Per your own cite:
Most English-speaking countries recognize seven regions as continents.
Posters here are largely from those English-speaking countries (as it is an English language message board after all). So your argument seems pretty irrelevant.
Philatelists have come up with the term, BNA (British North America) to include Canada and the US while excluding Mexico.
You could have gone to one of Orson Welles’ Shakespeare productions in the 1930s – he used a similar “cathedral of light” set design for the background of one of the Henry plays.
With his press conference yesterday, talking about taking over Greenland, and the Panama Canal, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico, Trump has finally become General Esposito from Woody Allen’s 1971 film Bananas
Go to 1:55 in:
Okay, I laughed. (Out loud, as it were.)
Yep, this. No matter how few brain cells he has, since all of them are concentrated on the con, he does manage to come up with some effective ones.
None of the problems you list has any obvious potential for making Trump money. So…
For some definitions of “greatest” perhaps.
Nor do they affect him. Somewhere in his lizard brain he knows that he will die before this really matters. To Him. To hell with everyone else.
That could be his motto. It is his business plan.
Yes, possibly. Or he doesn’t have any idea of dying but instead knows—through far too much experience—that he can simply lie about the problems (‘they’re all solved now!!1!!’) and be believed by millions.
And that Africa is a homogeneous country.
I said in 2016 that any treaty or contract with the US might as well be written in pencil, but now I think crayons would be more appropriate.
He’s chatting with Alito again:
Supreme Court Justice Alito spoke to Trump on Tuesday, ABC News reports
I believe this was roughly One Day before Trump’s legal team asked SCOTUS to delay the sentencing in his “hush money” case.
But this call wasn’t about that. It was about a reference for a former Law Clerk to work in 47’s administration.
Ahh. I find tremendous comfort in them having told me that.
/s
And the keys to the 30 meter yacht that were left on Alito’s desk were just a gratuity for training such a great clerk.
Trump is taking the opportunity of the awful fires raging in LA to shit on his political opponents. What an absolute classless asshole. I would be embarrassed if this was my drunken uncle spouting this shit. But no, he’s about to become POTUSA again.
This would never have happened in Trumpton. Their fire brigade would have been all over this in no time.
Pugh! Pugh! Barney McGrew! Cuthbert! Dibble! Grubb!
Oh no, he would have had them rake their lawns more often.
“Do you have any candy?”
“No.”
“Do you have any toys?”
“No.”
“Do you have a pen and something to write on?”
“No.”
“Can I draw in this bible?”
“No.”
“Can you really smell it when I fill my pants?”
“A little. Listen to the service.”
I believe we have a winner for the 2025 post of the year.
This is really about the rw media, but how long before they start expressing outrage at President Biden dissing Trump through his eulogizing of President Carter? Here is the transcript.
"Jimmy Carter’s friendship taught me, and through his life taught me, a strength of character is more than title or the power we hold. It’s the strength to understand that everyone should be treated with dignity, respect, that everyone—and I mean everyone—deserves an even shot, not a guarantee, which is a shot.
We have an obligation to give hate no safe harbor. And to stand up, to my dad used to say is the greatest sin of all: Abuse of power."
Apologies if it’s too off topic; I just didn’t know where to put it.
i appreciated it. i thought biden did very well.
I watched about 10 minutes of Hannity last night before my TV melted from an overdose of Stupid. In those few minutes he said Mayor Bass was “nowhere to be found”; that she cut manpower to the LAFD and funded DEI programs instead; and that it’s somehow her fault that hydrants ran dry.
He then said with a straight face that “Trump foresaw all this.” He ran 6 year old clips of Trump saying that California should rake their forests like they do in Finland; and a clip of him babbling about how disgraceful it is that we let rivers flow to the sea (I guess if we build enough dams we could run sprinkler systems through the millions of acres of national forest).
At no time did he mention climate change. Of course.
