  1. Why? What point does taking away the effort to unwrap a cheese slice actually achieve? It’s like e-bikes. They still have pedals, but everyone knows the riders are just too lazy to use them all the time. They just want to be lazy and not put in the effort. They’re taking the easy way out. Where is the challenge? Where is the sense of achievement for having unwrapped the cheese slice? It’s gone now. You no longer need to earn that cheesy reward. America is truly going to hell in a hand basket 🤬
  2. Someone needs to grow a spine and eradicate this man’s legacy, destroy his reputation and eliminate his bank account, all of which are founded on his deceit and other people’s misery. I’m no lawyer, but, given the litigious nature of the USA, there must be a legal avenue to exact reparations from this evil little gnome 😒
  3. I say go for it. If they bring the chaos, I’ll bring the popcorn! 😎
  4. Lithium Ion batteries are a dead end. Solid state shows promise and looks to be a safer option. https://ts2.space/en/nasas-solid-state-battery-breakthrough-unlocking-the-future-of-electric-flight-and-air-mobility/
  5. When you reach rock bottom, stop digging. Do not break out the hammer drill and for $&@#’s sake, do not reach for the high explosives 🤦‍♂️
  6. This is one Babylonbee piece I hope remains satire 🙄
  7. Finally the admission that this is a partisan political prosecution. All they need now is to find 12 Democrats to sit on the jury and they might somehow avoid an acquittal.
  8. I wouldn’t be surprised if she recommended extending the bathroom out, rather than taking out a row of seats. 🤣
  9. It doesn’t go anywhere near far enough 😞 And deleting the browse history on the presidential computer? Why? What’s on there must be comedy gold! 🤣
  10. But Paddington moved from deepest darkest Peru to England. Something about marmalade and an appointment with the Queen
  11. “Tragically, the consequences may require potential amputation of their hands”
  12. Now that is not a bad idea at all. It’s not like they’re being withdrawn for fatigue life reasons, the USAF brass just want more F-35 Thunderpigs. And the Warthog can take abuse even a naval aviator can only dream about dishing out. And that gun …
  13. The problem isn’t in the aerial capabilities of the F-16. They will easily outperform the junk the Ukrainian Air Forces are currently using. The problem is the airfields. Soviet/Russian aircraft are designed to be robust, because the airfields are usually a little (lot) on the rough side. You do not want to be landing a Viper on anything other than a smooth surface. The landing gear will not cope with that kind of abuse. A better bet would be the F-18 Hornet, which has way sturdier landing gear for carrier landings/naval aviator abuse. However, their availability is limited and, despite what Top Gun Maverick would have you believe, they’re not as good in air-to-air as the F-16.
  14. Great. You want to create more jobs for accountants. 🙁 Did you do know there are three types of accountants? Those that can count and those that can’t.
  15. He can demand all he wants. NATO will fast track Ukraine’s membership only once the conflict in Ukraine is over. NATO’s primary purpose is intended as a deterrent. Inducting a new member embroiled in an active conflict is tantamount to declaring war on their opposition and that is something NATO is not about to do.
  16. Looking at this from a purely political point of view, I believe the current administration and the Democrat part as a whole will not have a problem letting this case slide until after the election. Delay gives them a ready-made talking point through the 2024 election cycle, should DJT be the GOP nominee, and, should he regain the White House, his next term’s Russigate hoax substitute. The downside to this strategy is that it is glaringly obvious and will lead to more criticism of the DOJ as a partisan, politicized arm of the current administration. But there is so much of this going on already, I really doubt they will give a Flying Burrito Brother about the optics.
  17. Carry on was 50’s into the 70’s, with the main run ending in 1978. There was an additional one made in 1992, but we don’t mention that one
  18. What can I say? I was brought up watching the Carry On … movies 😁
  19. What it is the country famous for a little boy sticking his finger in a dike 😙
  20. All of which has absolutely nothing to do with an attorney at the DOJ purposely redacting all references to DJT cooperating with Grand Jury sublpoenas. They had to know that the truth would come out at some point, so why was it done? To obfuscate what actually happened, increase the public perception of wrongdoing and nothing else. The non-cooperation/obstruction was big news when the DOJ’s games began. It gave the semblance of justification for the heavy-handed raid on Mar-a-Lago. If they had been honest, the likelihood is that there would have been far more criticism of the whole operation. But now, the damage has been done and the repercussions will be muted. Job done for the DOJ’s partisans. Which begs this question. Is it still the Department of Justice. Or should we rename it the Department of Convict President Trump At All Costs?
