Had a bit more of a think. For the record. I'm going to avoid liking anyone who's adopted this practice. Not going to mute or block them, but I think it ought to be discouraged.

And yes, I get how we neurotypicals don't aways get... stuff.

But this still seems LITERALLY dodgy.

My passport, issued by the US State Department, which undergoes SO much more scrutiny than some hillbilly motor vehicle office held together with baling wire, officiated by Barney F'n Fife?

They didn't want to accept it as valid. I had to PLEAD with them to take my money. They did. Grudgingly. 2/2

I'll wonder long enough to go "yuck." Gee, thanks for that disturbing scenario.

Why would you expect anything less?

They could've been subjected to ninety minutes' worth of Trump's adult diapers being discarded and they'd give it five stars.

I very, VERY seriously doubt that seven million dollars' worth of attendees were present.

Somebody has to document the atrocities.

Right wing assholes routinely steal music and wait to get sued for using it. I'd assume that's the case here.

(Even if it's not Mick and Keef who still own the rights, you'd think whoever DID wouldn't want it used for this purpose.)

Reading is hard!

Thanks for watching this so nobody else has to.

(I do envy your ability to detect journalists in attendance; I'm going to take your word for it.)

Please stop making me laugh quite so hard at this. Thanks.

This has been another edition of "But seriously, who would believe this nonsense in the first place?"

I've grown to actively loathe just about *anyone* who presents themselves as deep thinkers, and I'm moving along to feeling the same way about friends who continue to give such asswipes any of their bandwidth.

This will turn out well for me, I'm sure!

Ah. Kind of like Inspector Clouseau hiring Cato Fong to attack him, I guess.

You allowed Jordan Peterson to complete a sentence before switching to something else?

Well that'll larn ya.

Sounds kinda cowardly, but y'all be y'all I guess.

I'd much rather dismiss anyone rude with a well delivered verbal chop to the neck, and then block 'em individually.

Maybe if I ever get super popular I'll disable my replies!

(Don't worry, anyone... I'm not fishin' for follows.)

On that Apprentice ep, presumably as he was every ep, DJT was every bit the flaming asshole I expected him to be.

In dismissing the contestant, he said: "You tried to outSMART me. NObody outsmarts me."

Joke is? EVERYONE does.

Everyone.

Because he has the Worst Words, and a Very Bad Brain.

The Apprentice was a shitty, cheap-ass, tacky game show.

But I did see one episode, because my daughter was a Jonas Brothers fan. One of the JoBros appeared on his game show. (forget which one.)
