Dry counties and Walmart stopping selling Alcohol on Sundays always amused me. Honestly if some of those people in the Bible Belt went to the Middle East they would feel quite at home.

There are lots of gods out there. Jesus is a brown god so not quite sure which one he’s referring to

So in around 50 years the US went from segregation to concentration camps with a little detour through DEI and equality. I wonder if the next step is just killing them? I mean it’s cheaper and easier.

In 250 years you’ve managed to get pretty extreme :) Interestingly, last night we were watching a Second World War documentary. Globalisation has been rather a short lived experiment. (although this analysis was made after quite a few whisky’s).

Help him out a window or donate radioactive underwear?

Trump is nasty and malicious. I’d say the odds of Trump removing his citizenship are greater than 50%. Elon can be deported and I’m not sure his money would stop it - he wouldn’t be sent to El Salvador though

I detest Musk, but having 2 parties drives extremism and I believe it would be best to have some competition in the mix

Don’t regret your oath. You put your life on the line for the people and country you love and cherish. I’m not going to pretend that I think it will come right, but I hope that you’ll find peace and a way forward in the country you now live in.

https://spookyconnections.com/2024/10/19/donald-trump/ This is a fascinating read about Trump.

Torn rotator cuff and tendons, broken orbital, torn bicep, broken at the elbow as well. All on my dominant hand so lots of fun and 4 months of no driving so far. Who’d have thought my worst injury after 30 years of motorbikes and skydiving would be in my house :) Long story short it was like a scene from Monty python. Son went into psychosis and attacked me. Sitting on my back and punching the hell out of me, and screaming it’s just a bruise you pussy. He had no idea or recollection afterwards. Getting this tattoo over the scar :)

Interesting article Wendy. I think we’re at a pivotal moment in history and I agree Trump is just a chess piece rather than the central figure. US influence on the world is weakening and I think most countries are looking to diversify their alliances and trading away from the US. Unfortunately, I think it’s going to bring tough changes for the US, probably more than for the rest of us. I just hope the US doesn’t lash out militarily as a last gasp at holding onto their power and influence.

Definitely top of the list if I can. At this point I can only just do an Elon Salute, and not looking like I’ll be able to get full range of motion on my arm.

You’ll need your MAGA registration card for tax breaks.

Earlier this year I got injured and skydiving is probably out of the question for me going forward. I recently got a drone to play with - it’s load’s of fun but not the same as being in the air.

Not sure if others have found this, but we’ve been rediscovering old recipes and it just struck me how cheap some of the old staples are. My son does a great spaghetti bolognaise. We’ve had the news covered extensively by the triple mushroom murderer. She made Beef Wellington with death cap mushrooms. Unfortunately that means every day the news has a great looking picture. End result I made one yesterday. Today used up the excess pastry to make Cornish pasties (I miss the Cornish Pasty shop at Marylebone station). It struck me how cheap they are to make (carrot, turnip, potato and steak). Despite the Aussie claim to have the best pies, as with Vegemite they are kidding themselves. Melton Melbury pork pies, steak and Guinness pies, Cornish pasties are hard to beat.

Every now and again I agree with Trump. His statement “They’ve been fighting for so long, they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” was spot on. Now you should deport him to El Salvador for being a Palestinian sympathiser.

It’s a slippery slope. First you don’t allow nipples on TV, then you’re an authoritarian theocracy

It’s a fair question. You don’t choose to be black, but you can choose not to be an arsehole. I’ve had a terrible experience with evangelical Christian’s. My mother has disowned me because I asked her to stop telling me “Jesus loves you”, I’ve met some really nice people who are more traditional Christian’s. Sincere and well meaning. I do think there’s a bit of a persecution complex from the Christian community. Most people don’t really care, provided we aren’t expected to follow someone else’s beliefs.

Gay, black trans woman for the win?

Change the spelling to Iraq and we can bring up 20 year old threads to rehash the same arguments.

https://youtube.com/shorts/meU_0oiPvNo?si=YnebrARJL_JBCeYA This popped up in my YouTube feed. I think it’s a great piece by a Palestinian comedian.

As a kid my first exposure to Americans back in Zimbabwe was an American Prosperity cult pastor and his wife. Even as a 10-12 year old it made me angry to see how they exploited the poor. Promising that god would reward them for “giving”. Of course they drove around in the latest Merc’s and had a huge house in an exclusive neighbourhood. They were obsessed with Pat Robinson. A few funny events with them though (in hindsight). Pastors wife sitting me down and telling me it was against god to have long hair as a man, she read from the bible verse that included women shouldn’t have short hair - she had short hair. I hated church and only time she told me I was really “filled with the Holy Spirit” I was stoned. I got caught with a “girly magazine” at about 14 and they got the congregation around to burn it and cast the spirit of lust out of me - the magazine wouldn’t burn! That freaked them out. She got knocked up with someone’s kid cheating on the husband.

I joined dz.com back in 2002, as someone in my 20’s and still indoctrinated by my evangelical parents I used to argue with Kallend about merits of Christianity. Over the last 20 years I’ve come to detest evangelicals. They are truly a poisonous lot.
