that's actually a typical american past time. rip out all the old beautiful trees, then pump chemicals into lawn and water everyday so it doesn't dry  out.

Wrong thread!

This should have been posted in the Autechre - SIGN thread. Comparing these colours to the new artwork, I guess we might get an Autechre going old-school on us! F-ing awesome ;D

I'll post it on the 808th page of the Sign thread! 

You have to be fucking kidding me, I thought this was the Onion for a second.

Obviously an attempt to deflect from this court case against the wife of former Minister of Justice in Norway:

ah yes, "land development" as it's called. raze anything that isn't making any money, in order to put something there that makes money. the american fucking dream in a nutshell, dudes. I mean are those beautiful, old, gentle, life-preserving trees making any money? no! so fuck 'em. rip them out and lay down sod (sod company gets paid), fertilizer (fertilizer company gets paid), water it (utility company gets paid), then have landscapers come in to manicure it (boss gets paid, illegal immigrants doing the labor get next to nothing - oh yeah, those are the good kind of illegals. you know, the ones that cook our cheesborgers and cut our grass. the wall is designed to only keep out drug dealers and rapists. the rest are ok. well maybe they are, maybe some aren't. we'll see).

oh no. I feel bubbling up inside a long winded leftist rant coming on. watmm what have you done to me. thanks @cyanobacteria

Nobel Peace Prize has effectively lost meaning at this point. Aung San Suu Kyi was a recipient, yet ended up on trial for genocide against the Rohingya in Myanmar.

Slovenian prostitutes don't usually tend to also be skilled arborists or renovators of historic gardens. They have other skills though, like marrying punters for money and inexplicably becoming first lady of the united states

total lack of surprise. god.. i hope he's on tape.

still won't matter though. he could be on tape openly mocking all his supporters, laughing at what a con job he's pulled on all them, and saying he hopes they all die from corona virus, and they'd still flock to his rallies and vote en masse for him.

agreed.. and a bunch of other idiots will vote for him because they're afraid of socialism even though they don't know what that is.. but somehow joe biden is a socialist. 

there may be some swing voters (other idiots) who go towards biden because of this 'scandal' which is weird when there's been a revelation like this every month for 3 years but they still just couldn't decide who they'd vote for because IDIOTS. 

What's more troubling are all the Republican congressmen and women that are basically condoning his behavior by not speaking out against him.  I mean how far can this go until they determine that the damage outweighs the "gains".

power is more important to them than anything. they won't give up power if they don't have to. they'll abandon democracy before they give up power.

The best case scenario I can think of is that they're afraid that if they speak out against him, their constituents will vote them out and vote in completely crazy Trump loyalists and once they get a critical mass in Congress it's game over.  Maybe they're trying to weather the storm and hide until they can bring the GOP back to some semblance of what it used to be.

Or they could just be greedy assholes who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves.

I don't wanna hear no bullshit today about how the 9/11 attacks were worse than COVID deaths this year. If any Trump supporters make a statement like this, they deserve a full durian lodged between their ass cheeks

knowing trump, I'd expect him to praise the 9/11 attacks today. "a beautiful moment for our country" or some other insane trumpism that tries to twist a disaster into a positive.

@dcom posted a really good article here recently, and one thing the author stated is that trump isn't thinking, he's selling. he is constantly in sales mode, and we all know sales people are prone to embellish, bend the rules, turn negatives to positives, and lie in order to get what they need in order to get paid.
