All of the world should have done the same, right from the start.

Juan Guaidó is now in the US of Russia, home of the largest drug market in the world. Gotta be much more comfortable.

I went to UofT in the 1970s. The towers downtown created such nasty wind vortices that were so uncomfortable, regardless of your coat. Add in the higher humidity. Give me -20°C in a drier climate.

She admires Margaret Thatcher & wants to privatise the oil industry. Sounds like a perfect fit for the US of Russia.

Are you completely oblivious to international laws? Do you believe any country s/b able to attack anyone else, at any time, for any reason at all?
Or maybe you're a fan of chaos and death.

Soldiers in WWII had crotch rot, so they figured circumcision was a good idea.
I howled & cursed when I was done, and didn't shut up until I had a shot of fine whisky.
