More pig in the long pig . . .
Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
Sometimes I wonder if the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it. - Mark Twain
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.   - Frédéric Bastiat

S'ow did they do that?
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?

Hopefully this works!

If not, maybe they can learn something from it.

I think non-kosher stuff is ok with Jews if it is necessary to save a life.

It'll be really interesting to see how long he lasts.

My money is on him ultimately undergoing some sort of rejection in spite of every effort to suppress the rejection mechanisms typically present.

This story made me recall another one in Eastern Europe or Russia where a doctor was preparing to perform a head transplant onto a donor human body.  Evidently that operation never happened, the patient backed out of the procedure.
