They don’t make a gun small enough to hide under that guy’s rancid little snail, my friend.

He’s never had to learn to be a good liar, has he? There’s a scene in the Inbetweeners where two of the lads try to buy weed off the school bully, and in their full view he empties a tea bag into some cling film and demand 20 quid for it - then forces them to say that the tea is weed, and thank you for selling it to…

I assume there’s a legal difference between lying to James Comey over dinner and lying to an FBI officer as part of a ongoing investigation. Not to defend Trump, don’t get me wrong - I’m just saying this is, sadly, probably just the 1,342,813rd example of him being an unethical, immoral, sociopathic worm as opposed to…

It’s MF Doom, ergo villain. Surely?

There are any number of ex pros one could hire to crap on about toughness and distractions. Maybe focus on the ones that aren’t sex pests?

If you take it down to brass tacks, what you’re fundamentally saying is that this administration is inevitably always going to be stuffed with assholes, crooks and scumbags - and there’s no point celebrating the demise of an asshole who’s just going to be replaced by a crook.

To be fair, I strongly suspect that Kushner’s personal dedication to the cause of prison reform is only going to increase in the next couple of years.

“The Government Vying to Build the Border Wall Is Shady as Hell”

Personally, I had an attack of the vapors and the house boy has been fanning me as I delicately sip some sweet tea having recovered from my faint.

In other countries, the government subsidises salaries for medical staff to work in rural areas or offers favourable immigration conditions to trained medical staff to makeup shortfalls. You went straight to doctors being force-marched to Montana at gunpoint, but, y’know, options I guess.

Englishman living in Australia here. When our son was born, in 2012, the total medical cost to us was $0. My wife also got a government payment (the “baby bonus”) to assist with early care costs. They’re reduced that a lot now, but it still exists. The country seems to have avoided becoming a debt-addled,…

Then he could fight a Russian, take a transparent dive in round one and spend the next four years claiming to have won.

Lose a mark for “Russia or China”. The correct answer was “Europe or China”.

I liked “David Dennison”.

I think this is a situation where they’re going to have to cop it. The Australian public appears to be utterly incensed about this, and if I was advising either Smith or Warner I’d be saying “this is going to suck either way, but your best bet is to take the punishment, keep quiet and then go for a redemption tour in…

The response to the incident has been multitudes worse in the Australian media and from Australian fans than it has been internationally, though. This isn’t a vindictive international cricketing media/fan base sticking it to the Aussies, it’s a genuinely shocked and appalled domestic response.

It wasn’t a frank admission of guilt though, was it? He lied about the method used (to make it seem somewhat less orchestrated) and dissembled about the people involved (to try to spread the blame a bit, it has been suggested).

The cognitive dissonance is astonishing. “You guys hate politicians, because you believe they’re all corrupt and have done things they should be in jail for. Since all politicians are corrupt and have done things they should be in jail for you might as well vote for this guy, who is corrupt and has been to jail.”

Australia also act as self-appointed arbiters of what counts as “playing hard but fair” and what is “stepping over the line”. This series against South Africa has already been controversial based on players sledging each other (what you’d call “trash talking”), and as usual the Australians have been vocally serving it…

So... when he’s in the primary, you fight - hard - for a more progressive candidate. If he wins the primary anyway, you vote for him and you fight - even harder - for him to win the general. Then you work within your party for progressive values next time round. And you keep working, and keep voting. And repeat. This…
