He ain't out until he's out. Yak yak yak but his carcass is still in Number Ten. Next time he leaves the building change the locks. -
Elon Musk says he's terminating $44B Twitter buyout deal

He should be good for a few weeks of daily mentions in the media with this. -
Perhaps they forgot where they planted them.

Sounds like the work of Rupert Inc., very Fox News-ish. According to them Obama and Hillary are toiling away to tear the US apart. -

Don't forget the Pedo Tesla Guy. Megalomaniac pedo for sure, obviously working on becoming pedo dictator. Americans can thank their lucky stars that presidents need to be native born, oh wait, is the Supreme Court is looking into it? Republicans are ok with pedos as long as they are fellow Republicans. https://time.com/5019684/roy-moore-republicans-trump-christianity/ -
The noteworthy thing about this incident is we get to watch a man's face while he murders another man. Not a quick shot to head or chest, but a prolonged minutes-long strangulation. Among the most impressive incidents of the social media reporting. But steps are being taken to prevent more of this in the future. https://www.police1.com/legal/articles/its-now-illegal-to-record-cops-within-8-feet-in-arizona-ePTPl6ph64RNDZ9L/ Floyd was subdued and more armed officers were just a few feet away. Remarks about how the cop was overmatched is an extremely ridiculous excuse, but is of typical Fox quality.

Oscar-nominated 'Godfather' actor James Caan dies at 82
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
I liked him in City of Ghosts (even though Depardieu stole the show). He played tough guys and was born in a tough part of NYC (same area as Pacino). Really irks me to hear fake Noo Yawk accents in movies. Maybe City of Ghosts is not well-known, he plays a con man hiding out in Cambodia. It may remind you of certain characters you'd meet in LOS. -
Was staying near Hualumpong in 1975. A lady who did fortune telling on a mat on the sidewalk sold sticks. I shared a room with a Kiwi guy who showed me how to roll with a cardboard filter, and funnel-shaped, all new to me because where I was from the stuff was expensive so we rolled 'em thin. There were moments of paralysis and hours lost staring at the ceiling; these are not complaints. I had just come from India/South Asia, curry and dahl for months, so hitting the street stalls was a delight. 1 baht = US$ 0.05 My first Asian buzz was in Kandahar. Got there at night, horse & buggy driver got me some hash. Improvised a way to smoke it by breaking off a piece and sticking in the end of an unfiltered cigarette. Couldn't have done more than a half-gram but the effect was like LSD, which I was not prepared for. Managed to go off to dreamland, then at the crack of dawn Migs buzzed the town, so low you could see their rivets and the stone building shook. If I could go back in time I'd do it all again.

BREAKING NEWS ! Boris Johnson to resign as Prime Minister
bendejo replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
There is a political personality in the US named Steve Bannon. A heavy boozer with a strawberry nose who always manages to look like he slept through the night wherever it was he passed out, but supposedly he is a rather wealthy man. Perhaps it was he that helped BoJo create that image. Oh yeah, I should mention that he is an evangelist of the world fascist initiative and one of the people who advised DT to attain the White House. In Memo from Turner, in the movie "Performance" there is the phrase "the man who squats behind the man." That's him. -

While the US's former president is a standup comedian without a sense of humor, BoJo is about visual comedy. Who can doubt the comedic genius of the zip-line stunt? The hair, that stupid expression he gives while staring straight into a camera? Perhaps his next move will be a tv show where he creates a hapless comedic character, like Mr Bean. In episode 1 he visits a chicken hatchery in the US where his job is to wash the chickens in chlorine bleach, a favorite subject of his while PM. Episode 2 he is an appliance repairman called to Mar-a-Lago to fix an exploding dishwashing machine, one of DT's favorite subjects. -

Brazilian student arrested in Bali for carrying cannabis from Thailand
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In some states it hasn't changed. It has become ridiculous: in one state it's still the menace to society, cross the state line and you'll see billboards advertising it and get discount coupons on the back of your supermarket receipt. The previous occupant of the White House had an Attorney General who wanted all the laws against it brought back, fortunately he was removed. No reason to believe someone else will not try the same thing. I'm anticipating this could be an issue in the next presidential election. -

The concept of "think too much" (or 'tin tu mutt') is very much a criticism in Brazil. Why worry? And when it comes to the law and people with $$$ it's pretty much like Thailand in that respect as well. Poor kid might still be thinking the parents are going to come through and get him out of it. -
Shooting reported at 4th of July parade in Chicago suburb of Highland Park
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
The important thing is the Constitutional right of the shooter to have the weapons. Founding fathers blood of patriots cold dead hands etc. For those dead thoughts prayers etc, and anyway they should have been somewhere else, no one told them to be there. Maybe they were all "crisis actors" like Fox usually claims; they should change their international marketing slogan to "if you hate America you'll love Fox!" NOTE: the above is sarcasm. Great idea! Won't effect those who could cause it to change, though. At least not at this moment. But yeah, TripAdvisor would be a good place to start it. -
You're talking about the incident in the car, right? That's the important thing? Hijacking the narrative. Do you work at Fox? She gives 2 hours of testimony about the players and their plotting, and all the focus is on the steering wheel sideshow, literally clown-car stuff. Yeah, sure, we're going to be distracted from the criminal activity by this.

Well, the job of the Secret Service agent is to protect the boss against all threats. If it looks like the boss could be sent to jail for something, lying to prevent that from happening would be within the duties of the job, no? The legal equivalent of "taking a bullet"? When this whole sad circus comes to a proper trial, if the DOJ ever gets around to it AND is not compromised from within, you will see a lot of this sort of reasoning. I'm watching the hearings and I can see some of the hiding places that will come into play: Giuliani was drunk the whole time, can't be held responsible; DT was convinced by Bannon, Flynn and whoever else that he can remain president and believed it to be true, therefore can't be held responsible, and so on. You say this can't happen? Sounds like a variation on the Twinkie defense. If it goes up to the Supreme Court, well, by the time it reaches there it could the 2030s and all this election silliness is passe and presidents are elected by state governors. If there is one legal maneuver DT has learned it is playing for time. Back when George W. was president and the White House was being run by Ms Cheney's father, when Congress tried to redress his actions they were told the VP was not part of the Executive Branch. When they approached it as him being a member of Congress (the VP is "president of the Senate") he told them VP is not part of the Legislative Branch. And he got away with it. I'm hoping his daughter, who I assume has inherited some knowledge of how this slipperiness works, puts it to good use. Personally I never thought I would be putting hope in anyone named Cheney. (Have you noticed she has the ability to sneer as she's speaking, just like daddy?)
