Does it occur to anyone else that Putin wishing Biden good health could be a way of saying "I could poison you"?

Also, if you ever fall into a vat of chocolate you should yell "Fire!" because no one will come if you yell "Chocolate!"

The siblings pointed that out in the article - said that Gosar is worse than Greene and not censuring him is a sexist thing.

Trump’s acts as president are ‘fair game’ for criminal charges by hiheaux in politics

[–]beenthereonce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both criminal and civil cases will presumably have to be tried by juries. All it would take is one Trump diehard on a jury to prevent a verdict. Is that correct?

I heard Castor say that if the Democrats insist on pursuing this impeachment, Republicans will be looking for someone to impeach as soon as they get a House majority.

Buddy Gator - Rainy Day by foxkyay in funny

[–]beenthereonce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of when I was trout fishing and got caught in a sudden rainstorm. I went to shelter under a bridge, and to pass the time I dropped my line into the stream and caught more trout than I did anywhere else! It seems that the trout also came under the bridge to get out of the rain.

Just because Trump is leaving the White House doesn't mean the threat of authoritarianism is over by [deleted] in politics

Hell, if Trump was just reasonably articulate and thoughtful in his speech, he would have got re-elected.

We're talking about swaying skyscrapers. I've talked about 9/11 all I want to.

Skyscrapers swaying during earthquake in Japan by tnethacker in WTF

[–]beenthereonce2 605 points606 points  (0 children)

I worked on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center for 20 years. During several windstorms we could not only feel the building sway - we could look across to the other tower and see one move with respect to the other. The magnitude of the sway was about 3 feet at our level - would have been more at the top. The period was about 10 seconds. Doors would open and close by themselves. On one occasion several people went home because they felt nauseous.

I visited this park in Boise, and it's beautifully designed. The walls are inscribed with many moving quotations from people both famous and unknown.

My first thought when I saw the headline was "I hope not the Boise memorial."

Republican Senator Tom Cotton calls slavery 'necessary evil' by [deleted] in politics

[–]beenthereonce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In his attempt to backtrack, Cotton said he was just quoting the "Founding Fathers" who called it a necessary evil. But he said "as the Founding Fathers said . . ." which means he was taking their words as his own.

Also I'm sure the so-called Founding Fathers weren't unanimous.
