I saw on the news on television that we are selling submarines to Australia and to the UK, and also we are going to teach the Australians how to manufacture the subs so that the Aussies can make their own subs.

Salute,

Tony V.

Yes indeed...Chinese warships are already prowling around our coast, for some reason, ...some believe plotting an invasion.
All Australia needs now...nuclear missiles to fire from the subs into Shanghai, Beijing etc the minute China attacks.
China must be told there'll be millions of its people dead and all trade will cease if it attacks.

Oh those guns....

If he were in Tampa or Dallas there would be at least twelve dead because he would have had plenty of time to empty two full magazines from one of the family semiautomatics.

That is why, despite its drawbacks, Queens is a far better place to live than towns and cities where republicans have stolen enough power to enact the terrible ideas that fuck things up for everyone.

How come banks in America can fold, with customers losing money?
The latest one, was that a real bank, or a private investment company?
In bambuworld, if you're a 'bank' you have to have a licence and are regulated by the federal reserve.
You have to lodge reserves with it and also have insurance, as I remember.

What is wrong with these cops that they are beating people to death? Why such rage?

I think a lot of cops are doing steroids, and they are all crazy on steroids. We need to test the cops for steroid use.

All lives matter, and we cannot have cops who are beating people to death.

Salute,

Tony V.

You're not allowed to say "All lives matter", that sports commentator was sacked from his job for doing so.
Time to take America back, again.

Some people, when they get a gun and a badge, get drunk with power/authority, and go crazy in their minds.
Any number of genuine videos on Youtube of cops in America intimidating, bullying, trying to trick motorists at traffic stops.
My cops can stop you, anywhere, anytime and demand to see your driver's licence...no reason needed.
They can tell if the vehicle is registered or not at the push of a button in ther patrol car.
They can ask you to do a drink and drug test roadside.
Refuse and you're automatically found guilty and lose your licence for 2 years or something and get a large fine.
There's no engaging in a 20 minute debate roadside about rights and liberties lol...like in America.
Consider the possibility that getting guns, power, and authority are why a not statistically insignificant number of people become cops in the first place.

They do not lose money. Deposits are insured up to $200,000.

Ask RedDick and the rest of the people who blamed the last near catastrophic collapse of the banking system on poor people wanting houses and better lives and refused to even countenance the possibility of regulating them.

Ask Barney Frank the architect of the 2008 collapse which opened the door for the Fed to bail out banks Frank and Congress green lighted into millions of underwater loans.
Now we defer to the Fed to bail out again turning to morons like Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren.

Your news lies to you because you have proven to it that you are terminally stupid and will never catch on.

I guess Playboy is gone now after Hugh Hefner died, that is sad. They should let me run the company, I could keep Playboy going. Just publish stories that college students are interested in, and publish photos of beautiful women. Hugh Hefner had a good life. And Aaron Spelling used to hire the Playboy Playmates to star in his television shows, Barbi Benton was always on Fantasy Island, etc.

Hugh Hefner was a great guy, he was going to put up the money to make the movie that I wrote, Hef liked my movie script, but we could not get the director that we wanted.

Playboy is a huge American success story, and good people need to rise up and save Playboy Magazine. If they are smart they can bring back the Playboy television station, and they can have resorts around the world, and clubs, etc.

Hef was a great man, it is so sad that people get old and die. It would be great if someone could rise up and save Playboy. I hate to see it all collapse when the company could still easily be successful. They could bring in some young Harvard graduates from National Lampoon to save Playboy, or something, someone needs to save the company.

Salute,

Tony V.

It would be better to leave that bag behind you should you ever go back to film school, Tony.
