Pretty clever actually.

The glove didn’t fit because it was all dried up and crinkled from being kept as evidence for so long. They had him try on new gloves of the same type and they fit fine.

Remember the cadet at West Point who was about to graduate, who was photographed with a ‘COMMUNISM WILL WIN’ card under his hat he was about to wear while walking across the stage to get his diploma?

Hmm…I would disagree. The US is the Saudi Arabia of food. Well over self-sufficient and a major exporter. We were also (briefly, under Trump) self-sufficient in energy. No need for energy = no more Middle East wars.

But of course nobody wants the wars to end, so a flimsy excuse like “we don’t need the oil any more” won’t fly at all.

I chalk it up to a failure of imagination. Europe has for so long suckled at the US teat that having ideas of their own seems an utterly foreign concept. They could…but they’d have to cast off 80 years of what they’ve long been accustomed to.

The really hilarious part is Trump wanted to take Europe behind the woodshed for being useless, sanctimonious freeloaders. Now the deep state is doing it instead. They’re going to get all the credit.

To act fairly would be to follow the rules. To act capriciously is to be the rules.

Is that the one where the female lead gets raped over and over? Might want to put a content warning and spoiler tag on that.

It’s because the public schools fell down on the job over, and over, and over, and over. With bureaucrats, taking their influence away is the only thing they understand. The kids don’t really have anything to do with it.

I remember one of those old-fashioned “Demotivator” posters with a picture of Khan from Star Trek II with his face bloodied when he’s trying to self-destruct the Reliant and take Kirk out with him and the caption “Spite: it’s not about me winning, it’s about you losing”
