Volume.
There's just so much that it becomes fog. Which do you
concentrate on?
He knocked down the East Wing, he wrecked the pool, he
invaded Venezuela and is now stealing their oil, he
invaded Iran, he says LA is a small price to pay, he will
arm the arc, he threatens to invade Greenland, he
threatens Canada. Which do you concentrate on?
Tomorrow it will be something else, then the day after,
and the day after that.
Everything is an outrage, a true outrage, but it is
superseded by the next outrage and the sheer volume means
yesterday's outrage gets pushed further down the pile.

That's partly the plan, James. But we all know that.
If you throw TOO much at the wall, nothing sticks.
I know I shouldn't be a conspiracy theorist like the other side, but as more time goes by, I think about that shooting in Butler, PA and think, hmmm. He certainly was quick on his feet, striking a pose and shouting a slogan.
Damn it, now I AM as bad as they.

I’m with you there Edward. I am utterly convinced that shooting was staged.
Things like the footage of the photographers being ushered into position
was the final straw for me.
If that footage is false, then fair enough.
And those idiots that wore the ear bandages? Oh my giddy aunt.

I’d never seen/heard this before and now, counting this, I’ve gotten it twice
today!

The majority of the voting public wanted to elect the shit sandwich & a 64 oz. of warm urine just to watch and laugh while the libs consume it.
Less than 14 months later, that same voting majority are now forced to eat the same meal.
I'm sure it's not funny any longer.
It's brings a smile to my face listening to them whine ☺️

Oh my giddy aunt
———-
A popular UK expression of surprise/shock/disbelief - I think it is more of a
northern thing. We said it all the time in Yorkshire, I don’t hear it so much in
the Midlands.
Where else did you see/hear it today Brian?

I am 25 years younger than he, and if I came that close to a bullet, I would not stand up. I would not even be able to speak. I would not be able to move, much less come up with a slogan on the spot.

James, i used to hear "Oh my giddy aunt" a lot in the 70's
and 80's but rarely hear it now. A lot of these regional
idioms seem to be dying out. One in particular that i have
only heard Walsall people say is "Gom" instead of "God" i
used to hear it a lot as a kid but not nowadays!
A modern variation of "Oh my giddy aunt" i hear mainly from
Affro/Caribbean people is "Oh my days" and is used in the
same context.

At my school two years ago a Filipino student popularized “Oh my days.”

I cannot believe he is going to buy Russian oil just so
he can improve his chances in the mid terms.
Well, I can, because he is that much of a bastard. But
this makes everything that has been fought for, by
everyone over the last few years, either directly by
Ukrainians or indirectly by those who have seen energy
prices sky rocket, a complete and utterly waste of time.
Russia will now have funds to destroy Ukraine and Trump
has handed them to it.
The word evil is a strong word, and can be bandied around
too often. But that man is evil in my eyes. Evil to the
core.
