So, the “I was only following orders” excuse. Puhleeze. 🙄

One of these days a long range missile is going to make it here. Thanks republicans & lazy americans.

“Israel forced to bomb Nice, France because the holocaust happened 81 years ago & Nice is a nice place.”

Pay attention to the verbs. Pay attention to who gets named. Pay attention to who “says” and who “did.”

That’s how perception is shaped - not with blatant lies, but with careful framing.

Good ole Ruth. 😂 (via Six Feet Under.)

At east two Qullahs (160.5 Liters) of bourbon per ruz (or day in Farsi).

I know what an idiot is and Nancy is one. Did she pull the survivor skit again too?

He’s an arse. I’m watching.

Also Youtube ads. I feel the urge to literally strangle the people (A.I. or otherwise) in them.

Trump can shove a pile of patatas bravas up his saggy old arse.

My friend packed up and moved to Valencia last year with his young daughters. Smart move.

I’d never even heard of the rapture until the evangelicals started getting attention. They’re going to be very disappointed.

From a 14 month sojourn in India a bit ago. Treated my friends to a few days at a resort (that’s them in the towels hehe. Me in last pic.) Good days. Tamil Nadu, Bay of Bengal. How I long for the food and South Indian breakfasts. #india #southindia

It’s been painful to be here for years.

Even more so knowing my family was first in Quebec in the 1790s prior to foolishly emigrating from there down to the States in the early 1800s. Big mistake.

The military is doing zip to fight the despots in office violating The Constitution daily so …
