Italy is in Europe.  Sorry to mess up your bubble universe.

True, but 'Southern Italian' folk can look different from 'Northern Italian' folk.

Dinkins?

Sinkin' Dinkins.

He was so bad, he paved the way for the fascist Giuliani, whose biggest accomplishments were cracking the heads of squeegee guys at the Lincoln Tunnel and showing up for photo ops after the 9/11 debacle he helped create.

Dinkins wasn't ineffective because he was black. He was ineffective because he couldn't unite the disparate neighborhoods that make the city what it is.

The current mayor is Sinkin' Dinkins v2.0.

You should learn the phrase, "quit while you're behind".

And stay the fuck out of Melbourne. The Greeks and Italians who live there don't want you.

Smart women.

Pardon me. And her, too. Please.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/trump-reportedly-asking-pardons-himself-194038001.html


Donald J. Trump, who has now successfully carried his penchant for failure as a former steak salesman into his role as POTUS, has allegedly been making inquiries about the ins and outs of pardons for several years now.

According to a new report from CNN including commentary from a number of sources described as "current and former" administration officials, Trump's had matters of pardon on the brain since at least 2017. Since then, former aides explained, Trump has "been asking" whether he would be able to pardon himself.

Australia is ranked 43rd in the world for internet. :-)
That's part of the "backward" title.
CIA base at Pine Gap in the Outback probably has its own better system. :-)

Given that Australia is on the bottom half of the globe and the logistic difficulties in having to put poles and stuff in upside down, plus WFi signals falling down into the ether of space, 43rd is pretty good. If I understand the science correctly.

LOL
It's appalling, that's what it is.

20 Australian inventions that changed the world:

Invented in Buffalo,  NY,  by an American college researcher.   Several others on the list are incorrect,  or give full credit for a partial contribution.   Wi-Fi, for example,  was partly developed by AT&T, partly by CSIRO,  so one nation can't claim full credit.   

I've seen this misinformed list around the web before.   Please factcheck.

I started down that rabbit hole and decided it wasn't worth it.

Adelson's Las Vegas Review-Journal says it is time for Trump to accept reality and let the transition get going.

It's going.

Can you try not lying for a single day?

Nothing is different.  Biden is making plans, as all incoming leaders do.  Is not being blocked at all.

So, the answer is no, you can't.

If you were right, then there would not be a push for Biden to have the access that Presidents-elect have had for decades to security briefings.

If you were right, then space and money designated for transition would have been released.

If you were right, then there would have been no memo sent out warning Executive Branch folks to not cooperated with the Biden team.

But since you are an incorrigible liar, "not being blocked at all" is the bullshit you spew.

Quick! Hide the mess! No one can find out how badly team trump sucks!

[josh]

Nope, not blocked at all. We know because Kid says so.

President-elect Joe Biden's transition team is using back-channels with governors, the private sector and the medical community to prepare its Covid-19 response, as the Trump administration continues to block Biden's access to federal agencies, sources close to the transition tell CNN.

Less than 10 weeks before Biden will take office, his team is locked out of crucial Covid-19 pandemic data and government agency contacts, which threatens to hamper the federal response amid surging coronavirus cases and the expected mass distribution of a vaccine. The formal transition has not begun because the General Services Administration, led by a Trump appointee, has not granted ascertainment of the election result.

That's how it is...people described by race if the cops, aged care facilities etc need to find them.

Greeks and Italians in Melbourne...LOL
Who, the ones waving THEIR flags, against the Socceroos?
