Another by-election, but this time it's the one we all wanted!

He is re-standing in the expensive by-election that he's triggering, the incompetent grifter continues to waste public money.

From FacePalm:

The Other 98%


"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction." Senator Claude Malhuret stood up in the French Senate this week and systematically torched every single member of Trump's cabinet.
Nobody was spared. Not one.
"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court," Malhuret began. Then he went through the roster.
"An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health." (That's RFK Jr)
"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy." (That's Scott Bessent)
"An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces." (That's Pete Hegseth)
"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice." (That's Pam Bondi, whose former firm collected $115,000 a month lobbying for Qatar)
"A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security." (That's Tulsi Gabbard)
Then he pulled back and went bigger.
"A Turkish proverb says: when a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king. It is the palace that becomes a circus."
Malhuret pointed out that since Trump created his so-called Board of Peace, he has launched more military strikes than Biden did in his entire term. He called out the Boeing jet Qatar gifted Trump worth $400 million.
He called out the stock market manipulation that only insiders benefit from. He called out the Gulf investment deals enriching Trump and his family.
"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret said. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."
Then came the line that cut deepest. "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction."
This is how the world sees us now. Not through Fox News. Not through Truth Social. Through the cold, clear eyes of allied nations watching a great country be hollowed out by crooks.
Every American should hear this speech. Share it everywhere.

Still alive habibi, got a bit sick again, but on the mend once more.

Egyptians do indeed have amazingly tasty watermelons and during the season you'll see huge piles of them next to the speedbumps on the main roads where they sell them to passing cars as they slow down.

No real issues here, the weather's warmed up a lot after a crappy 3 weeks of sandstorms.

Thank you for your concern - I'm more worried about the daily crap that you're going through at Orange Holocaust Ground Zero. Stay strong, we'll all get through this.

Made the mistake last night of accepting an invite to a farewell party for some friends who are leaving the country for a while, a gathering of 16 friends of the couple who were leaving.

I offered to arrange the ordering and deal with the restaurant staff, as I speak Arabic and know the staff fairly well. It was refused, as was an offer of "lets pay X a per head and they'll bring a banquet suitable for us all" - which has worked out extremely well in the past at this restaurant, was greeted with "no, I want to select from the menu and have my own bill".

Needless to say, the extrovert person who had "organised" the get-together, didn't arrive at the correct time to greet all those invited and ensure the restaurant was prepared and hadn't booked the restaurant properly, so they were not expecting a large party to descend and didn't have the fish stocks in to cater for us all. The ones who arrived drunk were too busy talking loudly to each other to respond properly to staff when asked for their order and then proceeded to blame the restaurant when they didn't have the items available or the wrong order came.

We excused ourselves 5 minutes after everyone had finished eating as, due to the meds I'm on, I needed to leave. Honest.

I suppose it's given us the benefit of knowing a few people whose invitations to gatherings we'll avoid in the future. We also enjoyed the rest of the night with our cats and watching trash TV.

It reminded me of why we don't accept party invitations.

Meal and dancing out tonight with 2 lovely new neighbours from Czech Republic, which will be far easier to deal with.

I so need a T-Shirt with :
Front- I'm an Introvert
Back- Fuck off and leave me alone!

Currently about 27°C here in the evenings, no jacket required.

Stay away from the hate, don't let it find you. If it does find you, kill it quickly and hide the bodies x

Achouya,
I miss our daily discourse but my mental health is struggling with the concept of the USA being remotely relevant in the world.

I check in to see how you and the others I love are doing in this shitshow of fash.

I do, however, begin t see rays of light coming through the darkness.

Eid Mubarak.

To paraphrase:
Ask yourself not, How stupid is your orange turd of a President, but rather,
How utterly thick as pigshit are the inbred morons who support him?

The reaper is waiting!
