Danged pear-hating Germans!
She actually remembered Pearl Harbor Day was yesterday?!?! I'm impressed.
Now I want to see whether she:
a) Remembers D-Day when that anniversary happens.
b) Does she celebrate that day, or is it a day of mourning for her?
D-Day, you say? Different idiot wingnut, same general sort of outcome:
These idiots think Pearl Harbor is Cousin Minnie Pearl's full name.
A day that will live forever in flambé
Today is a good day! https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/brittney-griner-release-russia-prisoner-swap-viktor-bout/
Further evidence our doddering old fool of a president can't get anything done…😉
A very good day, indeed!
🥳😄
Vlad wipes the floor with the doddering old fool. One for one, not good enough.
Vlad made TFG look really bad when he [TFG] publicly sided with him against US intelligence agencies in front of the whole world while obviously holding his balls.
Vlad doesn't wipe the floor. He shits on it.
And you have expertise in international hostage negotiations? My, what a well-rounded preparation you have.
Go ahead, Powerful Pear … boast a bit. Let us know what exchange you have been able to conduct with an outcome that United States wound up getting more than one for one. (I know I am presuming you are negotiating on behalf of Americans.)
Wish we could figure out how to get Paul Whelan out, but apparently he's worth more than a convicted arms dealer in their mind.
Getting Griner out is great, though. Better to take what you can get there than nothing at all.
Here's hoping it contributes in a small way to peace in Ukraine.
It’s not for lack of trying. They’re being hard-asses about him: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3767108-why-the-us-was-able-to-bring-home-brittney-griner-but-not-paul-whelan/
That last summary by Whelan's brother is depressing. Apparently we just don't have any prisoners the Russians see as equivalent. Maybe if we convict Trump?
I like how you think, PR. That'd solve two problems; Putin would have his stooge and we'd be rid of him, hopefully once and for all.
I read that the prisoner the Russians DO want in exchange for Whelan is an GRU agent convicted of murder (assassination) in Berlin.
Like a dog to vomit…who’s going to tell the little puke his daddy was POTUS the first two years that Whalen was incarcerated?
If we're going to trade spies, we should trade Trump for Whelan!
Why you want to live in blue Colorado.
And should you want to see what happens with the booster and without, even in the relatively medically "rich" Colorado, check out Vacccine Breakout tab on the CDPHE webpage.
Once upon a time, Kwtree was called to substitute for a 3rd-grade class. She decided to ask all the children to talk about their favorite stories.
Kwtree: Good morning boys and girls, we are going to start the morning by asking each of you to tell the class about your favorite story.
Little Voyager jumped up.
Voyager: Ms. Kwtree, my favorite story is Jonah and the whale. God sent Jonah on a trip that he didn’t want to go on. A storm came up and Jonah fell into the sea. God sent a big whale to save Jonah by swallowing him. He lived in the fish for three days and then the fish had a stomach ache and threw Jonah up on the beach. Jonah went back to work.
Kwtree: Very nice Voyager. But you know that is just a make believe story. There is no God and whales don’t swallow people and live.
Voyager: But it’s in the Bible
Kwtree: I know Voyager. The Bible is a collection of make believe stories that people long ago told each other. Whales don’t swallow people. It’s make believe.
Voyager: Well….. when I get to heaven I’m going to ask Jonah.
Kwtree: What if Jonah didn’t go to heaven?
Voyager: I’ll let you ask him.
Little pFruit jumped up:
pFruit: I know this story about the old man that was beat with a hammer. It's my favorite story. I get the jollies off it every time.
Kwtree: Anything else?
pFruit: There was my second favorite world leader in history, who whipped his worshippers into trying to storm the capital on his behalf when he kept telling them he won an election that he really lost.
Kwtree: Another story?
pFruit: You won't let me tell the one about my absolute favorite world leader that ran Germany and invaded Europe in the 1930s and 40s.
OK, Pear, you made me laugh. You get a gold star for today.
I live for stars.
Did Pfruit overdose on his tricocksagain pills today?
I'm guessing so. He says about them what Rick James said about cocaine.
and for anyone interested in what the Bible actually has to say about Jonah & the Whale

"You will destroy the Republican frame"
Well, that plus a good number of them will get sexually aroused.
Allegedly, Rep. “Gym” Jordan (R-OH) has been liking younger men since his days as a coach for Ohio State’s wrestling team.
But for the $64,000 question: Does there exist an Access Hollywood recording of him bragging, "You grab them by the pecker, they let you do that when you're the wrestling coach"?
I prefer Hunter's Dick Pics.
