Hah! If the CIA had their way, those files would <i>never</i> be released, because then America would find out that everything they had been told about the assassination was a lie. But since they know they can't kill President Trump (can't afford another civil war) they're gonna have to play nice for a change.
I actually have a Wal-Mart near my house that is also near a black neighborhood, but to be honest, it isn't the black customers I have issues with primarily. It's the fact that the place is severely under-staffed (not many people want to work there, and I don't blame them), so often only 4 or 5 of the 10 cashier spots is open at any one time, and the lines get so long that some people have to stand all the way into the clothing sections. Even worse, that particular store has had issues with theft. Locals have told me that the reason 1/4 of stuff is now locked behind glass, is because there aren't enough security guards, and often the thieves are better armed than the security guards the store <i>does</i> have. I find it particularly annoying trying to get something as simple as laundry detergent, or nasal spray from a locked cabinet, and have to wait for an eternity because there aren't enough store employees to unlock the case I'm at. Parts of the store are also messy, and often look like they've been raided, particularly after the first Tuesday of the month.
Gotta love what the War on Poverty did to make America so Utopian (sarc)
It's possible if you got a VHS and tape player from England. I've heard of several Brits that were kids in the 80s who watched it on VHS.
A "trans terror cell?" Seriously? Those actually exist?!
The pants and shoes are fine, but I hate shirts like that. The collar and buttons always looked ugly to me, and the wide, horizontal stripes are not figure-flattering, even on someone with a good bod.
<i>My [paternal] grandma, after she was widowed, had a Catholic Italian boyfriend who liked to tell jokes, so I learned this one from him:</i>
There was a museum in Italy that had just opened up. It had a big, beautiful lobby that was three stories high, with skylights, and a massive, 50-foot tall marble statue of David. He stood proudly in the middle the lobby, and unfortunately the sculptor made him anatomically correct in every way possible. It was because of him that many locals and visitors from out of town loved to come visit. Sadly, there were some people who were very put off by his nakedness. Eventually some of the more religious groups demanded that he be made more modest.
So the museum contacted the original sculptor, who proceeded to make a gigantic, marble fig leaf to put on David's private parts, and make him more easy on the eyes of the prudish.
A few days after the fig leaf was installed, a little old lady came in, stood in front of the statue, and stared at it for hours. She was looking up at him and never took her eyes off of David. After a while, the museum employees became curious about her behavior, and around closing time, one of them came over and asked her what she was doing.
The old lady replied, "I'm waiting for the leaf to blow away."
You'd be surprised how many people use the john while on their cell phones these days. They just don't make a big deal about it unless the person on the other end can hear water running or a toilet flushing.
This isn't a new concept either. Before we had cell phones, rich people (from the 20th century onward) would have a phone in every room of their mansions (which probably would have had a receiver and an audio button by the time the 1960s came around), including the bathroom, so they would be able to answer calls, even when answering the call of nature. I have a feeling it probably got a little awkward if someone caught them in the bathroom while talking, but chances were, they weren't in there all the time.
A pity he doesn't realize that part of the money Europe uses to fund many of those welfare programs comes from America through the biggest banks in the world. Otherwise, he would be suffering a lot more from taxes and living in a shitty shack that costs too much.

About time someone righted that wrong. Not to mention many of those soldiers were probably also not gay, trans, or hard-left sissies that sucked up to the woke nutjobs in charge.
Oh yeah, that rule even applies to the internet. Someone who was the daughter of a policeman actually told me, that people staring at the images of child porn can be considered by law to be "raping" the girls in the pictures, even if they never meet the kid in person or have anything to do with them. Same goes for adult women in porn. Evidently someone thinks eye-F-ing is the same as the actual deed. Talk about messed up.
That's like saying that when someone types something you don't like to hear online, it's "violence."
Yeah. It has a lot in common with Disney's "Pocahontas," where they took an actual story from history, diluted it, made everyone attractive, changed the ages of the characters and dates on a lot of stuff, dressed everyone the way they wanted instead of how it was actually done, and then shoved songs into it.
