WTF is up with that haircut? N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys didn't even come close to that god awful bad.

And in other news, Trump (much like Bat), would **** a rock, if he thought there was a snake under it.

I know he likes to boast a lot about his stamina, but he's 72 dude.

EDIT: Ah, key word: would. Nvm.

Makes me feel all young and vibrant at 58.




I just hope I live long enough Frowny. I will laugh so ****ing hard.

I'll wait until I'm closer to 72 before I say whether or not I'd like to live that long. I'd imagine that it'd become a slog after one point, like an album with the singles and great tracks at the beginning, mediocre ballady stuff in the middle, then just terrible stuff that the label forced them to do at the very end that makes you want to turn it off when you're listening to it but you're too lazy and you end up just letting the album play out because it's what everyone else does.

It’s more like a novel that keeps carrying on for no reason.

And you hit diminishing returns on EVERYTHING

Literature, music, and enjoying nature haven’t faded so far with me

Everything else gets more and more meh

Trump 2020 looking more and more likely.

FBI Agent Peter Strzok in Text to Lisa Page: ‘We’ll Stop’ Trump from Becoming President"

^ Yeah, because a two-line down-time joke between mid-level FBI officials obviously outweighs not only the report's ultimate conclusion that Strzok/Page exchange had no effect on FBI conduct, but in the eyes of voters it will also outweigh the following list of Trump scandals:-

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/o...ls-a-list.html

And since this list was last updated in Feb 2018, there's plenty more to add to Trump's misdemeanors, for example:-

> provokes trade war which almost every ecomonist agrees nobody can win
> insults long-time ally Canada and pulls a"hissy fit" after the G6 meeting
> continues to praise Kim Jung Un, ignoring Jung's record of crimes against humanity
> claims he "won't settle" despite the fact that the Trump Foundation is credibly accused of "persitently illegal conduct occuring over more than a decade"

These lies from Trump aren't the most politically significant, but to me they are among the most morally creepy. By lying about losing friends in the 9/11 tragedy, he is belittling or cheapening the people who have genuine cause for personal grief. Trump's comments are rather as if one of us were to post a lie to Trollheart like, "Yeah, my sister has those problems too." That's how contemptible it is.
