I don’t think there’s any such agreement when _we’re_ the ones doing the attacking. ---

He’s really losing it: 24K gold coin? Seriously? Not long ago he would not have settled for less than 48K gold coins. 72K on a good day. ---

They _can_ be taught – they just have to want to be. As Dorothy Parker said, “You can lead a horticulture but you can’t make her think.” ---

Sadly, they would STILL vote for Trump a 4th time if given the opportunity if the Dems had the audacity to run a woman or a minority for president and claim it’s the lessor of two evils. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > He’s been telling world leaders for the better part of a year to eat a bag of dicks, and now he can’t get any of them to help him out of his collosal fuck-up. What a surprise! As someone from one of the countries in question, it’s really quite a turnaround. Australia has typically _at the least_ made a public and performative gesture towards supporting idiotic US military adventures, since WWII. But this time - while Australia is providing some quiet passive support - we are not doing anything public, active and directly supportive of the US in particular. We are helping UAE to a token extent, and we have always helped with intelligence. The reasons no doubt include deep Australian voter antipathy towards Trump’s US; the obvious folly of the entire adventure; and I suspect a feeling that Trump is losing his home support and so angering him isn’t such a concern. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > As Dorothy Parker said, “You can lead a horticulture but you can’t make her think.” She also famously said, “Oh, what fresh hell is this?” which has become part of my daily vocabulary. Especially with Mr. Trump as President. (I must say, that I did like Dorothy Parker’s, “If all the girls from Yale were laid end-to-end … well, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.” Kind of made me want to visit Yale.) ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > (I must say, that I did like Dorothy Parker’s, “If all the girls from Yale were laid end-to-end … well, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.” Kind of made me want to visit Yale.) Which is odd, because Yale didn’t start accepting women until 2 years after Parker died. ---

The quote as I find it reads: > “If all the girls attending [the Yale prom] were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be at all surprised.” > ― Dorothy Parker, [While Rome Burns](https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/471235) That makes more sense, if Yale did not accept women yet. The other quotes are a nice morning rabbit hole. ---
