OK, but the Venn diagram of funny things and anything Gervais has ever done is two separate circles. In different buildings. On different planets.

Surely nobody is surprised by the malevolent incompetence of the Trump regime?

What you see is exactly what you’d expect when the sole qualification for any job is giving the wrong answer to the most-litigated political question this century.

Questions mount for Hegseth over possible US involvement in strike on Iranian school Democrats have written to ask the defence secretary whether the US was responsible, but he says the issue is being investigated.

Questions mount for Hegseth over “possible US involvement” in the destruction of a school in a city the US was bombarding, by a US-built Tomahawk missile.

Way to both-sides murder, BBC.

So it turns out these fuckers don’t only reject that woke guy from the Gospels, they also reject the Old Testament, which is absolutely full of rules of engagement, most of them less shitty than Kegbreath’s.

Less than 25 years from a terrorist attack driven by US destabilization of the entire Muslim world, to New York electing a Muslim pacifist as mayor.

It gives you hope.

Unlike that rancid bigot Tuberville, who can get in the sea. Especially since half the people round Mamdani are white!

Sir pTerry gave us the permanent counter to the ridiculous question of how you can have morality without monotheism.

The answer is Sam Vimes. And Sir pTerry himself, whose books are the funniest morality plays in history.

I remember when he stumbled over his words once, and the papers spent months obsessing over his cognitive decline.

Oddly, they are very quiet about the visible deterioration of the oldest president in US history. Almost as if they are not acting in good faith or something.

Yes, his first priority is stopping evil. Which is why he is fellating Putin and trying to annex Venezuela, Alaska, Greenland, and Iran, all of which - purely coincidentally - have oil.

Oil is the second greatest cause of death and human misery after religion.

I am struggling to identify the supposed problem. Is it that men with fragile egos will feel even more emasculated if their therapist doesn't have a beard?

Screw those guys. They deserve their misery.

From Wikipedia:

Research from the Brennan Center, "indicates that more than 9 percent of American citizens of voting age, or 21.3 million people, don't have proof of citizenship readily available".[16] The center said the act "would compel voter roll purges that are bound to sweep in eligible American voters" and that "when Arizona and Kansas implemented similar policies at the state level, tens of thousands of eligible citizens were blocked from registering", concluding, "the SAVE Act's proof-of-citizenship requirement is a solution in search of a problem".[2]

According to the U.S. Vote Foundation, the SAVE Act would jeopardize voting registration access for US military service members serving abroad and other US citizens resident overseas.[17]

SAVE Act is "a solution in search of a problem"? No it's not.

There are only two ways to preserve Republican power: adopt less vile policies, or stop Democrats from voting.

That's the problem, SAVE is the solution.

Fact is, the only players that are safe are straight white Christian cis male American Republicans.

And even then, if they fail the Griffin Test they are at risk.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Hell no. Tesla is the world's most overvalued company, it's run by a Nazi, its cars want to kill you, and they could not pay me to take their products away.

Hey, Siri, what is "unforced error"?

Starmer is, bluntly, an idiot. Mandelson is toxic. We have known that for decades.

Logan Paul REALLY doesn't want that deposition testimony to come out.
