My groaner for the day.

Diogenes comments on Mar 11, 2021:

Good one. Need a groaner to start the day.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Diogenes comments on Mar 11, 2021:

I have never had 'foresight'--- and there have been too many so-called "experiments" that have gone wrong!

Diogenes comments on Mar 11, 2021:

Yes! Then there is the realization of what is of importance and valuable. A few days back I saw a fat man polishing his Mercedes. He will probably be 'dead' before the car. When he has a premature death he will own nothing.

I was stationed in Bahrain for 6 months. Never got used to being woken up at 5 AM

Diogenes comments on Mar 9, 2021:

It is bad enough that there is a propensity for stupidity--- but then to have the compulsion to blurt it out so the whole world hears it!

Works for me

Okay, that is truthful--- and funny!

Maybe, but those opposable thumbs sure come in handy

Diogenes comments on Mar 8, 2021:

Too much truth there!

Diogenes comments on Mar 8, 2021:

In this insane world- anyone going around telling the truth will pay the price.

The reason people use a crucifix against vampires is because vampires are allergic to bullshit.

A good one!

Is there a formula?

Suck it in----he has the biggest cheeks in town! The 'male-it' still is not as ugly as Dump.

Another gem from the curmudgeon's curmudgeon.

“Being generous often consists of simply extending a hand.

Diogenes comments on Mar 3, 2021:

A very valid point! I have often been 'down and out'--- and when it happens, 'just one more time', presented by the plutocrats, the latte-drinking crowd, it is time to change the 'as usual', the state of so-called "normal".

Hey now! Not everyone can afford the fancy Albacore

Diogenes comments on Mar 2, 2021:

Yes, but didn't John (Marian) Wayne and his Hollywood Army win WW2? Sickening! Disgusting!

I often wondered how much extra they had to tip for this seating arrangement.

Diogenes comments on Mar 2, 2021:

I saw one of those 'Jesus at the table pictures'; this picture had a dude with his head on the shoulder of Jeezuz. I had this caption in mind from Jeezuz, "Why do I always have to sit beside Ugly Mary?"

“We’re all born princes, and the civilizing process turns us into frogs.” Eric Berne

Diogenes comments on Mar 1, 2021:

That's a western view of the world, about being "princes"- in some parts of the world there are 'sick frogs' that early turned into dead frogs. Fucking nasty, isn't it?

Logic or illogic?

Diogenes comments on Feb 28, 2021:

Do NOT consider me a racist- I have friends of all colours- even so-called "white". The term "people of colour": what is the alternative? What do people of 'no-colour' look like? Can they even be seen?

Diogenes comments on Feb 28, 2021:

Never heard of Tacitus; obviously where the noun "tactics" came from. Yes, in periods of quietness some great ideas are found- but evil men are dislodged only by forceful means. Civilized ideas in the last four years produced nothing.

Diogenes comments on Feb 25, 2021:

This is not word-play- I like to be right, so how can I be right about an idea when I am wrong? I do not mind having facts, that are unknown to me, being pointed out.

Donald Trump getting ready for a night out

Diogenes comments on Feb 24, 2021:

Better get anothe gallon of paint---- that is a lot of lard to cover.

I'd worship me.

Diogenes comments on Feb 24, 2021:

I have mentioned this before, when I was in Costa Rica there was a dude dressed in the total clabre. He had "returned". Wearing no shoes in San Jose just tells the whole story of how delusional he was.

Just read this and thought it noteworthy.

Diogenes comments on Feb 24, 2021:

I am missing parts of this, but RBG makes a point. Do they allow old geezers back in basic school?

Yes, to see and "know"- even if we have to be taken out of our comfort zone to do it.

Finally the quote I intended to post when I joined this group, perhaps my favorite political quote ...

Diogenes comments on Feb 23, 2021:

I have forgotten the quote and will probably not express the intent well enough. "The common man will one day have a leader that has been drawn down to his level." Of course, then there was Dump, and no "drawing down" was needed.

Just saw the new MyPillow ad: stuff that was $89 plus shipping Is now $29 with free shipping.

Ted Cruz in Mexico

Diogenes comments on Feb 20, 2021:

Teddy is a true Dumpster ideologue- people can die by the hundreds of thousands but the only person of any importance is lard-guts Cruz.

“The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism.

Diogenes comments on Feb 20, 2021:

Religion is just a big joke. Hitchens has just evaluated the obvious. He has forgotten to appraise the religious people who have died doing humanist work. Yes, they probably would do the same work if they were secular- and I have never met anyone yet, that didn't have some kink in their personallity. An example of that, although not involved with religion, Bo Jo is not bright enough to find a comb and comb his hair. He always wants to look like the village moron.

Diogenes comments on Feb 18, 2021:

Yes, living in reality, means that a person must also get out of their comfort zone at times.

Anne Feeney, folk singer and political activist, dies at 69. Born July 1, 1951- Death Feb. 3, 2021

Diogenes comments on Feb 18, 2021:

I have never heard of Anne Feeney. Big thanks for putting that on. There is something to think about. When all the people in the western world from the lowly factory worker to the top engineers are replaced by cheaper labour from China- where is China going to find buyers amongst the unemployed? Corporate greed solves no problems- even the problem of their own greed.

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear”.

