That’s impressive actually. My knees aren’t great, I can’t do high ladders.

How did you enrage the bees, I’m guessing you tried to impress them with your amazing artistry?

Nice work

I really do wish I was there to see it. Usually when I enrage the yellow jackets I try to talk them down or perhaps appease them with a bit of overripe fruit. Honestly this never works and I end up getting stung.

As an aside, I was just thinking, you do realize that Trump’s push to make the Fed cut interest rates, start trade wars, extend tax cuts for the rich, kill solar and wind energy development, halt Biden’s infrastructure spending, unpend the agricultural labor supply, disrupt scientific research and international collaboration on infectious diseases, slash government spending for food and assistance programs for the elderly and poor, cut Medicaid…god I’m out of breath…

You do realize this is going to absolutely pound the working people you declared have “spoken” right?

Asking for a friend.

FFOTUS released 1500 more wackos who have already attacked the government, we’ll see if any of them do some assasinating.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

The big baby pulled the security details off General Milley. Serve your country with honor and distinction then have the thin skinned baby tell his thugs and Iran come get him he is now fair game. Speak out against Trump and he will show the world how petty and cowardly he is.

Sounds like he’s just looking for a way out of this discussion.
