Hello Everybody,

Bill Maher called out several "liberal celebrities" who
"swear they'll go if a Republican is elected" (and no one
ever does). Here is his latest (updated) list -

* Lena Dunham
* Cher
* Snoop Dogg
* Bryan Cranston
* Susan Sarandon
* Whoopi Goldberg
* Chelsea Handler
* Barbra Streisand
* Miley Cyrus
* Eddie Griffin
* George Lopez

Bill Maher is also convinced Taylor Swift can 'swing the election'
- without naming which candidate she will be supporting but a clear
warning that MAGA people 'should be very careful' thus making sure
the vote is not rigged in her favor (she is age 34, same as Kelce).

But hey. This message is not about liberals who threaten to leave
the USA if a Republican is elected - as those liberals are all talk
and no action. Everybody nows that. Especially Madonna, who once
threatened to blow up the White House, but was given a pass by the
Secrat Service when convinced she was only like a virgin rather
than the real thing.

The question is, where would all these liberals go?
What city would have them, or even consider having them?

Bill Maher offered them all a bit of friendly advice -

"And for your exile, if you do wind up in some comparatively
luxurious place like Canada or Japan or the UK, not that they
want you, at best you'll be trading a bunch of stuff you hate
about this country for a bunch of stuff you'll soon hate about
your new home. It took me only four days in Amsterdam to learn
that while I admire Amsterdam, I don't want to live there! The
buildings are cramped and shaped like needles, the food is awful,
the TV is in a different language, it's wet and cold, the people
are polite but cold, and they do a bunch of weird s---, the
explanation for, according to my friend, was ‘Just remember,
they’re high.'"
~ Bill Maher, talking about his experiences to Amsterdam

There you go. Liberals have been warned. By the man himself.
Better to go to Moscow, than to spend the rest of your days
being high on Amsterdam.

If Trump becomes the GOP-candidate for the Presidency, then the Republicans will lose, even if the candidate for the Democrats is a decaying corpse tied to a chair with tension straps.

It amazes me that so few understand that he won the 2016 election merely because Democrats were so cock-sure of victory they didn't bother to vote. It's a bit like the Brexit where a majority of the Brits were against, but they didn't go to the polls.

In 2020 the Democrat minded people did go vote, not because they thought Biden was such great idea but just to keep Trump out of office ... It simply will happen again ...

Now if the Republicans would choose anyone else, they would win the Presidency.

Hello Ward,

There you go. Liberals have been warned. By the man himself.
Better to go to Moscow, than to spend the rest of your days
being high on Amsterdam.

Why are you so quiet about Geert Wilders now?

"We hebben een serieus probleem."

The fear of all mainstream parties in Dutch politics.
The fact that all mainstream parties do not allow the
formation of a government with a democratic mandate.
In which case, fresh elections must be held. That is
the way it works. Or supposed to work.

Who are Dutch voters blaming for the current situation?
Not Wilder, but Omtzigt. And if new elections are held,
it will be a landslide. With Geert Wilders' party in
full cotrol having an outright majority.

I realize you do not want to believe a word of what I say.
And that's okay. I understand. But even the math-impaired can
count. And in this case, such counting is not difficult.

You see, Geert Wilders has been playing this game for a very
long time. And one of the things he has learned is how to count.

If a new election is held, Geert Wilders' party will win
even more seats than it has in the Dutch parliament. Which
is 52 out of 150 as of now. What this means is Wilders'
party is likely to get an outright majority if new elections
are called.

Can't happen? Won't happen? You do not understand the Dutch
people. They know Geert. And Geert knows them. And all of them
have a great understanding of each other.

You see, Dutch voters are blaming Omtzigt, not Wilders, for
the mess they are in. Ontzigt's party has lost almost half its
support since the election - the same as for VDD (the party of
Mark Rutte, the caretaker PM).

Wilders' party has 52 seats, plus another 20 on the VPP, and
maybe one or two more. That gives him almost an outright majority.
Even without others on board. And before new elections would be
called.

That leaves the Reformed Political Party (SGP) holding the
balance of power in Dutch politics. The Dutch Bible Belt.

The only question that remains is do those bible-thumbers
really want Geert Wilders as their god/prime minister?

Your predicted shit not happening either?

The shit is about to hit the fan.

If you think cartoonists in France were having fun ...

For Life,
Lee

Hello Kurt,

Bill Maher called out several "liberal celebrities" who
"swear they'll go if a Republican is elected" (and no one
ever does). Here is his latest (updated) list -

Trump saying that if he lost the election "that's the last you'll hear from
me" was the capper of all celebrity posturing.

