Good job. They picked someone who was punished for his lying...:hmm:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I'm pointing out that the meme is silly.

yeah, the protestors don't have a legitimate argument, except for their broad anger toward anything oil/perceivedly unfair towards the natives. but they've been mostly fine and non-violent. they've been protesting where I work a few times, and they seem like good folk. the locals' reaction and distrust/hate for them is standard rural people disliking foreigners, focusing on some isolated incidences of vandalism. will be interesting to see how many stay and for how long.

Well the pipeline is now going to be rerouted.

CNN talks about the "Army Corp of Engineers." Has the spelling of corps changed when I wasn't looking? Or is Trump already privatizing parts of the military? :unsure:

yeah, it's pretty funny. I'm kinda hoping trump doesn't reverse the decision, because the outrage so far has been great

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I too am confused and angered by your explanation

Don't get it.
You don't?

Well, me neither...

He's a grass.

Well that marks him out as one of the less offensive people on Twitter.  :P

Maybe. But the whole 'get these peasants away from me' angle isn't so lovely.
