He likes to pretend that his incoherent "stream of consciousness" ramblings were a clever and deliberate "weave".
His weavings now resemble the attempts of a spider to create a web whilst under the influence of narcotics.

The man who conceitedly & arrogantly compares himself to God decides to lock horns with the man chosen to be God's representative on Earth. One has millions of supporters, the other has billions. One is clearly a sociopath, a proven liar, sex offender & rapist. The other is none of these things.

You'll NEVER see Trump or FLOTUS doing this.

They probably don't know the words to the song.

If (for whatever reason) someone (person A) staged his own failed assassination attempt, and an innocent bystander was actually killed (by person B) - whether accidentally or deliberately - then precisely what crime would person A be guilty of, under the current laws in the USA ?

Just asking...

"Why the long face?"

"Mayday, mayday, Mav's in trouble. He's in a flat spin, he's heading out to sea."

"Let's go fly a kite" 🎵

"I'm telling you, Steve; if he captions this with any mention of "a nice pair of tits" - well, there are plenty of other bird-feeders we can go to instead of this one!"

"I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good."

Do woodpeckers regurgitate/vomit pellets? Because that's exactly what this one looked like it was trying to do (but I've Googled it without finding any references to this behaviour)

So I guess I'm not allowed to post this one?

"Now; where did I put my keys?"

(I've never seen a GSW doing this before - or since - and still don't really know exactly what it was doing)

Those humans who are best equipped to receive messages from cats will naturally become their favourite servants

Whale sh1t is vital to marine ecosystems. Trump is of no use whatsoever to mankind in particular nor planet Earth in general.

So, for all we know, cats actually CAN text - they just choose not to.
