And indeed, it's no fun discussing harmful acts. Some posters get slammed pretty hard for doing so.

I try to be respectful of the victims, though it's sometimes a close call.

Mark Twain is one of my heroes. Speaking of which, I see Trump's end as similar to "The Gretest Man in the World" by James Thurber. Available here as a PDF file.

I forgot what happened to "Old Shoe" in "Wag the Dog"

Oh. Now I remember (with a little help from Wikipedia)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_Dog

4th paragraph of the plot section. Rather grisly but appropriate for an adjudicated rapist.

Fiction imitates life. Life imitates fiction.

4. Reminds me of a co-worker who went to the doctor

He told the doctor his symptoms and the doctor prescribed a prescription whose side effects was the same as his symptoms.

True story.

Yeah, the strait of Hormuz was open until Krasnov bombed Iran, and Iran even told Krasnov that it would close Hormuz if attacked.

So, trying to understand; the objective for bombing Iran was to open Hormuz that was already open?

I can't wait to hit every Magat I run into with this act of brilliance.

I say that Idiocracy is a documentary, because both of Mierda's administrations
are actually more idiotic than the movie.
Thus Idiocracy is a Documentary!
