Not sure what pisses me off more - the fact the Trump camp pulls stunts like this; or the fact they think we're too dumb to notice.

It's not so much GOP politicians - tho God knows they're bad enough - it's the fanbase MAGA morons plugged into the same single shared brain cell who are the real culprits. Trump knows they'll ignore everything and let him get away with anything. Which'll continue til he's dead/kicked out of office.

Live televised executions. America now in uncharted depths and needs to be cut loose from rest of the civilised world until it learns how to behave normally.

Fat from the roasting tin + a little flour to make a roux. Then add what ever liquid you fancy. Real stock (pretty easy to batch-prepare/freeze) and/or wine are best. Please no (or at least not often) to stock cubes/gloopy stuff in jars.

I have an insane live Doors version of 'Who Do You Love' on a playlist...but no idea what album it came from. Robbie Krieger was never better. Worth tracking down !

Tennessee should've entrusted Christa PIke's execution to the local ICE chapter. Impromptu killings a speciality + no questions asked. Maybe next time...

Would've thought the "Future of Warfare" was pretty simple: - let the US invade/pillage/destroy any country it wants - ditto Russia/China - let Musk have whatever tech he wants - let Luckey have whatever businesses he wants - turn the armed forces into right-wing militia Think that covers it...

Nicely put. Censoring the spelling of a word - regardless of the context or meaning of that word - achieves nothing but ridicule.

Dear BSky, This is a global forum - yes ? So may I respectfully suggest a new post category - esp for non-US people - in which angst/outrage over Trump & current US political turmoil is banned. It’d be good to discover if normality still exists and discuss what rest of world’s up to right now.
 Tks

Quick heads-up... There's a pet called a 'cat' that uses a 'litter box' to pee and crap. This ensures night after night of deep, uninterrupted, dream-filled sleep for you...and no more cutting short that day trip or romantic dinner to rush home and let the dog out !
