Excuse me while I go hide my head in shame.

Redstone

[Supersedeas]

15. your shame ought to be more prevalent amongst the 29%ers

[NNadir]

3. I feel bad for the tree. It is almost certain to die.

Somehow I'm sure, as is the case with every fucking thing junior has touched in his pathetic disasterous life, he's fucked the tree up.

[sweetheart]

10. We could be thankful to be alive

Some really died from the bastard.

For all the bugbears, our free speech is still mostly intact, and then the
benign patriarch has just been winding up for the final cleansing... and i'm
thinking he's just gonna go off quitely in to the night...

when at the bush ranch, the've got out the guns for a witch hunt.

[DesEtoiles]

4. And then he cleared all the "bush" - PM's prize rose bushes

5. I got some dirt on my shoes!

You don't use little round point shovels .... they would kill your back
They are just for show.

I know what is up ..... a crew shows up digs the holes plants the trees
backfills around the root ball ..... and on a plastic tarp a little top soil
and mulch is left and then the big wigs show up and throw a shovel
or 2 at the tree.

BTW ... that bottom picture ..... i weep for this country .... what a ass clown.

[BringEmOn]

13. "Yep, chimpanzee shit makes the best fertilizer"

[hatrack]

14. How long before the American elm gets Dutch elm disease?

It's already suffering from Bush Blight and it won't take much more to end its suffering.

[The Jacobin]

19. Same as always.

The tree was already planted. Probably by day laborers that shrub wants to exploit as guest workers. Then the asshole tosses the last bit on and takes all the credit. Same as he has always done.
