That’s what the Boeing CEO keeps saying.

(Seriously, though, I’m done with the dad jokes, thanks for the ops!:)) )

“Because it really gets you, y’know?”

“But we’ll do it anyway!”

It really is mind boggling, to say “just give it to them” to a nation that’s being invaded by Stalin’s fucking ghost in the XXIst Century…

Good point… god damn it…

Think the problem is they don’t much boing, either…

I just can’t get these people… Do they seriously believe the nonsense they’re spouting, or do they believe that we believe it?

I say double them digits, babe!

My brain wanted to ask what Lego set that was…

Oh, how the true vermin emerge again…

Man, Rotten’ll have a renaissance if they plan on keeping the propellers like that…

Oh, sod off, Liz…

It’s a Boomer joke, yes =))

It was a joke, an old running one, making light of people (frequently resurrected among Millenials) who have books on display. The jest is that people like to display books they’ll never read in order to look smarter. Like the old trope of wearing glasses achieving the same goal.

I manually remove the auto upvote:D

I wonder how people will show off all of the books they haven’t read, what with analogs going out of stye and all.

You may be right. I was basing my initial hunch on the fact that he seems to be almost impressively vulnerable for a bona fide narcissist, “The Orange Man” would still highlight him as significant.

My past relationships make sense now, the Universe was Mr. Miyagi-ing me into a machine for punching Nazis!

I’m starting to be convinced this is one of the many intrinsic flaws to the way we’re governing ourselves. It’s an inevitable slippery slope, we’ll keep ending up having to deal with it periodically as long as we don’t change stuff in significant ways.

Edit: I think we need to approach them as our body would a splinter, or a zit. Just squeeze’em out. As I see it, Fascism is fundamentally inimical to life itself, could even compare it to a viral infection. Sure, some infection is inevitable even when squeezing out the splinter, but chances are good that it won’t develop beyond anything superficial if we provide an appropriate immune response and treatment afterwards.

I’ll still call him The Orange Man, would do it to his face. I get the feeling it’s one of those insults which he plays off like a cool guy because he can’t afford an honest reaction, but is eating him up deep inside. I can’t miss out on that possibility.

Merkel was a plant. I get the feeling most of Merkel’s phone is spam, ads, and poorly focused photos. Fitting sacrifice to keep the spies thinking they were winning.
