There are a few threads this can go in: Remember that video Trump released featuring Iron Man, _Braveheart_, and all kinds of other people’s intellectual property, that ends with the _Mortal Kombat_ soundbite “Flawless Victory?” Iran has responded with [a video of their own.](https://youtu.be/JTKmfog0OUM?si=9FXzyY24zdY--KnW) I’m expecting ketchup will be thrown at a wall in the near future. ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > n the old “News of the Weird” newspaper column, Chuck Shepherd used to repeatedly point out how stupid, inept criminals always seemed to have the middle name “Wayne” It was ‘middle name Wayne = Serial Killer.’ 😯 And Marky was the stupidest senator until “Coach Tumorville” happened. Oklahoma first sent Marky as a representative. He vowed to eliminate government waste and subsidies. Imagine his surprise 🙄 when he found out his family plumbing business got some 60% of its revenues from these same subsidies through Native American contracts. He also vowed to serve no more than two terms, he’d straighten things out and not become one of “them” hanging on the government’s teat. He tossed that vow right away. Wife liked DC better than eastern OK. A couple more terms and then he moved onto the Senate as a reliable Trump toadie. A chickenhawk, stolen valor guy. A workout pretend MMA fighter. A liar. Only the best men. 🙄 ---

> [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > tanTrump I finally have to ask. Obviously, ‘tan’ is a derogatory reference to his clown makeup; but it’s not that much of an insult in English. Is there another connotation in French?
