The threesome was less than wholesome - I mean - I’m cool with whatever, but that was strange as fuck Probably the worst Olympics since Moscow 1980, final straw two men get 2 gold medals for battering women, the world is going to hell in a hand basket and I blame America and Joe Biden in particular. Sorry state of affairs when a country doesn't know their President has dementia until he is nearly brain dead, worse still he may be replaced by a President who doesn't have a brain. We can only pray for Donald Trump and Jesus o save the free world from the woke left. I slaughtered two sheep and roasted them in honor of the Greek Gods during the Dionysius scenes of the Olympics opening. Praise Zeus and Hera.

Thanks for your polite response, the literal meaning of woke does indeed mean aware, however the meaning of the political/cultural nomenclature ' woke' has a few extra dimensions you seem to be unaware of, try Google is my best advice. You will certainly not be exposed to any wokeism in Istanbul. Salam Alaykum I refuse to recognize the corruption of the word 'woke' by the GOP and others. DJ is aware, I won't speak to his reasoning. I personally have decided not to recognize any rebranding efforts of words and most people done by the GOP et al. I remember the GOP snowflakes couldn't agree on a definition of the word woke. Really its used as something to signify stuff they don't like. They already had left, liberal, and not conservative to use. I think they lack focus and just like to fling shit around instead of doing something positive in the world. I actually agree with you, I only use it when I'm trying to get a hissy fit reaction. Thanks for your cooperation.

You could right in part.
The rest of the Arab world will do nothing
Persians aren't Arabs and the population don't care enough to go to war..... what their leaders do is another story. People are unhappy but we haven't seen any signs of a revolution.
Hezbollah will attack from Lebanon of course, and they are well armed.
As for Israel, they'll stop when they have finished .... and it looks like its coming to a conclusion.

Good because your post seemed to be devoid of facts and reason. I liked the Paris Olympics. It was refreshing after the Tokyo Summer games were held in the Covid times without spectators. Don't quit your day job as you seem to have no understanding of Dementia and things that might mimic it. For you and the bots, Biden had Covid, is a stutterer and it was wicked high heat indices over 100 degrees Fahrenheit for more than three weeks. I am painfully aware of the latter part as it did a number on me since I was commuting by NJ Transit bus where some stops do not even have anything resembling a shelter. Just a sign stuck in the ground. If the bus driver sees no one at the stop they just keep going. Oh, and he was hoarse and did that stupid debate anyway. Not sure what Trump's real excuse was for the Elon interview debacle. He doesn't have a FT job. He isn't running a country, state, or even acting as elected dog catcher. He has all the time in the world for self care and doc visits. Calm down, my mother succumbed to Dementia at 85 and died in a care home at 90, there is literally nothing i do not know about dementia from its earliest signs to the end of the spectrum when there are no lights on behind dolls eyes.Joe Biden has been showing signs for over 18 months and the debate fiasco was classic impairment of his mental faculties nothing to do with Covid, jet lag or a high temperature. The following week he called Zelensky Putin for goodness sake. I am Scottish I admire Biden's political career but he just wouldn't let go, it reminded me trying to persuade my mother to give up her car as she thought she was fine. Trump is box office just glad he won't be my President as I think Kamala is thick and will stumble soon enough. A sample of one is simply a sample of one. My mom also died of dementia/Alzheimer's the long version, so over a decade but she was diagnosed in her 70s and died from it at age 85. I am smart enough to know I do not know everything about dementia or Alzheimer's. I was trained on it multiple times by outside specialists when the skilled nursing home I worked for decided to build and open an AL side with a locked floor dementia ward as well. I knew more than a handful of residents from when they came to the facility waiting for that side to open, to their eventual deaths. The journey looked different in all of them, and in a few cases the physical manifestation was nasty. Angry, combative, and known to hit people, to barely being able to move and being wheeled out on a Jerry chair for home visits. I saw a lot, but I suspect hundreds of people less had my facility been just AL and the dementia floor. My neighbors both died of it, the one went quickly b4 I sold, the wife did not even last two years after his death. Some things one cannot predict. Just thankful mom's version was kinder than what her mom had. All Presidents misspeak and do stupid things. Its part of the pressure of the job. Unfortunately, some people need to slow down more than others based on their physicality. Biden is thin, so certain things will take him out faster than full bodied Trump. To me Trump has been showing signs so long, I am surprised he has any functional vocabulary left. Trump has almost totally dropped linking things together. Listening part of his Elon interview was like watching a person on the locked ward trying to tell their inside jokes to their table mates. Blank looks all around.

One thing is certain Israel will never hand Gaza back to Hamas or to any authority who openly threatens their existence, this means Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt must get involved in the administration of Gaza. Apart from the Taliban the Gazans are the most extreme Islamists on our planet which is why no Arab country wants them.

so much to unravel here. so little time. it's funny- i have not heard the term Woke since DeSantis dropped out. woke means "aware". you know that, right? the insult doesn't sting very much to the woke community. they just stare at you blankly, wondering why you prefer to be unaware. anyway, if Trump wins, i am moving out of the country. i already have two apartments in Istanbul. at least i know what i can expect of the authoritarian in charge there. and the food and scenery are better and far less expensive. they can bring me back in an gilded urn. best of wishes to you and the rest of the Trump cult. may all your dreams be wonderful. Thanks for your polite response, the literal meaning of woke does indeed mean aware, however the meaning of the political/cultural nomenclature ' woke' has a few extra dimensions you seem to be unaware of, try Google is my best advice.You will certainly not be exposed to any wokeism in Istanbul. Salam Alaykum i am not much of a fan of "redefining" words. i prefer the dictionary. in this case, the original coining of the term in BLM comports with the dictionary definition. i live in a 3 dimensional world, and i prefer to stick with that. Shalom.

didn't we have a poster named tosh awhile back? I think he got banned. I'll followup in the am, I'm about toast tonight. I remember him like it was only yesterday, very popular, nigh on a genius with the humility of Donald Trump (peace be upon him ). i can't believe that you have used humility and Trump in the same sentence. that's a first for me.

Trump has almost totally dropped linking things together. Listening part of his Elon interview was like watching a person on the locked ward trying to tell their inside jokes to their table mates. Blank looks all around. I am Scottish and have always looked to America to eventually get it right but of late you have me wondering how far down this rabbit hole your country plans to go. You have two parties who seem to have abandoned the concepts of truth and honesty, both are willing to win at any price even if it damages your democratic institutions and the public's trust in government. Republican politicians refused to condemn the actions of Trump when he blatantly refused to accept he lost because it would effect their chances of getting elected. Democrat politicians refused to accept the obvious that Biden had deteriorated to the extent of being unfit because they believed he was their best chance of getting elected. The outcome was the two worst presidential candidates in history. Meanwhile the rest of the free world is scratching their heads thinking when did refusing to accept reality become mainstream America ? Anyway I feel better now, I do enjoy a wee rant now and again.
