Trump or brexit .... tough call.

Trump: I wrote answers to Mueller's questions | CNN


He wrote his own answers, not his lawyers. Oh, this oughtta be fun!

What the? Even a lawyer would have another lawyer write the answers to questions in that situation.

A friend (not Finnish) was telling me about that this weekend. Having no context I was a bit lost what the reference was to at first. I guess it became a meme in Finland this weekend to pose raking the forest.

Finns are polite to a fault so going to that extent to mock a head of state is really saying something.

 

[Kara Spengler]

To put that in context Finns tend to like it when foreigners know ANYTHING about the country, even if it is wrong. To turn around and mock the statement is a pretty big deal!

Has he ever been in a grocery store in his entire life?

Probably not. Then again politicians are usually out of touch on groceries for some reason. Remember pappy Bush not knowing how much a gallon of milk cost and being amazed by a checkout register?

Because of Trump, those of us who don't speak the language have all learned a new word in Finnish (to go with kalsarikänni, which is what you need to do to recover after all the harvointi).

ty, looking at #rakenews, did not realize there was another tag

We neglected our duty this weekend. There is an annual Finnish bazaar and it is in a wooded area .... nobody made the suggestion to go rake the area.

The raking is no big deal. It's putting the snow back in place afterwards that takes real sisu and you certainly deserve some kalsarikänni afterwards.

Accompanied by people shouting perkele while putting the snow back. Especially if it means they have to ask someone to get out of the way to do so.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, delivered Trump’s new “decorum” rules for the media from on high on Monday.

Moving forward, reporters can only ask “a single question” during press briefings.

If the president or the administration official decides “a follow-up question or questions may be permitted,” then the public official might grace the media with further comments. However, the reporter “will then yield the floor” and not ask any additional questions. Having the audacity to ask a second question without permission “may result in suspension or revocation” of media credentials.

Like most rich New Yorkers, he probably orders out for everything, and some staff drone brings it upstairs.

Back when I was active in my medieval re-enactment group, and we camped in the woods, we always raked the area first. This was to avoid rocks, stump holes, fire ants, etc. Also to prevent camp fires from spreading to the tents. Then, when we left, we put the leaves or pine needles *back*. Since what we did was so weird to most people, we didn't want to give the site owners a reason to ban us from returning. Good campsites are hard to find.

Yeah, I remember. I also remember Obama being surprised at the price of arugula; he was blamed for being out of touch because he did know the price increases of an elitist vegetable.
