Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha! Oh, my aching sides.

Trump accuses oil companies of ‘making too much money’ from his war on Iran.
US president hits out at ExxonMobil and Chevron, saying they should ‘give some of that back to the public’.

What he actually means is...you need to give some if that money to me.

Are they capable of describing anything in one word or is this all just hyperbole?

We got another one.

Armed man arrested at Trump’s California golf course ahead of president’s visit | CNN

"The Secret Service is investigating whether the person, who was caught carrying ammunition while apparently taking pictures and videos of the federal agents’ security-planning activities, posed a threat to President Donald Trump, a federal law enforcement source told CNN."

"At his home, investigators later recovered what they described as an illegally modified AR-style rifle, body armor, high-capacity magazines and notebooks containing what the sheriff’s department called “concerning statements,” among other items. The Secret Service would not comment on specifics."

I predict a goatee beard and a bobble hat.

“concerning statements,”

So we have a goatee beard a bobble hat, and they post on this thread. Or someone they know used their computer to post on this thread. Hmmmm.

Thing is really. If someone was planning to do something, an AR would be the worst choice. Esp the AR in the article with the barrel coated in epoxy and sellotape.

Armed man arrested at Trump’s California golf course ahead of president’s visit | CNN

An armed man was arrested outside Trump National Golf Club in Southern California on Sunday after federal agents reported someone suspicious walking the property just days before a visit by the president, authorities said.

Apparently the 'Dept of War' posted this and then deleted when the comments pointed out the truth of that statement in regard to their current war.

I think technically it's "Department of Defence (department of War)" as only congress can rename executive offices.

Incidentally, it wasn't really made public, but apparently when European forces were sent to Greenland earlier this year, they took stocks of blood.

You don't do that on the off chance. You do that when you expect bullets to fly.

This whole thing of "AI degradation" appears to be true then.

Unless of course whoever done the prompt/request to create that AI image is just stupendously idiotically amazingly bad at doing it and does not have an iota of fact checking and verification skills.

Ahh.... Trump done it.

The beach windbreaker thing maybe come from his childhood memories. Sand = windbreaker. I sense a bit of Musk here. Has he put one of his brain reader chips into the hallowed noggin ?

What happened to the Musk brain chip ?

For some reason I remember that a lot of Europeans wouldn't eat potatoes when they were first bought back from the new world.

Bad news folks. Was reading something today that said Fidel Castro survived more than 600 assassination attempts. Back to the drawing board.

Is that why people don't eat cats too?

Where you are, they say they eat everything on four legs except tables, and everything flying except airplanes.

Not for the squeamish, but I've lived in a country where small intestines, complete with contents, were a delicacy. BBQ'd.

Zonder · 06/08/2026 06:52

@RedTagAlan I think I remember where you are but I didn't know that!
@logicisall I don't know where you lived but even in France they eat intestine. Not sure about the contents though. Andouilettes. I am happy to try most things but just didn't fancy those.

I do remember hearing a Chinese pastor speak. He said you can tell Adam and Eve weren't Chinese. If they had been, the snake wouldn't have stood a chance because he would have been in the cooking pot immediately before he had chance to tempt them.

logicisall · 06/08/2026 07:00

@Zonder , your pastor's comment made me laugh, but it's very true.
I didn't try the full intestines, mopane worms in South Africa or the giant ants in South America. I won't even eat frog legs!

With you on most of those but did give frogs legs a go! I wouldn't bother 🤣

I remember trying flying ants in Uganda when on a relief and development short term project many years ago. One of the team members said they tasted like ‘rotten Rice Krispies’. 🤣
