Indeed - notice: lashed out at the _associates_ of Donald Trump, not at Donald Trump. Like Donald, they are convinced it was that the Giulianis, Powells, etc. called the wrong play in his name and dropped the ball. But they were ready to step forward as long as they were told this was what Trump wanted, and they are ready to do so again if they believe they are hearing the authorized Word of Trump. ---

If ever I could believe that someone sold their soul to the devil, it would be Donald Trump. ---

“Sold”? To CFSG? When has he _ever_ handed money over to someone else for anything? “Gave”, I could believe. Got something in return, not so much. ---

Duodecima is kinda awesome. But I would hate to to think what their Nickname would be. Worked with a guy named Achilles. His ‘Nickname’ was ‘Killer’ in high school. Football Couch could not pronounce his name. So he was ‘Killer’. Live with that for years and years. ---

_ **TRIGGER WARNING** The linked article concerns dog meat consumption._ IMHO, [this lying mofo is the platonic ideal of a Stupid MFer in the News](https://www.yahoo.com/news/south-korean-dog-meat-farmers-160039483.html). For those in the know, you can readily see the falsehoods in the dog “farmer’s” account. On the positive side, this article did mention that dog meat is not actually legal for human consumption. On the other hand, thanks to the jackass “farmers” and dumbass customers believing that “stamina” bullshit, not having a law specifically against it, to wit, DOG MEAT CONSUMPTION IS ILLEGAL, keeps the so-called industry alive and cruel. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > DOG MEAT CONSUMPTION IS ILLEGAL, Well, not yet at least. > It’s neither explicitly banned nor legalized in South Korea, but more and more people want it prohibited. > The anti-dog meat campaign recently received a big boost when the country’s first lady expressed her support for a ban and two lawmakers submitted bills to eliminate the dog meat trade. > Prospects for passage of an anti-dog meat law are unclear because of protests by farmers, restaurant owners and others involved in the dog meat industry. > In late 2021, South Korea launched [a government-civilian task force](https://apnews.com/article/lifestyle-south-korea-restaurants-dogs-8d3bcb1d810f6c464b5d39ca0a6772c6) to consider outlawing dog meat at the suggestion of then-President Moon Jae-in, a pet lover. The committee, whose members include farmers and animal rights activists, has met more than 20 times but hasn’t reached any agreement, apparently because of disputes over compensation issues. ---

The cofounder of Oceangate (I.e. the one who didn’t get crushed into meat-flavored paste) wants to send 1,000 people to live in a colony on Venus. You know, the planet where the air pressure is 95 atmospheres, it’s about 850 degrees outside during the four-month-long night, it rains sulfuric acid, and lead is a _liquid_. > **[OceanGate's cofounder wants to send 1,000 people to a floating colony on...](https://www.businessinsider.com/oceangate-cofounder-send-humans-live-venus-atmosphere-2050-titan-sohnlein-2023-7)** > > Guillermo Söhnleinm told Insider he has wanted to make humanity a multi-planet species since he was 11 years old, and that OceanGate was part of that ambition.
