Food?
I love this bit in the linked article…
The guy investigating and the guy defending are from the same firm. What could go wrong?
The term seems to originate from Britain, where the region was seen as the hedge to Russian incursion into the British-controlled sub-continent (later known as Gandhiland). The Brits were rather major players in the drawing of lines in the sand (IIUC, Peter O’Toole was instrumental in unifying SA, between pints). So, in Arabic, Persian and Turkish, they use translated forms of ME for the region, due to British influence.
Our failing, low-energy president decided to take advantage of his visit to the Holocaust museum in Israel by treating the guestbook like his Twitter feed;

That’s what this idiot took away from the place.
It might not be his fault, though - one analysis indicates that his language skills are rapidly deteriorating.
Yes. Why would they not? The origin of the name may be Eurocentric but that doesn’t mean the name itself is worthless.
This, like so many of his asinine statements, seems to indicate a grade school level of wonder. As if he’s breathlessly describing his latest field trip to his best friend’s parents.
“Edible thing”
(no really - shiwù (food) is a combination of shi (eating, edible) and wù (thing, matter, substance))
He’s in the Vatican now - and boy does Francis look overjoyed to be in the company ofthe Orange Clan. I guess Trump took cues on Putin re:trolling too, because he gave Francis a boxset of Martin Luther King’s writings. That’s right, he gave the Pope some preaching by a Protestant minister.
Better call Saul!
Partly this, but I think his feeble mind associates the Middle East as “bad!” and Israel as “good!” So, since he’s about as sharp as a spork to begin with, his usual bigotry and over-generalizing kicked in and was really trying to relate that he returned from a “very yucky bad” place to a “very fun good place.” And when can they all have ice cream?
The picture of Trump shaking hands with the pope make it appear that Trump was attempting his ridiculous “yank his arm off to show him who’s boss” hand-shake move.
Waitaminute… How come Melania and Ivanka have their heads covered? Why are they showing such obeisance in a theocracy like that? I hear women are completely shut out of power there!
I was shocked to learn that Jared Kushner, who has been given all kinds of government authority, is an asshole:
yes, that fact should have it’s own thread. he isn’t just an asshole, he is demented. all the people allowing this puppet to have power should be ashamed to let this go on.
Perhaps he thought it was a yearbook? Keep in touch over the summer! BFFS 4 EVER!
Eta: W wrote God bless Israel. 45 kept out pretty much all about himself. He is honored. He will never forget it.
Geez, are there only, like TWO law firms on the east coast, and everybody belongs to one or the other? :rolleyes:
This is really interesting. Good topic for 60 Minutes or Frontline.
What’s with Trump’s shit eating grin in pictures with the Pope? He is probably thinking, “Hey! Check this out! I’m hangin’ with the Pope! This is yuuuge.”

Fixed.
“Hey check this out! The Pope is hangin’ with me!”
Which would explain the Pope’s expression.
Meanwhile, apparently Melania and Ivanka were thinking: I’m meeting a priest; this must be a funeral. And dressed accordingly.
At least it wasn’t the writings of Martin Luther.
