Nothing in the past couple days that I’ve seen. They’re still investigating it. Leaks from US sources are blaming the Iranians, but nobody has offered anything more substantive about how, why, etc. 

You’re too kind. I personally wouldn’t feel remotely qualified for the job...but it’s hard to imagine doing any worse than what we’ve already got.

So...we’ve seen absolutely zero evidence of this “credible threat” to US assets the theatre, a senior commander in an allied force in said theatre of operations directly contradicted any indication of such a threat, and the only people really interested in supporting such a conflict have a centuries-old sectarian…

Sadly, my job has been relocated to NE Florida. It beats my job having outright moved to India, but the downside is that I’m now stuck in Trumpland. Florida south of Orlando isn’t too bad, but north of the I4 corridor...it’s basically South Georgia.

They’re right about one thing - Trump yard signs can be a useful tool.

The rebooted Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider were great. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was...ok, but not up to the quality of its two predecessors. Maybe it would have been better if I had played it with the entire season’s DLC from the start, but I didn’t enjoy it enough to warrant another full play through just…

Is it just me, or does the term “Great Patriot Farmers” sound more like something Chairman Mao would have used than something a president of the US should be saying?

Moreover, if they were going to start over from scratch to manufacture most of this stuff in the US...the factories would largely be automated, and would only create a fraction of the jobs the MAGAHats want to believe they will (and they’ll be jobs that require very specific education and vocational training that your…

A) Hopefully, any dirt they could muster on Biden (factual or otherwise) would end up being irrelevant, because I really, really hope he isn’t the 2020 Democratic nominee.

Heart disease is actually good for something after all!

And really...while funneling his fortune into humanitarian and ecological causes would be ideal, I’d much rather see him contribute something meaningful to space exploration than just live a life of frivolous opulence and then leave untold wealth to his kids or his cat or whatever when he dies.

Probably closer to a pre-protomolecule version of The Expanse (which, handily enough, is also now an Amazon Prime IP!).

Ehh...Donj’s been keeping a low profile lately, but his “apolitical” status went out the window with his involvement with the 2016 presidential campaign.

I get that you’ve got a beef with any 2020 Dem who isn’t Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. But the reporting on this is a going to be a no-win situation no matter what he does.

And how long before he takes a cue from his buddy Duterte’s extrajudicial murders of drug dealers and addicts, and starts actively encouraging his supporters to perpetrate violence upon illegal immigrants?

Brought to you by old white guys that view The Handmaid’s Tale as more aspirational than cautionary...

Every time I hear a report like this, colonizing Mars and the Belt sounds a little less like some far-off sci-fi future and an inevitable Plan B for when life here goes to hell in a hand basket.

The White House is going full Wag The Dog at this point, and keeping all their options open as to who gets sacrificed to ensure the “You can’t vote against a sitting President in wartime, you commie pinko libtard!” votes.

While I’m pretty sure the SCOTUS would shoot that idea down in a heartbeat as a violation of the intent of the 22nd Amendment, we’d be in deep shit if it ever came to that...because there’s a real chance he wouldn’t abide by their decision, anyway. And that’s some uncharted territory for this experiment in…

GoT is pulling a Battlestar Galatica, and running an otherwise solid series into the ground in the last season.
