Every Fucking Time - Iran Ed.

[Montegriffo]

No, really, I get it. You like having a racist president.

[Montegriffo]

When you accept that history started in 2017 it makes sense that war is unavoidable.

:goteam: :drunk:

I blame Mesopotamia.
Mesopotamia and Trump.

:goteam: :toke:

No, really, I get it. You like having a racist president.

I wish Trump were actually racist. An openly racist president would be an effective counter to the openly racist democratic party. As it stands, you are completely ass backwards. The most racist motherfuckers in politics are all democrats.

If Trump is a racist, he fucked even racism up by facilitating open borders and mass migration of incompatible people. What kind of racist wants more immigration from the nonwhite world?

Not that racism matters. You didn't give a shit when Obama was president, and that guy was racist as fuck.

[Speaker to Animals]

You can't even make this shit up. British state propaganda outlet says Iran is choosing a "dangerous path" in oil tanker seizures. Hmm.. was it a dangerous path when the UK did it or only when Iran does it?

[Montegriffo]

Right-wing press is reporting the same thing.

A new propaganda video captures the moment Iranian Revolutionary Guard commandos drop from a helicopter (pictured top right) to hijack a British tanker (bottom right). Footage shows troops wearing ski masks (left) and carrying machine guns rappelling to the deck of the British-flagged tanker Stena Impero from their aircraft last night. It comes as Jeremy Hunt expressed his 'extreme disappointment' in the regime. The UK foreign secretary said further measures on what action will be taken over Iran’s seizure of the British-flagged tanker in the Gulf will be announced in Parliament on Monday. Iran's seizure of the British ships was a deliberate act of provocation because the ships were in international waters. The action prompted a late night meeting of the COBRA emergency security committee chaired by Prime Minister Theresa May.

The Downing Street cat has seen it all before though and is not giving a fuck.

The Downing Street cat has seen it all before though and is not giving a fuck.

Cats are smart enough to know... Left, right, it's all the same, they all lie. As long as he's got a comfy doorstep to watch from and just glance curiously at the ridiculousness of it all he's just fine.

[Montegriffo]

I hope Boris is nice to cats.
Larry the cat is the real boss.


Doesn't even lower himself to knocking on the door if plod is about.

[Ph64]

Here's the thing... Cats are liberal. They support sunny skies always, love nature, and are certainly in support of "free stuff" like food and toys.

They're also far right Nazis, they would *love* to run a concentration camp for those damn mice and rats, and have no problems whatsoever exterminating them down to the last.

Thus they understand the silliness of human political tribalism. Instinct is what really rules, no matter what anyone virtue signals.

Larry is the 10 Downing Street cat and is Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. He is a brown and white tabby, believed to have been born in January 2007. By July 2016, when Theresa May became Prime Minister, he had developed a reputation of being "violent" in his interactions with other local mousers, especially the Foreign Office's much younger cat Palmerston.

The Downing Street website describes Larry's duties as "greeting guests to the house, inspecting security defences, and testing antique furniture for napping quality". It says he is "contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house" and has told Downing Street that such a solution is still in the "tactical planning stage".[2]

Unlike his predecessors since 1929, Larry's upkeep is funded by the staff of 10 Downing Street.[3] Fund-raising events to pay for his food are believed to have included a quiz night for Downing Street staff held in the state rooms.

Larry is a rescued stray cat from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home who was chosen by Downing Street staff.[5] Larry was intended to be a pet for the children of David and Samantha Cameron, and was described by Downing Street sources as a "good ratter" and as having "a high chase-drive and hunting instinct".[6] In 2012, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home revealed that Larry's popularity had resulted in a surge of 15% more people adopting cats.

Soon after he was taken in at Downing Street, a story ran in the press claiming that Larry was a lost cat and that the original owner had started a campaign to retrieve him.[7] However, the story was later revealed to be a hoax, and no such owner nor campaign existed.[

Within a month of his arrival at Downing Street, anonymous sources described Larry as having "a distinct lack of killer instinct."[9] He made his first known kill – a mouse – on 22 April 2011.[10] Later that year, it was revealed that he spends more time sleeping than hunting for mice, and shares the company of a female cat, Maisie.[11] At one point in 2011, mice were so endemic in Downing Street that the Prime Minister resorted to throwing a fork at one during a Cabinet dinner.[11] On 28 August 2012, Larry made his first public killing, dropping his prey on the lawn in front of Number 10.[12]

Larry was almost fired from his position in 2012 when he failed to react to a mouse spotted in David Cameron's study.[13] His lack of killer instinct also earned him the nickname "Lazy Larry" by the tabloid press.[13]

In October 2013, Larry caught four mice in two weeks and one staff member rescued a mouse from his clutches.[14]

In July 2015, George Osborne and Cabinet Office Minister Matt Hancock cornered a mouse in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's office, trapping it in a brown paper sandwich bag. The press joked that the Chancellor of the Exchequer might take over the Chief Mouser position.[15]

David Cameron explained during his final Prime Minister's Questions in 2016 that Larry is a civil servant and not personal property, so would not leave Downing Street after a change of premier.[16] The Labour Party has confirmed that in the event of a Labour government, Larry would remain as Chief Mouser.[17]

David Cameron has said that Larry is a "bit nervous" around men, speculating that, since Larry was a rescue cat, this may be due to negative experiences in his past. Cameron mentioned that Barack Obama is an apparent exception to this fear: he said, "Funnily enough he liked Obama. Obama gave him a stroke and he was all right with Obama."

In April 2016, a new feline neighbour, Palmerston, moved into the Foreign Office.[29] Although known for getting along from time to time, the two cats have fought on numerous occasions.[22][30] The Leader of the House commented that he hoped that Palmerston and Larry would establish a "modus vivendi".[31] In July of that year, Palmerston entered Number 10 and had to be forcibly evicted by security staff.[32] In September 2016, Lord Blencathra submitted a question in the House of Lords of why the government did not pay for Larry's veterinary bill for an injury picked up in a fight against Palmerston, and whether the government would refund civil servants who paid for Larry's care.[33] Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen, the government’s spokesman in the Lords, said: "The costs were met by staff through voluntary staff donations due to their affection for Larry."

Makes me proud to be British.

British press is hilarious.
