Stumpy

My guess is the latter

Biden's handshake and look at Manchin here is GOLD

Even after everything you have seen in the last few years you are still going with the "but her emails" defense? It would be funny if it wasn't so pitiable.

Thats a new one on me.

Not sure BH is a great advertisement for an MBA programme at this point...

You could almost call that being "conservative"....

Bill is an odd name for a whole duck though rather than just a part of one.

Not at all, I generally don't bother even reading his shit but this one struck me as particularly unpleasant.

What a thoroughly disgusting person you are. That is just wrong on so many levels.

To paraphrase something I heard once, thats like asking which is your favourite venereal disease. They are both awful people with no integrity and very little talent. I'd take truss, because I think she is worse, and more likely to lose at the next general election.

"Yesterday is a difficult word for me"

I've pulled all my business out of the US, and will no longer visit for the time being at least. I know many in the same boat.

Respect. I'm not terribly familiar with Russian or Turkish but I know Japanese is HARD. At least french, spanish and italian are all kind of related!

We've needed them many times in the past. I think the UK actually does a great job of respecting the special forces without the slightly weird idolisation and hero worship that seems to happen in the US.

Agreed. Elon might be a gigantic ego on legs, but at least he has an IQ that breaks into 3 figures.

And yet he's orders of magnitude more coherent and accurate than his predecessor. I'm not a biden fan. I'm somewhat bemused that despite holding Congress, Senate and the Presidency he still seems to be "losing". You are clearly however buying into the narrative from the right that has him simultaneously losing his marbles, but also masterminding some grand plan to kill fossil fuels, or tax the rich, or allow illegal immigration, or whatever Fox places in your head each evening.

What does that have to do with ANYTHING?

Because of the magic caravan of course!!! You know - the one that appears every time fox and friends want something to rile up their less well educated base about!

Its a literal neck restraint. Even the symbology is awful. I hate them with a passion

Although had he tried to hang on in there they were talking about changing the rules to allow it.

I think you are over selling them a wee bit.

Withdraw privileges (or threaten to - which in the case of my kids is often enough). In terms of my 8 year old (close enough) that would generally mean device time. My little one (4yo) is my challenge - he resorts to punching (usually his brother) when he's frustrated. His brother is usually winding him up. This issue is actually pretty much hero worship - he actually wants to be his brother and is frustrated when he can't compete/ keep up. It leads to some fairly reprehensible behaviour at times but I can't envisage hitting either of them ever being of any benefit. Gratuitous kid pic. Sorry!

Honestly, why does anyone still wear a tie. They are such a nonsense item of clothing and make no sense whatoever.

French A-level (highest UK school exams taken at 18 years old) - can function socially in french, spanish, italian given a couple of weeks in the various countries. Regret not doing more languages at school because I really enjoy it now.

The alternative is 9 unelected wizards who try to commune with long dead presidents and read their minds. (sarcasm font thoroughly on - all the systems are nonsense, the British one just has extra history as well)
