  1. A question for those who insist the 90 day report must be done by the end of every 90 day period, regardless of whether you have left the country and returned in the meantime. What would you do if you were out of the country when your 90 day report came due? Since there seems to be no connection between the online system and actual border immigration control, it's likely the reminder email would still be sent. Would you still report online and continue 90 days after that once returning? If not, (which I assume would be the case, as it would be somewhat ridiculous to report that you have spent 90 days in the country when you aren't actually in the country - but then again, it seems somewhat ridiculous to report that you have spent 90 days in the country when you weren't in the country over some of that period), then how would you reconcile the gap in your 90 day reporting? When would you do your next one? 90 days after your arrival date?
  2. Not regular Fox contributor Alan Dershowitz? Not the Alan Dershowitz who "was a member of Harvey Weinstein's defense team in 2018 and of President Donald Trump's defense team in his first impeachment trial in 2020. He was a member of Jeffrey Epstein's defense team and helped to negotiate a 2006 non-prosecution agreement on Epstein's behalf." Alan Dershowitz - Wikipedia Now, not only are people denying they're Trump supporters, they are also denying that members of Trump's former legal team are Trump supporters. Someone should have warned him. (By the way, That's fine company Trump is in).
  3. I've never seen that safe before! Well, maybe I met it once or twice. But I never liked it! Believe me, I know safes, I only buy the best safes, and that is the worst safe I've ever met!
  4. You can bet that they won't have received any news about how the war is going either, so probably believe that they will simply be marching in triumph to Kyiv and beyond. The Ukrainians should be getting ready to receive multiple defections from the Russian side. Indeed, should be encouraging them with broadcasts. Make a few in Korean too, should the story about 100,000 North Korean "volunteers" prove to be true. "Come to the West, brothers. Freedom, a pair of Levi's, and a can of Coca-Cola for every one who joins us".
  5. This thread needs to be archived and written up as a case study in a psychiatric journal. The level of "what-aboutery" and obfuscation displayed is classic denial behaviour. We've had: "But, but, Biden" (both Hunter and Joe). "I'm not a Trump supporter but... (followed by support for Trump). "This will be great for Trump in the next election! Ha, ha, ha (but those are not tears of laughter we detect). "The boss of the FBI, who was a Biden appointee should be investigated! No, not that boss, the other one! Which one? Whichever one was appointed by Biden!" "This (fact that shows that the rule of law still exists in America, or at least is making a comeback after being crushed by the Trump Presidency, by pointing out that no one is above the law) will only make other countries think that America is a banana republic". "This sets a bad precedent!" (No, but it may convict a bad president). Not one post from the Trump supporters, whether open or not so open about that status, discussing what could be in the papers that were taken away, or whether he was wrong to be in possession of classified material - which can't be denied because they already retrieved such material from him back in February, when he'd already left the Whitehouse. Just what-abouts, denials, and but, but, buts. And that's why it will be extremely difficult to bridge this divide.
  6. Or, internet lunatics exposed by internet analytics.
  7. One day, two deputies in the Sheriff’s Office answered an emergency call at a farmhouse. When they walked in, they found the nude bodies of a man and a woman in the bedroom. They had been shot to death. When they went to the living room, they found the body of a man with a gun at his side. “No doubt about it,” one deputy said to the other. “This was a double murder and suicide. This guy came home, found his wife in bed with somebody else, and shot them both. Then he shot himself.” “You’re right,” the other deputy replied. “Double murder and suicide. But I’ll bet you when the sheriff gets here he’s going to say ‘it could have been worse.” “No way. How could it be worse? There are three people in the house, and all of them have been shot to death. It couldn’t be worse. You’re on.” About that time, the old sheriff arrived at the scene. He walked into the bedroom and saw the two nude bodies. He then walked into the living room and saw the man on the floor with the gun by his side. “No doubt about it,” the sheriff said, shaking his head. “It was a double murder and suicide. This guy came home, found his wife in bed with somebody else, and shot them both. Then he shot himself.” After hesitating for a moment, the old sheriff looked his deputies squarely in the eyes. “But, you know,” he said, “it could have been worse.” The deputy who had lost the bet jumped up and shouted, “Sheriff, how could it have been worse? There are three people in this farmhouse, and all three of them are dead. It couldn’t have been worse??” “Yes it could,” the sheriff retorted. “You see that guy there on the floor? If he had come home yesterday, that would be me in that bed!”
  8. To try and keep up with this fast paced world, I bought a microwave fireplace. Now I can relax all night long, in just 8 minutes.
  9. I got a text from my boss. "Send me one of your funny jokes", it said. "I can't, I'm working" I texted back. He replied "that was fantastic, send me another".
  10. Just been offered a job as a Noise Pollution Officer... But I had to turn it down.
  11. A Tasmanian girl goes to the chemist and asks for a pack of condoms, "You won't need them. " said the pharmacist, "your dad came in and got a packet earlier."
  12. BBC cancels weather forecast broadcasts for the next 48 hours! As temperatures are below average for the time of year and significant rain fell in parts of the UK last night, normal service will be resumed when levels of hysteria can be raised once again.
  13. My tutor has accused me of plagiarism. Her words, not mine.
  14. A bakery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man enters the store, glances at the clerk and at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Noticing her short skirt, and the location of the raisin bread, he has a brilliant idea. “I’d like some raisin bread please,” the man says. The clerk nods and climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread located on the very top shelf. The man standing almost directly beneath her, is provided with an excellent view, just as he thought. When she descends the ladder, he decides that he had better get two loaves, as he is “having company for dinner.” As the clerk retrieves the second loaf of bread, one of the other male customers notices what’s going on and requests his own loaf of raisin bread. After many trips, she is tired, irritated and begins to wonder “why the unusual interest in the raisin bread?” Atop the ladder one more time, she looks down and glares at the men standing below. Then, she notices an elderly man standing amongst the crowd. Thinking that she can save herself a trip, she yells at the elderly man, Is it raisin for you too?” “No,” stammers the old man, “but it’s quivering a little.”
  15. August 8th is becoming an unlucky day for presidential crooks. Nixon resigned August 8th 1974, Trump gets raided by the FBI August 8th 2022. They should declare it a public holiday.
  16. Any time a crook is further exposed counts as a win to me.
  17. Drain that swamp. I'll never get tired of all this winning.
  18. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the "Made in the USA" labels were themselves made in China.
  19. That's just one trait of the far right. They try to project their own crimes onto the "lefties" (which they consider even moderate right wingers to be). Listening to their accusations is akin to listening to their confessions.
  20. It speaks volumes that we don't know which ongoing investigation of the former president this warrant was issued for.
