Almost certainly true, though some countries might require that he apply for a special exemption. But as of right now I’m pretty sure that he could not fly into any of those countries as he does now have a criminal record. He could not, for example, without being granted an exemption, visit his golf course in Scotland.

Yes, I suspect that most of the damage probably came from hitting other things on the way down and it probably just grazed the pole. I once witnessed an accident where a much smaller vehicle – just a small delivery van – flipped upside down and struck a utility pole. The pole snapped like a twig, throwing high-voltage wires sparking into the street. And I was on my motorcycle at the time!

Is it… wrong… that I immediately wanted someone, anyone, to do a parody version of [30,000 lbs of Bananas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGldNpngDws) about the bus? 30k pounds of trump debris isn’t quite as much fun (or make any real sense, but it could be 3k!).

3000 lbs, of Fan-danas…

Which of course, are a thing, I imagine the cheapest possible option, something like [this](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nx9sTxI6L._SL1500_.jpg).

One of our songwriters or skilled AI users should get to work on this!

To me, it’s his hand movements/gestures when he speaks. I hate watching him.

I think the irritation is easily explained, in both those cases: none of his looks or actions are natural.

The invisible accordion! He really pumps that thing when he gets excited, like when he’s whining about his usual catalog of grievances. It’s hilarious when you mute the sound and imagine the furious tempo of accordion sounds.

Not sure where to put this …

The House something-or-other Committee had a hearing on COVID and had Dr Faucci in as witness. AS you might expect, the Republicans were mostly just scoring political points. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) had this to say

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/KX7evFxbFmE/hqdefault.jpg "Rep. Raskin apologizes to Dr. Fauci for GOP, says they treat a 'convicted felon' better") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX7evFxbFmE)

> “They’re treating you, Dr. Fauci, like a convicted felon,” Raskin lamented. “Actually, you probably wish they were treating you like a convicted felon. They treat convicted felons with love and admiration. Some of them blindly worship convicted felons.”

Absolutely! His smarmy “smile” when he actually has his mouth shut looks to me like someone took a cel of the original Grinch and replaced all the green with orange.

I’m with you on most of this, but actually, I love watching him “dance”! I try to guess which two MAGAmales he’s simultaneously jerking off.
