Ancient rules be damned.

Calls grow for parliamentary rule changes to strip Andrew of titles and ask questions of royals

Trump’s poodle is truly outrageous;
These lies that he tells are contagious.
It’s time to call out
Each Republican lout
And the bullshit they spout. Be courageous!

Steve Bannon was Donald’s wet nurse;
he taught him to cuss and to curse
in front of the media,
an encyclopedia
Trump memorized, chapter and verse.

Toilet humor

(for the 47th president of the US and other under-7s)

When his weapon of choice is his poop,
it confirms that he’s now in the soup.
It’s pretty bad voodoo
this dropping of doo-doo.
Just how low will the imbecile stoop?

Used AI just to go take a dump

You might have to draw the line at using sex in everyday interactions, but what the White House needs is a bonobo ...

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Bonobos transformed how we think about animal societies. Can we save the last of the ‘hippy apes’?

They are peaceful, female-led and use sex in everyday interactions. Now a new conservation scheme could offer a lifeline to our critically endangered close relatives living on the Congo river
