  1. A legit question for LE to ask him: why do you have so many guns, sir? On the street/road: "Why are you carrying a gun, sir?" "I'm exercising my 2nd Amendment rights." "And why are you doing so on this particular day?" "ummmmm . . . ." On the lighter side, in the movie "Richard Jewel" a guy was asked why he owned so many guns, he said "I'm from Georgia." (US)
  2. No he doesn't, it's the US president who does. 555
  3. Well, they are! It takes a real man to kick a guy in the face when he's knocked down. But really, we don't know what happened beforehand, maybe the bashed-up guy was going full Mel Gibson on him. Alcohol doesn't always make people happy.
  4. Snapped this in an Indonesia supermarket, sent it out to friends with the question ". . . and how many brands of MSG does your local market have?"
  5. Ted's been quiet for a while, and he's suddenly become visible again in the past few weeks. Think of it this way: the 2028 campaign is only 16 months away.
  6. Wouldn't it be ironic if the International Criminal Court nabbed DT and his droogs and the prosecutor is Jack Smith? It is always a laugh when a lunatic is running around denouncing everyone else as deranged. "No puppet, no puppet, YOU are the puppet!" That was her chance to go in for the kill, and she blew it.
  7. Ban high-fructose corn syrup. Everywhere. In Mexico the Coca-Cola does not have the stuff, still uses sugar.
  8. "I whine until I win" he explained during the 2016 campaign. He lies like a rug, and gets mad when people don't believe him. After all these years he's still not good at it. Unfortunately plenty of people on this planet are like that, like my landlord.
  9. I didn't pay much attention to it so can't provide details, but a few years back there was some off stuff to do with the King Power's airport business, and it supposedly had something to do with the then former-PM in exile at the time.
  10. That gal on F Troop with the real tight jeans, man, seeing her getting on and off that horse was very influential on my adolescence. I couldn't help but noticing it was always shot from a good angle, so I guess I'm not the only one to notice. Mom & Dad had no idea. A reporter once asked Dolly's sister, who had just released her first record, if she hoped to fill her sister's shoes. "It's not her shoes I want to fill" she said.
  11. It's a threat to Jolene, she never got over that. 555
  12. So is this Board of Peace supposed to be the new Axis? Look up who he has invited so far, we're back to the "all the best people" con. What's the goal, what's in it for him? Oh wait, I found it: "It is not known whether any have agreed to donate $1 billion for permanent membership." https://www.nbcnews.com/world/europe/trump-board-of-peace-countries-davos-cost-nato-what-know-rcna255433
  13. IMO his whole thing about Greenland is borne of Putin. In the Cold War novel "Hunt for Red October" the author does a good job of explaining how important the North Pole waterways are (strategically) for Russia/USSR. (It's a good suspenseful read as well.) I recall reading an article (maybe 20 years ago?) that Russia had built a fleet of ice-breaking ships for maintaining the strategic routes. Something that stuck out in that speech/screed is that he did not stumble on referring to the USSR as Russia. I suspect a certain former KGB operative schooled him on that.
  14. He's afraid to go north of 125th Street in NYC because that is Blackland. I know somebody who was in the US military during the Cold War years, stationed in Greenland. He said "the thing to remember is that Greenland is ice, and Iceland is green. US$700 for sunglasses. Elite? Who? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-23/macron-s-davos-shades-crash-italian-maker-s-site-boost-shares
  15. Barking mad, for the whole world to see. Long may it wave.
  16. You mean there are people who are actually taking this seriously?
  17. Looking for a man dressed as a woman. In Pattaya. How difficult can that be? I'm sure there are plenty of AN members eager to volunteer as genital inspectors.
  18. I agree with the wooden thing, suspected all along that him and his buddy Matt's real talent is on the casting couch. I saw "Pearl Harbor" when it came out, better off with "From Here to Eternity" (the movie that sold billions of tubes of friction ointment ). Couldn't help noticing that they tried to make Ben look like the lead actress, and vice versa. I suspected the director was going for some kind of Freudian thing about narcissism, or was it gender-bending.
  19. Well ho-ho-ho, looks like Santa left something for you in my browser: IMDb"The Twilight Zone" He's Alive (TV Episode 1963) ⭐ 7.6 |...51m | TV-PGEnjoy. 60+ years ago people would say "it can't happen here."
  20. In the US it used to be that there was a US$100 tax on an ounce of cannabis (probably established in the 1930s, when $100 was a lot of money), and at the same time possession of the stuff was illegal. A high-profile individual in the late 1960s rose to the challenge and sent the US gov't $100 for such. Of course they then busted him and sent him to prison. The guy was Timothy Leary.
  21. Can someone keep a tally of how many threads DO NOT get diverted into something regarding gender transitioning? What's with you guys? When you go to sleep do you worry that you'll wake up with a different set of genitals? This is an obsession.
  22. He brings his A-game for Spike. It is a real NYC movie. But a real cop would have fenced the gem ;^) There seems to be a problem these days where sometimes (that's sometimes) the movie is lousy but the performance is good. I liked Roman Israel Esq, his modern-day character is trying to come off like a late 1960s activist, and I remember those days; rest of it unimpressive IMO. Two other blah movies with impressive performances are Meryl Streep in "Ricky and the Flash" and Sandra Bullock in "All About Steve" -- both of these movies seem to run out steam about 2/3 of the way through.
  23. Where are the cost-obsessed Republicans on this? Absolutely no mention of the waste of taxpayer dollars, which would be their primary focus on this announcement if the Dems were behind it. The US is a poor country that cannot provide health care to it's citizens, and the danger is that it's wealthiest people (and the foreigners who buy their American privilege (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-gold-card-creates-interest-decisions-for-foreign-nationals/ar-AA1TBFN6) ) may become slightly less wealthy. Big win for the SpaceX guy who is smart enough to not ride one of his own rockets. MAGA, baby!
