I was kinda hoping that about five seconds after that was taken, Merkel jumped on him and they all beat him to a pulp.

It’s “Ukraine” not “the Ukraine.” Sovereign nation versus region of the Soviet Union. Putin prefers the latter.

That guy looks like what I remember as a kid being the prototypical old/grandpa/guy: big, thick fingers with one or two rings with a big gem in them, hairy hands, pom-aide, loud, and lots of swearing. Like my grandpa. It must have been that all of those guys were in their 20s during WWII and they all were formed the…

Training cops is COMMUNISM!

I own a gun. Two as a matter of fact. And I do NOT trust CCW permit owners to have the training and skill to hit what they are fucking aiming at in a stressful situation. It’s too easy to get a CCW permit and the training required, if any, is not rigorous enough. Even the cops, who train all the time can’t hit what…

Fuck. I think I’m greyed for eternity on Splinter. Kinja why have you forsaken me?

Does he think he’s Pharell?

I think it’s just the accent. Anyone familiar with the Queen’s English knows they are saying “Fuck off and die you twats.”

+1 my brain hurts.

So there’s gotta be some leverage with McTurtle here. Someone needs to dig deep into her bullshit and ferret out the embarassing and probably illegal shit and tell Mitch to play ball or else she gets it. On the other hand, I could see Mitch throwing her under the bus faster than his head retreats into his neck flap…

That’s Pay per View material right there.

Lucky man. I look up every night it’s clear in the hope of seeing something like that.

I’m with you. I just hope in my lifetime we prove that life exists elsewhere; any kind of life. I’d like to imagine that life is a mundane product of planet formation and we just happen to be stuck in a rather uninteresting sparse portion of the galaxy.

Ha! That was the exact idea I had to explain human’s first contact in my sci-fi RPG. Mine was a couple of astronomy nerds borrowed their dad’s ship to come and see Saturn, whose rings turn out to be extrordinarily rare elsewhere. The ship wasn’t being used because it was malfunctioning and the idiots didn’t know that…

It’s Chriton! We’re all frelled!

Not necessarily. We assume it would be very hard to do these things, but what if they weren’t? We worry about all that’s involved in sending someone to Mars mostly because of how long it takes to get there and back. If we could reliably get there and back in two hours, we could send a couple of astronauts there with…

Catherine Sakai : Ambassador! While I was out there, I saw something. What was it?

Oh Christ would it would it be cosmically bad timing if our First Contact scenario involves Trump.

Maybe she needs some other Dem to be the foaming at the mouth firebrand who is on CNN daily trying to get the gallows built. Play some good cop, bad cop. Then she can work maneuvers, while the other guy is saying what she really wants to say. I see no raging anger from the Dems, at a time where it is clearly…

Well, you can fight dirtier than the Turtle, but . . . well . . . then we’re Russia with their “accidents.”
