Oh, but the necktie still does its thing. The bottom of it is showing, pointing to his dick, such as it is.

He may not know how to make a fist, but he got his thumbs in the picture. He’s got a thing about his thumbs.

Well, for an online community, we Do respect and care for our fellow posters, most diverse and competent in different disciplines. Many of us have come to see one another as far flung family through all of our time here together, and twenty years together does create a bond. And some of us serve as court jesters… :clown_face:
Welcome to our mad-cap family.

It seems that if the US military will help our president rape Venezuela, with its jungles and mountains, they will be so much happier to assist with Greenland. I guess we are now finding why this regime’s cabinet doesn’t want anyone reminding the military of their duty to oppose illegal orders.

Not sure how credible. But we are truly f*d if the warmongers think they have some magic weapon that won’t result in American deaths sooner or later.

Recalls all the reporting about “Havana syndrome.”

The enigma began in 2016, when personnel at the U.S. embassy in Havana experienced headaches, dizziness, and insomnia after hearing strange loud sounds or feeling a sensation of pressure. “The symptoms are real, distressing, and very difficult to treat,” says Leighton Chan, chief of rehabilitation medicine at NIH’s Clinical Center.

At the time, then–Secretary of State Rex Tillerson blamed a deliberate “health attack.” Heightening the mystery, the Department of State revealed in June 2018 that diplomats in the U.S. consulate in Guangzhou, China, had fallen ill with similar symptoms. Cases later cropped up in Austria and other countries, and among government employees based in the United States.
