The New Coffee Room

If someone made up a scenario to inflict maximum embarrassment on the US, it wouldn’t look too different from this.

I’m really enjoying the Olympic quality mental gymnastics on display to defend this.

$5.20 in Seattle.

This whole thing is so dishonorable and emasculating for the country. What an embarrassment.

If I were Greenland, I’d maybe consider trying to get the US to invade.

You can end up with a pretty sweet deal.

He is right. I think we’re also relentlessly focused on ourselves. We’re of no use to anyone else.

Everything - down to childcare - can be turned into a financial transaction.

Your work is a transaction.

No one is needed anymore.

I don’t understand why republicans aren’t revolting against this.

Now Trump is chastising Israel for retaliating against Hezbollah because it puts his “deal” at risk.

What a treacherous coward. Disgrace to the office.

What a clown show. Iranian statements are more credible than the US government. Sad.

Makes sense - I wouldn’t expect that western news got very much past the headlines.

Thanks - back the main topic….

I should have been much more specific. My question was about the assignation of India Ghandi and the popular narrative at the time in the West.

I was a baby at the time it happened.

I didn’t realize that. Sikh’s are anything but foul. Rather surprising.

Maybe take a moment off from slagging off the Pakis with your British chums and go look up what happened to Indira Gandhi (a rather foul Hindu, incidentally, if you listen to Salman Rushdie).

So, when you made an assumption about who the killer was, it was perfectly natural, but when the police made a completely different but equally wrong assumption, it was because they were hopelessly woke?

I’ve always been curious. What was the take of a regular Brit observer on that whole episode?

Has anyone here gotten their ApoA and ApoB checked, or their CAC? I was going to ask for that in my next round.

ApoB in particular is supposed to be the best predictor of adverse cardiovascular events.

Impressive - how is your LDL so low? I’m guessing your consumption of saturated fat is super low.

My LDL is much higher - I eat lots of saturated fat. My trigs are really low though (I think they were 40 last time I measured).

Adorable that they coordinated the tie and dress color (My wife still does that)

Personally - number 7

This guy is and always has been deeply Unamerican.

That’s good news. Any word on if there was another crew member?

Between Iran doing what they’ve done, being pissed off and Hegseth proclaiming “no quarter” - this is not good.

Is this real? Pure vanity and ego. Would be embarrassing for any person with even an iota of shame.

Ha! Just cancelled it. I was under the impression Mickey was coming from Netflix. Should have thought a little harder.
