The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump's nominee for ambassador to Malaysia. Malaysia says 'hell no'!

scmp.com - Malaysia lashes out trumps pick zionist envoy nick adams not welcome here

This is the right's idea of an alpha male? LOL

But he does have one qualification in Trump's eyes: Adams expresses strong support for Donald Trump, stating that Trump is the "highest IQ President" and that loving America means loving Trump.

A few quotes from this dandy of an alpha male:

“My humility is what sets me apart,” Adams once wrote alongside a photograph of himself. A pull quote was positioned next to his black-and-white visage: “Yes, I may be devilishly good looking, but I’m still humble about it.”

Over an image of Gorilla Glue, Adams once tweeted: “New lip gloss for women just dropped. Guaranteed to please the man in your life!”

“It’s called a dishwasHER not a dishwasHIM,” he wrote in another instant classic of the genre.

Adams once asserted that federally protected lands should be razed and turned into golf courses to support his hobby, which he inexplicably and relentlessly refers to as “having a foursome with the boys.”

Once in these stories, Adams walked out on a date because she dared to confront him about being late for their reservation, allowing “someone’s future wife [to learn] a valuable life lesson” in the process. Another time, he bravely rejected recycled printer paper from a supplier. In yet another, he made a principled stand against a hotel that gave guests the option of reusing their towels.

Speaking of Trump: “the most honest political leader America has had since Abraham Lincoln”

I go to Hooters.
I eat rare steaks.
I lift extremely heavy weights.
I read the Bible every night.
I am pursued by copious amounts of women.
I am wildly successful.
I have the physique of a Greek God.
I have an IQ over 180.
I am extremely charismatic.

They hate this.


What an ass! But he sucked up to Trump and that is all that is necessary.

Will the Republicans approve this nomination? Malaysia says 'please don't'.

He's probably a closeted gay. If this is modern America's idea of an 'alpha male'...good God.
