VN Express | 5/20/23 | Tan Phan

Chinese electric car company Zhidou plans to begin selling its mini electric A01 car model at an expected price of VND100 million ($4,260) in Vietnam within the next three months.

You’d think that an author named Tan Phan would like global warming.

Per Scotty T:

🎵

The lot of the memers
At best its quite hard,
We work for good laughs
Get called a r–ard
We scarcely can live,
And not a cent more,
Since we’re paid off in likes
For the IMAO store

Those great blog monopolies
Are growing apace,
Their posts in the millions
By ignoring this place
Unto their high prices
The people pay toll,
While they pay not a cent
For datamining this gold

You load sixteen jokes and what do you get
Maybe one like and a night of regret
Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to IMAO’S company store…

Officers, Prosecutors Find Creative Ways To Get Drug Dealers off Portland Streets
MSN, KGW | 6/23/23 | Mike Benner

Law enforcement in Portland is using a new approach to tackle illegal and dangerous drugs on the city’s streets.

A Portland police officer recently arrested a man in the downtown area for “Practicing Medicine Without a License” after the officer spotted him dealing drugs.

… and I don’t want to hear much out-of-the-box thinking. That’s for getting the homeless off Portland streets.

Not a Joke, Man

Yesterday:

(All my trunalimunumaprzure seemed so far away)

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, South Carolina! (Applause.)

Thank you, Nikki, for that intro- — if you wonder what I’m kicking here, I’m kicking this stand-in. (Laughter.) But it’s not working. How about that? All right, maybe I stand on it and give my — I’ll be 6’4”. (Laughter.)

“Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 6’4″?”

And — look, former mem- — former Mayor Steve Benjamin couldn’t be here today — and you all remember Steve as your mayor — because he’s traveling with his family. And it’s great to have him here —

By the way, if you have seats, sit down. (Laughter.) I’m sorry.

I once said, “Everybody take a seat,” and there were no seats. They said, “Biden is so stupid, he didn’t know there were no seats.” (Laughter.) Anyway.

This is the United States of America, for God’s sake.

And we’re removing every single lead pipe in America.

Vietnam Bans ‘Barbie’ Movie Over South China Sea Map
CNN ^ | 7/3/2023

Vietnam has banned Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated …

????????????????????????????????????????

… film “Barbie” from domestic distribution over a scene featuring a map that shows China’s unilaterally claimed territory in the South China Sea, state media reported on Monday. (Warner Bros, like CNN, is a unit of Warner Bros. Discovery.)

The U-shaped “nine-dash line” is used on Chinese maps to illustrate its claims over vast areas of the South China Sea, including swathes of what Vietnam considers its continental shelf, where it has awarded oil concessions.

“Barbie” is the latest movie to be banned in Vietnam for depicting China’s controversial nine-dash line, which was repudiated in an international arbitration ruling by a court in The Hague in 2016. China refuses to recognize the ruling.

I hope the movie “Barbie” will also recognize my claim to control vast swaths of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, the Rhineland, and Russia.

Oh, and I’ve got a Nine-Dash Line for China: Dictator-Run Communist Moth – – – – – – – – – s.

Kamala Warning: Trying To Understand This Post May Actually Make You Dumber

‘This is cringier than most Biden talks’: Kamala Harris is ruthlessly mocked for latest ‘word salad’ as she gets tongue twisted trying to explain ‘culture’
Daily Mail | 7/07/23 | Alex Hammer

‘Culture is – it is a reflection of our moment and our time. Right?’ the Democrat said, while engaging in several of her trademark pauses.

She continued: ‘And present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment, and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment.

‘That is a reflection of joy. Because, you know,’ she added, before an audible pause

“audible pause”? Et tu, Daily Mail?

and eventually breaking into laughter, ‘it comes in the morning.’

Willie Brown could not be reached for comment.

In another inexplicable comment, she added, ‘We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way, too.’
