Thrasher: Are you telling me there's something running around loose in the city, ripping out people's hearts and eating them so he can take their souls back to hell? Dick Durkin: Looks that way. Stone: Hallelujah. youtu.be/qISRH7WuFs0?...

Even the false opposition parties, that dictators in some post Berlin Wall countries created, were not so appallingly appeasing as Democrats are. After decades of bringing butter knives to the fight, they now just eat cucumber sandwiches they buttered ;)

And here are the things done by present party out of power: - appeasement - cucumber sandwiches

At some point (*) Americans may have to choose between either waiting for few remaining institutions to mitigate things or deciding that only mass protests are left "working". (*) Hopefully if latter is ever chosen, it will not produce some Pulitzer wining coverage like Tiananmen or Trang Bang.

This old Radio Yerevan joke aged really, really poorly ;) Q: What is the difference between the Constitutions of the USA and USSR? Both guarantee freedom of speech. A: Yes, and the US Constitution also guarantees freedom after speech.

Vegas, Baby! And it ends with One More Casino Trump Drove Into Ground.

Zigackly!

The Tall Guy, Emma, Jeff, Mr. Bean and Madness! Still probably have the 35 years old pirated VHS tape somewhere 😎 Btw, though I'm not sure you got the full experience - not only has US version replaced much of British slang, cut portions, but there's no Suggs from Madness in It's Only Love scene

The joke will soon be relevant in US, only with Trump's Central Committee instead of "Central Committee of the USSR"

Elon is a direct descendant of that Soviet army sergeant teaching basic science to recruits - Water boils at 90 degrees - Comrade sergeant, water boils at 100, interrupts recruit, a student - Shut up! Next class: - The student was right, water boils at 100, the Right Angle boils at 90 degrees.

A distinction without a difference, as very soon they will be one and the same (CIA|KGB) entity, with same Big Boss and same goals. And same Gulags to populate with "enemies".

Ha! Brisbane WTA/ATP has ingenious solution for towels - instead of players having to walk to the towel box or ball "attendants" having to bring them and collect sweaty towels, they opted for - bringing the towel in the basket to the players 👍😄
