You're definitely paying the Hartford Horsey premium.

Late 80's, somewhere in Northeast Asia. Gals were putting on a show - took an egg in, cracked it, and dumped the perfect yolk into a shot glass without any egg shells. Gal poured some whiskey in it and pass it over to the table for us to enjoy. I remember several of us young fellas passing the glass around.

Through some great negotiating on the part of Donald Trump, we've struck a deal to trade all of our country's Communists for Hong Kong's democratic protesters. After the deal was made, the military began rounding up the Communists---who didn't complain, as they're all for an authoritarian state---and putting them in cargo planes. They were then flown across the Pacific Ocean and dropped off in Hong Kong before the democratic protesters in China were loaded up into the now-empty planes and flown back to America. "This is the best deal, maybe ever," said Trump. "We'll get rid of some wackos on the left, my buddy Xi will be happy with his new commie followers, and we'll gain some great new citizens who will be really appreciative to me and never complain about anything. Greatest deal in the history of deals." The president started to rethink his decision when the democratic protesters began to criticize his anti-Second Amendment views, and he quickly tried to put them under a "Red Flag" provision.

Having said all of this - I think this is bigger than tiananmen square? I dunno.

China in all of its manifestations has been autocratically ruled for thousands of years.

oh, many did and got out of dodge right after the handover. many settled down in Vancouver (BC). It's been called Hongcouver for a while now. for a while, Vancouver had the best southern Chinese food. Wonder if that's still the case.

i damn near spit out my coffee after seeing this one

HK = Hong Kek

*shrugs* From HuffPo POLITICS 08/09/2019 12:56 am ET Updated 3 days ago Bernie Sanders Says He’ll Reveal The Truth About Aliens If Elected President The Democratic 2020 candidate told Joe Rogan that, if elected, he’ll reveal if UFOs exist — but only because his wife told him to. By Josie Harvey Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has pledged to reveal the truth about aliens if he’s elected in 2020. Podcast host Joe Rogan asked the senator from Vermont in the final moments of an hourlong interview if he would tell the public about aliens and UFOs were he to find something out while in office. “Well, I’ll tell you, my wife would demand that I let you know,” Sanders replied with a laugh, adding that she had pressed him in his role as senator for any information on aliens. (He said he doesn’t have access to those records.) Sanders went on to say that if he did become president and found out anything about aliens ― he’d announce it on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Though this is a common question for Rogan to ask his guests, it comes after a recent uptick in conversations about UFOs following a rise in reports of unidentified aircraft by military pilots earlier this year. When asked about the increase in reports during an interview with ABC News in June, President Donald Trump provided little clarity on the origin of the reports. “I think it’s probably ― I want them to think whatever they think. They do say, and I’ve seen, and I’ve read, and I’ve heard. And I did have one very brief meeting on it. But people are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particular,” he said. “We’re watching, and you’ll be the first to know.” To the disappointment of UFO watchers, Trump’s predecessor was equally vague when pried for information on extraterrestrials. When asked whether he’d “demanded to see all the classified files about Area 51 and UFOs” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2015, President Barack Obama deflected with jokes. “The aliens won’t let it happen. You’d reveal all their secrets, and they exercise strict control over us,” Obama said. “I can’t reveal anything.” Kimmel had also asked Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton the same thing ― to no avail. Given Sanders’ pledge, UFO watchers should be interested to see what he can reveal should he succeed in making his way to the Oval Office.
