good news, gtfo, abandoned poodle of the zionists. Albania is the perfect spot for him.

Brummbaer@pawb.social on 11 Apr 10:58 collapse

What an odd choice of country.

ede@lemmy.ml on 11 Apr 11:06 next collapse

Probably for the proshutë në avull.

Brummbaer@pawb.social on 11 Apr 11:11 collapse

If that is another Simpsons reverence, well done. Maybe I’m missing subtext here and “steamed ham” means something else in Albanian.

ede@lemmy.ml on 11 Apr 11:16 collapse

It’s an Albany albanian expression.

Akasazh@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 11:40 next collapse

What does the expression mean?

MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip on 12 Apr 02:11 collapse

I couldn’t quickly turn up anything to suggest it’s used in any idiomatic expression, so presumably they just meant it’s a normal Albanian term rather than any figure of speech.

Akasazh@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 09:44 collapse

Thanks for looking out up!

FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 17:58 collapse

Bravo. Begins slow clap

SippyCup@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 12:12 next collapse

It’s cheap, and it’s beautiful. With a little bit of money you could live like a king there

EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 14:31 next collapse

Some even say that Albania is the New York of Albania.

Brummbaer@pawb.social on 11 Apr 16:13 collapse

I’ll pass, I’m not straight and religious enough to enjoy it there.

otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 11 Apr 17:42 collapse

Even those that are, aren’t.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today on 11 Apr 12:45 collapse

Probably the only one that would take him.

ol_capt_joe@piefed.ee on 11 Apr 11:19 next collapse

Poor Albania 😕

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today on 12 Apr 06:29 collapse

the president of albania gave him the passport, so he must like him.

Akasazh@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 11:42 next collapse

In completely unrelated news: corruption rate of Albania raises by three percent points

the_tab_key@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 12:51 next collapse

Not so rare anymore

limonfiesta@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 14:16 collapse

Albania is already notoriously corrupt.

So Adams might fit right in, but I doubt he’s going to move the needle.

Akasazh@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 14:41 collapse

That was the joke I was going for, though

GraniteM@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 12:13 next collapse

I checked, and we do have an extradition treaty with Albania, so it’s not what I figured.

postmateDumbass@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 18:21 collapse

Maybe just a hub airport for Türkiye Airlines.

“You ain’t flying if you aren’t on a Tūrkiye!”

Someone is running from prosecution.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today on 11 Apr 12:45 next collapse

Send him.

Tbh I’m surprised he didn’t move to Türkiye

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today on 12 Apr 06:29 collapse

why not RUZZIA, since they dont have extradition treaty.

kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 12 Apr 17:37 collapse

That joke missed you, kinda like the inspectors missing the fire safety violations of the Turkish embassy

postmateDumbass@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 18:22 collapse

Was it the 4th Thursday in November?

fisch@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 18:33 next collapse

I remember him promoting some crypto bullshit. I guess that didn’t work out as planned.

or UAE, SAUDIA ARABIA, qatar.

He traded a bunch of our currency for Argentina’s money. If he gets out of his presidency (alive and not in jail) my money is on him heading there.

“But isn’t Albany in New York?” - Average American

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today on 12 Apr 06:31 collapse

theres also an albany in AUSTRALIA.

nile_istic@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 10:36 collapse

I did not know that. But I’m also an American, so…

halyihev@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 17:47 collapse

There’s also an Albany in Vermont, for what it’s worth. Very small town, but it’s there.

goombakid@lemmy.world on 12 Apr 18:35 collapse

Oregon standing by.

AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip on 12 Apr 06:53 collapse

Well this is unfair, i want one now. Ive always said how the albanian coast was really nice. Also free kosovo.
