Why let in someone who shit stirs with the sole aim of monetising that shit stirring?

Looks like Bobby Walker is well advanced with his third chin.

As long as the administration’s friends who took risky positions in Argentine bonds can get out with a reasonable return before the music stops.

Big, burly bearded men with tears in their eyes who said “Yes, sir, we will disarm but only because it was you who asked us to!”

Big, burly, bearded men with tears in their eyes, no doubt.

Johnson: Let’s talk about the bullshit I want you to focus on.

They are merely continuing an old tradition that is popular amongst Republicans.

Don’t cross the proton streams! It would be bad!

Many hitherto informal guardrails against fascism, autocracy and dictatorship will require explicit law and codification.

It may look like an arch but it will actually be a portal to Hell, through which will be thrown anyone who doesn’t support Strong Leader.

Anything to take public attention of the Epstein files.

These guys think it’s appropriate to undertake microsurgery with a chainsaw. I guess if they make a mistake, you won’t be able to see it amongst the pools of blood, mangled flesh and dismembered body parts.

The guys making those slurs are not “young boys”. They are fully grown men on the verge of middle age, according to their photos.

Thin-skinned thugs can’t take any ridicule.

Looks like the money market players have recognised a profitable opportunity regarding the Argentine peso. They will keep selling the peso in a bid to drive down its value, betting that the markets will win in a battle with the US, which is trying to prop it up. That $40b will be exhausted quickly.

40 years of age is heading towards middle age. It’s not really young (except when compared with Charles Grassley). But maybe the GOP thinks you’re not ready for elected office until you’re over 40 and, presumably, have acquired sufficient relevant life experience.

None you are forlorn about this. All of you are gleeful about it.

Republican Party ideas are toxic to most Americans.

All of them look extremely well fed. I doubt they have had to struggle for anything their entire lives.

So that’s why they’re all blowing up mid-flight!

They all seem to have a porcine appearance. And not that young.

The Epstein files are Trumpenstein’s monster.

Y’all need to move to Argentina, then.

What possible use could SpaceX have for these Tesla Cyberclunkers?
