Remember about four years ago, when people were upset about a salty Turkish steakhouse proprietor touching the World Cup trophy? We were so happy and innocent then.
What's even funnier about the World Cup is that the Argentine president is so superstitious that he never goes to big games. Guess even him staying home can't overcome the Trump Curse.
"an encyclopedic mind." Which would be great, if it weren't a poorly done forgery of the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, most of the volumes missing, and those that aren't have been almost entirely destroyed by mold and mildew. While it is technically possible to read some of what remains, you are likely to end up with aspergillosis.
We've been trying to identify the source of a tiny little beetle infestation in the house. Well, this morning, I found it - they'd gotten into the bag of bird seed that was just sitting by the back door and had turned it into an incubator. I sprayed the interior of a plastic trash bag with the good bug killer, dumped the entire bag of bird seed into it, tied it shut, and dropped it into our outside rubbish bin wholesale. Then sprayed it down again for good measure. Then sprayed down the area around where the bird seed had been sitting with the pet safe bug spray, and I'll give it another day to finish the job.
Tomorrow I'll do some decluttering along that wall, followed by a deep vacuum of the dead corpses, then a sweep and mop of the whole house.
At least it wasn't roaches this time. We've got one of them in the garage now and I've screamed like a little girl each time I see it because I have a phobia. The big traps aren't big enough for palmetto bugs....
"Donald Trump found a way to be pathetic and embarrassing during the ceremony afterward". Even more so than usual. If that is even possible.
After Roosevelt's 4 terms, the 22d Amendment was added to the Constitution, limiting presidents to 2 terms. There is no reason why there can't be a 28th Amendment, limiting the presidency to persons of sound mind, and of above-average intelligence, both of which to be determined by an impartial examination by qualified psychologists.
Ka$h Patel on Sunday dropped a celebratory promo video applauding himself and his bureau for getting “it done” at the World Cup.

*In short sections with such titles as ‘The Blunderers’ Club’, ‘Fools in Hell’, ‘Genealogy of Idiots’, and ‘The Aesthetics of the Empty Gesture’, stupidity is analysed on the basis of fairy tales, cartoons, triumphal arches, garden architecture, Baroque ceilings, jokes, flimsy excuses and science fiction."
If Trump has an "encyclopedic" mind, it's an old World Book after the bindings have been cut off in order to pulp the things. Not only is it irrelevant and mostly outdated, but also totally random.
But does this mean we can call him Enciclopedia Brownpants, now?
My inner nine year old, a huge EB fan, is offended by your vague association between that brilliant (and generally kind) kid and The Orange Embarrassment.
why do so many of the people around him say he has an encyclopedic mind when clearly he struggles with coherent thought? Maybe they mean his knowledge of things is roughly a paragraph or two each, and organized alphabetically.
Have you ever watched one of his “cabinet meetings”?
Unrestrained tongue massages of Shitler’s prostate is a competitive sport in this regime; the word “ obsequious” doesn’t even begin to adequately describe it.
Just wait til these sycophants get going with the shameless flattery about Emperor Enshitticus's new clothes, another parable about which they have zero knowledge.
Ta-da, tamarin! Evolution went a little crazy with variations on a theme with this bunch. https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/treetop-tamarin-toddler

The Monkey likes
to fling his poo
and you better duck
or he’ll aim at you
Yo! Hey! You! Did I ever tell you about my cousin, he became sort of famous. His stage name was the Lorax...some doctor even wrote a book about him!
Cutie pie
Mini Lorax with a different color scheme!
Little monkey in a tree, little monkeys, it’s no doubt, little monkeys weird me out. Burma shave!
Tarmarin and tamarin and tarmarin
Creeps in the pretty place from day to day.
I had to memorize this for class back in about 1964.
A tamarin's a monkey
A tamarind's a fruit
One is sweet and sour
The other small and cute.
Ogden Nash, is that you?
What a fine compliment! I agree, he's quite the quip.
Thanks, dearie.
I should be so good,
Actually, I beg to differ. I live for your daily poem!
The Lorax!
Not to be confused with tamarind. Un monito lindo.
Good morning!
Mustached Minkey!
That's not my dog.
The Wilford Brimley of the animal kingdom.
Whee!
Evolution-Gone-Wild
Show us your tamarins!
Babby tamarin may be a monkey, but is curious as a kitty.
Vox Beastie Boys:
'Stache monkey!
That funky monkey junkie!"
D'oh!
"You have 30 seconds to comply." Bang. Bang. Bang. etc
You had me at little fascist piss trough.

A slight correction to your last Tab, Evan.
JD Vance did not reproduce. Usha Vance reproduced. The child isn't white.

The best take on the Trump photobomb so far

"Speaking of, surprise, the FBI is no longer going to be investigating ICE murders."
Why waste all that time and effort investigating, when everybody already knows what conclusions they're going to come to before they even start?

I will always love Madrid, and Spain, for this statue to Lucifer I stumbled on one day while I was eating my lunch:

Encyclopedic: dusty, closed, untouched.