The songs were great, but if you strip those away, it's a very bland, cliched morality tale about not exploiting minorities. And the story-telling is bungled because whoever wrote the script did not do enough editing to work out some of the fictional PT Barnum's issues with his circus crew.
It's so ironic. The Democraps pretended for years to protect Jews after WWII, and let them become part of their party and put them on pedestals in corporations and Hollywood studios. I guess they never actually believed in any of that.
Now <i>that</i> I've never heard of, and the concept sounds about as laughable as claiming the earth was at the center of the solar system or the universe.
I would like to point out that most of "Surviving Mars" isn't about silly stuff like that chance card. Mostly it's about building a colony for humans to live in on Mars, and surviving that the planet has to throw at you. It also provides fun adventures involving finding alien life, or helping humanity spread among the stars, exploring the caves under the map you've chosen, and terraforming Mars so that one day, humans will have a "second Earth" they can live on without wearing environmental suits. It's a lot of fun, and I've founded many colonies in that game ;)
There's a game I like to play called "Surviving Mars," where [I guess a few centuries into the future] you build a colony on Mars for humans to live, and you have to deal with all sorts of scenarios that the game throws at you to keep your colony intact and your people alive.
One sort of challenge the game throws at you are random chance cards. The developers poked fun at the above subject with a chance card called, "The Flat-Mars Society." In that, a young adult in your colony who was born on Mars, started the movement because they and several other Martianborn people were buying into stupid theories on the internet. Apparently, according to the game's wiki, this chance card happens when a colonist with the "Idiot" trait also gains the "Guru" trait. The founder of the movement has a crappy, homemade rocket built, and wants to take their peeps into space to prove Mars is flat. You can choose to either ban the society, let them fly in the rocket and all get killed, or just make the founder of the movement fly the rocket and get killed, while the movement falls apart as a result of this colonist's stupidity.
Normally I bring in Earthborn colonists with no bad traits, but you can't do anything about the Martianborn ones developing bad traits once people start having babies on the planet. It's all kinda random.
I have always found it fascinating that the idiots on the left actually have the nerve to equate patriotic Americans who stand for freedom; to a German political party that <i>didn't</i> believe in freedom.
It's particularly ironic, considering the Democratic Party has more in common with the Nazi party than the Republican one. I mean, when they were at the height of their power in Germany, the Nazis controlled everything: the news, their film industry, the entertainment industry, all German-based companies, and the entire school system. Not to mention that Antifa has a lot in common with the Nazi Brownshirt thug gangs that used to secretly bully people in Germany during that time period. Oh yeah, and the Nazis also loved censorship of everything that wasn't pro-Nazi propaganda...kinda like the pro-censorship people on the Left.
They don't, because the earth isn't flat. That is a stupid myth started by idiots online.
The earth is technically, an "oblate spheroid," a 3-D sphere that's a teensy bit squished, but it's very slight, based on measurements scientists have taken of it using satellites and on-the-ground measurements. Basically, the earth is wider when its diameter is measured along the equator, versus from pole-to-pole. It's not as obvious when photographed from space, but it's very clear when accurate, 3-D maps of the planet are made in computers.
I could have told you that years ago. Even as a kid, something never felt right to me about their mindset.
And for the record, Conservatives <i>do</i> address their own mental issues and go get them worked on professionally, we just don't turn them into a feature and let them rule our lives, unlike liberals.
There was a blond getting her hair cut at the local salon. She was wearing a pair of earbuds that were attached to her smartphone via a cord. The hairdresser working on her was somewhat clumsy, and accidentally cut the cord with the shears, and the blond died. Everyone in the salon was shocked, horrified, and very confused. That is, until the manager got out his own earbuds and listened to what had been playing on the blond's Spotify track at the time she passed. It was a relaxation program that was saying, "Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in..."
<i>(Note: I had to update the tech used because when this joke was originally told, she was wearing headphones and listening to a CD walkman).</i>
That's too bad. That was a good movie.
