Bum gun or paper, ya figure?

Rwanda's looking better and better. Or maybe they can work a deal with El Salvador.

Nobody's denying that the climate is changing, just like it has for 4 billion years. Long before humans and 454 Chevy engines. And it will continue to change even after the zombie apocalypse. I'm just not a keen fan of taking money out of my pocket and putting it into someone else's pocket to prevent a natural phenomenon.

Please, please tell me "last name Fudd..."

That's good news and good to know. But not if I'm then going to have to wait an hour in the customs queue where they're going through suitcases looking for stuff like dried meat. That's where I always got hung up in LAX, IAH, Seattle, etc. Breezed through the IO and got the "Welcome home, sir". Then onto the hourlong customs queue. (Edit: Though, in fairness, it wasn't always that long, but often enough... Also, I've never had my bags searched unless I actually declared something. But I'm amazed at how many Asians try to sneak in food.) Has that gotten any better? I've only flown out of the USA post Covid. Not back in yet.

I always love pulling out this one. From WaPo, no less: I don't think they even realize how stupid they are to claim it's a warning of the consequences of human caused warming.

To protect him from false and frivolous charges leveled by deranged MAGA morons. There are people trying to kill him because of fabricated GQP lies. Do you have any idea how dystopian it is to pre-emptively pardon people who may be committing crimes on behalf of the guy who's pardoning them? By that same logic, Trump could encourage someone to assassinate all Dem senators, then pardon the assassin.

It's easy enough to avoid the troll threads. The ones that bother me are when posters ask legitimate questions and get a wide variety of conflicting answers, with those only being interspersed between the petty flame wars.

Many Americans are witnessing immigration arrests for the first time and reacting I guess they slept through the Clinton, Obama and Biden administrations when literally millions were arrested and deported. But the MSM only reports it on the front page when it's under the Bad Orange Man. Or maybe they treat it like sausages. They're great as long as we don't have to watch them being made.

It's times like this that show us why it's best not to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to buy votes.

2 different stories. These seem to be 9mm ammo, not pellets.

Pala Pizza. Basciola (sp?). Got it to go and ate it in the room. MRT Sukhumvit, just outside the exit to BTS Asoke. Shameless plug, I know. But great pizza.

How was it biased?

Years ago I bought a couple of air rifles from a kiosk in Chinatown. Wide open, light of day. When I found out that metallic projectiles are illegal, I gave them to a Thai friend that had some pests he wanted to eliminate. He never told me what he did with them and I didn't want to know. I kept my airsoft pistols that shot plastic pellets until I left Thailand, then gave them to another friend because I didn't want them in my luggage or shipped goods. Airguns... Okay. Metal projectiles... Illegal. But do your own research. Don't trust interweb advice.

I actually have some sympathy for the ones that believed the Dems and paid the cartels $10K to sneak them in. They'll never see that money again. Unless... I hope the ambulance chasers set up class action lawsuits to sue the DNC to make them whole. They can do late night commercials on Mexican and S. American TV: Were you or a loved one harmed by DNC lies? You may be entitled to reimbursement of the muleage fees that you paid to get into the USA. Contact Dewey, Cheetum & Howe today... Edit: Sadly, somehow the US taxpayers would end up forking over the reparations and not the DNC who should.

But just the ones that won the genetic lottery like she did. Not the plain Janes... The other 90%.

Sure. Send in the social workers to face the rock and brick throwers. Not a good plan.

Putin has just shown Zelensky that he can obliterate Ukraine, but he's been holding back because that's not his goal. He already has what he set out to do. It's time for the dying to stop and the rebuilding to begin. Long past time. If Zelensky keeps sniping around the edges, he'll force Putin to take more of Ukraine.

Nice rack.

Just to be clear, is she a dude?

I think they were hoping to buy one and get four free. And a discount on the one.

Zero percent chance of scoring a "free" Big Screen or designer sneakers at the Trump parade. Significant chance up the road...

Gotta wonder what they're being inspected for?

Out of curiosity, are there any signs indicating "No Driving Allowed on the Beach"? And was it a 4x2 or a 4x4 Jeep? The girlie looking Wrangler doesn't appear to have lockout hubs. But I don't think that's the subject vehicle? Some of the OP attachments aren't downloading here...

It was on the day. But it's one of those timeless family stories we still laugh at, even 6 decades later. I couldn't eat vanilla ice cream for years after that. Or canned corn.
