Who gets the Flakka? And by “fight” do you mean “shag”?

If they are on flakka they might fuck you, so watch your six.

Not yet.. Cheaper flight makes me stay overnight tonight in Portland.. There now.. Leave 9:30 am tomorrow for Honolulu.. The hotel cost is MUCH less than the cost of a non stop flight booked on such short notice.

T minus 2 hours to liftoff. Let us know you got there safe.

Kangaroos have problems crossing roads without getting hit by cars. None of those dumb bastards are making it to Wales anytime soon.

This attitude just makes me nervous. I thought we all learned one should never, under any circumstances, underestimate kangaroos?

the internet is over rated and you know some peoplelive thier whole life on the internet and don't go outside
real life encounters are the way to live life meeting strangers talking to people
today is going to suck but I'll make the best of it
shocked I don't have covid or monkeypox or aids after the past week

Fred, despite serious reservations, I'm going to ask this anyway. WHY is today going to suck? Or maybe I should change the emphasis. Why is TODAY going to suck?

I'm constantly amazed that we don't get a daily newsletter or something of the crazy ways Australians must get killed by the local flora and fauna.

I have a good friend who goes to UH and lives with a bunch of other smokeshow broads if you want me to put you in touch.

Sure..rockfordeast@yahoo.com..... But.. I am certain I am old enough to be their father.. So I doubt if they are interested.. I am a long time member of a few hiking groups based on Oahu.. And.. Some friends of mine that live there paraglide.and do other fun stuff.. And I am buddies with the owner of Paradise Air at Dillingham.. I always have things to do when. I visit there.. I am not much of a drinker/ rec drug user/ partier

[Timberridge]

They should have.

Short story short.

I'm in AUS and my BIL who lived there at the time has a friend with an emu and kangaroo farm so we stop by for a visit. They ask if I'd like to feed them. They are in the same enclosure. I was given a bucket of corn and sent into the enclosure. Let's just say I'd rather walk thru Penn Station in NYC with $20's stapled to my clothes.

CNN Exclusive: Biden administration offers convicted Russian arms dealer in exchange for Griner, Whelan

By Kylie Atwood, Evan Perez and Jennifer Hansler, CNN

Washington (CNN)After months of internal debate, the Biden administration has offered to exchange Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker serving a 25-year US prison sentence, as part of a potential deal to secure the release of two Americans held by Russia, Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan, according to people briefed on the matter.

These sources told CNN that the plan to trade Bout for Whelan and Griner received the backing of President Joe Biden after being under discussion since earlier this year. Biden's support for the swap overrides opposition from the Department of Justice, which is generally against prisoner trades.
"We communicated a substantial offer that we believe could be successful based on a history of conversations with the Russians," a senior administration official told CNN Wednesday. "We communicated that a number of weeks ago, in June."
The official declined to comment on the specifics of the "substantial offer." They said it was in Russia's "court to be responsive to it, yet at the same time that does not leave us passive, as we continue to communicate the offer at very senior levels."
"It takes two to tango. We start all negotiations to bring home Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained with a bad actor on the other side. We start all of these with somebody who has taken a human being American and treated them as a bargaining chip," the official said. "So in some ways, it's not surprising, even if it's disheartening, when those same actors don't necessarily respond directly to our offers, don't engage constructively in negotiations."
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Wednesday that the US presented a "substantial proposal" to Moscow "weeks ago" for Whelan and Griner, who are classified as wrongfully detained. The top US diplomat said he intended to discuss the matter on an expected call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov this week.
The families of Whelan, who has been held by Russia for alleged espionage since 2018, and WNBA star Griner, jailed in Moscow for drug possession since February, have urged the White House to secure their release, including via a prisoner exchange if necessary.
Griner, who pleaded guilty in early July but said she unintentionally brought cannabis into Russia, testified in a Russian courtroom Wednesday as part of her ongoing trial on drug charges, for which she faces up to 10 years in prison. It is understood that her trial will have to conclude prior to a deal being finalized, according to US officials familiar with the Russian judicial process and the inner workings of US-Russia negotiations.
During months of internal discussions between US agencies, the Justice Department opposed trading Bout, people briefed on the matter say. However, Justice officials eventually accepted that a Bout trade has the support of top officials at the State Department and White House, including Biden himself, sources say.

Former Soviet military officer and arms trafficking suspect Viktor Bout arrives at Westchester County Airport in 2010.





The US government has long resisted prisoner swaps, claiming concerns that they only incentivize countries to detain Americans so they can be used as bargaining chips. Advocates have questioned these concerns and have argued that it is more important that Americans are able to come home.
Among senior Biden administration officials, the idea of prisoner swaps gained new momentum earlier this year after the successful release of Trevor Reed, a former Marine who was held captive in Russia for more than two years. Reed was traded for Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot then serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for cocaine smuggling conspiracy.
Biden officials had been concerned the decision to swap Reed for Yaroshenko would be criticized by Republicans. Instead, it won bipartisan praise, including from a handful of Republicans who are normally sharp critics of the administration. That reception, sources say, led the administration to reexamine all options -- including potential swaps -- to get Whelan and Griner out of Russia.
"Whatever the kind of moral indignity of them holding innocent people and trying to extract from us someone like a Mr. Yaroshenko, who is the opposite of that, we nonetheless are so committed to bring our people home that we will make those painful choices in certain circumstances," the senior administration official told CNN.
Securing their release would also give the White House a much-needed political win ahead of the midterm elections in November, a point that some officials quietly acknowledged when speaking privately to CNN. There is also a sense of urgency to bring the two detainees home as the White House faces growing public scrutiny from the families of Americans unlawfully detained abroad.
Biden recently spoke by phone with Griner's wife, Cherelle, and Whelan's sister, Elizabeth.

I hope they are able to get her home, and any other Americans being held by Russia, but shouldn't the takeaway from all this be "don't bring your drugs to other countries"?

I'm pretty sure that's like the the fourth instruction when you apply for a passport.
