Gus Leonisky's blogthe donald may be a pussy-grabber, the previous tenants were pimps...I could be totally wrong but I have a feeeling that we’ve all been Trumped. Trump has been bombastic, chauvinistic, illogical, anti-stuff and yet the result of what he’s done is giving us a greater sense of what we need to do. That is far better than should Hillary got her patroness mittens on the handles of power, we would have been sold more pups.
have you all lost your senses over there?... yes we have...Pressed by Megyn Kelly on his ties to President Trump, an exasperated Vladimir Putin blurted out, “We had no relationship at all. … I never met him. … Have you all lost your senses over there?” Yes, Vlad, we have.
we are getting numb between the ears...John Henry’s transfixing play “Republic For Which We Stand” sounds the tocsin against the chosen people mentality that fuels perpetual war, one-branch government, and limitless surveillance in the United States. That un-starry-eyed message is leavened with recurring humor, satire and comedy that capture the full spectrum of vices and foibles in all their moods and tenses. Our Founding Mothers and Founding Fathers come to life, warts and all, to remind us of what made America great.
who the devil does he thinks he is?....European integration as a concept is impossible to argue with. However, the EU as it currently stands is clearly dysfunctional and out of sync with the needs of the vast majority of its citizens. It is being run in the interests of a neoliberal elite that consider national sovereignty and political stability anathema to the priority of being able to rake as much of a return from short-term investment as and where the opportunity arises. It is this perverse and grotesque interpretation of ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ that has dominated the institutions of the EU, plunging them into crisis in the wake of the global economic crisis of 2007/08.
no influence whatsoever...ASIO has warned the major parties about taking donations from two billionaires because its intelligence reveals worrying links to the Chinese Communist Party.
oil crisis...oil crisis... On Monday, over half-a-dozen Arab and Muslim states led by Saudi Arabia cut off relations with Qatar, ostensibly over the latter's support for terrorism and interference in other countries' internal affairs. Speaking to Sputnik, George Washington University professor Atef Abdel Jawad commented on the US position in this diplomatic crisis.
new invention needed: the recyclable poopa scoopa... the donald is not working on it...
trickle down or suck the middle?...Famous excerpt (probably made up) from a conversation between Colbert and Mazarin under LOUIS XIV:
Colbert: To find money, there comes a time when fiddling is not enough anymore. I would like the Superintendent to explain how we go about spending even when we are already in debt ...
Mazarin: When one is a mere mortal, of course, and one is covered with debts, one goes to prison. But the State ... The State is different. You can not throw the state into jail. Then the state continues, adds to the debt! All states do that.
Colbert: Oh yes? You think that works?
