Doesn’t matter. This administration bases its Eastern European policies on which of the President’s wives were from that country.

Too bad the Falcons lost. It would have been poetic justice for Trump to be inviting a Muslim to dinner at the White House.

There’s yet another difference between Bush and Trump. Bush specifically said, “We are not at war with Islam”. Trump is proving that he personally is waging war on Islam.

Can’t Make America Great Again without first destroying the greatness that she manifested up until the America-hating fuckstick began befouling the Oval Office with his presence and that of his wretched hive of scum and villainy.

To be fair, we have reliable intelligence that a man born in Queens of a foreign-born mother is planning devastating attacks on America.

Sigh. But the Great Molasses Flood has whimsy. Dark whimsy, but still.

Perm is in Russia, so Putin was probably involved.

My favorite so far was from Fark: “Lich Queen Vlaakith Kellyanne Conway”. They also refer to Ann Coulter with a number of “Baba Yaga”-esque titles.

Those dirty commie Siberian Traps.

When they came for the stromatolites I said nothing…  
When they came for the ammonoids and nautiloids, I said nothing…  
When they came for the lycopods and sphenopsids…  
😃

Permian. Perm, Russia. Siberian traps, Russia. Coincidence? Perhaps not.

When Anusface makes one of his daily, inaccurate comments, what is going on exactly? Is he just a moron? Is he trolling? Does he have alzheimers?

If the so-called president really wants to make America great again, he should ask his supporters to voluntarily remove themselves from the gene pool.
