Excellent article Mr. Wetzel! A clear-eyed and informative analysis of the facts on the ground, without any political posturing criticism of Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin or unfounded leaps of logic or speculation things I don’t agree with. This is what FA needs more of.

Except for all the chanting of “Putin the Thief” in the streets, yeah, you’re right.

Iron man. Iron Man

BUT HE’S MAKING DEALS AND SETTING NATIONAL POLICY WHILE GOLFING.

There has to be a person in the car to take over if freaks out. Since the person wasn’t manning the controls they weren’t actually driving, therefore weren’t a driver.

And that is why in my shop we don’t buy Lexmark crap. Toner more expensive than gold (or possibly platinum) dust, cartridges designet do fall apart as soon as the toner runs out and a fucking chip keeping tabs on you. It’s as is Ford made you sign an agreement to fill your car with Ford gasoline only at Ford gas…

Some feel that she appears to be running defense for the company rather than truly seeking to change the culture.

batman has only brought in over $1 billion 2x at the box office: dark knight and dark knight rises (and they barely passed $1 billion). it’s a complete myth that he has driven in more than $1 billion routinely. ditto for superman. no superman film has brought in $1 billion. ever.

“In Middle America it’s, ‘Oh, it’s a low Rotten Tomatoes score so I’m not going to go see it because it must suck.’ But that number is an aggregate and one that nobody can figure out exactly what it means, and it’s not always correct,”

Hey the first 2 Rush Hour movies were good. Everything else......

How dare you compare this show to Westworld.

it sure as fuck was

If Barack Obama was the President and he heard of a credible threat from laptops he would ban laptops from every flight until the threat was cleared. Not leave an easy workaround like “fly from Jordan to a different airport and then fly to the US”. Barack Obama also doesn’t have the massive credibility hole that…

Roses are red

This on top of the Ukrainian authorities investigating him for money laundering with the former, ousted pro-Russian President.

This smells like pay to play politics to me. Trump (or some other political figure) is probably giving back to his airline contributors who have been crying about unfair competition from middle eastern carriers. Nothing to see here, just more corruption from the best congress big money can buy.

Actually, that sounds like a balls-cool cold open to me.

Completely agree, that was what I was trying to say. Cruise has a reputation for knowing what works in films and putting a great deal of effort into making a good product. It’s not so much that he performs the stunts, which is still impressive, it’s that he has a reputation for coming up with the stunts, or being game…

I’ll add that he’s also always trying to one-up his own stunts... so it’s not like he’s just doing the same shit over and over. He thinks of new ways to push things in ways many in Hollywood would just say “GREEN SCREEN!” Credit where credit is due to that dude man.

Moonless night was just one of the factors. Obama didn’t approve it because military advisors recommended further reconnaissance was required at the time the administrations transitioned which was passed onto the Trump administration. Trump admin ignored that recommendation and we lost a SEAL, a very expensive Osprey…
