But colloquially speaking, I think,In a situation were an English speaker says “Fucking xxxx” an Spanish speaker could very well say “Malditos xxxxx” so, I would respectfully submit that it’s a good translation. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > President Donald Trump appeared to threaten Iranian peace negotiators with assassination Sunday (quoted from @Smapti’s link) Maybe Trump is engaged in some reverse psychology here. Maybe he’s trying to get the Iranians to assassinate Vance. ---

What’s the President’s domestic agenda? Fixing a pool. And building a ballroom. It’s so fucking weird that this is reality. ---

Fixing a pool… and blaming imaginary vandals for the damage. Give that man nukes! ---

Time was a senile old man shouting about imaginary vandals was a sign to take the keys away and call the nice folks from the rest home. These days, it’s apparently a sign of genius ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > I don’t hate it. 🤔 All the Iranians need is a nice couch and some barbed wire they can stick between the cushions. My most paranoid thought is that Trump wants Iran to bump JD off because if that happens, he’ll be allowed to play with the nuclear toys. ---

I was at a party this weekend and brought along a special drink I made – vanilla milk tinted a sickly green, poured into clear plastic cups that had the bottom lined with blue decorating frosting. I called it “The Reflecting Pool” Ihave seen other recipes for drinks that are opaque green over a blue foundation, most of them alcoholic. But there were kids at the party I went to, so I wanted something everyone could drink. Actually, I suspect the color put a lot of people off. Like the time I hosted an April Fool’s dinner party and served blue dinner rolls. ---
