Imagine walking into a McD (or any other place for that matter) decked out in that, looking like that, and not feeling like a total idiot loser.

Mind-boggling.

They probably imagine that they are lean mean steely eyed killers!

And people accuse you and me and various others of being deranged!

It is not just mind-boggling, it is also a sign of a very strange phenomenon! Apart from anything, even allowing for platitudes about "slinging some nice iron", they wouldnt last two minutes against any trained troops! The only risk they pose is to the floorboards!

I have to say that a lot of horns here, particularly on lorries, seem to emit an undignified squawk like a ruptured duck rather than a motor vehicle warning device. I have always rather put that down to them being worn out by overuse, they seem to use them at every opportunity!

They could have stayed behind their keyboards and boasted about their potential warrior activities. But this kind of reveals that their warrior nature is a fantasy.

Imagining a bullseye painted on those big round bellies.

Yes! Not so much a case of "targets will fall when hit" as "targets will wibble and will wobble but not fall down when hit"!

Speaking as someone who is trained, you can dangle a bag of Durban Poison and a Pizza in front of me to provide cover for the keffiyeh wearing, masked, screaming skateboard wielder and he is still catching a burst of M193 before I roll up a doobie and whip the Parmesan out of my pocket.

 

ProTip: When the pathologist puts the sticks in the bullet holes, for self defense determinations, its better to see an upward trajectory than a downward one.

 

 

I would have thought that an upward trajectory would have indicated that the firer was in the prone position, which rather indicated to me that thete was a degree of premeditation.

My training on small arms bullet performance is perforce limited (I was an Artilleryman and therefore accustomed to larger calibres and longer ranges) however some observation has indicated that a 5.56 mm round "tumbles" on entering the body, meaning a small entry wound and a convoluted path through the body, with a very large exit wound, often not in line with the point of entry; which would make the sort of forensic analysis you describe rather inconclusive.

This "president" is such a corrupt, immoral, and disgusting person that he even makes Elon Musk look almost decent in comparison.

 

 

Quite remarkable!

He must have been on a special course! I mean, no one could be such a "nob head" naturally, now could they!

I must confess that I am surprised. I had thought that their relationship would endure, both had something the other craved, money and power. I have posted that a couple of times.

Perhaps I reckoned without their respective egos? Trump may have found another source of cash - the Middle East perhaps?

Still, jolly entertaining. And probably more entertainment to come when both parties inevitably start talking about principles!

Need some armed citizens to protect businesses in that Socialist hellhole

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "I'm dying for a Big Mac" doesn't it!

Maybe not a lot of "dash, down, observe, sights, return fire," though!

What are the women like in Mae Hong Son and Mae Sariang?

Soft and lumpy as far as I recall!

Them toenails need sorting. 

Left foot is done. Right foot is a twisted mess following surgery to cut away infected flesh ( down to the tendons) following stepping on a sharp wire which penetrated deep in between the smaller toes, which have ended up twisted together. Has to be done by the medics, under a local anasthetic. 

Not so much police, as troops armed and equipped (including armoured vehicles) and looking for a fight. Perhaps that is why they were there - looking to start trouble?

Not a particularly good image for the "land of the free"!

Might be in with a chance - has something of the look of a goat about her - certainly bleats a lot!

Aha, @Etaoin Shrdlu, you are being  called out for lying!

Definitely hit a nerve there!

Edited to note:

I see I am a liar as well! I don't know about you, but when the usual suspects resort to accusing me of lying, I take it as a badge of honour!

Maybe we need a new emoji - "speaks with forked tongue"

I've just asked her for her LINE and she said yes. I bought some johnson's baby oil along with my milk.

 

Mark.

That will probably make the bread and milk taste funny!

Nobody knows how high the US deficit truly is, very few remember that Cheney got a resolution passed in 2001 allowing the US to conduct the entire Iraq and Afghan campaigns completely off the books. So there's at least another 4 to 10 trillion dollars in additional debt that doesn't show in the official figures. There's no question that this kind of debt is unsustainable and he's just calling it like he sees it.

 

Trump added 7 trillion during his first term, and it looks like he's determined to add at least 10 trillion during this term. That is what Mr. Debt does. His big ugly spending bill is a disaster. 

Hey, he was only boasting the other day how he came back from his trip to the Gulf States with Trillions of Dollars in cash - no paperwork! Just a few more trips over there and that's the defect squared away! I really don't see what people are so concerned about!

I wonder why it’s been left to the Labour Government to deal with this:

Perhaps because one of the planks on which they campaigned, and were elected to power, was the intention to sort it out.

Of course, their preferred tactics, "smashing the gangs" has proved to be a non starter, but the municipal authorities of Calais are very grateful for the money which has flowed in their direction.

I'm not very clever with money (No! I hear you cry!) but like many I have my UK pension paid into my Thai bank via Citibank. 

Does that mean that I will get a little bit more sponduliks?

How many years/decades/centuries do you think that will take?

I really don't know, but they clearly mean business - the bloke in charge has hung his jacket on the back of his chair and is working in shirtsleeves!
