Willowed:

This will be an odd question: does anyone else remember the alternate ending to The Producers that NBC used for their first showing of it (would have been around 1971 - yeah, I'm really 29)?

9 I can't figure what it is about aussie vowels when they speak. There is some sort of stealthy "rrr" sound always hiding in there somewhere but I can't pin it down where or how. I can't mimic it, or write down a phonic form of it. I don't hate it. It all sounds perfectly fine and I like the sound of it. But what's going on might as well be magic.

The Minister of Technology (cut to photograph of minister with a wombat on his shoulder) met the three Russian leaders (Russian leaders again all with wombats on their shoulders) today to discuss a £4 million airliner deal....none of them were indigenous to Australia, carried their young in pouches, or ate any of those yummy Eucalyptus leaves.

Here's an HP Omnibook at Walmart with a 16 inch screen, an Intel Core 7 chip, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $479.
https://shorturl.at/emupx

That's not a bad deal for those specs.
If that screen size is too big for you then a 14" or 15" can probably be found that's cheaper.

26 I got to see and pet a wombat at a zoo in Hobart, Tasmania. We also saw Roos and koalas. Btw, Tasmanian devils do NOT spin around in circles and go “rooow bleh grrr tthhh arglebargle battle” like we were told.

They are kinda intimidating though. And they do not smell nice.

38 Wombats are feral, aggressive, and can be very dangerous. They are surprisingly strong with sharp teeth and claws.

They look all cute in the video with the pretty girls, but don't be fooled.

There's an awful lot of bullshit out there to try to normalize turning dangerous wild animals into house pets.

50 "R" has faded from the British dialect, but it still wanders around and pops up randomly when they aren't expecting it, such as "Cuber" for "Cuba."

This is also why Brit actors doing American accents often seem to be growling. They are forcing themselves to pronounce "r." See Andrew Lincoln saying "Coral" for "Carl" in The Walking Dead, for instance.

BREAKING: President Trump has officially terminated every Executive Order and all other documents Joe Biden signed with the autopen:

“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United
States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him.”

“I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

President Trump says he is throwing out every document Joe Biden signed using an autopen.

This would include pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the Biden family, and members of the House January 6 committee.

President Trump warns that if Joe Biden lies about using the autopen he will face perjury charges.

Applying the rule to Kelly and the rest of the Left's rhetoric at least has a logical connection to cause and effect.

95 Aww. So CUTE, but would easily outlive me now and the large majority of the family are simply educated slugs who wouldn't step up for a wombat's care.

Additionally, the remaining animal is a box turtle is in his late 30s to early 40s that cost a small fortune to have a leg operated on some months ago, and now needs a luxury living environment.

I pulled theAcurite weather station down, and disassembled it. Was chock full of cobwebs, which had locked the rain guage preventing it from functioning, and had blocked the air flow around temperature / humidity sensors.

All cleaned up and de-spidered. New batteries, and all electronics factory reset. We'll see how it does before the end of year deep discount sales happen.

98 >>While it seems pardons could be included, since he didn't call them out, I don't think he's planning on picking that fight...yet. But putting all those folks on notice to not feel comfortable...

As I said, that was the short version. The long version not only mentioned pardons it started off by specifically listing pardons and he said 92% of all pardons were signed by autopen.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I love that Trump is always on offense instead of just bowing to judges. He wins most of those fights too. He's got a boat load of lawyers, he isn't just shooting from the hip.

Chevrolet has outdone themselves once again with their new profoundly emotional, pro-family Christmas commercial.

Chills from beginning to end.

105 I suspect that the courts will not allow Trump to cancel Biden's autopen pardons and orders. I wonder what the MAGA team will quietly accomplish while the FNM and leftist judges are going apeshit over the thought of it, hopefully some good stuff.

And with a bit of luck congress will pass a law that the autopen may not be used for official business but only for the "Happy birthday congrats on hitting 102 years" cards and things.

Looks like the left's economic blackout plan to ruin the economy and blame Trump doesn't have many participants. But they'll claim success anyway.

112 I wonder if any of the immigration orders signed under Biden were done by autopen? That would be even more devastating than pardons.

113 I remember when Hillary testified before Congress regarding to Benghazi and was presented with a document with her signature that approved transferring funds for security to EV stations in Italy or something similar.

She denied any knowledge of the document and defended herself further by saying her signature was via auto pen .

As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors. November 28, 2025 at 12:29 p.m. EST

(They seem to dislike Hegseth as much as they do PDT.)

>BBC, Afghans in US issue plea to Trump after Washington DC shooting, 2 hours ago

In part, "The Afghan Community Coalition of United States expressed its sympathy for families of the victims, calling for a "comprehensive investigation" but urging the US government not to delay or suspend Afghan immigration claims.

"Twenty years of Afghan-US partnership must not be forgotten," the coalition's statement said, nodding to the two-decade effort launched by the US in 2001 to overthrow Afghanistan's Taliban rulers and establish security in the country."

(And, Oh my! how that would affect the community non-profits!)

Posted by: m at November 28, 2025 03:32 PM (RuTUS)

119 112. It might be that Biden's immigration orders are what Trump wants to declare null and void. By declaring all autopen signing null and void the Trump team avoids giving the commies one narrow target.

My non lawyer understanding is that EOs can be reversed by the next POTUS regardless. Biden canceled a lot of good things from the first Trump term with counter EOs.

I'd bet a dollar that that commercial was crafted by the very same pierced bluehaired marketers who hate your guts, as last year's woke commercials were.

It's all emotional manipulation. Cripes, conservatives: stop watching fricking commercials! Or at least stop swooning for them when they tickle you in a soothing way.

124 Ummm...why would Trump need any reason to void an EO? By definition, an EO, which does not carry the force of law, but merely dictates actions of the executive branch, can be voided, reversed, undone, extended, whatever, by the next guy.
