We’re about to form some ill-conceived economic alliance with Russia, the Philippines and North Korea, aren’t we?

As a transplant to Florida who’s lived here for quite some time now, this book sounds fascinating and topical.

It was a decent episode, but I think this is where things are getting a little sticky trying to both cover too much in such a short time period and adjust the plotline from the book. I’ll be the first to admit that Abaddon’s Gate drags a little in comparison to the first two books, but it provides a lot of context…

On the bright side, at least he shut the hell up about CrossFit for a little while.

So, basically...he’s a Republican from the late 70s. Back when they were still wrong about almost everything, but hadn’t quite completely lost their goddamn minds.

Aren’t diplomats suppposed to be, you know, diplomatic?

This guy seems like what you’d get if you crossed Cletus Spuckler from the Simpsons with Jason Mendoza from The Good Place.

He wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’s not a hard “no.” Can’t possibly be any worse than what we have right now.

Offering tangible solutions to problems that are immediately relevant to voters’ lives gets them enthused? Who knew?

The financial system is so out of control that nothing short of reinstituting Glass-Steagall will take that risk of financial armageddon off the table. But there are quite a few individuals and organizations with unimaginably deep pockets that would never let that happen.

“Wilbur, you’ve been trying too hard to keep your graft, corruption and incompetence quiet. You’re going to have to make a spectacle of at least one of those personal failings before the end of the month, or you’re fired.”

Sorry to hear about the disability situation. That’s rough.

A $400 emergency room bill? If you get out of the ER for only $400, you either have very generous insurance or probably weren’t sick/hurt enough to really need to be there in the first place.

Elon has a pretty hefty smattering of crazy mixed in his moments of genius. He’s either going to make history by starting the first colony on Mars, or go full supervillain and end up trying to conquer the world with an army of robot spiders.

Meh...still not enough to motivate me to plunk down $16 to go see it at the theatre. But maybe I’ll pay a bit more attention for the Easter eggs when it hits Netflix.

It’s probably for the best. The summit probably would have just ended with the two of them getting into a fistfight, anyway.

I still don’t get why multiple cops showed up for what should have been a $50 parking ticket left on the car’s windshield.
