I think they should just blow the thing into little pieces and ship them Collect Air Freight to Bezos’ mansion so he can put it back together like a jigsaw puzzle. ---

Shame on all of you – you who sanctimoniously claim to champion the cause of the disadvantaged. If this man is stuck with only his ‘**[support yacht](https://www.chron.com/culture/celebrities/article/jeff-bezos-yacht-superyacht-miniyacht-16182254.php)**,’ you’ll all rue the day [“Rue the day ?

“Support yacht” sounds like a bad translation or something in a Boston accent. ---

Isn’t Bezos’ yacht only too tall to fit under the bridge if the masts are in place before it leaves Rotterdam? In that case, perhaps they can fit the masts somewhere else. ---

That was one godawful piece of…let’s call it writing. And “Jesus followers”? These clowns, whom I call Y’allqueda (I believe I first encountered that term on this site, so thanks to whoever coined it!) are not even pretending the constitution matters to them except for their one favorite part. ---
