In 2004, George W Bush had a box visible under his suit jacket. The Bush administration denied what we could see with our own eyes, and the media dismissed our observations as a "conspiracy theory". This was supposedly a 'pucker' of cloth. In a shape I've never seen before.
From 2004, George W. Bush's back at the debate with a noticeable bump  in the fabric.

Blocking this guy. He says people have "TDS" and that makes us "easy to control". Posted the "they wouldn't even thank him if he cured cancer!" nonsense. I called him out, pointing out that this was how his side responded to COVID. His response?
Post 1: I encourage Rick to try again, this time with reading comprehension.

Post 2: Huh?  Methinks Rick completely missed the point.  Maybe try re-reading, Rick. Work on your reading comprehension.

Original Poetry
Ozymandias
I MET a Traveller from an antique land,
Who said, "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert.  Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heard that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is OZYMANDIAS, King of Kings."
Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair!
No thing beside remains.  Round the decay
Of that Colossal Wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Glirastes

And the media play along. From CNN's homepage this morning. Note that it implicilty says that DHS can "allow" its own agents to do things, regardless of what the Constitution says.

I don't think Weaver can be used again. Note also that MLB instituted a "3-batter minimum" rule for relievers to "speed up games". At the time I noted that forcing a team to continue to use a hapless reliever doesn't speed up anything.

Two things: a) the spacing isn't right for that to be one word b) "weisse people" just doesn't make sense. Mixing English and German? Unless this is one of those "tee-hee, look how clever we are" things they do like using the OK sign.

I think it's safe to say Tesla's value as a stock is entirely dependent on Musk's personal relationship with Trump.
Tesla's stock price history over past five years.  Notable peaks at end of 2021 and end of 2024/beginning of 2025. Current price is $350.84 as of Sep. 5, 2025.

What a shithead. I ask him what his plan is to fight Trumpism and his response is to avoid the question and pretend that being a lawyer implies that we should bow down to his expertise. I point out this is nothing more than a non-responsive ad hominem and he blocks me.
