T****'s Thoughts on the War in the Ukraine

Recently a former President of the United States was asked to comment on the Ukrainian War — where will it go? The response focused on ... Windmills!

The video of the interview has been removed by YouTube but, as of right now, you can still watch the relevant excerpt care of The Young Turks.

Well, and I said this a long time ago, if this happens, we are playing right into their hands. Green energy. The windmills. They don't work. They're too expensive. They kill all the birds. They ruin your landscapes. And yet the environmentalists love the windmills. And I've been preaching this for years. The windmills. And I had them way down. But the windmills are the most expensive energy you can have. And they don't work. And by the way, they last a period of 10 years and by the time they start rusting and rotting all over the place, nobody ever takes them down. They just go on to the next piece of prairie or land and destroy that.

He is an 80s two hit wonder and his fans are in awe, thinking his is the greatest band ever.

Now he's an environmentalist.

This guy has significant influence on deciding what gets taught in US public schools. I guess Matty just likes 'em stupid.

 

[Hermit]

What he means is Australia's policies and restrictions during Covid-19, which saved the lives of tens of thousands of people, wouldn't have happened if Australia had guns. Which umm...

Is now a bad time to point out more guns are privately owned in Australia nowadays than were pre-Port Arthur?

Jimmy Higgins is wrong, but you picked the wrong article to make your point. It is a beatup the Sydney Morning Herald should have left to the gutter press.

There is a common misinterpretation that the 1996 legislation was about banning firearms. It was about taking only the types of firearms out of circulation that were suitable for mass killings - semi-automatic and pump action guns.

The firearms increase from 3.2m to 3.6m between 1996 and 2017 represents a rise of 12.5%. In the same period Australia's population grew from 18.3m to 24.6m, that is by 34.4%.

Trust me, I know. And Jimmy is actually right. Madison Cawthorne does actually believe all guns are illegal in Australia. There is zero reason to include nuance to a discussion where someone like him is involved.; it's as futile as punching a tree to death.

Ah, yes of course. I forgot you're a Sydneysider, and did not realise you commented with tongue lodged firmly in cheek. My apologies.

Please show me how I was wrong in interpreting what Cawthorn said.

You're not. I missed the bit I highlighted and apologise for that.

No... it isn't April Fool's Day.

“Many people are asking, so I’ll give it to you now, it is 100% true,” the statement began. He said he was playing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, with pro golfers Ernie Els, Gene Sauers, Ken Duke and Mike Goodes, when “I made a hole-in-one.”

He actually released a statement on it. Typical Trump stuff about really nothing at all and typical contradictions we expect from him. That he released a statement about how he hit a hole-in-one is rather... well... "SAD!"

 

[Keith&Co.]

No, no. Remember, in 2016 he promised he'd be too busy in the Oval Office to golf. Now he's making up for lost time. And it's a challenge to voters. If we don't put him back in office, we'll have to know he's out there, hole-in-one-ing, and getting better at it from practice. We'll never catch up!

Oklahoma GOP U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Markwayne Mullin Tuesday is introducing a resolution to expunge former President Donald Trump's first impeachment – saying Democrats didn't prove "high crimes and misdemeanors."

Mullin's nine-page resolution, if passed by the House, would declare "expunged" Trump's 2019 impeachment over allegedly leveraging U.S. military aid to Ukraine for political favors involving investigations of the Bidens. It accused Democrats of “flippantly exercising one of the gravest and most consequential powers with which the House of Representatives is charged.”

Citing 'perfect call,' GOP congressman introduces measure to expunge Trump's first impeachment

Republicans and Democrats appear to have wildly different definitions of the word “perfect.” For example, to many of us on the left, a “perfect call” was predicting Donald Trump would eventually be impeached for doing something mind-bogglingly oafish,...

So, how will this play in the history books?

Three United States presidents have been impeached, although none were convicted: Andrew Johnson was in 1868, Bill Clinton was in 1998, and Donald Trump once (twice*, in 2019 and) 2021.

*Republicans trying to suck Bonespurs' limp cock have attempted to remove his impeachment, and their complicity, from the official record. It's an entirely symbolic gesture, as the facts are recorded alllllllllllll over the internet. Thus ensuring that even out of office, Trump's administration remains a singular laughingstock in American politics.

Someone here posted this once and I saved it. Question is how to add Impeached twice to the picture.

Needs to be another lonely circle labeled something like "still refuses to believe he's not President anymore."

Fragilego Mussolini still sends out missives from "The Office of Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States." I'd hazard a guess that when new employees of his "office" are going through the onboarding process, they are reminded repeatedly that if "the President" interacts with them, the one word they are forbidden from uttering or writing is "former" and are strongly cautioned against speaking of his Presidency in the past tense.

Well, technically, the proper form of address for any pol is the highest office they achieved, unless they actively fill another one. So, he is correctly addressed as President Bonespurs, while referred to as Former President Fuckface v. Clownstick.
They are not Mr. President, that's just one person, the one who gets the big chair.
It's just, usually, they don't have a tantrum if you mess that up.

 

[Keith&Co.]

So, once more, Trump asked Russia for foreign interference in a US Presidential Election. He wants Putin to get dirt on Hunter Biden.

Can someone explain to me why, if Bonespurs is THE president who has been the toughest on Putin, EVER, why would Putin even want to help him?
Why would Bonespurs expect such help?
Why does Wile E. ask the Roadrunner for help negotiating his outstanding bill at ACME?
