😁 No, all those stories about 5G causing it, Bill Gates implanting micro robots that will control the world through vaccinations, all of it totally true! The only part they got wrong, was that it was Elon Musk and Starlink behind it, not BG. And I have proof! Just look at the newest version of government in the USA and tell me that it didn't work, half the people on half a continent, all behaving like Grade threes. I tell you, World War Z is happening right now, call Bradd Pitt or we are doomed!

Ps You did notice my tongue very deep in my cheeck didn't you? (Before the CIA come-a-knockin! Or a Tesla from space falls on my head!)

You left out that this was all started by vegans!

Someone needs to have a kind word with this gent.  Look at how ridiculous this is.  I'm not even going into the US stock market at one stage losing 1 000 points yesterday (ending with ($4 trillion value losses), or the GDP going from +3.9% to ﹣2.8% in his short tenure, or the $4 trillion increased debt burden that he applied for and that congress approved.  All that tarrifs talk against Canada and Mexico causing financial panic, and talk was all it was.  None implemented.  All of them walked back, twice.  Some economists are calling it a looming Trumpcession.  With no structural reason for plummeting stock values, the losses are being tied directly to his actions.  So much for being the business guy.

Look at all that makeup.  He even made up the one eye and not the other.  This is an unmanipulated photo.  I've never seen something quite as ridiculous in any president, ever.  Please will someone tell the poor guy?

Tonight coming back from dinner (we walked to a nearby restaurant) we walked passed our local graveyard….. and I noticed a whole row of new graves with wooden crosses… about 15 of them and eerily my first thought was of this time 5 years ago

Hah!  Yes, thank you!  My post was more about how ridiculous number 47's plastered-on thick cosmetics application appeared, with him even plastering makeup around one eye and not the other.  Your link wrt Zuma is much appreciated.

Interestingly, top ANC leaders at the time were warned about his repeated thieving and forceful ways with women from his earliest days in exile in his 20's.  He told new arrivees from SA that their SA cash wouldn't work, but that he'd do them the favour of exchanging it for local currency.  Takes little imagination to realise how that went.  The guy is so bent that if he swallowed a nail he'd expel a corkscrew.

I was dismayed when he turned up at an ex in-laws' family celebration.  After all, they're educated, successful professionals with unflinching integrity, properly good mense.  And they well know how I regard that Mensa no-hoper and his family, who all seem to be the offspring of encounters between a hyena and a poisonous toad.  I avoided talking with him or shaking his hand, I'd never embarrass the in-laws.

The utterances of an idiot:

 

PS.  I hope it's clear that there's zero political motivation behind my comments, just observations about seriously flaky individuals.
