Trump: "We are doing this to help Israel, to help Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, and other countries, as well as Bahrain.'"
Trump; "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.”
Trump: "I don't want to say we're making a fortune ... because if I say it, they're going to say, 'He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.!"
What an asshole!
So, two Corinthians walk into a bar ...
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them". - Two Commandment
"The F-word in Pennsylvania is not fuck. It’s Fetterman,” says Chris Rabb. That's all I need to know. He's got my vote. Vote early and often on Tuesday!
Happy Freitag. Yet another day that ends in Tag. In this case, it's named after a Nordic Goddess called Freyja. Her name means Lady. (Treat your ladies correctly.) She rode around in a chariot drawn by cats. I'm assuming she didn't get very far unless there was someone leading them on with lots of Churu. It's not bandcamp Friday but check out my bandcamp, anyway. Kink in bio.
Kowtow means to kneel and touch your forehead to the ground to show deep respect or submission. Derived from Chinese (koutou, meaning "knock the head"), it was a traditional gesture of reverence in imperial China. In modern English, it is used more casually (and critically) to describe acting in a servile way, sucking up, or obeying someone in authority.
Everything is going great in Chiiina. Very nuanced negotiations. Master Po said his boilerplate bs and then Master Poo in pants responded:
"Trump ... delivered a toast that included cheerful references to the “Chinese workers” who helped build the transcontinental railroad — a notoriously brutal process for those workers that killed thousands." - @yahoonews
Lots of Chinese restaurants. We have so many. Don't we love them biggly? He also told Xi about how the US taught them to read, or something. Didn't mention the whole opium thing or that the Chinese created paper money.
Also, not mentioned:
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, a landmark U.S. federal law signed by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882, which suspended Chinese laborer immigration for 10 years and prohibited Chinese residents from becoming naturalized citizens. It was the first significant US law to ban a specific ethnic group, later made permanent and extended to other Asian groups by the Immigration Act of 1924. [Chester A. Arthur, 21st president, featured in Die Hard 3. HS 21. Look it up]
Snatch the pebble, Grasshopper. That's pretty much the extent of his knowledge of China.
Here's me making a rare appearance @fountainporter with @phreexch_jacy with my new Dolphins hat from @mondo_trasho62 . Thanks for hanging for a bit with us @hororvacui and @poptiny I told Jacy to take his glasses off for a second. Jeez! He looks like the Terminator with the reflection. I'll be baaaack. (I don't think I'm that jowely. It's the lighting.)
I wonder where these guys got the idea that this is super cool to post on social media with impunity?
Netanyahu: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good."
Your taxpayer money being well spent to provide them with free education and healthcare. For some reason, though, we just can't seem to find the money for Americans here at home. 🤔
I'd forgotten about this little gem. I was writing about one of my favorite Philly bands from back in the day, The Downtown Club with April @harkinsapril and Travis. Very inspirational. It's at my bandcamp. Scroll down, there's a lot of content over the years. Wicked lead on that track!
I just refound this little snippet of my gig @brickbatphilly back on the 7th that @phreexch_jacy sent. It's basically the same thing I was trying to get to, on the piece I just posted to @blaring_racket (There is no refund.)
