It was explicitly stated that the FO cruisers could keep pace but not catch up. It was said out loud. Maybe you missed that.

You guys, none of this is real.

This scene bugged the shit out of me but not for the reason described.

“BB-8, sorry to do this little buddy, but....well...your kind replaceable. You can calculate hyperspace jumps...that’s kinda your main purpose. So give us about 20 minutes, then hyperspace this piece of shit into that big-ass First Order ship. We’re gonna bounce and regroup later. Thanks, bud! I’ll make sure you get a…

Couldn’t they just “volunteer” an astromech droid to do that shit?

Trump’s not smart enough to plan these things on dead news days/news dump days, like a Friday afternoon. When it happens, it’ll happen at, like, 9 AM on a Monday.

Yesterday Trump actually started to scream and rage at the FBI while in FBI HQ while giving his speech to those cops. It wasn’t just the White House lawn, he raged about Mueller in Mueller’s work place. He’s scared as hell.

“No one turned over, people are saying - the best people, really - that no one in HISTORY has turned over more seats in a midterm election than me. Winning, bigly!” - President of the United States, a walking, semi-sentient giant sphincter.

You should see the returns that lottery winners get on a $5 ticket.

Meh. This is a road car, not a race car. The number of people who are going to buy one and run it flat out for 30 minutes at any point during its life is, if not zero, close to it.

Clearly you’ve never been to Texas.

You’d also think that, being Texas with its open carry laws, there would have been plenty of good guys with guns ready to stop this. Maybe that whole narrative is a bunch of crap as well.

We need more thoughts and prayers. That’ll help.

Man, if anywhere was going to have a magical bulletproof blanket of thoughts and prayers, it’d be a church on Sunday morning. I’m starting to get the sense that maybe those thoughts and prayers aren’t working as intended.

Probably a good thing you wouldn’t hire them, I wouldn’t want to be hired by a company that doesn’t understand humor.

The worse thing is that I don’t think Trump cares if NK does nuke the West Coast (it is full of hippies and democrats, so no loss to him)

I think you’ve got it wrong, but I’m not more hopeful. I do think the DPRK nuclear weapons are meant as a deterrent because there is no scenario where the US allows a unified Korea under Kim, even losing a few of our cities would actually be less destructive to the US than that, given the technological capacity of…

The idiots who branded Clinton as the Hawk candidate as a rationalization for her being worse than Trump are so stupid as to be unworthy of attempting to have a rational conversation.

I keep pointing out, and this is something that The President should know (Obama, and even Shrub, did) that in NK the leader’s position depends on him appearing tough and getting the last word in on an argument. If he doesn’t manage either of those, then he’s dead in a ditch somewhere at the hands of his political…
