There's a good boy.

A failure of the previous president serves to cover the SNAFUs of the leadership of the present president. So it was ANOTHER FAILURE of Orango the Mango?

Sweet.

So what is distracting you from...

- the buffoonery of Chumpy's deal with the Taliban?
- seeing the irony of calling anyone a clown?
- your effrontery of being critical of 'distractions' (2016 - 20?)?!

...it's like you're making things up?

I.E. big talk from Cirus People.

Not having enough oil in your tractor to help put out the fire caused by climate change, of which the greatest contributor is 'transportation', has a certain irony to it.

Dear Webster's:

Please replace the current definition for "irony" with the following...

terrible irony.

these types of laws in a land where red/blue question the competence of each other.

the worst of it is that the castle doctrine is way saner. and installed by our elders of yore.

wouldn't it make more sense if our ancestors supported self-defense in times of less policing, education or other resources? even w/the majority of people living in rural communities, and literacy rates sustainably lower they expected people to have a certain amount of sense. if a person shot another, there had better very good reason to do so.

maybe that's the rub. our foreparents wanted better. not less.

The last paragraph addresses the irony, which is the entirety of my first comment. I did not expect him, when pushing for a legal/policy solution to her problem, to then start attacking red tape for building codes. Enough loans regulation and you'll have the same thing - complaints about not being able to get a loan and the extended processing times.. Then Bill will do a schtick showing us

I think you mean they wouldn't have to pay you the interest. They would have to pay you back the principal. And that would be under specific cases and usually when no contract is involved, also all depends on where you live.

Also, I don't think either Bill's building codes are "new" vs. the usury laws being "existing". Please cite to support.

The irony is that additional laws to stop predatory lending are, in fact, what red tape is made of, by definition. So I found it amusing that he would look at her situation, say that Nancy and team were trying to solve it for her by passing new laws, then go on to complain about all the red tape surrounding this building. That red tape exists because someone else before him saw a problem or safety issue or concern, and put yet another policy or law in place to solve it. In reality, as your posts prove, her problem was not that a predatory lender got involved in her life, but that her business was in bad shape because she had gone off the deep end and was thus losing customers.

I could easily imagine a bit where he showed a stack of papers four inches thick that he had to sign to get a loan, and complain about the processing time, then showcase an SMS based loan that works in another country and funds in one day.

Little bit of irony to call for regulations to prevent ultra high interest loans then decry all the red tape in California.

Oh, the irony https://www.revolt.tv/news/2021/1/8/22221070/woman-trump-supporter-trampled-death-us-capitol

I see the arrests are starting also

I hear an excuse for his lawlessness....an excuse I’m absolutely certain he would not accept from people far more desperate than himself, a business owner with a very expensive new truck, if they interfered with his business or travels, but that he would use to excuse any law breaking he wants to do himself.
Everybody’s got it hard these days, he’s trying to make it harder on those responsible for keeping us safe(er).

I find it the height of irony that the same person who, when innocent unarmed people are killed says they should have complied with the law, here supports this guy breaking multiple laws and arguing with police, not complying, because he was going to be stopped from breaking the law.

this may be peak irony.

anyone else enjoy irony?

not just 🦜 bob's squawking but the surrealism that creeps into the news every so-so?

like the MI mutts that the FBI nailed. the elfin-looking leader - a far-right extremist, trump supporter, angry, dolt - has the surname of Fox.

it's like there is some kind of cosmic comedy in concert.

sing it bob

it's a shame that when president said he has tested positive for covid, the response for many was "what's his angle?"

not surprising for either incident or for the orangettes' "don't be mean to him" (like hill folk have no sense of irony) but this was...

can say haven't found much schandenfreude in his deadly hubris or in his precarious situation but did find some dark humor from this...

https://www.betootaadvocate.com/world-news/fears-grow-for-trumps-ability-to-overcome-covid-19-as-an-obese-elderly-low-income-american1/

...that is fair game.

rather he loses the presidency, and recovers enough to face his trials, true place in history, and witness the steep fall off of the fat-head chasers. take his rightful place among the legacies of paterno, cosby and epstein.

It's apparently spreading through the Whitehouse like a California wildfire in an unraked national forest, and sounds like in the Senate too....at least one segment of the senate. Good thing for them it's just a hoax, one big nothing burger.
Reports are Hope tested positive Wed morning, but Trump still held an intimate fundraiser with top donors Wednesday evening knowing he had been exposed. Now, with his campaign out of money, he's put his biggest donors at high risk, and they are mostly elderly too, a high risk category.

Trump is in at least 3 high risk categories. Elderly, obese, and with heart conditions.

Two words seem to sum up the irony of the "nothing burger" president contracting and personally super spreading the virus that he's downplayed in every way since the outbreak......poetic justice.
