Google is telling me that It was Dolly Parton. I thought it was Joan Rivers too. And it was a joke about herself. If _I_ have one more facelift… ---

It is a good joke. I didn’t get it at first because I’m stupid. I get it now, and that’s pretty damn funny. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > Google is telling me that It was Dolly Parton. I thought it was Joan Rivers too. And it was a joke about herself. If _I_ have one more facelift… I saw another page where someone remembered it being Bob Hope, which is almost as unlikely as Dolly Parton. I’m fairly certain it was Joan Rivers, and it was definitely about Gloria Vanderbilt. ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > I saw another page where someone remembered it being Bob Hope, which is almost as unlikely as Dolly Parton. I’m fairly certain it was Joan Rivers, and it was definitely about Gloria Vanderbilt. Not Bob Hope’s type of material at all. It is, however, _Trump’s_ type of material, and we shouldn’t be surprised if he starts taking credit for it. And it would make sense. At his age, chin-level is much easier to grab. ---

So… now he’s cruelly [gloating](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1107029377123057664) at the misfortune of an ally: > [@](#): > > Originally Posted by **You-Know-Fucking-Who** > > _How is the Paris Environmental Accord working out for France? After 18 weeks of rioting by the Yellow Vest Protesters, I guess not so well! In the meantime, the United States has gone to the top of all lists on the Environment._ I’ll just quote here what I posted on my FB page: "Just a reminder for those of you playing at home: France is an ALLY of the United States. In fact, the Franco-American alliance predates the very Constitution which this soggy diaper attempts to despoil on a daily basis. Good thing the French have too much taste and restraint to respond in kind. I can only imagine if Twitter had been around in 2001, Jacques Chirac might’ve tweaked America with a tweet like this: “How is that FBI/CIA/NSA national security apparatus working out for the United States? After nearly 3,000 dead due to Arabian boxcutters, I guess not so well! In the meantime, France has gone to the top of all lists on the Security. Quel dommage!”" ---

What does _“top of all lists on the Environment”_ even mean? What lists? The list of countries that want to destroy anything in the natural world that can’t immediately be turned into profit? ---

Of course we’ve also been palming our collective faces pretty hard, pretty often at the government’s response. That’s a health care crisis, of a kind. ---

I’m glad to hear that things aren’t as bad as they might look like to the casual observer on the outside. 🙂 However, the _intent_ is the same, whether the “misfortune” is real or not. Trump wanted to gloat and mock at - again, I think it needs to be emphasized - an ALLY. > [@ThelmaLou](#): > > What does _“top of all lists on the Environment”_ even mean? What lists?

Well, yeah - that’s the other thing. Of course, it doesn’t even make any sense on its own terms. Just more mean-spirited gibberish… ---

GM isn’t good but must act quickly even tho other, better people are already coming. :rolleyes: ---
