Incidentally, that family lives and works in my parents’ town. Incredibly nice people who only laughed a little bit at my Egyptian Arabic.

1. So we’re really just going to reenact Veep?

I filter everything that comes out of the tap here in DC. Shit’s vile (but pretty healthy if you can get over the taste/smell).

Not to defend the administration’s actions, which were stupid (the answer is always: a sovereign nation can do as it likes and at this time we have no course of action set), but I’m not sure you’re giving Israel a fair shake on this. As someone who has helped write ROE, maybe I can provide some perspective.

Leaking actual classified information occasionally falls under the guidelines for treason. Depends on a lot of factors, but yes, it is.

It’s weird, sure, but the prosecutor’s office hasn’t demonstrated they have any evidence beyond the presumed testimony of a single witness who will be destroyed on the stand by Greiten’s team.

It was nice of them to use the fig leaf. These days certain groups don’t even bother to conceal their corrupt actions. I mean, it’s not like anyone’s getting arrested for it.

Look, I have mixed feelings on capitalism, but I have realistic feelings on slavery. Not once in the existence of this entire fucking world has there been an empire built without slave labor.

I don’t give these companies my cell phone number any more to prevent this kind of shit.

(In that case I think largely because they saw the…

Ill Communication is probably some peoples’ favorite Beasties album. It’s certainly the point at which they entered the mainstream consciousness.

It’s a credit to Harrison Ford that he’s clearly interested in convincing people Alden Ehrenreich isn’t a crap actor and unlikeable dickwad. Now that optimistic me has spoken, I wonder how much Disney/LFL is paying him to put some polish on Ehrenreich’s disastrous PR tour?

They don’t really have a choice, which is why they’re doing this, as all other things D&D related, with reticence.

I legitimately could not tell if that was Clarkson or Piers Morgan at first.

No, but it’s certainly put into a box for shipping.

I personally have no strong feelings on the embassy move other than I much preferred visiting Tel Aviv myself. But there’s no reason to hate something for purely selfish reasons.

You’ll need to be less nautical with your referential terms. That’s damn near French!

In fairness, everything that’s being done with North Korea is what regional experts have recommended for...about forty years.
