Continuing expansion is literally killing us. That some oil will still be needed is unavoidable. Pulling more and more until it runs out is stupid and short-sighted.

There’s not but six of them. Why are you holding them to this standard you know they can’t meet?

Hell, the logical first move for Iran is to disrupt oil production and exports in the region if this looks like it’s going to escalate much more. We need it, our allies need it, and some of Iran’s only allies are net producers, some those under sanction just like they are.

I dunno, this is something he’s said in the past he thought would be effective at distracting from domestic issues, and we all know he firmly believes any idea he has is the smartest possible idea. The timing is extremely suspect - I’d bet that they got “someone important” was making the most of an opportunity.

I’m so glad to hear that someone who’s been handed everything from every financial opportunity she’s ever seen to the surgeries that adjusted her appearance (no shade there, just that she’s had access to such privilege that she was able to remove her perceived aesthetic flaws with no trouble) has opinions on the…

Lindsey Graham calling someone a racist is . . .

It’s remarkable how used to the taste of farted-in slacks that man is.

I didn’t question your meaning, just whether it was an accurate characterization. I don’t believe it is, even with the additional context.

Well, that’s no good. Meanwhile, The Mandalorian is out there making vibro-weapons look cool, and giving us really badass customization options that could be applied to a Dark Forces style game. I don’t even need the game to be “official canon,” just give me a cool game where I can be an operative and fight gimmick…

Does she? She seems to understand the issues at hand, so “a child’s understanding” seems inapt. Is your understanding of the problem that she’s not sufficiently supportive of the mainstream party positions? Because that’s not what she was elected on.

Oh no.

I’d bet good money they only come around when nobody is looking. It’s a Kkkalvin and Hobbes situation.

I see that we killed some people, apparently with full knowledge that there would be retaliation, and that once the dust clears and more people are dead, we’ll have achieved nothing for the people of the region, the United States, or the world.

I’ve not heard about anyone else besides Medvedev, but last I heard, he upset Papa when he took his turn “at the helm,” back when the Russian government was still pretending they gave a shit about their constitution. He tried to make his own choices a couple times, and like anyone else with a bad boss, he chose…

Not sure permanently avoiding the public domain is really in society’s interest. We’re getting a taste now of what having the bulk of our cultural touchstones under copyright looks like, and it’s honestly pretty ugly. 

Just to add on, after this, the Board of Governors (appointees of our badly gerrymandered Republican General Assembly) also gave out an additional $74,999 payment to neo-Confederate groups. $75,000 triggers automatic review.

Prescribed uppers are a hell of a drug.

Putin only kills his folks if they try to defect.

Right. And then “and here’s my assessment of the things I didn’t like, which are also factually true and not subjective.”
