"A New World Ordure, if you will."

We shouldn't

Nous ne devrions pas ça faire

Nothing worse than a ladder-puller

Pretty sure trump told him to do that because the crowd was saying trump stank last week, poor guy, never gets a break, not once in his life, always picked on. Probably 90% of the stupider stuff these people say in defense of trump originated with a phone call from him, whining.

In American politics, mudballs have been trump cards (excuse the pun) ever since George Washington wrote to Thomas Jefferson complaining that he was described by opponents in "terms that would discredit Nero, or a notorious defaulter." Jefferson was called "Mad Tom."

This latest round of insanity has certainly hit new highs in low. I think the Bloated Yam once denounced a female media questioner for being "on the rag." But I can't keep track of his lunacy anymore.

Repubs get hysterical over small, unimportant issues--wearing flag pins, eating kale, not being Christian, etc.--even if they have to invent them. I believe that's because they have no real, rational issues, so they go for over-emotional crap. Usually it's fear.

The xmas-killing "happy holidays"; Starbucks cups; tan suits, and so on. There ought to be an official "pearl carrier" for prominent repubs so they'll have something to clutch when a wave of indignant righteousness overwhelms them.

The "War on Christmas" starts every Halloween and ends on New Year's Day.

Christmas always wins. Despite the "war," shopping malls still resemble the Normandy invasion, TV and radio offer nothing but Christmas specials and the same music, politicians still give away food, and churches are usually packed on the big day.

It's obvious that Trump wears adult diaper and has been doing so for quite some time. In fact staffers who worked during his Apprentice years have reported the stench in the past. Proving once again that EVERY! ACCUSATION! IS! AN ADMISSION! OF! GUILT!

Was just gonna say this! You know when they come out with wild accusations, it's because they're already doing whatever it is!

Any links to stinky Apprentice story?

Isn't TFG the one who is actually incontinent, due to years of Adderall abuse? And isn't he the one who wears Depends under those shamefully baggy suits?

And speaking of farting in public, IIRC, it was Rudy Fooliani who audibly let one rip at a hearing. It was picked up by a mic and available for all to hear.

This all comes under the heading of, 'I know you are, but what am I?'

Neither of those things are actually evil. It happens to people, especially as they get older. There are so many important things to criticize trump and Giuliani over, it seems odd to pick this stuff.

We can generally assume any accusation they lob at Dems is a projection.

Our public discourse started to decline with the endless personal attacks by Trump, reached the lowest level at the "Dems eat babies", and I hate to say it "people poop" is less bad than "Dem rape and eat kids".

Accepting a friendly amendment to say "And Trump Started All this shit".

I assume you meant to say "endless personal attacks from Trump."

I just wrote a nastygram to my lawn service, who sent someone out today to pretend to mow my dead brown lawn. I had already written to them telling them not to come again until Spring, with two pictures attached to prove that it is dormant and needs nothing again until at least April. If I could get a human on the line at Chase Bank I would stop payment for today's fraudulent service, but their automated system has not been billed yet and there is no option on their fucking phone system to dispute an upcoming charge. These people have annoyed me right from the start, with their precious texts "please tell us how your lawn looks! Paul is (patiently) waiting for your feedback." after every service. What it amounts to is two conflicting attitudes to the lawn. Mine is, keep it in bounds so the county won't come after me for a code violation, I don't give a damn how it looks. Their attitude aligns with that of my neighbors, who are forever fussing with their grounds, as if a couple of hundred square yards of grass were a thing of beauty akin to a formal garden. That whole suburban middle class lawn aesthetic is foreign to me, despite having grown up with it. As long as there are enough living plants to prevent much erosion, I couldn't care less what it looks like, or what anybody else thinks about it.

I don't have a lawn. I do have several large stretches of hardy (outdoor) cyclamens. They are gorgeous and easy care. They die down in the summer, so they don't require much water then. They spread easily, which is why I have large stretches of them now after starting with just a few. The flowers come up first. The leaves are almost as gorgeous. And the seed pod stems circle around to reach the ground. Ornamental strawberries are also a good groundcover. I found a good picture on Breck's, but I am not recommending that source. Lots of other places sell cyclamens.

You've hit one of my buttons. Every fucking time I have an appointment with my HMO, I get a bullshit quality control questionnaire. I'm confident that these all get filed in /dev/null/. Do these idiots know NOTHING about statistical quality control?

I hate the "how did we do" email questionnaires from EVERYone. Jesus. I go, I bought, I left. Now leave me TF alone. If I have an issue with service or attitude, I go to the manager right then. Same with uncommon praise. Good service requires no comment, since it should be a given.

The whole middle class suburban lawn obsession (I grew up with it too) is an anachronistic holdover from the days when British landowners used to show off their wealth and privilege by having acres upon acres of pristine green grass. And to this day we in the West still equate a perfect lawn with wealth and status. Where I live the City pays you to rip up your water intensive lawn and replace it with a no water xeriscape.

Go to a development in the lower Mojave area, like Victorville, or Lancaster. You'll see lawns all over the freaking place. Ask your average homeowner were their water comes from (NoCal) and they won't have a clue. Also over 200 golf courses and a few fake water ski lakes in Palm Springs fed by the Colorado River. Good times.

One of the things I like about Trump is that I have no idea what he smells like. Let's keep it that way.

Reminds me of:

That asshole was so fucked up the he didn’t know whether to shit or go blind (so he just closed one eye and farted).

There's a line in Juvenal somewhere, insulting an acquaintance: When you spoke just now, I thought you had farted.

My daughter, when she was about 3, farted loudly when I was putting her in the car seat. I couldn’t help laughing even though I tried to stifle it. She noticed my amusement and said, “My sister farted and it blew her underpants off!” This made me lose my shizzle because she didn’t have and never had any sisters.