Trump lost to a woman by over three million votes in 2016.
Trump then went on to lose to a senile old man by over seven
million votes in 2020. And now he says he wants to do it all
over again, in a rematch with the same old coot he lost to
last time. Maybe the both of them are senile having forgotten
who and what they are.

Maybe a better poll would be to see which sysops are moving to zone 2 if Trump is elected again.

With Geert Wilders poised to take over as Prime Minister of
the Netherlands, that might not be a wise move by some sysops.
Especially Muslim sysops who own copies of the Quran. But we
are talking about Trump, not the Quran (holy or not).

To remind you once again (we are all getting senile in our
old age) -

Trump has never won an election to any office, being a two-time
loser. Will he make it three in a row? Or will the USSC grant him
a win, by recounting the votes amongst themselves, as they did
in Bush v Gore (with GWB winning the election 5-4)?

As can plainly be seen, Trump is right. He has been all along.
Nobody wanted to believe him. And nobody (aside from a few MAGA
fanatics) wants to believe him now. But it is all true. Trump
is always right. Just like Il Duce.

Now if only there were more sysops who could be found in Sicily ...

You can add me to the list of liberals threatening to leave if Trump

talking about retiring in the UK. Might need to speed up the timetable
given the current political scene.

That was one hell of a lesson for some people.

Hello Terry,

In Australia, we have complusory voting so no bitching later as the majority
spoke. We do have a preference voting system which 's pro's cand con's.

There is no compulsory voting in the USA (that I know of). Some
states in the past did, but very few. And that was years ago. Some
states and local municipalities use a ranked preference method of
voting, but no national elections, as each state conducts its own
election for congress/POTUS in the way it sees fit.

There is no minimum voting age, as each state or municipality is
free to set whatever age it wants to. Except for the guarantee that
all 18-year-olds be allowed to vote in congressional and presidential elections.

What that means is that even babies can vote in the USA.

That is how 16-year-old kids won election to the Newark, New
Jersey school board, writing rules for other students to follow.

No worries. She did away with that boy toy, along with his house,
almost two decades ago. Now the material girl has moved on to other
things, such as completing the worldwide tour she started and had
to restart before she got too old. Like a virgin, no more Guys

Talk is cheap. As noted by Bill Maher.

Not to worry. Joe has promised to finish the job.

It amazes me that so few understand that he won the 2016 election
merely because Democrats were so cock-sure of victory they didn't
bother to vote.

That was one hell of a lesson for some people.

Hillary Clinton clocked Donald Trump by over 3 million votes.
When Democrats found that was not enough, Joe Biden clocked him
by over 7 million votes. And what happened next? Donald Trump
claimed it was all rigged! And he has never shut up since!

My daughter, who by birthright can claim British citizenship is already practicing her accent. It sounds a bit like Lindsay Lohan in The Parent

I look forward to trading American wasserbiers and the Pacific
coast IPAs oversaturating the market for a nice hand-pulled pint of
bitters. Or a proper Guinness, not some simulacrum brewed in Canada and "imported" into the US.

We're in dark days for beer over here. Even the cheap mexican beers that
were like American beer but better and cheaper are trying to position themselves as "premium" beers.

Those hand-pulled British 'beers' is probably why the English are so weird. I rate them higher than anything brewed in the Netherlands, the USA and for sure Canada. But not by that much.

But a Guinness, now that is something else, especially the generically brewed in Ireland because they still use copper vats where-as the British Guinness (and the North American brewed at Coors) uses stainless steel (there is a taste difference). Once in Donegal Ireland I asked if they had Guinness on tap and I was nearly escorted out of the premisses.

Alas, so you have never tasted the Trappist ales. I just drink the WestVleteren abbey's output. The friars there brew to sustain their monastic work ... not to make money ,,, and you need to pre-order and pre-pay. You need to be a registered customer, tell'm the make of the car you drive to pick-up the beer, the license-plate and the card used to pay. If any of these fail on pick-up day, you'll walk away empty-handed. These friars are not dumb, they control the market of their product,

Tomorrow's an on-line sale ...

Just so you know Corona is no longer Mexican, but owned by a Belgian brewer. Perhaps that explains the better quality, but I think their clear-glass bottles are ridiculous.

Yes, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Before IPAs took over
the beer scene in the US, Red Hook made a passable ESB, and my local
pub (next door, great venue for BBS gettogethers in the '90s) had
Fullers ESB on tap.

At one point in the '90s, I worked for a gaming company with offices in Hamburg, Paris, London and San Francisco. Our quarterly IT meetings were
a *lot* of fun, save for the fact that one of my colleagues garnered a
taste for Anchor Steam beer, and they couldn't find it anywhere in
Europe.

We did drink it at Bloom's, a bar in San Francisco a stone's throw from
the Anchor Brewery. I think they were the first stop off the truck, as
Anchor just tasted better there.
