Johnson, whose three-year term as the prime minister of the United Kingdom overlapped for two years with Trump's first term as president, discussed this at the Forum. He said that Trump was "pretty tough," on Vladimir Putin when he was in the Oval Office.

But he said that the Republican party has "homoerotic fascination with Putin, which I personally don't share."

He continued: "Some of these people think he's an all-around stand-up guy and they love his manly Christianity."

"It's complete nonsense. He's a tyrant and a kleptocrat and a murderer and a very, very dangerous and bad man."

I'm honestly more alarmed at the thought of "manly Christianity" than "tyrant" or "murderer" in this context.

Several masked men showed up waving Nazi flags and reportedly shouted antisemitic and racist slurs outside the American Legion Post 141 in Howell on Saturday during the play, according to CNN affiliate WXYZ.

They're still pant-pissing cowards, of course. I'll be more worried when they start taking their masks off.

They've always sucked at making games. They weren't always successful, though. Skyrim is the goose that laid the golden egg, and they'll be hard-pressed to repeat that success.

Why are you here? Shouldn't you be ignoring everything outside your idea of "reality" (the Almighty and All-knowing God of yours that you call Fox News)?

The classic square peg in a round hole problem.

At press time, a contingent of church goers was forming outside the Vatican to protest the new flavor, claiming that, if anything, Jesus was lemon-lime.

Almost had me thinking this was something real.

Shouldn't that magat be wearing a heavily-stained tank top?

In the next panel, the guy fires back: "Get back to the kitchen, cuz! Or me and the boys are gonna round up the dogs and take you huntin!"

Couch-fucker knows all about "backwoods" values.

It's a lot worse than that, actually. Even if they're just bluffing on tariffs, there's very little doubt that Trump will crack down on illegal immigrants, which will cause a substantial price increase across the board in agriculture and construction, which in turn will affect every other company in this country. The resulting hyperinflation will make the previous inflation look like a mild warmup in comparison.

Good thing they have plenty of 1s.

Of course, it could all be another elaborate pump-and-dump scheme by Elon. It wouldn't put it past him.

As useful as he finds the bigots to be, I just can't see him enforcing a nationalized reverence for anyone but himself.

I just have to say, after having booted into Windows, that Linux is so much nicer than Windows when it comes to doing system "updates."

So, here I am, sitting in my chair for about 20 minutes looking at a mostly black screen and a highly dubious looking percentage number going up very slowly. It tells me that Windows is "updating" and that I should keep the computer turned on. Good thing I have the computer turned on or I wouldn't know that I shouldn't have it turned off, right?

Anyway, I start to think about how this experience goes in Linux. In my experience, I do "system" updates about once a month, and I can see each individual package being installed (if I glance away from my browser session, that is). In Windows, I have no choice but to sit here and wonder if the system will even work again.

Windows decides that it wants to update drivers, apparently (I honestly have no idea what it's doing, which is part of what pisses me off), because it reboots the computer. Then it reboots again. Then, eventually, everything goes back to the familiar Windows desktop. WTF?

How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.