Diogenes comments on Feb 6, 2021:

So-called being "fearless", may have little to with courage- but more to stupidity. Mr. Clement had it right again.

Beware, beware, there are sharks out there! :-D

What a wonderful contrast to the crappy Trump sessions!

Diogenes comments on Feb 1, 2021:

Ya, the 'blue' girl is better looking-- and Dump's blather was repetative, worn out, tired and boring even when blondie trys to stick her finger up your nose.

Well really, what would you spend a windfall on? :-D

Well Kathy had the last part right, in my opinion,if that matters, but to add to that thought, respect for Nature- and also the other residents of this rock, whether biped or quadruped. I am agnostic. I don't know and I will not claim any unsustainable answers. I do not know if there was a functioning brain that started all this. The last "Big Bang" was 14 billion years ago.

Diogenes comments on Jan 29, 2021:

Looking at the same face every day is boring- that is the truth! It takes work to acheive positive results. All of Donald John's conquests did not meet his 'perfectionist' tastes. He should look in the mirror.

Paddy and Sean have been unemployed for years.

I’m not sure if Einstein said this - I just like the quote.

Diogenes comments on Jan 25, 2021:

Einstein's humility! When asked what it feels like to be the smartest person in the world, his reply was, "I don't know; you will have to ask Nicoli Tesla."

“Man’s inhumanity to man, makes countless thousands mourn!”.

Diogenes comments on Jan 25, 2021:

But it also makes sadists, like Trump, very happy. I have lost touch; St Andrew's Day is also soon?

That is an euphemism I've honestly never heard.

Okay, I had to laugh at that one.

‘We cannot adjust the wind, but we can adjust the sails.’ Author unknown

Diogenes comments on Jan 24, 2021:

I had a fat little boat, wind on the beam or stern and the 'thing' would fly---- close hauled, forget it! Lesson learned: don't buy a "fat" saiboat, don't make mistakes- adusting sails will make no difference.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire”.

Diogenes comments on Jan 23, 2021:

True- if the student has curiosity!

Which is why he was totally disinterested in actually doing the job

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2021:

Anything he has done has been a loss- but finally the stupid sucker crowd is getting very small. I would like to see him, 'very slim---- and starving', as he empties garbage cans for a living.

I'm kind of suspicious of the new White House housekeeper.

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2021:

Obviously it is not him/her; the "house keeper" has a tool of manual labour in its hands.

[newsthump.com] Still keeping up his normal routine as much as possible

Anyone ready to start a McConnell Pinata group? [alternet.org]

Diogenes comments on Jan 22, 2021:

It seems he thinks it is still the party of the Dumpster- and will never again be the party of Lincoln. I am just waiting for the millions of lawsuits to be filed against DUMP for corona illness.

Soon. Very soon.

Diogenes comments on Jan 21, 2021:

THAT is 'appropriate'! How did they photograph what his thoughts are- all snarling and evil?

Not a meme but note the serene look on my face as I drink my first post-Trump beer this afternoon.

Diogenes comments on Jan 21, 2021:

400,000 murders! Wouldn't mind reading about his lynching!

Bonus, I learned a new word today!

Diogenes comments on Jan 19, 2021:

And I thought the shit was coming out of Dump's mouth--- not going into it? Loved that word- made me laugh! It is the $1.50, mot du jour--- and I only have $1.25 in my pocket! LOL.

Well part of it is fantastic genes- the rest is having a functioning brain and enjoying great food that helps health, instead of hindering it. Yes, Happy Birthday Betty!

Nostalgic review of tiny fraction of Donald Trump's truth deficit disorder.

Diogenes comments on Jan 18, 2021:

There would have been covid deaths- but the murder of at least 200,000, men, women AND CHILDREN, has to top the list. And he has not completed his murders yet in the states capitals.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! [dailymail.co.uk]

Diogenes comments on Jan 18, 2021:

Diogenes comments on Jan 17, 2021:

But after four years, his "tax audit" will be released about Jan 21st. even if it is NOT by him!

Trump now says he "wants a big sendoff." It's a dog whistle.

Diogenes comments on Jan 17, 2021:

"Dog whistle" gave me the idea of dozens of yappy, little dogs yapping at his heels and shredding his pants. He is one of the few inhabitants of the White House who hates all things, including dogs.

I was due to start my training tomorrow but not much point now

I've seen the pillow advert a million times--- but never paid much attention to it. Apparently Lindell should have had the pillow strapped to his head the many times he dived 'intu thet thar' cement pond with no water.

To be honest, I was pretty sure it would end up worse than it is.

Diogenes comments on Jan 17, 2021:

There would have been deaths from the virus------ BUT not 400,000!!! Too bad Dump didn't leave the land of the living before he had a chance to commit all these murders.

Diogenes comments on Jan 17, 2021:

I can do the two-finger 'typing', if that is what I can term it, but I get stressed when I am speaking in front of a group. There was a town-hall meeting about selling marijuana in the county. I. opposed it- I made a fool of myself. Then there was the high-priced lawyer who spoke loquaciously about the tax revenue, the tight controls and the safety of it. It is great to know that when a person gets lung cancer, that they died the premature, "safe" way! The lungs are not meant for any kind of smoke- but some young people refuse to acknowledge this.

For sure! But who will show up? Anyone with money has already left the sunken ship.

Would it be too far fetched to compare Donald Trump with King Henry XVIII of England?
