Thanks for sharing their names.

Thank you, Rosalind. Obviously, there are many more, these seem to represent the depth (and egregious length) of the travesty. Think about those terms. For what? They are political prisoners. I've said before, if DJT does not pardon them and commute their sentences, in very short order - I'm off the Trump Train.

The millions of Indians he intends to bring in hasn't gotten you off the train? If not, why not? John explained his position to me yesterday: It hasn't happened yet so I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Down with all prediction! There goes more than half of our science, hard, social, military, and economic. Now THAT's weak.

Its similar to the "we have to pass the bill to know what's in the bill" argument.

Off the Trump train? And hopping onto exactly what? Pray, tell us about your viable options? Join the far left? Great idea! Ex-pat? Better idea.

Farther right, JAZ, just to the right of Genghis Khan.

Genghis was worshiped as a god by his followers, and by extension, his family as well. So that is an extreme form of monarchy. I imagine old Jer was thinking along the lines of no government at all, the silly fuck. I admit it sounds good, but it is inexact. Many people "to the right of Genghis Khan" view things quite differently than the Ayn Rand cult.

WasnтАЩt that author Jerry PournelleтАЩs position?

(At least in jest to make a point)

Rob - could be, I heard the expression probably 40(?) years ago. Mine the same - in jest to make a point - but not far off the truth. :-)

My smilies have no nose.

Trying to avoid the facial recognition scans, are you?

Kind of live with you and Dreamy reminds me of my old IRC chat days. It's a slightly different headspace. I can do it but it takes slight adjustment.

8) <-- Here's a smiley with glasses on to help avoid your facial recognition. (I also have tape over my laptop cam and avoid the fingerprint-reader. But they're closing in.)

Here, try these:

" 8-) "

Nice, they suit you. But your nose is a dead giveaway, to say nothing of your obvious old-school smilies.

I think Dreamy finally went to bed.

MFM? You know I'm a hard ass. She's absolutely precious - think MF, and the Coffeehouse partnership. I'm just a peripheral Menu Consultant. 8-)

Unsure I understand what you mean exactly, Ron, and what's MFM, MF or what is 'hard ass' in reference to? When I wrote 'live', incidentally, I meant 'real-time' or 'online at the same time' or 'not a recording'.

IRC (internet relay chat) is/was more like the phone, rather than a bulletin board. Substack is more like a bulletin board, even if users can sometimes be online simultaneously. Live chatting can't be edited after it's sent, so as I wrote, it requires a slightly different headspace.

Trump surrendered to the TalibanтАФstrength through weakness!!

Another day another troll.

I believe you meant to say Biden surrendered tucked tail and ran from the Taliban.

Your hero left behind 80 million in American weaponry.

Biden the definition of an absolute loser in everything he ever did and touched.

...and I THINK the 'complaint' by The Orange Fuckface was $80 BILLION (not million. Even when you troll a troll, you cannot get simple facts right.

Thanks for the correction and for a return on such kidness... As the old saying goes fuck off.

Ah, good ol' "little benr", jumping down the throat of anyone who doesn't kiss Trump's ass. It;s been fucking YEARS and it;s still just as boring & predictable.

Simple solution don't read my posts nor respond to them a win win.

Trump wisely surrendered to the Taliban when he discovered our Afghan partners raped children. Cry more, pedo apologist!!

More projection from the village idiot.

The Village Idiot is doing the projecting here, benr - look in the mirror, you twat.

You first if one survives your nasty visage or like medusa will you turn yourself to stone?

So you think IтАЩm an тАЬidiotтАЭ because I donтАЩt support child rapists?? I want the Taliban and child rapists to kill each other while we sit in Qatar and watch. Well, you are in good company with Bush and Cheney and Epstein supporting child rapists.

Expand full comment

Might be I mistook the direction of your snipe as being at me instead of a generalized insult to pedo supporters.

If that is the case, I apologize because I at least agree with your assessment that child molesters should burn in hell.

You supported pedos in Afghanistan if you donтАЩt support TrumpтАЩs surrender to the Taliban. Do you think the Afghans we were helping in Afghanistan were the тАЬgoodтАЭ Muslims?? lol ЁЯШЭ

Expand full comment

No such thing.

Your shooting mixed messages!

I did support an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan that did not happen under Joe Biden.
