Not exactly confidence building. I suspected it was a Boeing… (and it was!)

Watch out sensitive olds, more non white girl pop bands than just K and/or J Pop coming to make your ears bleed and send you into a tizzy. Even more Spicier Girls.

Maybe trying to sell the World Cup to scummy investors was not a good idea especially as Brother of Human Doll Kushner ratfucks Infantino by running hard in the other direction.

Nige, Nige, Nige. Ironic that the man who decried furriners in ole Blighty isn’t above taking money from furrniners.

No shit. There are some place in Murrica I’d love to visit, but no thanks to being deported to South Korea or South Africa (because ICE is dumb) or shot by the imbeciles of ICE because of my furriner looking face. As for trade… we’re not your colony, Trump.

Witkoff and Kush, the 21st Century answer to Dewey Cheatem and Howe, going to use their incomparable lack of diplomatic skillz to appease the Kliment Voroshilov of the 21st Century, Vlad Putin.

Enjoy the late DOT by poor RIP sub, Manchu!

  1. Is it Labo(u)r Day up in Canuckistan? The civilized world celebrates it on 1 May. I don’t know why we in the US picked early September. The Haymarket Riots maybe?

    But happy Labor Day to you all!

    • Thanks, Encyclopedia Brittanica!
      “So how did Labor Day become a federal holiday in the United States? The answer involves the Pullman Strike of 1894, which was a widespread railroad strike and boycott that severely disrupted rail traffic in the Midwest. Amid the unrest—which eventually led to a federal government injunction—U.S. President Grover Cleveland decided to make a conciliatory gesture to the labor movement. He proposed creating a national public holiday to commemorate workers. The most obvious choice was either Labor Day or May Day. However, the latter’s socialist origins and its association with various workers’ riots, notably Chicago’s Haymarket Affair of 1886, made May Day unacceptable. So, Labor Day was selected, and on June 28, 1894, Cleveland signed legislation making it an official federal holiday.”

    • He says a lot of things.

      It’s like watching a nation version of what happened to me and the workplace bully last year. The more I distanced myself from him, the more angry and vicious he got. Hopefully, no actual punches will be exchanged but hope is not a strategery and Carney is more level headed/less hot tempered than I am.
