Hmm. . . if a foreign head of state/government were a veteran, would it have been appropriate for them to wear their medals on their suits? E.g., if George H.W. Bush (Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, Asia/Pacific Campaign Medal) were President, would it have been permitted by protocol for...

Infinite simplification is an apt description of most of this board.

On the upside, at least they don't have to go home to a bed-sit in Leeds.

Here's a joke to get you through the day. . . Heisenberg and Schroedinger are out for a drive when they're pulled over by a cop. The cop comes up to the car and says "You were going 56 mph in a 35 zone!" Heisenberg answers "Great! Now I'm lost!" Then the cop wants to look in the trunk and...

Sisyphean task, ain't it?

True enough, but sadly, there's ample foolhardy to go around.

This will, of course, make not the tiniest dent or scratch in the Marching Morons' certainty that the entire population of Martha's Vineyard are White liberal Democrats who eat avocado toast three meals a day.

It was nice that they got through seven hours of televised ceremony without a single shot of some entertainer in the crowd or the pews. And that nobody misbehaved, or if they did, they got stuffed most ricky-tick.

And therefore the one they cling to hardest, once they fictionalise it enough to tell themselves they're heroes, not "suckers and losers," to quote a former U.S. president .

I'm annoyed that the WHOLE DAMN LEAGUE is playing in the West while I'm in Ontario. Easternmost game is in WPG. Oh, well, sucky season anyhow.

Back in the 50s and 60s, the Klan launched a program of "Reverse Freedom Rides." They'd offer one-way bus tickets to northern cities to Black people, with false promises of jobs and housing. They enjoyed "owning the libs" and humiliating black people. So DuhSantis and Abbott are not only...

Hurricane Fiona battered Puerto Rico on Sunday, cutting power to the entire island while bringing destructive winds and life-threatening flash flooding. Conditions rapidly deteriorated even before the Category 1 storm made landfall Sunday afternoon, and the situation was not expected to improve...

Sure can milk 'em for donations and votes, though.

Here y'go, Ron. If you find humour in this stunt, this should be a real knee-slapper for ya. . .

I guess the UK don't accept that Trump is the REAL president.

Could well be. I just pointed out the DuhSantis's and Abbott's little stunt is purely performative, and nobody wants to solve the problem. They just want to rile up the bases and keep the money rolling in.

Most of the border crossers remain in the Southern states, where they can get work in agriculture.. Not sure about the visa overstays. Yeah, nothing as humourous as conning legal asylum-seekers from Venezuela onto planes and dumping them on a community not ready to receive them. Good...

This is what's left of "conservatism." Reveling in performative cruelty. In a different country.

Hey, that Mercedes ain't cheap!

You're enjoying the cruelty and the show, ain't you?
