Pellisworth posted:in all seriousness it's pretty worrying how much Russia can gently caress things up with a lil' bit of fake news Oh yeah, I agree. I mean, what's really hosed up about everything that's been happening is that the lines between reasonable concern and conspiracy theory are getting blurrier and blurrier, and it's not even clear anymore if it matters where one ends and the other begins. Maybe Trump's direct involvement with Russia is limited to campaign lackeys like Manafort and maybe Russian interference in the election didn't meaningfully change anything, but even if that's the case it's still leading to this fundamental distrust of our institutions that wasn't present a year ago. Hell, part of what makes this situation with Qatar so unnerving is that there's no apparent US government position or response outside of Twitter.

Why did everyone have to look up "humdinger" today? I understand if you're not from the US, but that is the only excuse! This has been the worst thing about today!

The most depressing thing is that within a year of possible extinction they have started to find guinea worm infections in dogs.

Glad to see KSA stick to 10 points. quote:1. Suppress all publications which "incite hatred and contempt of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy" and are "directed against its territorial integrity". May it bring the Saudis the same fortune as the Hapsburgs...

The Saudis couldn't fight a war against anyone if they tried. Really, they buy all this serious hardware and never have the organizational structure to actually use it properly...and that's not even getting into the conversation of will to use it. If it does come to hostilities, I wonder who they'll try to hire to do it for them.

Freudian slip from "minimum wage" most likely, which is also not good to just verbally come out against at a debate at this point.

Timeless Appeal posted:Obama might be the first US President who becomes more powerful after his presidency. I think stuff like the video in support of Macron is a sign of things to come. Trump might be President. Obama is still a leader if not the leader. He's young for a statesman in a time of crisis-opportunity. He has plenty of time and potential for a Napoleonic return. James Mattis might be the first US President who was more powerful before his presidency. Him and Joe Washington.
