New York has a big Jewish population.

Reminds me of a science fiction story. A regular type guy happens to look like a big star. The star sues the regular guy for copywrite infringement

Brief moment in history…

I remember reading this tip in a magazine. Instead of having a professional photographer at a wedding, put a disposable camera at every table.

A lot of difference between shooting protestors and a nuclear war.

Look at Trump’s big military parade. The Army has crack drill teams, expert parachute units, ace helicopter pilots, and dozens of other impressive troops to put on display. No way is the military going to go to war because Donnie is having a tantrum.

This is where caring counts. We’ve all seen videos where ‘dad reflexes’ kick in and someone reacts in micro-seconds to save a kid. Medical staff was getting paid to show up and be on stand-by. They were expecting a broken leg, or other trauma.

I’ve never been to a billionaire polo match [sad trumpet] but I’d assume that there be some medical staff, like you’d find at any major sporting event where injury is likely. On the other hand, I could see how the staff was prepared for a broken neck and not considering bee stings. Either way, it’s pretty funny.

You know that Trump just told the generals to have ‘a parade.’

Kim or Putin would know exactly which tanks and units he wanted, would have specified how many flyovers, and sweated all the details.

People are downvoting you, I assume because they think you are lauding some other east Asian billionaire.

iirc Epi-pen is the usual treatment, and those things are pretty easy to obtain.

I think that OP philpo is on to something, that the medical staff was a bit slow to deal with the situation.

I read a detective novel years ago. One character said that even when people are lying, they always reveal a lot when they are boasting.

Trump said it himself, he hasn’t matured at all since he was in first grade.

Long before he was TACO, Cadet Bonespur’s nickname was ‘Two Scoops.’ That was because at a dinner he made sure that everyone at the table got one scoop of ice cream, but he got two.

You see, there’s a race of beings so intelligent, long lived, and generally amazing that we mere humans can only think of them as ‘gods.’

But even thy can succumb to the lure of using a Chatbot AI instead of doing their own work.

I like what a New York City politician said.

“If you agree with me 51% of the time, you should vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, seek a psychiatrist.”

If nothing else, a job at that level usually requires a strong academic background. You want to be the Ph. D who has to explain that Columbia isn’t in Asia?

McCarthy was a major part of the Red Scare of the 1950s.

It was Charles Laughton speaking to John Carradine

For something a tad more modern, I can’t praise “Black Sails” enough. All the sex and violence fo GOT with a much faster pace.

edit =forgot the link. shiver me timbers.

I remember an old black and white movie where one pirate saves another’s life.

I can’t recall the exact line, but it was something like “I had to save you; you’re the only other person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”
