The lesson is that the Lib Dems got 71 Seats with 3.5 million votes. That was targeting. Reform UK got 4 Seats with 4.1 million votes. That's not an organization. That was a rudderless mob of twats. And with Nigel in charge, what can he possibly accomplish? Sinn Fein got 7 Seats with 210,000!

I see that the UK is under New Management! Not that we here in the States have any right to think that is funny. Your system worked yesterday and the peaceful transition of power was accomplished. Our system is under serious threat and the fuckwits in Colorado Springs appear to have the upper hand

I'm old enough to remember when Rummy was expounding on Iraq after 9/11 when things started to go pear-shaped: "Well, there are Known Knowns, and Known Unknowns, and Unknown Unknowns." Roberts seemed to be echoing that when he started babbling about Official Acts and Maybe Official Acts. /1

The shot/chaser is that since the limits have not been defined, any action taken by the sitting Prez is assumed to be legal until judicial review has been completed. It's a blank slate of criming.

In November, either Biden or Trump will win. A vote for any other Third Party candidate is a de facto vote for Trump. Full stop. If you do it, fine, but accept your responsibility in your support for the fascist felonious fucknugget.

Well it's 1-1 at the half, and on 17 minutes, the US forward Tim Weah, a couple of minutes after the US goalie went ass-over-teakettle in a collision with a Panamanian forward (no foul), got into a push and slap contest with a Panama defender, had a sudden rush of shit to the brain and got a

Sure it does, but they kind of fucked the dog when they attacked Israel first. Once they did that, they had to know that Israel would retaliate. And they did. Did Israel overreact? Of course they did. Did that overreaction meet the definition of Genocide? I don't know, and neither do you.

Hells yes. The English dumped their riffraff into the Southern Colonies until they lost the US. Then they pivoted and dumped their riffraff into Australia, with predictable results.

Well, the Ticos held Brasil at 0-0 at the Copa. We are not forecast to hit 100º this week. Too humid. This means we will suffer with "feels like" highs around 108 to 110. Fuck My Life.

I'm going to buy the book, that's given. (You seem to have a knack for this writing thing that I find fascinating and absolutely compelling) How long did you put into this writing this particular Thing? Not contract to publishing date, that tells us nothing, but pen to paper and final submission?
