  1. Here’s what gets me about Newsom’s current Twitter campaign … While most left-wing commenters are praising Herr Gel’s tweets, saying they’re a parody of the things President Trump puts out, they’re hilarious, they’re getting under Conservatives’ skin, they miss one crucial point. I’m pretty sure Donald Trump writes his own tweets. Gavin Newsom has someone writing his for him. Which means Gavin Newsom is NOT smarter than a Fifth Grader, because he can’t even poke fun at President Trump without help writing, a focus group to pick the message and a Twitter account manager to ensure he doesn’t mess things up. It’s a truly sad state of affairs when politics in the USA can be reduced to a Twitter battle of such banality that the media has to hype it up keep Herr Gel’s name in the spotlight, for fear of him drowning in his many scandals.
  2. Keep up 007. That was to power a space laser, not a continent. ☠️
  3. The Appellate Court still chickened out. That the financial penalty would be ruled unconstitutional was an open secret from the moment the judgement was handed down. Yet still they declined to overturn the verdict of fraud, despite the lack of a victim, the absence of any kind of default and the satisfaction of the banks that this was good business all round.
  4. Running in Washington is not allowed, for fear of being hasty. I don’t care how fast things progress, only that they do, in fact, progress to the point of adding lockable jewellery to people’s wrists (and, maybe, ankles) ☠️
  5. 1984 wasn’t a prediction of the future, it was a reflection of the UK in 1948, when it was written. Like it or not, the UK has never had freedom of speech. London has the most CCTV cameras by area outside of Asia. The UK has always been a surveillance state.
  6. And I bet that they will be armed. ☠️ I know I am making some assumptions here, but the hypocrisy is verging on the ridiculous. This Superintendent is most likely all for taking guns away from the ordinary citizen and will almost certainly be against having armed security at the schools for which she is responsible, yet avows that she needs security herself. If she did her job in a competent manner and represented the teachers, children and parents, then she would have no need for personal security. But she is earning 7x the average teachers’ wages and, by implication, is doing such an awesome job that she feels threatened by the very people she is supposed to represent. She needs to go and go now. Her and her bodyguard’s salaries could employ 9 more teachers, or raise a bunch of existing teachers’ salaries to something a little better.
  7. What I fail to comprehend is how any sane and rational person could ever describe the allegations against Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et al as a “distraction” from the Epstein controversy. 🤷🏽 Since when did credible allegations of high treason and seditious conspiracy rate as less important than the remote possibility of maybe a sex scandal? If it were more than a remote possibility, it would have come out in the 2024 election cycle. And threats of a second American Civil War, if Obama is arrested, make me concerned for the future. More than any SCOTUS rulings, Executive Orders, or Congressional Bills, the excusing of a prominent political figure accused of treason, if that’s how this pans out, on ANY GROUNDS, be it their political party, skin color, religion, or that they support the Yankees, is so far removed from the ideal of this Constitutional Republic as to render it dead. ☠️
  8. To quote Star Trek: The Next Generation… Resistance Is Futile ☠️

  10. The big turbofans generally aren’t that loud Have to understand when the bang occurred. I took it to meant first impact with something on the ground.
  11. This was news late summer last year. Pretty sure it’s in a thread somewhere. 🥸

  13. Would it be digenous, or outdigenous? What about bidigenous, pandigenous or transdigenous? We want equal representation, regardless of digenosity!!! ☠️
  14. Where I’m sitting now it’s snowing … again ❄️
  15. So, they thought twice about it? That’s thread times more than Joe did. ☠️
  16. One has to earn sufficient disposable income before one has the luxury of worrying about the zenith and nadir of the stock market. And this one don’t ☠️
