I for one salute our new shark overloads and want them to know how useful I can be in bringing human resistance to their rule to submission.; 3/26/21, 2:08 PM

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: This -- "Ron Johnson, Senator from Wisconsin, by way of Moscow" -- is as batshit crazy and as much conspiratorial derangement as anything from QAnon, and far more damaging since it's mainstream, but because it's on a corporate outlet, it doesn't count:

Everything is racist AND if you disagree with the left's lies - you're a Russian.; 3/26/21, 2:37 PM

On the way to Hillary's secret lair.

I thought it was The Donald's pet. Who else would be dumb enough to install a window in a tank for the benefit of a mindless shark?; 3/26/21, 2:40 PM

Static Ping said...: As far as cool animals on trucks, this is pretty much the pinnacle. It beats watching poultry humping each other.

Related, I understand that Great White Sharks cannot be put in aquariums. They die no matter what you do. No one is sure why.; 3/26/21, 3:01 PM

So BFTPFCP doesn't know that both Joy Reid and Glenn Greenwald are leftists but QAnon is not? That makes it impossible to agree with anything here including Ron Johnson's baseless conspiracies which originated from Russian sources attempting to get Trump elected.

BTW, this information about Russian involvement was contained in a document generated by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence under Trump as required by Donald's executive order but which was just published for all to see.; 3/26/21, 3:10 PM

Very good.

Now, list just the first two or three, I assume, most influential, actions Russia undertook in their endeavors to elect President Trump.

Then prove those actions were to elect a candidate, and not sow mischief, and cause citizens to doubt the integrity of election.

You can also explain how that differs from dozens of other nations.

I also note that not a single person attached to President Trump, his campaign, or transition team was ever claimed to be involved. In fact no United States Citizen was ever accused.; 3/26/21, 3:43 PM

Lucid-Ideas said...: @Andrew

"Sharks have to constantly move through the water to take on oxygen."

Actually, that's not exactly true. Sharks are actually negatively buoyant, they're one of the few fishes that are. Most sharks must keep moving because if they stop moving they sink, which in most of the pelagic environments they inhabit would cause them to go all the way to the bottom (aka "crush" depth). If you've ever been to a big aquarium with sharks where depth is not a problem you will see sharks on the bottom motionless and forcing water manually through their gills all the time.

Sharks don't need to keep moving to breath, they need to keep moving so they don't sink.; 3/26/21, 4:12 PM

Quaestor said...: OK, where's the damned fish? All I saw was a container on a trailer towed by a truck. Could have anything in it, chocolate sauce, for example. Or nothing. Besides, the tank is too small to keep a sizeable shark alive.

Gawd, I HATE TikTok. The tokoids choose the most obnoxious "music" imaginable to accompany their feeble offerings, and there's no obvious way to mute the damned vids until they're already spewing their mind-rot at 160 decibels.; 3/26/21, 7:26 PM
Wince said...: Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tires
And everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight
