Someone with the skills has to do a little audio clip of Trump's answer in the Merkel press conference where he says "I'm a trader" and put subtitles under it to say "I'm a traitor" (the way his campaign did with Hillary's "I won't raise taxes on the middle class")

Just sayin' that somebody oughta do that.
 
I can't stop laughing about Trump proposing cuts to US research budgets and it's starting to concern me.
 
A local Jehovah's Witness chapter keeps leaving pamphlets at my door. Ordinarily fine, but my door is in the backyard of a closed yard. I think these guys come onto every property and circle the entire house leaving a pamphlet at every door they come across.

They recently updated their pamphlets. There are parrots on the shoulders of the kids now. I guess that's how they'll get you in their cult, with the promise of parrots.
 
If a Jehovah's witness is a witness in a court case. Somebody making a wise remark would be inevitable, no?

A witty remark would be better in such a case than a wise one, I should say.
 
A witty mother, witless else her son.

They knocked on my mums door a few years ago.

I answered the door; I was told not too.

They asked me if I supported law and order.

I said no.

They looked confused and walked away.
 
They did not come back for months.

My mum was happy.
 
I once opened the door to Mormons while wearing a t-shirt that said "Southern Nihilism Front". Understandably, they didn't put a lot of effort into their pitch.
 
That should have made them redouble their efforts!

Anyway, my Random Remark: It's funny (and by funny, I mean sad), that the concessions that the Freedom Caucus wants in order to vote to repeal Obamacare are just nakedly "You haven't taken enough stuff away from enough people." They don't even put the pretense on it of "well, the market will reduce prices" or "people take greater satisfaction providing for themselves than the government providing for them." It really is just "Ryan's bill isn't cruel enough yet."

They want insurers to be able to issue policies that are not required to cover:

• Emergency services
• Hospitalization
• Pregnancy, maternity, and newborn care
• Mental health and substance use disorder services, including counseling and psychotherapy
• Prescription drugs
• Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices, which help people with injuries and disabilities to recover
• Laboratory services
• Preventive care, wellness services, and chronic disease management
• Pediatric services, including oral and vision care for children

Like, what would policies that didn't cover those things cover?
 
They will cover it if they can extract a large enough premium from you. And co-payments, which you lot also apparently have (I just checked).

I should get myself a Bad Religion T-shirt then. Ramones ones are too ubiquitous; even if having a Jew and a Nazi in leather jackets and torn jeans on them should scare away, they've probably developed antibodies by now.
 
I had a visit from Jehovah's Witnesses a couple of years ago when I had a full beard. They asked me if I wanted to talk about God. I angrily told them that there is no God but God and Mohammed is his prophet. Then I slammed the door.
They never bothered me again.
 
Feather hair? Just follow the music serial thread, where I post videos of '80s heavy metal from time to time.
