Burn them all?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Didn't the fire started on communist Bolivia after some guys tried to clear a a part of the rainforest with fire and got out of hand? Not much twitter or news here, more pressing matters you see.

There's not really one fire at this point; it's several fires burning all at once. Some are in Bolivia, yes.

More like on the order of 2000 individual fire areas, at least that's what I've read, I think. May be thinking of a different thing associated, dunno.

Also, some of them started in Brazil but spread to other countries, that may be the Bolivia one.

Sorry for the lack of source links, but I am giddy today. What I am not sorry for, however, is the fact that I will keep to my pledge to not say the current president's name until the end of his term.

First because of the utterly moronic speech the Bozo gave on the UN, showing the world he is worthy of no respect.

Second... because apparently he spent AN ENTIRE HOUR standing in place in one of the UN's corridors so he could meet Trump. And Trump just... gives him an incredibly quick handshake and leaves in the span of a mere 17 seconds while the Fascist Himself gushes. I actually laughed loud enough at this to startle people.

And of course, Biroliro's cattle are still trying to justify all of this trash so... have this incredibly relevant song from '79 (subtitled!)

I thought he couldn't attend because he had some surgery and docs said that he shouldn't travel that soon?

On one hand, the standing in the corridor for an hour and only meeting Trump for seconds either says that he has a fan cult of Trump that Trump would prefer the world to have and on the other, it seems like a hell of a burn (intentionally or not) by trump. And I guess on another, if he intended to get Trumps attention for more than all of 17 seconds, it just reveals how bad he is at diplomacy or something.

I guess we now know what sort of pocket monster he is.

He is a Zubat.

God, I thought the Brazilian press was going to be able to turn this in some kind of win for Pocket.

It was not possible. The sheer amount of embarrassment for being Brazilian is overwhelming. And I was around for 7-1.

The fact that he looks like a giddy schoolgirl catching a glimpse of her fav rockstar (let me know if that's an overexaggeration or accurate) doing it certainly doesn't help either.

At least the UN didn't laugh at Trumps speech as happened last time, THAT was embarrassing.

"giddy schoolgirl" and "favorite rockstar" haven't gone together since probably the 1980s

I'll admit that it's extremely stereotypical, and I sort of generically used rockstar as in 'teen idol', but that's sort of the appearance it gives, if exaggerated somewhat.

Remember; Kanye West is the greatest living rockstar in the world.

Maybe he can pull a Trump and grab the spotlight away from our shameful conduct.
Go for it America.
