Basically Trump was so burnt by Obama at that dinner that he set out to destroy America in retaliation.

He was already a birther way before then, thats part of why Obama specifically roasted him

Then, later that night, Obama supervised the operation to kill Bin Laden

They should make a wheel of time show, and ignore everything that happens after book.... let's say six.

Also probably just go ahead and rework the whole thing because that first book is pretty nonsense at the end too.

Sony is working on it, having managed to finally get the rights to away from the people who had it before

As much as I enjoyed WOT, I fully expect it to be terrible. Though I guess they might manage to get through the first couple books before it really goes to poo poo

The funniest thing about Wheel of Time is how the main hero who I'm sure isn't a self insert in any way gets to marry three beautiful women and they're all cool with sharing him, then his powerful sperm gives them all twins/triplets (Well I can't remember if he knocks Min up or not)

No, the funniest thing is that he based it off his own experience of balancing dating 2 girls at once and them being cool with it, and he decided "well if I can balance 2 girls, the savior of the world should be able to handle 3". I guess a lot of chicks were into spanking back then, or something

Over thanksgiving, my ultra-conservative uncle said my cousin was doing a great job taking money from rich idiots as a consultant who told companies things they knew, but no one wanted to admit. He then spent a good chunk of the night arguing in favor of the tax cuts :psyduck:

Oh, also complaining about how the religious, private school he sent his kids to decided to:
A: Move to new larger building since enrollment was so high
B: Once moved into the new buildings, jack up tuition to pay it off
C: Now that enrollment has plummeted for years due to the super high tuition, looking to move into a different, smaller building, but doing nothing to address the fact that no one sane wants to pay nearly 30K a year for kindergarten

you all know this, I'm just still testy about it 17 years later because it was such a stupidly lazy justification for the premise when they could have said like the AIs need human brainwaves or they're using the unused brain cells as biocomputers or something

lol there are aliens and no one gives a poo poo because it's 2017

I still feel like this is really far for Fox to go to promote the new season of X-Files

quote:

Under Mr. Bigelow’s direction, the company modified buildings in Las Vegas for the storage of metal alloys and other materials that Mr. Elizondo and program contractors said had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena. Researchers also studied people who said they had experienced physical effects from encounters with the objects and examined them for any physiological changes. In addition, researchers spoke to military service members who had reported sightings of strange aircraft.

By 2009, Mr. Reid decided that the program had made such extraordinary discoveries that he argued for heightened security to protect it.
“Much progress has been made with the identification of several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace-related findings,” Mr. Reid said in a letter to William Lynn III, a deputy defense secretary at the time, requesting that it be designated a “restricted special access program” limited to a few listed officials.

A 2009 Pentagon briefing summary of the program prepared by its director at the time asserted that “what was considered science fiction is now science fact,” and that the United States was incapable of defending itself against some of the technologies discovered. Mr. Reid’s request for the special designation was denied.

So yeah, either some rich dude and a senator got loving duped, or aliens are real, or some other country has loving future tech and we're using the alien angle to cover that poo poo up again

I saw The Post last night and it was pretty good. It's the new Spielberg movie with Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep about the Washington Post and the publishing of The Pentagon Papers during Vietnam and is essentially a prequel to All The President's Men.

I can't say it was his best movie, but it was still quite good and has pretty obvious applicability to modern attacks on the press.
