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.

Expand full comment

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. :-)

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.

Zazzy, I understood your comment, and mine was completely in jest - even if not too jesty - as if in real life.

MFM is a threesome - male/female/male, MF is a conventional couple, male/female, and hard ass is sort of derogatory - someone hardheaded, inflexible, obstinate, set in their ways.

Reread in these contexts and it'll make more sense but won't gain any humor. I need a humor coach in 2025, either you or Janos - maybe Dreamy.

Thanks for the clarification, Ron. This sort of communication-- hardly natural-- doesn't always translate well, so I wouldn't bother myself too much about it. Personally, I feel positively swamped sometimes with all the text 'washing over my screen'. Maybe some night after an especially gruelling day, I'll have a nightmare that I'm stuck in quicksand composed of text or that it's chasing me through the neighbourhood.

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.

Expand full comment

The Taliban was killing soldiers in 2020 right up until Trump surrendered! So you prefer the 45 troops lost under Trump in Afghanistan than the 13 troops lost under Biden?? And during TrumpтАЩs haphazard withdrawal from Syria 4 soldiers were killed in a terrorist bombing including Joe KentтАЩs wifeтАжdo you prefer KentтАЩs wifeтАЩs death to the soldiers killed at Abbey Gate? Or is 4 an acceptable number of deaths in a withdrawal and 13 too many?? Right now the thing that makes the most sense is you support bacha bazi because nothing else you say makes any sense.

You need to clean out your crack pipe. Your original assertion that Trump "surrendered" in Afghanistan is woke mind-virus delusional bullshit and provably false. Sorry Propaganda Boy, repeating the lie doesn't make it true. So, there's that, and that assertion is a non-starter. Period.

Under Trump, we still had troops, $85 Billion in military hardware and Bagram Air Base - all of which Biden lost in retreat - tail tucked between his legs.

Let me be clear, it should be understood that whenever anyone mentions "Biden", they are referring to the cabal of idiots pulling his strings.

Since January 20, 2020, and before - he can't remember what he had for breakfast. Not a bad political strategy, but the Achille's heel is that the cabal is no smarter than he is. Having a sclerotic imbecile up front is fine, but...

Withdrawal from Syria? We still have double the troops there in NE Syria, than has been reported - still protecting (read stealing) Syrian oil, along with the Kurds, our proxy, in order to destabilize the Assad Regime - the only way because Putin boxed them out.

Putin - one man, smarter and more strategically adept than 50 fucksticks in the current US State Department, DOD and Pentagon, put together.

The 45 troops lost in Afghanistan under Trump, were combatants in defensive posture. The 13 lost under Biden were lost in a FUBAR retreat.

Big difference.

The pedophile bullshit is pure projection - get your mind and your d**k out of the gutter Tekapo, before Jim shitcans you again.
