  1. Aren't we fortunate to have someone like him (her?) to tell us the truth?
  2. Sicily, where the brain surgeons have to use jackhammers when they operate because the skulls are so thick. (A little intra-ethnic humor there). There are places in that part of the Mediterranean that haven't caught up to the 20th century yet. E.g. I met a Brit woman who went solo to Lampedusa recently and she said she constantly had women asking her "where is your husband?" With the exception of the larger cities like Athens, I would suspect in the rural regions the attitudes toward modern gender lifestyles are not what you would appreciate. And you really don't want get involved in a conversation about who killed JC. IMO your Turkey idea was better. For entertainment you might want to check out the US TV series "Law&Order: Organized Crime" a few seasons back when they took on the Albanian mob; it was the first time I appreciated Meloni's acting, and Lolita Davidovich plays an Albanian madam -- she nails it.
  3. Might also want to consider he's prepping for 2028 when his daughter will be running against Kamala. Any words regarding his love of country qualifies as pure Wyoming horse manure. The truth about this guy won't be revealed until most of us in this forum will be long gone. And every potential biographer knows better than to take him/his on.
  4. I interpreted that (you mean the TV interview with Dana Bash on Sept. 15, right?) as him griping that he puts a lot of hard work into coming up with these cockamamie stories, and that she should show some respect for that. I developed an appreciation for Bash when, after DT's first debate with Biden in 2020 the first thing out of her mouth when the debate ended was "that was a sh_t show." Oh those Jersey girls! There is another highly ridiculous aspect to this thing about applauding Ivy League graduates. The conservative media will go on into perpetuity about how US universities are incubators for the left, communist, Marxist (enter flavors of the day here), while at the same time lauding their members who have degrees from such institutions (Ted Cruz, Hawley, JD, and lots more) who they brand as scholars and true US conservatives, even as they come out with the dumbest statements to support their current deity. Also in recent years the right-wing has been denouncing education, part of their dumbing-down strategy, and looking at the MAGA numbers it seems to be working.
  5. The real danger Fox offers is what they DO NOT SHOW. They do not show the MAGA crowd breaking windows, running through the Capitol building, that clown at Pelosi's desk; when they sort of covered the January 6 hearings they blurred out the screen in the House chamber showing the assault. They may not cover anything scandalous regarding GOP/MAGA, I get the impression they didn't report the Boebert stick-shift incident. The reason DT flipped about Fox a few days ago is they said something unfavorable about him, and he can't handle that.
  6. Has LOS been annexed by the U.S. ? All this gun stuff . . .
  7. Eric Idle says that back when they were filming (taping) Monty Python at BBC studios, everyone was telling everyone else to keep away from Jimmy Seville, and don't ask why; he said because JS had the biggest show on BBC it made him untouchable. Seville was fortunate in that all was not revealed after his death. Unlike Bill Cosby, for instance. Sometimes your longevity does not work in your favor.
  8. Maybe a lot in here missed this, but there was an amusing encounter with this guy at a US Senate hearing not too long ago. Just look up senator markwayne mullin teamsters
  9. Her husband is having a homosexual affair with the guy who runs N. Korea, he has declared it publicly. No shame in that. As for Mel, she has to deal with the insult that her husband would rather see a naked fat man than look at her. Best move for her would be to get some solid lawyers on retainer, otherwise his two eldest sons will cheat her out of her inheritance; it seems to be the way things are done in that family, just ask Mary Trump. For those who know how to read: FROM THE WHORE HOUSE TO THE WHITE HOUSE The True Story of Melania Trump First Edition Copyright © Runge Enterprises, Inc. 2016 ISBN: 978-1530674701
  10. I can just see her husband helping promote the book. "Hey fellas, great boobs on her, eh? They better be great, they cost me enough!"
  11. Oops! Those are both terms DT has used. You seem to have trouble telling them apart, so just remember Harris is the one with the dark hair.
  12. I wasn't paying attention to this event, but when watching them on the TV news tightening the bolts on that thing, knowing that the only way out would be via the same equipment, it dawned on me just how crazy this idea is. Then there was that guy and his son who were happy when someone cancelled out and they took their place. The Appointment in Samarra, As retold by W. Somerset Maugham [1933] The Speaker is Death There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating getsture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.
  13. Well, maybe to YOU there was no audience! Fake news! If DT says the audience went wild then that is what happened, and no one left early. The size of the crowd that came out for him was much much bigger than the ones for Harris. Why would he lie? Tomorrow's headline today: DT says people are leaving early because they are worried about their pets being eaten.
  14. Putin knows DT can be easily manipulated. IMO the contrast between the expressions on either face when they emerged from that room in Helsinki says all there is to know about his ability to handle authoritarians. I'm waiting for the LBGTQ+ rights groups to recognize and applaud DT for coming out about his affair with Kim, his N. Korean lover. But which one is the top?
  15. Well, there you have it: Fox is now officially fake news! If they report negatively about DT they are fake news, no discussion involved.
  16. Obviously, it was God's will! Stick with loudspeakers on minarets.
  17. If you meet an American who tells you they are pro-life ask them how they feel about capital punishment. Prepare to hear self-contradiction.
  18. His very real problem at this moment, which it looks like he got a taste of already, are his brother inmates who will take turns taking the Big Man down. The old "crabs in a barrel" mentality.
  19. Long ago I heard Arafat preaching the economy of scale of their genocide; this was direct from his mouth on a television interview: we blow up a school bus and kill 40 Jewish children today -- twenty years on each of those would be an adult and producing at least 2 more Jews, so in affect we are killing 120 of them. This was in the 1960s or '70s. After hearing such logic I decided anything goes in combating this kind of thinking and its actions. BY ANYONE.
  20. He hires all these sex-professionals and he's still flogging his own mule? And to think how rich this guy was, he could have bought his own island. Instead he had to play out the badazz pimp thing. Lock him up and he'll find Jesus (he's Catholic).
  21. Your kids will have to start their own fights.
  22. My German gf long ago tried to teach me German language, and in the lessons was a little poem for basic learning. It was something about geese being stolen, she said she remembers it from her own school days. I'm wondering if that was the inspiration this piece of news. Lots of Germans in that part of the US, y'know.
  23. Ok, that's it, I'm convinced. There is no way I'm going to vote for Willy Brown in November.
  24. Note to the rest of the world: Don't be afraid of all the guns in the US, the people who have them are obviously incapable of shooting straight.
