Note that this is “Drawn from the Bible” and not “Drawn from Jesus’ teachings.”

The first part teaches “an eye for an eye” and contains the origins of what became sharia law. Also multiple examples of how to genocide.

Hey, maybe teachers will teach children in Texas how to tie a turban or live in booths!

Ah, good. I was wondering what had happened to Dan.

I think he’s on to something; D and R tickets have been poisoned; a new worker’s movement is needed that is proudly independent and runs at municipal, state and federal levels. No need to chase POTUS — if enough independents get seats in the senate, they’ll hold the balance of power. There’s only 100 seats, and all they need to have an initial powerful voice is for both D and R to have fewer than 49 of those. At that point, the independents effectively decide what bills get passed and what bills get defeated.

That’s the way to weaponize incompetence.

He’d be the ambassador to Russia.

I’m wondering about Hulk Hogan though.

To paraphrase Vizzini:

“Wait until they get going! Now where were they?”

It all came from SNL and the characters they played on there.

Is this a follow-up to my observation about appointments potentially terminating well before Trump is even sworn in?

I think we landed on using negative mooches.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if they were able to crater the entire operation before he even takes office?

What would that do to measuring in Scaramuccis, if his entire slate is fired months before he can officially hire them?

They both somehow fit the situation.

He’s run a good grift living on other people’s money.

I’ve got “Hotel California” and “San Francisco” battling it out in my head now.

Not really; he matches the description of one of the minor henchmen that precedes The Beast.

Any drawback doing too much stair climbing?

If you do it before running, your muscles can be over-stressed at the start of a run, increasing risk of impact injuries. So make sure to give yourself recovery time after stairs before you do a hard run again.

Done in this way, you can build up your support muscles which will actually decrease the risk of running injuries.

That’s what I do… my running route has flights of stairs in it.

That’s the question, isn’t it?

China and the US are unlikely to care right now.

It’s too bad the full extent of my bitterness can’t show through in my previous statement; that’s not the country I hoped to live in, but it seems to be the one I do live in.

That said, I’ve lived in provincial and federal Conservative ridings for the past 26 years. I have no illusions about my neighbours’ political leanings, or the infinitesimal influence my vote has.

If the NDP chose a new, outspoken leader who was a straight white male, they might have a chance.

How does this benefit him though? Having the ports open benefits the country and the executive class at the expense of the employees, but it doesn’t directly affect Trudeau.

It DOES benefit Pollievre though.

It usually takes a Canadian Bacon moment where the US actually tries to take part of our sovereign territory by force.

Of course, that’s assuming Trump doesn’t get his wish and Pollievre becomes PM. Because in that case, we’ll likely be too busy fighting our own fascist battles up here to even respond.

Look at a map of where Bangladeshi shipping has to go.
