Whoever thought of this one must have been so proud of themselves. It’s impossible not to read it in his voice. That line is very rodney dangerfield.
I’ve only seen him from that one episode of thr Simpsons, and his whole act is etched into my mind
Go find some videos online, his stand-up was brilliant. Or his cameo as Satan’s dad on Little Nicky.
I tell you I get no respect.
No respect at all.
I tried to tell my son about the birds and the bees.
He told me about my wife and the milkman.
Caddy shack…
Sigh. I’m tired of everything being a distraction for everything else. At some point, it’s just more and more evil. Tthey’re not smart enough to play like 8D checkers.
But people gonna think whatever they’re gonna think, I guess. To me, all this IS the distraction from the issues.
:shrug:
They are all distractions. The thing is they are only kinda distractions from each other, but it’s a sleight of hand. What they are really distracting you from is action. It’s a really effective technique that keeps you constantly reacting to the stimuli of these “distractions”, so you can’t effectively plan ahead and take action. It also wears you down and saps your willpower, again making it difficult to take action.
On top of which it makes it difficult to coherently say why you’re angry in an easy to spread message. If you were paying attention during Occupy Wall Street, the media used that to basically make the apathetic and insulated just dismiss the concerns out of hand. They framed it as OWS just being angry hipsters that didn’t even know what they were angry about.
All of this is just one of the reasons I believe effective action has yet to be taken here in the U.S.
Well, he has the intellectual capacity of an 8 year old
So this is just the result of that
I suppose, but it’s everyone else on the internet I’m complaining about, not him. In the rant above, I mean. Obviously I complain about the orange toddler constantly. heh
This has always been the game, but the news cycle keeps getting shorter and shorter. Truly dizzying, if you stare too hard for too long.
But once you pull back and get some perspective, it’s all crystal clear. Follow the money.
Yeah agreed. Its getting to the point where the word distraction alone annoys me
Unprecedented distraction
Oof, tough crowd, it’s so quiet, you can hear the young girls getting funneled into the van out back.
Cuba will be next.
Yeah, differently from Iran, Cuba is within drone-range of mainland US.
After that will be the Saudi-UAE/Israeli war. That’s the Saudis (and Saudi led Muslim countries, including Pakistan) vs UAE and Israel, which is a weird, dangerous alliance.
The two (UAE and Israel) are already doing joint military exercises, and are supplying arms and money to various separatist movements in the region.
The Saudis on the other hand have been trying to stabilize the region, preferably under the existing kingdoms and Muslim theocracies.
But the main conflict is that the Saudis and the Emirates both see a future without oil, and they both want to be the economic and tourist center of the Middle East.
So, the last decade, the Saudis have been waging the exact same sort of economic warfare on the Emirates that the Emirates waged on Bahrain several decades back.
Both sides are desperately bribing Trump,
Hey don’t worry, that defense pact with Pakistan is as useless as Pakistan’s field marshal who has been running the country into the ground lol.
America could be utterly broken after this war with Iran, but Pakistan will still be sniffing up Uncle Sam for IMF loans.
While everyone involved wants loans and cash, the Pakistanis also have nukes, and might, possibly launch to protect the Saudis.
India is also making noises towards supporting the UAE and Israel. So yeah, the players for WW3 are all lining up.
They have enough money to invest in stuff other than oil and continue to make money. In fact they have already been doing this. But why on earth do they think tourism is a good idea? I assume no one wants to vacation in a place where you can’t drink, or fuck, or show skin, or a million other things their backwards laws and culture don’t allow. And they must know that.
Well, look at Dubai for what the Saudis want to copy. It’s a financial hub, and a travel hub with the Emirates Airlines, plus a bunch of cheap data centers now.
And yes, luxury tourism, claiming the “world’s first 7-star hotel” which I don’t even know what that means, except for $$$.
The Saudis want copy that all, and in doing so displace the Emirates like the Emirates displaced Bahrain.
Damn. This one hits hard if you are old enough to remember Dangerfield’s comedy.
I mean… I want the war not to go well for the USA.

Cuba capitulating to Trump is no guarantee Trump won’t bomb them or something.
