Let’s not ignore the personal sacrifice of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. Each person he deports is one less opportunity for him to use one of his grandpappy’s nooses. And he shawly does love his nooses.

I can’t believe how much work has gone into the Klingon language, considering how terrible it sounds. They’ve got several language consultants, and the actors think the teeth make them sound like “genuine” Klingons - which just goes to show how far off everyone involved in the production actually is.

“Hawking radiation firewall”

Maybe Neil deGrasse Tyson is right.

Okay, let’s assume I agree with you that all presidents are horrible. The issue I have is that the current president is FAR worse than the others. Like, an order of magnitude worse.

“Why do you accept double standards?”

The man was on tape saying he grabs women by the ‘pussy’, and it’s Cintons fault for not seeing him as a threat...

Is that a ready room? One table. One tribble. No chairs. Random bowl of fortune cookies.

Billionaire whiz kid Elon Musk, who last year announced his plan to send a group of astronauts either incredibly brave or incredibly eager to get off this dumb planet to colonize Mars

Russia is a shitehole country and always treats Russian minorities and Central Asians (formerly part of USSR) like shit. They hate Russian Muslims (like Tatars), Black people, Jews, etc. While the USSR existed, the Soviets denied citizenship to Jews, which was why many Russian Jews fled the USSR and came to America.…

No, you don’t want that. In Chile we had seventeen years of military regime thanks to Kissinger and Nixon, and I wouldn’t advice it.

I served in the military during the Vietnam war, and my foot hurt too, but I served anyway.
