Muskrat's new car is called the "Wankpanzer"

Yeah, seems to be a popular one in the UK.  I've heard UK members at another science forum referring to it as such.  To me it looks like a cross between a dumpster and a Transformer.

Saw where even the racoons confused it for a dumpster 😂

Well, he wanted futuristic. The Tesla Cybercar is to car as Doctor Who cyberman is to man.

All those tuxedos, all that snow....must be Davos.

Not an actual Turkish proverb apparently, but comes in handy nonetheless,

 

Testing

Just wanted to check something with y'all; has anyone received their deep state checks that we are supposed to get for being anti-trump? Haven't seen the money yet and it's getting really difficult to pretend that I have eyes, ears and a brain.

It takes a while to go through the laundering process so it can’t be traced back to Soros.

I think Soros is still recalibrating his space lasers. And I think the autopen for the checks broke. Also, now that the first post is highlighted, does anyone else find the original post from INow slightly ironic now?

Ahhh see now I thought it was because the checks were going to be delivered by car but they were out of break light fluid?

And I don't know if it was ironic or just very very accurate and I guess we just have to ask him if he thinks they've now gone completely extinct! Unless they've flipped the script and are now just being conservative with morality in general.

China trolling America.

China trolling America.

You can't see me, but I'm the fully dressed European with a tricorder at the back, behind young Gandalf. I'm wearing my command red Starfleet uniform (Next gen is my favourite although I'll be damned if Pike isn't giving it a run for it's money!) to highlight what the contrast actually feels like. It's all so stressingly fascinating, in a terrifying way.

Starting an argument over the best Star Trek

LMAO. (tears literally running down my cheeks....good god that is outstandingly and hilariously transgressive) And I had been reflecting on the passing of His Holiness today, wondering what sort of karmic structure in a universe would have a champion of the poor and oppressed, an advocate for stewardship of the Earth, a reformer of deep compassion and tolerance.... have JD Vance as his last official visitor. If there's some ultimate being, it has a weird sense of humor.

You are not cunning enough. What if the passing was the result of the visit..

A stroke, like a heart attack, can be caused by nervousness and prolonged stress. Adrenaline is released, blood vessels shrink, cholesterol plaques break off, clogging blood vessels and less oxygen reaches a certain area of the brain.

I suspect that was Francis making one last effort on behalf of humanity.

It is in the wrong subforum, I think. This is politics. It's no fun at all, and I fully agree with the text.

What could help against this 'loop'? I am not sure. Every action from 'the higher elites' to limit Trump's actions, would stimulate protests. It could be one step to a civil war (you may call me a pessimist...). And don't even imagine to impeach him. Maybe it is also too much for certain republicans (you may call me an optimist...). But no, that would be a huge step to a civil war.

The only thing I can think of to stress again and again that the economy gets worse and worse, and people feel it in their pockets.

E.g, one could say that 'just buy two dolls for your child, instead of 30." You may call me a cynic... Even that is already in the loop.

But a +1 anyway, not because it is funny, it is not; but is a very good description of the situation.

In an interview in Rome, Cardinal Timothy Dolan (Archbishop of New York since 2009) referred to the ‘Pope’ image of Trump as a brutta figura

The phrase is used in Italian to denote “a crude, grotesque, or deformed image” -  the opposite of a bella figura.
