So China (the ones who invented climate change) currently spends $100 billion a year at home and $30 billion abroad to replace coal with renewable energy, and the United States believes in the renaissance of this 19th century technology.

Not how they work in my country. They actually cost you an extra fee in plenty of locations and online payments.

Whoever is the unfortunate SOB that has to catch that pitch will have his arm blown clean off in a way only a .44 Magnum does in the movies.

Trump immediately rushes to fourth base.

Let’s get real, though.

Ultimately the one party issue might fix itself, since young black voters who didn’t experience Apartheid themselves won’t vote for everyone the ANC puts on the ballots like their parents and grandparents still overwhelmingly do. That will free up the party system over time and hopefully clamp down on the widespread…

Well, he was in career hell for 14 years because he had talked shit about Jews while being drunk - and that’s the one thing you can’t do in Hollywood. Abusing women is fine (see Johnny Depp), raping teenage girls is also not a problem (see Roman Polanski), but anti-semitism is where the buck stops with the studio…

Precisely - Trump doesn’t need to be competent, him being the idiot he is and creating chaos and forcing America into navel gazing over the next four years already frees up a lot of opportunities for Putin that he would never have had with President Clinton hawkishly watching his every move.

That drone footage Alexei Navalny got from his King Louis XIV compound a while ago was amazing.

I think you can be reasonably sure that he’s already made arrangements to be cryo-frozen if he falls terminally ill.

Progressive taxation and allocation of that tax revenue to fund better public education and infrastructure. Like many de facto one party systems, South Africa unfortunately is a very corrupt country - many of those funds go into the pockets of ANC apparatschiks.

At some point it becomes a game of who snitches first. Some journalists have alleged that Flynn probably already has a deal with the FBI, and why should he not?

I’ve read the first six books but never got around to reading the final one when it came out. Then it received such poor reviews that I haven’t bothered completing the series since then. Since it’s been about 20 years since I read the sixth book, I’d probably have to re-read the whole series anyway, and that’s what,…

He’s not that different from many other CEOs in that regard. Good at self marketing, good at little else.

The US doesn’t have two years of this shit. Nixon at least had a fully functional, competent government - one he didn’t want to destroy, like Trump, Bannon and Miller do.

I was speaking about his general appearance, not about the content of his character.

Maybe giving him too little credit and underestimating him is the reason why he’s at where he’s at. Clinton felt so overconfident that she never even bothered to campaign in the states that lost her the presidency.

Clubs can certainly go bankrupt and fold, or be forced to a lower league if they can no longer play premier league fees. It happens. That’s not what we’re talking about here, we’re talking about moving a franchise from one city to another.

Gibson had a proven box office clout that Kilmer certainly didn’t yet.

Because we think of Nazis as evil, comical supervillains, when in reality, they were just people. Hannah Arendt called it the banality of evil. Much like Hitler, Göring and their ilk, Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell will never personally kill anyone, but you know that 25 million people losing their health insurance -…
