Pure gold! And worth a mouthful of coffee over my laptop.

It's the denial of the existence of left-wing authoritarianism that has caused the Leftists to get their knickers in an almighty twist. They are in absolute denial that left-wing authoritarianism is a "thing", despite the overwhelming historical evidence. They also fail to realize that right-wingers absolutely detest pervasive authority of any kind. Leftists require rules and authority to govern their lives, because they are incapable of successfully managing their lives - indeed they are incapable of managing their own emotions, as is self-evident. Ironically, it is the right-wingers detest for authority that would prevent any authoritarian government from going too far. The latest election proves it. Oh wait...authoritarianism can't exist on the left. A circular conundrum. Sic semper tyrannisc. Edit: Some reading material for the OP. 0% chance it will be read, but... How Experts Overlooked Left-Wing Authoritarianism - The Atlantic

A hamburger is really just a round sandwich.

Potential taxi drivers of the future.

An English breakfast is not an English breakfast without lamb's kidneys.

Trump is transactional. He will have already told Zelenskyy not to dare using Biden's Blinken's option unless he wants to be screwed in the peace deal. Putin will have also been told to keep his flies closed.

I think the logical answer to that is a motorbike, because T-shirts don't have doors.

One day soon, smartphones will be as defunct as the 8-track and the boombox. And that's a worrying thought.

Our known universe is the residue in the bottom of a test-tube from the failed science experiment of an entity whose universe, mass, and time is 100,000,000,000,000100,000,000,000,000 greater than ours. Soon, we'll be flushed down the galactic WC. Or we could be in the Matrix.

The Left believe that people should be arrested for expressing a valid opinion that is contrary to their worldview. The Right would go to war to defend a Leftists' right to express their opinion. It shouldn't really be a moral dilemma.

It's ironic. Trump is picking those that are highly critical of governmental bureaucracy and overreach. They want less government, with less power. This is not typical of a totalitarian, authoritarian, or fascistic dictator - quite the opposite, in fact. If anybody thinks that a dictator of any ilk wants less power and actively invites his supporters to strip government of their authority, cognitive dissonance is strong in you. The government should fear the people. Elon, Vivek, Gaetz, Gabbard et al, bring it on!

I wish Bolt had a "Ladies" selection for motorcycles as they do for cars. Every female driver I've had has been smooth and safe, without being overly slow - they tend to adjust their speed according to the traffic condition. My theory is that they've spent a lifetime riding pillion behind their fathers and brothers, and know exactly what riding habits are uncomfortable for the passenger. Too rapid acceleration, too heavy braking, treating the throttle like a on/off switch, dodgy gear changes, depressing the false neutral when descending a hill, unnecessary lane changes when a blind man can see there is no advantage and not reading the traffic ahead and avoiding a s**t situation...etc.

I'm with Rogan. I suspect Biden voted MAGA on the 5th. That s**t eating Cheshire cat grin when he met with Trump gave the game away. And what a great story for his autobiography, "I gave the middle finger to Harris and the DNC for stabbing me in the back. I voted for the Devil reincarnate...and the Devil won."

I'm never sure if they're a chick with a d*ck or a bloke with t*ts.

The more the MSM dislike President Elect Donald Trump's appointments, the more appropriate the appointment is. Regard the MSM as a political barometer. If the "press" agree with an appointment, it's time to start worrying.

They should be sentenced to suffer through a week without using or consuming any product made from or that utilizes dinosaur juice in its manufacture or transportation. i.e sit naked and hungry in a cave for seven days. Muppets!

Possibly because the two subjects of the article have, at least in the face of observable evidence, XY chromosomes. It would be a serious matter if they were mis-gendered.

Put a cover over it, turn the pump off and forget it. Top it up once a year. You could leave it unattended for years and the water will still be recoverable.

Elon is a smart cookie, and Vivek is no slug. But the Washington swamp is deep and treacherous. They need to come up with a plan that is so quick and effective, that the swamp monsters don't have time to react or wreak vengeance. Something along the lines of a blitzkrieg attack - a full court press across multiple fronts that prevents the various swamp creatures and TLA agencies from helping to defend each other and bog the two Likely Lads down in litigation. I have no idea what that might look like. Maybe something as simple as disabling all the access cards and cellphones of a selected 80% of government employees at 02:59 on a Sunday. Whatever they do, they have to wreak instant havoc in every department to avoid being devoured by the swamp. And let's face it. If every government department did absolutely nothing for a month, the world would be a much happier place. I think Musk is well aware of this. He would have no issue with government coming to a total standstill.

When Jordan Peterson enters a room, he doesn't turn the light on. He turns the dark off. Courtesy of JP, I now consider myself to be a (non-practicing) lapsed atheist.

I agree in principle, but Boris' character is about as deep as a shallow puddle.

I frequently attribute my morning headaches to dodgy ice-cubes.

Methinks you do an injustice to the Bard. Surely, The Tragedy of King Lear is more appropriate. "I am a very foolish fond old man, Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less; And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind."

Credit where credit is due, JT was still actively posting as of Friday, but he may now be feeling a little bit punch-drunk.

We are so unburdened by what has been,
