Who's going to tell him that 150 years ago good, proper, right-thinking Americans were making similar (false) assertions about the Irish. Good thing that #BrainWorm doesn't have any Irish ancestry then, innit?
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Is young Bobby brave enough to tell #FuckFarage that his pint of beer will now be doubly different (16 American fluid ounces instead of 20 Imperial ounces) and considerably smaller?
Reform plan to 'bring back imperial measurements' as party announces list of pledges it says will create jobs www.lbc.co.uk/article/refo... Plans to bring back Polio, open sewers & the workhouse will be announced in the coming weeks.
I only have one problem with Neil Young's lawsuit. In the true spirit of #IlDouche he should have added an extra comma, some zeroes and gone for $10,000,000,000.

"OK. I want everyone to be entirely clear on this. It is not, I REPEAT NOT, a metaphor of any kind. Got it?"
With all due respect to Archbishop Grob I find it virtually impossible to believe that you are so naïve as to believe that you go pray over #IlDouche and his minions wouldn't take advantage of it for their own nefarious purposes. #ReproRightsAreHumanRights
"Well for starters I'm not really a Democrat, OK?"
So Vivek, may I call you Vivek, how's that advert working out for you?
So he would the pick of the autocracies then. No thank you.
So #ICE assaulted an American citizen with disabilities who was left with injuries that required a hospital visit. However the federal law enforcement officials just abandoned the injured student without even calling for medical help. That alone ought to be a crime.
And fails to learn from it.
New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"

Politicians should look at the UK economy as a CEO would, says Lloyds Bank CEO From a bank that hasn't investigated HBOS frauds. No thank you. Companies enrich shareholders. Countries have entirely different purpose, governance, accountability. Must not be treated as corporations. archive.ph/lj45s
Take some time and read this. You will probably be terrified by the end; I was. At the end of the day #Fear is the primary driver and the US is well on the way.
Today on #PeopleWillDie (and #BrainWorm doesn't give a shit).
Why do they calls these things "High Occupancy Vehicle Laness" in the states when are really just "One More Than The Minimum Lanes"?
Isn't that about what one would expect, assuming one was marginally competent at maths?
Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."
#FAFO time darling. Note: she was promoted and sacked in the same day.
