Blind, slippery and prone to burrowing underground, a newly discovered amphibian has much in common with President Donald Trump, claims the British company that named the creature.

Germany declared war on the USA on December 11, 1941. I did learn history.

You’re welcome.

Inbred, jug eared, chinless, green toothed butt boys got no cred on this topic. Go boil a loaf of bread and call it supper.

Look at the context of the post I was replying to; it concerns the European theater, particularly Britain. The Pearl Harbor sneak attack by Japan by itself would not have moved FDR to get involved in Europe no matter how closely allied Adolf and Hirohito were.

Much in common?

Nope. No bias there.

Ironically, EnviroBuild unwittingly paid President Trump a huuuuuuge compliment, comparing him to Jesus.

In Psalm 22, considered a Messianic Psalm, prophesy about Jesus and His thoughts on the cross:

But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
Psalm 22:6

Oh..says which factual book about WW II?

Japan, the Nazi "empire", and Italy were allies! At war with one of them...AT WAR WITH ALL!

Italy also declared war on the USA, at the same time.

By Congress declaring war on Japan, THREE DAYS PRIOR to Hitler and Mussolini declaring war on the USA, Congress also declared war on all three allies.

Considering the fact that the expansive British Empire created a great number of the most difficult issues we face in the world today, they should not be pointing fingers. Go to the map room at the Athenaeum Club in London, and see how they carved up the world.

Nah, name it after little Dick Durbin who always attaches himself to Schumer’s butt in search of a camera that he might be able to share with Schumer.

the boss of Envirobuild is just another gloBULL warming rent-seeker. this was his previous company:

Jul 2016: Guardian: ‘Mistakes are essential to innovation, it means you are trying new things
by Josephine Moulds
Other entrepreneurs have learned to focus the hard way. Aidan Bell’s first company was EvoEnergy, which installed solar panels. The company grew dramatically, from £1m turnover in its first year, to £6m the following, and £25m in its third year of trading. Then the government slashed support for the solar industry. “While we had realised there were going to be cuts and there was going to be a decrease in market size, we were not prepared for the speed of those cuts. The government had literally killed the market.”

EvoEnergy made 100 staff redundant, almost a third of the workforce, but then it had to do a second and third round of redundancies. “We should have done that immediately,” says Bell. “The problem was they were really good but we just didn’t have the balance sheet to allow us to ride out the storm with a fatter staff than was required.”

With the benefit of hindsight, Bell says EvoEnergy should have taken on funding when it could have and should not have racked up such large overheads. As well as signing leases on cars and property, Evo had its construction workers on the payroll. Bell says they should have been on zero-hours contracts. “It is ethically dubious, but for a business it is very sensible because it allows you to flex up and down. We had people on PAYE because that is the correct thing to do.”...

His current company is significantly leaner, with just six staff including himself and founder James Brueton. They work out of an office in Brixton, with a rolling monthly charge. EnviroBuild Materials is not, however, a small operation...

The company has outsourced much of its labour including web design, online marketing, PR, delivery, HR, acccountancy and IT. “Broadly, the only things we have in-house are brand identity and sales.”...

I can see why san fran freako researchers were interested in this.

They are always looking for new small live things to shove up their assh0les.

Their world revolves around their anuses after all.

I swear I pray for all the gerbils and hamsters unfortunate enough to be shipped to California.

The germans declared war on Dec. 12 1941, fives days after Pearl Harbor and after the US declared war on Japan.
