look you gotta say the date biggest to smallest. that way it’s impervious to nationalist math confusion.

if i did it wrong then we’ll just rewrite the rules in my favor

yeah but trump has his little nose in the ground. if he secures rights to mining in Ukraine, he can farm that out as deals and favors. trump is transactional.

i bet their plan is to go into places already ravaged by the war, look for valuable mining opportunities, if not, trump branded fuckin cesspools. they don’t even care if there ARE valuable mining deposits.

i need something to bring my blood pressure down. i am flushed with anger. make your own mirror of this if you download yt-dlp run from command line

“this is gonna be great television, i’ll tell you that” - Donald Trump, 025/28/2, he tried to bully Ukrainian president Zelenskyy on live tv

edit should be noted the minerals in ukraine are presumed, theoretical, just what little i know, but this “deal” would allow more U.S. corruption and private interests to head over and start raping the land, looking for a jackpot.

The aesthetics were so frosty plastic, impossible to forget. The cool pizza huts had an entire room for the arcade cabinet games

Cue pizza house marketing reboot/revert in 3

Y’all remember that pizza was awful right?

Garfield was a documentary comic strip!

Gustavo Petro’s statement, worth a read:

Trump, I don’t like traveling to the U.S. much, it’s a bit boring, but I confess there are worthy things. I like to go to the Black neighborhoods of Washington. There, I saw a whole fight in the capital of the U.S. between Blacks and Latinos, with barricades, which seemed to me like nonsense, because they should unite.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, Noam Chomsky, and Miller.

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the U.S., are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered for being labor leaders with the electric chair by the fascists who are inside the U.S. just as they are in my country.

I don’t like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species with greed. Maybe one day, along with a drink of whisky—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this, but it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not, nor is any Colombian.

So if you are looking for a stubborn person, that’s me, period. You can try to stage a coup with your economic power and arrogance, like you did with Allende. But I will die by my law, I withstood torture, and I resist you. I don’t want slave owners on Colombia’s side, we already had many and we freed ourselves. Who I want to be on Colombia’s side are lovers of freedom. If you can’t join me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world, and you didn’t understand it. This is the land of the yellow butterflies, the beauty of Remedios, but also of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, one of whom I am, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which came before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom.

You don’t like our freedom, fine. I do not shake hands with white slave owners. I shake the hands of libertarian whites, heirs of Lincoln, and of the Black and white rural boys from the U.S., in front of whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking through the mountains of Tuscany and after saving myself from COVID.

They are the US, and before them, I kneel, before no one else.

Overthrow me president, and the Americas and humanity will respond.

Colombia, now stop looking to the north, look to the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization of that time, from the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood carries the resistant Black people who were turned into slaves by you. In Colombia lies the first free territory of the Americas, before Washington, of all the Americas, I take refuge there in their African songs.

My land is of the goldsmiths that existed in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.

You will never dominate us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, and who is called Bolívar, opposes you.

Our peoples are somewhat fearful, somewhat shy, they are naive and kind, lovers, but they will know how to win back the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all over Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, now Panama, before Colombia, whom you murdered.

I raise a flag, and as Gaitán said, even if I am alone, it will remain raised with Latin American dignity, which is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather didn’t know, but mine did, Mr. President, immigrant in the US.

Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, in addition to being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty as I do, don’t disrespect it, and it will offer you its sweetness.

COLOMBIA FROM NOW ON FACES THE WHOLE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE, AND HUMANITY.

I have been informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruit of our human labor to enter the US, I will do the same.

Let our people plant corn, which was discovered in Colombia, and feed the world.

Mexico, Panama, Greenland, et al might want to remember Russia’s playbook for occupying Crimea … The little green men quietly flooding in on vacation. I can see some copycat bullshit happening from the u.s.

i understand the sentiment. And I agree! I love kitties.

But house cats are not native to North America. If left alone, they are an invasive species. they should not be here.

i’m glad it worked for you! allergies in a human can change, but they very often only get worse. i’ve always liked cats and always been allergic. Actually I stopped liking cats when I found my adopted alley cat killing birds in my backyard. when I forced him to be an inside cat after like 5 times he’d killed birds he was the most miserable ass. because i wouldn’t let him outside to kill birds. i had to abruptly move away and left him to the neighbors.

Doesn’t it just seem so far away? How could “Hospital patients burned alive” affect my routine?

Now he has a ratchet with grit in it

I was gonna ask, are they using Robert’s Rules of Order in these meetings? Are they taking notes on a criminal conspiracy?

Oh no the brandy wars incoming

Unfortunately, that particular legal brief that I read, which was written by “real lawyers”, used “turgid” in reference to genitalia. The argument had something to do with the intent of undercover officers in strip clubs. I’ve forgotten why the cops were there to begin with, but my relative has a career in representing cops when they did illegal and horrible stuff. I am NOT defending any of that.

The hard “c” sound as you see in America is always a ‘k’ auf deutsch.

Is been literally decades, so I’m forgetting, but that particular case had some arguments regarding the turgid state of penises. I read a brief from this case, because my relative was like, this is silly, you’ll enjoy it

Reminds me of my lawyer relative talking about defending a case involving undercover cops and strip clubs. “Turgid” is a legal concept, I guess. Honestly I think that’s very stupid.

Shit I almost choked.
