In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Maybe I'm being stupid, but can someone explain to me why it's anti-Semitic? The fact that the right-wing pro-Israel lobby is upset doesn't tell us much.

Maybe WPT can answer that, I don't get it but cartoons have caused more carnage. ( je suis charlie) Depicting the Israeli PM as a dog, and a dachshund at that, as a guide dog for Trump, is low on taste at minimum. It doesn't offend me but I have a high tolerance level and don't see it as anti semetic, but I'm not Jewish.

Edit, I don't see the need to delete Wokko's post, it could have been edited similar to mine above. Just saying.

Meanwhile, this might seem a bit mystifying to those who don’t consume hysterical US liberal media sources, but, yes, Democrat army-general-worshipping is a real (and highly cringeworthy) phenomenon:

And any governor-general a future Coalition government might appoint, I dare say...

Menwhile Trump is indignant about the horse that finished first in the Kentucky Derby being disqualified after flattening 2 other runners. Clearly never known a jockey who was a quadraplegic or died as a result of a fall caused by a another jockeys incompetence.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Thus destroying the narrative, again, that Trump cheated on or didn't pay his taxes. He suffered huge losses and has offset those against his future profits.

That story reads more like a leak from the Trump camp than anything. Like the previous tax return leak it shows he pays everything he owes and offsets past losses whenever possible. When you have a net worth I'm the billions you take risks and they don't always pay off. Nothing at all surprising really.
