That whole article is quite a ride, isn't it? That's hilarious!

Are there tampon dispensers in the boys’ lavatories?

How do you think we would otherwise stop our nose bleeding after a fight?

GOP not only defunding the tax police https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/23/p...licans-abolishbut cancelling them.

Within the first week of the new Congress, a dozen GOP lawmakers introduced a bill that would abolish the IRS altogether.
Separately, the GOP majority House voted to rescind nearly $80 billion in funding for the agency that Democrats approved last year.

Whatever happened to the party of law and order?

Neither bill stands a chance of making it into law anytime soon.

I thought UK school boys' lavatories are special!

An offer too good to be true

From the Wall Street Journal
An offer to buy shares in a company whose owner told us just a few days ago it was heading for bankruptcy.

And chapter #34,587 of cancel culture. Of course it's cancel culture, it is not finding out actions have consequences

Will Elon Musk be blamed for this too?!

Further reflects what a ridiculous knee-jerk decision it was to ban the former president two years ago.

Donald Trump to be allowed back on to Facebook and Instagram

Why am I not surprised....

Imagine they would have suggested that they would have used the wrong pronounce or hated someone on a cellular level

No, you've got the wrong demon. This one is Mark "I need more money" Zuckerberg. Love him or hate him, Trump generates a lot of clicks and page views and that equates to money.

Perhaps this is a factor, not sure it will help as it seems the former President is unwilling to leave Truth Social. If it is the case then all it shows is that these companies have zero morals (which we knew anyway), making more of a mockery of the original decision to ban him.

Eh? That makes zero sense or logic...

Where does the "morals" aspect come from?

Also makes zero sense. What does Elon have to do with this, Facebook and Instagram are his competition.

An extreme form of cancel culture

The California State Bar yesterday charged John Eastman, an attorney closely allied with former President Donald Trump, with 11 disciplinary counts related to his alleged scheme to overturn President Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 election.

The Office of Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona intends to seek Eastman’s disbarment, according to a press release from the State Bar of California.

"Specific charges allege that Eastman made false and misleading statements regarding purported election fraud, including statements on January 6, 2021, at a rally in Washington, D.C., that contributed to provoking a crowd to assault and breach the Capitol to intimidate then-Vice President Pence and prevent the electoral count from proceeding."

If the state plucks Eastman’s license, that could put the former Justice Clarence Thomas clerk’s Supreme Court bar membership in further jeopardy as well.
He’s lead counsel on a Supreme Court amicus brief — meaning a brief filed by an outside party not directly involved in the case — supporting North Carolina Republicans and the so-called independent state legislature theory in Moore v. Harper.

Apart from the Capitol riot, I believe a lot of time is wasted in the US courts by lawyers bringing hopeless cases and any effort to reduce this is welcome.

Interesting debate on whether Sam Smith's new release vid is too much for the faint of heart, with some inexplicably drawing comparisons with the rape, violence and sex trafficking antics of Andrew Tate.

It seems that even those who are the fiercest proponents of free speech and freedom of expression have a limit when it tickles their own sensibilities and makes them feel uncomfortable...

It is unnecessarily vulgar to say the least and yes I personally think there should be age restrictions..

The first high-profile hearing in front of the House Oversight Committee for the new Republican majority investigating President Joe Biden’s administration and family turned out to be a nothing burger.
