Can someone explain to me what an Arabic Rosary is? I remember the rosary beads being without writing, and Arabic is a language, not a bead style. I guess one could say the Hail Mary's and Our Father's in Arabic, but that wouldn't be written on the beads. I have distant memories of doing the rosary and it was deeply boring. Actually, I think it would perk it up to have some beautiful Arabic calligraphy laser printed on the beads

They're referring to 'Subha', the Muslim prayer beads.

Thank you for succinctly capturing my exact train of thought when I read the words "Arabic Rosary".

His act has already been on the road.

His son watched the insurrection on tv with junior, gargoyle, and the boys in real time in the trump 'situation room'.

You have to admit, high end jewelry is a much classier way to accept bribes from the Saudis than just taking sacks of cash (Jared) or hosting their golf tournament at your trash palace in NJ (inmate # P01135809).

In 1973 an acquaintance of mine stopped importing large quantities of weed from Mexico and started smuggling jewels instead.

His reasoning was if he was caught with a ton of weed, he would be tried as a 'drug smuggler'

but if he were caught running jewels he would be considered something of a rogue gentleman crook.

Also, a small packet of emeralds is easier to conceal than a ton of stinky weed.

He never was caught.

I'm filing "Arabic rosary" in my WTF file next to "Hebrew mass."

Well, given how his campaign is raising money, I'm sure he has the cash.

Notice how attempted coup perpetrators get treated in Brazil. They don't fuck around, maybe because they've had to suffer under real, genuine, successful coups and know what it's like.

Also, it was a genius touch to make that My Little Pony green. Harps, Ireland, green, get it?

In a latter day extension of "life imitating art", we have a South American grifter and banana republic strongman imitating a North American tin-pot dictator and democracy defying asshole imitating a South American coup plotter and bankrupt loser. Sweet Jesu, deliver me from this shit storm.

Apparently I'm one of those 23 readers, because that image is hilarious! Also topical.

I think it must be 23 pairs of readers and this is an elaborate mitosis/meiosis joke.

You are likely correct, which I only realized after I commented. For real. Not just saving face (I'll always be first in line to admit I'm a moron)

Oh, I had no idea what that image signified. Obviously a My Little Pony episode I haven't watched. I was just riffing off the whole 46 chromosome thing.

Well considering it's a pair of grifter twins, why not both?

Doesn't he have more Covid to catch? Or, like, a Cassowary to fight or something?
