You know that Trump just told the generals to have 'a parade.'

Kim or Putin would know exactly which tanks and units he wanted, would have specified how many flyovers, and sweated all the details.

[off topic]

I can't remember the author or title of the story.

Napoleon wants to give his enemies false information, so he picks a courier who looks bold and dashing, but has a reputation for being a complete fuck up.

The idiot manages to fumble his way past a dozen patrols and deliver the orders.

Exactly what they didn't want.

"Well structured query" is what got me.

If I read up on a subject for two hours, chances are I am going to learn things that have nothing to do with the original problem.

My take is that there are a lot of Left people who won't vote for anyone except a candidate they support 100%. Hilary Clinton should have destroyed Trump. Those people ignore the simple truth that any time any GOP gets elected the whole country moves to the right.

Kamala Harris has entered the chat...

Purity politics is the only kind some people understand.

People are downvoting you, I assume because they think you are lauding some other east Asian billionaire.

iirc Epi-pen is the usual treatment, and those things are pretty easy to obtain.

I think that OP philpo is on to something, that the medical staff was a bit slow to deal with the situation.

I read a detective novel years ago. One character said that even when people are lying, they always reveal a lot when they are boasting.

I was hoping for folks to show up and block the parade.

Just having it be a wet firecracker is a much better outcome.

Trump said it himself, he hasn't matured at all since he was in first grade.

This book is a thriller written around 1965. About two thirds through the book a character shows up. He's was born rich and he's a spoiled idiot with questionable habits. Turns out he's a Russian asset who is happy to help destroy the system that gave him everything.

Of course, this is a work of fiction and shouldn't be treated as anything else.
