Thanks, jersey shore guy.

I like this because he got so many incredulous, positive responses that he basically tweeted later, "look, I get the humor of having a Jersey Shore meat head educating someone, but you can still be smart and party with friends". Vinny should primary Trump, since he is clearly more prepared for the role. Gym, tan and democratic engagement.

I'm not inclined to go that far, but it's still interesting. It's a perfect example of Trump tweeting before all the information is in (not that we don't have a thousand instances of that already), to the point where he's damaging foreign relations.

My more conspiratorial side wants to think that the Russian oil tankers are operating under the watch of Putin - although the Reuters article says that intelligence sources said that there is no evidence of that. But if Putin wants to destabilize the US, what better way than to have us start a nuclear war. Russia might want the NK problem to endure and escalate, and letting them keep the lights on by selling them oil is a good way to do that.

I have two different thoughts on this. The most likely is that both China and Russia understand that starving North Korea until it collapses would cause the greatest refugee crisis in world history, which could overwhelm and destabilize South Korea, possibly causing a crash in the world economy. A more conspiricy minded view is that goading Trump into going in to North Korea by showing that sanctions won't work would be another nail in the American empire.

There's never going to be a good Trump biopic because everyone's going to be trapped in this place where they either have to humanize him to the point of propaganda to make him come off like a real person or they have to present him as is and he'll just come off like a cartoon character. Its an impossible line to walk to somehow present Trump exactly as he is without it seeming like a bad comedy.

I half expect that by the end of 2018 Disney announces that the Hall of Presidents is being temporarily shut down because its been decided that they just can't get through a shift without all hell breaking loose and there's really no other solution than to shut it all down.

I think he's the most expensive animatronic they've made so it kinda seems like they'd want to use it. They might peel the face off and put it on a cheaper one then reuse the frame.

So it takes A LOT of fuel to go into space. Now imagine doubling that so you have enough fuel to land the rocket. Except now you doubled the weight of your rocket, and will need even more fuel to get it up into space. (I think it's an exponential relationship, due to diminishing returns on how much extra force the same bit of fuel can provide) so now you're using wayyyy more than you started with just to do something fancy. Then there's the technology and boosters required to steer the descending rocket (which is cool. Research this, but don't keep wasting rockets on it once you figure it out). Then you realize NASA already did this forever ago when they started landing rovers and landers on other planets. the LEM from the appollo missions already could do this, but they cheated by doing it on the moon (where there's no atmosphere, and 1/6th the gravity to overcome) and by leaving most of the rocket in space.

SpaceX is cheaper because they're buying refurbished rockets. It's a lot cheaper to launch something when you took advantage of a firesale on foreign rockets.
EDIT: Ignore this bit.

Im in no position to tackle this information. But doesnt space x have super smart people working on this and if it wasnt cheaper to reuse rockets why are they doing it?

also landing the rocket is only a fraction of the fuel needed to get into space.

falling to earth, hitting terminal velocity(not that fast) then breaking at the end?

Zero minutes of original footage. Just splice together two solid hours of actual recordings (not all of which have him directly in them but all of which are about him) and set it to Philip Glass if necessary.

I think a dramatisation is fine, just leave a "THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED" disclaimer across the bottom half of the screen for the entire duration. And then score it all with Penderecki

If he's impeached, he gets moved over to the corner with Clinton and little dick Johnson. If he resigns he hangs out with Tricky Dick for the rest of time. If he's actually impeached and removed they reskin the animatronic with a hastily repurposed Joe Biden face made into Pence and replace Trump with a wax figure of Adam Baldwin as Trump. Wax Trump will reside in a special case above the urinals in the closest men's room.

Just do it like in Good Night and Good Luck and have any and all of Trump's appearances "played" by real archive footage and brace for the complaints that "the actor" was "too over the top"
