming of Ayatollah Khamemei today ensures that the majority of GOP senators will continue to think the exact same guy has been running Iran since 1979

I’m sure they do.

But I’d say that they’re in something of a minority.

Also, I’m reasonably certain—though willing to be corrected here—that Mexico also technically counts as “abroad” for Americans. For now, at least.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

The current situation reminds me how magical I find it that the petrol already in storage tanks at petrol stations manages to increase in price in line with global oil prices almost instantly.

But to decrease it always seems to need to wait a bit longer for the new, cheaper stuff to arrive.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

If they’re outside America, they more than likely didn’t vote for him.

Not a bad start to the day…

Aw, bless.

He can’t even manage that, can he?

Not without someone else’s help, no.

Mate, the spirit of the South never really went away.

The Confederacy lost, but I’m not entirely sure the Union won. Not really, not long-term.

Looking forward to his 7:50 call-in to Morning Report tomorrow. Last week’s was an utter cringefest.

Trump forgets here that this is literally what the Americans did in 1941.

In Helsinki they housed their homeless, and solved the problem.

In Auckland, our “Christian” PM owns a number of houses that sit empty but wants to fine the homeless for their poverty.

I don’t think they preach on Matthew 25:31-46 at his church very often.

It is hard to refrain from swearing with some of the topjcs they give us…

Did enjoy getting to lay into him on The Panel on Friday…

Does that actually count as “international?”

I mean, really?

Hate group? Absolutely.

But is he actually internationally recognised? Does he actually have that much reach?id like to think not…

the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings

I’m sorry…”regain?”

Fun fact: To keep production costs low, many Star Trek scenes were actually filmed on Earth rather than on location in outer space.
