Reminiscent of when I was a bashful kid trying to buy some condoms at the drug store... always had to throw in some stupid magazines and toothpaste or other crap you didn't care about hoping the condoms wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb at the checkout counter!

I’m sure the cowardly sort are too embarrassed to buy them. Someone might figure out what they’re thinking!

The attempt has been thwarted and came with yet another black eye for Donnie Dumpkins.

Germany's Merkel decided she wasn't flying in due to the pandemic. I thought I read it was cancelled.

So, yup, the G7 isn't going so well.

It saves us from being embarrassed even further on the international stage by the
White House dufus and his band of sycophants.

Too bad for Putin. People are saying that tremendous check won't be sent to Donald's off-shore account after all. Sad.
