I am really starting to think that the entire "leadership" of the formerly free world has the collective IQ of an eggplant.

Take that back Sir - egg plants are useful and make excellent baba ganoush I'll have you know. I'd refer these 'peoples' as being like amoeba, but even that demeans a single cell micro-organisms that have usefulness and purpose. But you are right, the EU is doomed and I am sure Vlad the Impaler is shaking in his very fancy Russian hand-made leather boots if these young ones decide to enlist and fight in Ukraine or dance there!!!

And what would a 12th century Irish bard know about Lebanese culinary delights?

Three. I grew seven eggplants last year in my garden - for two people. Just a little obsessed.

You're being too generous.

Like eggplant, they'd be better off sliced thinly and fried.

A bit too rancid and greasy for my taste, but would likely make a lovely treat for the pet hyena.

Just what you see, the puppet masters , not so much.

The perennial question when looking at progressives in general, and progressive politicians in particular is:

Community organizer or useful idiot?

It is a bit of a modern twist on the ancient question with general applicability:

Fool or knave?

I hear next time they are going to teach bird calls. Starting with the Booby. And then the passenger pigeon. If they can find one. Budget: 2 million euro.

I think the dodo would be quite apropos.

The number of people who need purposeful canings grows exponentially every minute.

Expand full comment

If only we could bring back canings. And dueling!!

Expand full comment

Mind you, not indiscriminate canings. Purposeful ones.

Expand full comment

Dueling! What an idea

Expand full comment

No, seriously, think of the wars that could be prevented, the reduced load on prisons...it makes total sense.

Expand full comment

Seriously, I like it. But you know someone is going to cheat.

Expand full comment

Ah, you've hit it. That's why it doesn't really exist as such anymore. It requires honor, which is in short supply these days.

Expand full comment

As a strong proponent for bringing back dueling (and then not only banjoes) might I suggest the old norse custom of holmgång?

A rock, maybe some 16'*16' at most, flat and just about sticking up above water is the duelling ground. The duellists are buck naked and only armed with a hand weapon such as an axe or a sword.

The fight can be until first blood or life, it's up to the one wounded first to yield by tossing the weapon and calling out loud enough for witnesses on land to hear, or to dive into the water.

It was done that way precisely to curb cheating.

Haha at first I thought you were talking about the boy who looks similar to a girl, then I saw the blonde with the side eye. So funny! Glad you mentioned it.

LOL....yes...her look ...

The finishes and pauses perfectly timed to show her lol.

you know… this isn’t even good sci-fi. I’m really fucking disappointed in the execution of this dystopia.

Expand full comment

You’re right. Current affairs seem like a concoction of old bad movie plots all mixed together. Part horror, implausible political/spy “thrillers”, and dystopian sci-fi all mixed together by an Ill-natured and thoroughly unpleasant 28 year old living for free in his mother’s basement.

what am i even watching, i don’t understand

Expand full comment

I have no words other than , WTF???!!!!

Who thought of this and WHY!!!

Expand full comment

It’s like everything else, there is no sense

Expand full comment

It's interpretive. It means whatever you want it to mean.

Expand full comment

So, it means nothing?

Expand full comment

That's pretty much my take on it.

Expand full comment

Do they even realize how cringe it all is?! Or do they find it profound?

Expand full comment

I think maybe the cringe is the point.

What's sad is that they really think they're "making a difference."

Looks like its springtime for Versailles in 1789! I think that did not end well for the elite of the day.

I posted a minute ago on Yuri's blog that we should just take away everyone's allowances...

Expand full comment

I'm listening.........

Expand full comment

I've remarked to friends, occasionally, over the years, that we should treat almost everyone like intelligent dogs. Simple clear commands and appropriate discipline. No arguments, just predictable responses to misbehavior. Consistent, fair and inexorable.

Expand full comment

And treats if you're a good boy? I love treats, yes I do! And I can be a good boy sometimes if there are treats and I'm sorry if I get so excited about the treats that I pee on the rug but I'm still a good boy, right?

Expand full comment

Oh no--not if you do THAT...

(I did not hand out treats to my own real dog, may she live in blessed memory, and I felt contempt towards those who did, as part of training. I wanted obedience because of love, not bribery...)

Expand full comment

Please.

Bribery and deception are the primary tools of good parenting, be the young human or canine.

As a toddler, my eldest daughter was potty-trained in less than 48 hours through the judicious application of gummy bears, and did not wear a diaper again until being forced to don the facial variety.

Our youngest labrador, just under two years old, is a total punk with a particular and rather disturbing obsession with socks, that is being effectively, albeit slowly, treated with puppuccinos.

We have high hopes for a full recovery, but fear vestiges of the fetish will haunt him for the duration.

Expand full comment

I think you'll find our proverbial mutts have gotten very very accustomed to the treats, and may snap at you if you take them away.

Expand full comment

Oh sure. That's why thick leather gauntlets are made...

Are you talking about POTUS?

Expand full comment

And seeing as we're all cats...

Expand full comment

Ewww gross. Sorry, all that brought to mind was the puppy guy Biden’s Admin just hired. Know what I mean?

Expand full comment

OK--treat 'em like toddlers then. Same principles work for each, though the toddlers may require a little more cuddling with the discipline. That's cuddling, not coddling.

Expand full comment

Good thinking

Expand full comment

I am steadily becoming convinced that these are deliberate and being used to determine exactly how much absurdity will be accepted or ignored by the majority of the population (Hint: a lot).

Expand full comment

Note how not a single person in there laughed out loud. That takes some serious discipline, or a brain completely shut off from reality.

Expand full comment

Given the venue - probably the latter.

The fact is the European Parliament ("EP") doesn't have anything better to do with its time (except waste money) and, since Farage left, has also lost all its comedy value. The EP is essentially a rubber stamp and as an elected body, it's existence is solely an (expensive!) attempt to pretend that the EU is "democratic".

All the executive power rests with The Commission which is appointed, in reality mostly by the hidden Puppet Masters, the Globalist/WEF cabal. Hence, in making the latest decisions to destroy the European economy (under instructions), they have nothing to fear because they are accountable to nobody and don't have to worry about re-election. Perfect set-up for them!

Anti-democracy anyone?
