Two meme worlds collide:

I think POTUS Biden must be doing an OK sort of job.
Because Newsmax is criticising Champ, the dog. He's dirty, looks like a junkyard dog, and isn't a presidential dog.
(he's a rescue dog by the way)
They must be desperate

Yes, I think you're right.

As a bonus, Champ is used to distract attention from poor Snowflake. Smile

Champ's an old guy; like us humans, age will take its toll. So his detractors are guilty of ageism as well.

That meme of Bernie dog-sitting. Grin

looks like a junkyard dog good to see they can be racist (breedist?) about dogs as well as humans. Sigh. He’s an elderly rescue dog ffs, how desperate do you have to be to be running with that content? Although why are we surprised - Tucker Carlson’s recent bitching has been about how the 44 year Biden marriage is a scam.

Meanwhile 95 year old extradited to Germany. Not quite sure how the quote excerpted stacks up against Trumps refining the US human rights abuses against immigrant children ...

Acting US Attorney-General Monty Wilkinson said Mr Berger's removal showed the administration's commitment "to ensuring that the United States is not a safe haven for those who have participated in Nazi crimes against humanity and other human rights abuses".

Tucker Carlson’s recent bitching has been about how the 44 year Biden marriage is a scam.

Sounds like a signal that Melania's about to escape her marriage of convenience, and her alleged long-standing affair will become public.

Or possibly it'll be someone else in that orbit – accusations are admissions – but the odds on Melania are high.

PerkingFaintly · 20/02/2021 20:52

But yes, I agree it's a good sign if a media channel is attacking the president's dog for looking old!

Looks like the temperatures in Texas are set to rise, as well, which must be good news, although of course they'll still be dealing with all the burst pipes.

Clinton criticises Cruz for leaving dog behind

Former president Donald Trump will address the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, in Florida next week, about the future of the Republican party and the conservative movement, a source familiar with the plan told Reuters on Saturday.

The CPAC meeting will be held in Orlando, Florida from 25 to 28 February, with Trump speaking on the final day, Reuters reported.

“He’ll be talking about the future of the Republican party and the conservative movement,” the source reportedly said. “Also look for the 45th president to take on President [Joe] Biden’s disastrous amnesty and border policies.”

Manhattan DA subpoenaes tax agency in criminal investigation of Trump.
thehill.com/homenews/news/539711-manhattan-da-subpoenaes-tax-agency-in-criminal-investigation-of-trump-reuters

Investigators looking into Trump's business will now be able to look through the tax agency documents in addition to previously subpoenaed records from Trump's creditors to determine if the former president inflated his property value in an effort to get more favorable loans while recording lower values to reduce his taxes for the same properties, Reuters reported.

With the subpoena, the news outlet noted, the New York City Tax Commission may be more inclined to provide the courts with the Trump Organization's detailed income and expense statements filed with the intention to lower taxes on commercial properties, including Trump Tower and Trump Plaza.

That's good. I wonder if his tax lawyers are better than his other legal representatives.

I am baffled. What does "dish" mean in this subheader? "Jonathan Cohn’s study of the fight for healthcare coverage delivers depth, dish and much for Democrats to ponder."

AcrossthePond55 · 21/02/2021 14:00

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

Normally (at least to me) 'dish' means 'gossipy' talking about someone as in "Get the latest 'dish' on celebrity X's divorce..." or "Dish the dirt on...". But I think it can also just mean news or information , "Today we give you the 'dish' on Sen XXX's proposed legislation".

It was an interesting article, but not much of what I consider 'dish' in it.

I think they were going for alliteration with "delivers depth, dish and much for Democrats to ponder".

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 21/02/2021 14:36

Weird. Dish the dirt has been around since the twenties, but dish in that is a verb, not a noun.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 21/02/2021 14:37

The same as in "he can dish it out but he can't take it", for instance.

Just to carry on bitching about the sack of shit that is Ted Cruz, why is he now not quarantining?
