Yeah, if Trump can somehow achieve peace and a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, that would be great for the world, and he would deserve a lot of praise for it. And he could use the Nobel Prize money to pay his legal fees.
I remember the press pointing at Ford’s lectern, which was a slender curved post supporting a small shelf, compared to Tricky’s lectern that was a massive bulky thing at least 4’ wide that, presumably, he could duck behind when the semi-autos came out.
Trump said he signed a bill giving the military a pay raise for the first time in ten years.
Pants on Fire.
George Will’s column today about Mike Pence and the Republican Party used the words “oleaginous”, “obsequious”, “toadyism”, “lickspittle” and “groveling” to describe them.
The language has moved on. Do you use ‘decimate’ solely as a synonym for 10%?
Remember when George Will was the oleaginous Republican? Good times…
The fuck it has: a podium is still a raised platform and a lectern is still the thing you stand behind.
So the guy who says to go throw shit in quarries when he find something funny is arguing that the meaning of words can’t change and adapt over time?
Tell that to Webster’s:
Ah, good point!
You could also make the point “If you’re all for clear communication, why do you keep quarrying an obscure joke that has to be googled by every new poster, over and over?”
Ok, you’ve crossed a line now! I vow to never defend your quarry thing again!
Trump has the bigliest podiums anyone’s ever seen. Much bigger than sad Obama’s.
He’s got big lecterns too. Only the biggest.
I wish he wouldn’t have held back.
You wouldn’t happen to have any statistical studies to support that assertion about the actual reason, would you?
Wait, were the Red Lecterns the bad guys in Buckaroo Banzai?
Back when Jared still had his security clearance, he racked up a record for requests to see classified documents:
Now that he can’t gather that highly-marketable information any more, there’s not much incentive for him to hang around the White House.
I would fall to the floor in astonishment if this bill doesn’t recommend privatization as the solution to all problems concerning prisons.
No, John Esh-Ariel, those were Red Lectroids, not Red Lecterns.
This is just an interesting bit of trivia, and not a part of the normal clusterfuck, but I thought I’d share it anyway. According to the documentary “Bobby Kennedy For President,” (currently available on Netflix):
In 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot in the Ambassador Hotel, and died the next day.
Fast forward a few years, and there was a courtroom battle between Donald Trump and the school system over what to do with the property. The school system wanted to use the land that the hotel was on to build a new school campus (the hotel, unable to obtain a designation of historical landmark, was condemned). Trump wanted to build another tower, the biggest in history.
We can only be ecstatic that the school system won the court case.
Yup. Pure and simple from the Eighth Dimension.
