“we don’t like tariffs on the whole” is some pretty bare faced cheek from Boris-isn’t-actually-my-name Johnson considering he’s apparently hell bent on careening out of the EU via his patented Halloween no-deal special non-offer...

I think part of the problem may be that they don’t think he can understand substantive questions, let alone provide answers...& as for the ones who don’t speak english...they’re to busy trying to figure out why their translation service is producing gibberish to even try...

I thank any & all of the gods I’m pretty sure I don’t believe in that it was a short post...but at the same time, if there is an almighty creator I’d love for them to come out & publicly admit that the warranty on humanity has expired...

as it happens I’m not at all convinced that being a prince will save him if it turns out that there’s fire under the smoke we’ve seen so far...

maybe he lost those extra inches when he had those pesky bone spurs removed...?

for the record that should read humble-bernie-stan...& since they apparently can’t abide being responded to directly...

there’s a difference between observation & obsession BO...but you won’t be hearing from me much in future since I just got relieved of my pending status on Splinter...so I’d be doing you a favor you absolutely don’t deserve...

kind of a combination of things, I guess...although I flatter myself I did more than try...for all that it seems not to have been clear to you...

couldn't happen to a more deserving commenter...you're definitely not alone on that score...

since he has that dismiss button on his usual hair trigger (gone before the edit window closed) I’m just going to leave this here...it was in response to Baracka’s shortest bit of posturing, which went like this...

brave of you to post at the weekend BO...& if you’d gone with “royalty” instead of merely rich you might even have made a point for a change...

it says something that when I first came across this story my first thought wasn’t “well, I guess they should be aware of what’s out there so it doesn’t surprise them” but “that’s sloppy work”...

similarly I wouldn’t say weed is unequivocally good for you...but it can be good for what ails you...

I follow the rhetorical device far enough to grasp your point but fall short of being able to tell if that last question is rhetorical as well or if you honestly pose it...

I certainly can’t justify you being anywhere...least of all in this thread...

no...just a moron...

“You justify this to me."

“You don’t know me at all, but you’re perfectly willing to make judgements about me based on my skin. What’s that called again?”

“why the fuck should we pay for the healthcare for people in this country illegally? ”

let me get this straight...your argument for not being the things you present yourself as being is that you don’t understand the terms you invoke but remain convinced you know better than the rest of the world that has a rough agreement about their meanings...so you’re “not racist” just mindbendingly stupid & bone…
