  1. If they pushed this the right way they could come up with something akin to a state religion, which I suspect is the fundamental motive.
  2. Get arrested in the US and you might be shipped off to El Salvador. This is the MAGA way. In keeping with the subject at hand, you can end up in a country where beans and lentils are a central part of the diet, and you know what that means!
  3. It is known as market manipulation, falls under the same category and handled by the SEC all the same. It's like the difference between a hold-up and a mugging. If you don't understand this, well . . . Save the inane and pointless hair splitting for your Fox friends.
  4. Are you claiming that Republicans are too moral to do such a thing?
  5. When this one worked I figured he's going to be doing this all the time. I'm surprised at how quickly they are going after him. In his previous time in the WH the response would only be a chorus of "ooo, he's not supposed to do that!"
  6. Saw a piece of an interview with Sam Jackson recently. He said they also shot a version of the scene where he kills Honeybunny.
  7. A stable? Like where they keep the jackass? Ok, maybe he is the smartest one in the stable.
  8. The Ox-Bow Incident A tale of vigilantism in the US in the 19th century, with young Henry Fonda. There is also a book. As for these pedo hunters I would question their personal motives.
  9. With the exception of an ad on Al Jazeera about 20 years ago regarding an interview with him I haven't heard his name since the 1970s or so. I don't think anyone cares what he has to say. Or has he branched out to bending forks as well?
  10. "Believe my prophecies or I'll bend your spoons!"
  11. Hmmm, guilty conscious. Do tell.
  12. I would think Russian nationals are more adept at dealing with a corrupt system than most occidentals.
  13. Hello, Fox fan. Yep, when the overwhelming news is all bad for DT they still need to put something on the air, and this is where they become a sad comedy: blame Biden, blame Hillary, blame any Dem, trans sports, trans bathrooms -- these are the true threats menacing the US. Biden is no longer president, how can you not know that? DT or EM is president, it varies moment to moment. When they blamed Hillary for the Signal dogpile it was predictable. If seeking humor, no need to look further than Fox Business channel: stock market down 2% overall but the Fox alert! is a rehash of the trans fencing story from last week. I'm surprised they put that little market tracking box in the lower corner, I would suspect someone in the WH demanded they don't report on the market when the news is bad. Thanks to Fox, OAN and Vlad's own RT there are a lot of Americans who have never seen the images of the Jan. 6 riot.
  14. Maybe he's spending the weekend hanging out in the locker rooms at the golf tournament, and later on he'll be telling the press about their weenie sizes, which he has done before.
  15. I definitely recall during DT's first term he said more than once "the US has done some bad things too" in relation to Russia. Fox ignored it. For the first time ever I thought "now is a time when we need O'Reilly" but I doubt he'd have the guts to go anti-MAGA, and DT already has a devoted toilet hygiene servant (Sean H.). In the Cold War era saying that would be branded defeatism and the hawks would call for anyone in US politics who said it to be burned at the stake. Alas, when Hillary branded him "Putin's puppet" at that debate she should have gone in for the kill to his lame response, IMO that would have upset the whole MAGA sh_t show; I was watching it and was livid that she backed down, like a sports fan who just saw his quarterback drop the ball at the 50 yard line. I support the Dems because they are the only non-conservatives with a chance of succeeding, but bringing a spoon to a knife-fight just doesn't do it -- that was my lesson from the 1988 presidential campaign.
  16. EM has never been to space. He's not THAT stupid. At least she can think of herself as the best looking woman on the trip. There are two in that bunch that are so grotesque I can't look at them. I saw a clip of one of her music vids where she has fireworks coming out of her boobs, will she do that in space?
  17. Katy's net worth around US$400 million. But I doubt Bezos is charging them anything. But these days whenever I hear about stuff like this I think of that deep-sea tragedy a few years ago. I saw them on teevee putting in the bolts to seal the doors and thought "ummmm....."
  18. And the US markets down another ~5% as of this writing, leaning toward -6% ♫ bye-bye Miss American Pie ♪ The post-inauguration MAGA bubble is gone,
  19. If they did a remake of From Russia With Love (best Bond film IMO), she'd be a great Rosa Kleb. For me it'll always be Connery. Couldn't appreciate R Moore, to me he was more like a Mr Steed quasi-comical character. However, having him go into a bar in NYC's Harlem is brilliant in the idea itself.
  20. It's pretty obvious Bezos is a boob-boy. Maybe he'll go into their dressing rooms unannounced, like that beauty pageant guy does. Katy should take R Brand with her up there, and throw him out of the capsule -- she might get a humanitarian award if she did.
  21. So, where are Karl Rove's and Newt Gringrich's sage words these days? Their Citizens United monster has gone Jurassic Park. Money in politics? No one really bothers to keep track of it anymore.
  22. This is what I'm curious about: the debate is the definition of tariff, which should be settled by a dictionary. He claims he's collecting $$ from the countries of origin, but the US consumer will be paying. So, his fans are going to pay the new tax and not look in the mirror?
  23. Yeah, Irish Star has taken an interest in the decline of the US. Hey, 40 years from now it may prove to be an influential archive/chronicle of our times.
