US Vice President Vance in India for talks amid tariffs, deportations DW News



India and other Asian countries might have some things to discuss about tariffs. It would be a real shame if the food and water wrecked his stomach.

3. With his Brahmin bride, of course--somehow desperate to transfer that highest of all social classes (castes) to this

utter clueless, classless, bumbling imbecile pining for power at any cost. The mumblings and laughter behind his back are those recognizing him as the Dalit (untouchable) that he was born to. Just saying...

Something similar to p2025? I'd skimmed a post about her bs but was so repulsed I guess I didn't retain it.

7. Oh, gawd yes. She was raised in a cult in Hawaii with links to India...

If you read about that cult leader and his brandishing influence on local politics which likely got Gabbard her start, you will be unnerved. Heaven only knows what she specifically (and REALLY) believes. She has no business anywhere near National Security. I know the info was out there, but I guess Congress was too cowed to really delve into it, thinking her Russian influences ought to be enough. Guess what...? It wasn't.

TY for sharing.

No, ruskie ties seem to be a requirement in kraznov's admin.

Won't she look "special" in her kraznov crush orange prison jumpsuit?

You realize, I'm sure bondi, gabbard, and the puppy murderer were apponted to hold the bag and go to prison when the shit finally hits the fan?

Counting the days...

He might avoid their fate, but by then he will be dead and the poster child for "Weekend at Bernie's" or a vegetable that gets watered now and then.

9. Some years ago, I worked for a corporate attorney who traveled to India on business
Mon Apr 21, 2025, 01:08 PM
Apr 2025

I can't recall where his accomodations were, but I'm sure being a high level corporate attorney, they were in a very posh, highly-rated place.

Upon his return, he took very very ill, was hospitalized, and it was eventually determined that he had placed his toothbrush in the toothbrush holder and a cockroach laid eggs on it, one (or some) of which took up residence in his liver.

I can't recall all the details. He did eventually return to work, presumably recovered, but I can only wish the same for beardo and his wife.

not pleasant. Boric acid got rid of them. It's good to keep a tooth brush and food and similar things covered.

Apparently, the attorney didn't know better as he was likely never in such a situation.
