From a way back…an ex-bf of mine had a tendancy to get kidney stones, poor boy, and this is exactly how he described it. The pain was there. He could feel it. He just did.not.care.

What do you get when you mix 30 tubs of Crisco with a group of drunken frat boys?

A lot of noise.

I guess that means that we don’t have to be concerned about Russian war crimes, or their murder and torture of unknown hundreds or thousands of innocent civilians, because it was not supported by US foreign aid.

Sure, they can say that. I suspect that the whole reason is to trick people into thinking that they can’t sue, not that it actually has any real weight in court.

I still remember once many years ago (probably 2001) the company I worked for at the time had ordered some software I needed to deploy to our computers. When I opened the packaging, on the **INSIDE** it said something like, “By opening this package you agree to the following.” I remember it well because I almost fell off my chair laughing.

It’s like the old “Do Not Read This Sign Under Penalty Of Law” joke, but for real.

Didn’t another Russian legislator want to admit a US state, Alaska, that doesn’t want to join Russia?

In the land where a sitting US President wanted to trade Puerto Rico for Greenland, anything is possible.
