Remember this gem from about twenty years ago?
The world is about to literally blow up.
Do we get an honest discussion about our plight as a country?
Do we get any dialogue about the issues we face?
Do we get any solutions?
No, we get cat memes.
Can you believe this shit?
What federal agency do I go to to disavow myself from the human race? I want a new species.

Good morning Free Rangers...
Happy Friday the Thirteenth.

Another oldie but moldy...
Hot dog!
and biting cats?
Apparently this is what our
society has devolved into.
Thanks for the OT!
It's certainly...
is what the internet has devolved into.
But I'm pretty sure cat and dog memes are why Al Gore invented the internet anyways.
Pelosi on tape
.
I’ve been waiting for this…trespassing on capital grounds and they will go to jail.
She really wanted Trump to show up so she could impeach him for insurrection and keep him from running again. Plus she wanted to “punch him in the face.”
For weeks the intelligence agencies knew that Trump supporters were coming to DC and lots of warmings went out. Trump offered the national guard for security. Pelosi turned him down. The capitol police head asked Pelosi for more security. She said no. She admitted to not having security because it was a set up. She and McConnell knew that some republicans were not going to certify the vote which is legal for either party to do and which democrats have done 5 times since 2000. If she could get the session interrupted by a mobbing riot then it would be a new session after congress met again and no one could contest the vote.
I’ve been calling out the draconian prison sentences since this planned shitshow started. The FBI had people in the crowd to instigate the riots and the capitol police just out of the blue and for no reason started using tear gas and shooting rubber bullets into the crowd and people reacted to it.
Hey remember when Gore lost and one person after another went to him and begged him to question the votes in Florida and he just sat there looking bored? Gore couldn’t have started the war of terror so Bush was selected to win that year.
A must watch.

This seems to fit.
Also happened with Iraqi refugee women
As Iraqis fled the American invasion and occupation into Syria and neighboring countries, single mothers had to turn to prostitution to survive. This include child prostitution. Probably the most trafficked people in EU are Ukrainian female kids and adults.
And now a word from the pseudo President of the USA.
Hey tony
American media should buy a mirror and see that they do exactly what you’re accusing RT of doing. And what about radio free Europe and all its sister agencies spouting American propaganda around the world. Another dumb American who doesn’t think his poo stinks.
As for election interference you should watch the Jimmy video I posted and see what your state department does in 192 counties.
I’m so effing tired of American hypocrisy and exceptionalism.

Can just change a couple words in that quote...
and be spot on. "We will not stand by as
RTMSNBC and other actors carry out covert activities in support ofRussiaAmericas's nefarious activities."If you're poor now, my friend, then you'll stay poor.

Hmmm!
Cat Memes?
I guess they're more pleasant than reality.
1 min...FAKE NEWS!
It is raining here, and it's needed. 1.2" so far today.
No comments on the shit show. My prediction is to expect western aggression in some fashion or form during the BRICS+ meeting in Kazan October 22nd to 24th.
Hope all is well. Thanks for the OT!

Nice rain!
We've only got 0.11 inches so far, but it's something. Supposed to rain tomorrow and into Sunday too.
That cat played better than me and I took piano lessons as a kid!

There's this cat problem
in case you wander outside the tent, because it isnot always true.

Me and hubby dancing around the room, singing...
How can I remember that song from my childhood, when I was -1 when it came out?

Speaking of "nothing new under the sun", it is
far older than that:

Thank you!
Gorgeous and the notes and such have the history of the song. I learned a lot!
