Poor little righty snowflake with his intellectually challenged views wants to be noticed and play with the big boys.

Hilarious.

And, as ever, playing the victim. What a profound lack of self-respect. Poor Hully.

Anyone watching the BBC2 series on Trump (perhaps this should be on the what are you watching on TV thread).
It is gripping watching, even if I am looking through my fingers

Excellent description here of the US electoral college system.

It's democracy, Jim, but not as we know it!

Madness.
However, I suggest this model be used to elect the leader of FUFA. We don't want any lack of clarity around Moon FC and its competitions.

Someone should tell them that they cant shoot a virus dead.
Aside from a few discerning Imps fans, they are a strange breed over there. Led by the strangest of all.

My wife saw an article on the news, that Walmart, the supermarket chain, sells guns, and normally has them on display. Apparently they've taken them off display, but you can still buy one and put it in your shopping trolley - if it fits, cos it aint just handguns!!

Discussing this with a leftie compadre back in the 80s, he did point out, laconically:

"Yeah, but they do have the best-armed proletariat in the world". 🤣

This is an outdoor supply shop in Canada, huge chain of massive shops (camping, fishing and hunting, everything you could possibly want for any of those activities)

That rack of guns goes round to the right and extends as far again as is in the picture, including shotguns both pump and semi-auto



And that is Canada, now imagine what the US is like...

There's no need to gender-stereotype gun nuts in the USA. 😉

Actually (and I kid you not) that is probably a "My first gun" aimed at young girls / women
