So I was just in a tiny, desperately poor coastal west African country that's mostly flat, dependent on subsistence agriculture, and will be absolutely turbofucked by the sea level rise brought on by climate change. Despite that no civilian government has survived a full term in office due to continual interference by the country's military, they still managed to find their asses with both hands and sign the Paris Agreement even though they contribute .02% of the world's greenhouse gases.

Sigh.

Because a 90-120 day moratorium on travel from a bunch of countries that don't have Trump hotels in them have large Muslim populations will surely prevent the hordes of dastardly Mohammedians from coming into America and clearing out their local Enterprise rental lot and driving them into churches, yep yep.

At the very least, I'm glad that Trump can't stop flying off the cuff because his tweets will be great in front of SCOTUS.

this qatar thing is weird as gently caress, how did the us not hear any rumbling amongst ostensible allies that they were going to break with and diplomatically isolate another ally?

edit: wrong thread but question stands. also hi nazgul, im hyped for fall of oriath

Because there are hundreds of vacant mid-level positions at State right now that Trump has declined to fill, and surprisingly enough, some of those jobs would entail hearing rumblings amongst ostensible allies that they were going to break with and diplomatically isolate another ally.

So now the 4th circuit and the 9th circuit agree that Donnie can go gently caress himself and the 4th circuit's opinion is being appealed to the Supreme Court already.

lol the Supreme Court might punt this thing and leave the Donnie loss intact

If SCOTUS punts, expect a trickle, then a flood, of Justices reporting inappropriate phone calls from Trump.

I don't mean to sound :tinfoil: here, but has anyone here just taken a step back and taken a big loving deep breath while taking a look around? We have a president who, five months into his term, is under investigation for obstructing a probe into how the motherfucking Russians undermined the same electoral system that got him into power. Beyond that, we have the GOP becoming increasingly horrified that there's No Brakes on the Trump Train but unable to do anything but keep pushing the throttle. The Democrats' electoral prospects for 2018 are starting to look somewhat decent, which means they've got a year and a half to rescue defeat from the jaws of victory yet again. At a societal level, we've tribalized ourselves to a degree that no one has a shared sense of reality. We have one side that believes Hillary Clinton was sex trafficking children out of a loving pizza parlor, and the other side fervently hoping for proof that there's clandestine footage of Trump watching Russian hookers piss on a bed Obama slept in. Political violence, though pretty low level at this point, is becoming increasingly normalized. Again, one side marches into battle with its soldiers marching under the banner of a cartoon frog, its troops looking like a mix of bloated Operators and half-assed Spartan warriors, against punks and ninjas. This would be fun as gently caress to watch in Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator, but holy poo poo otherwise.

Things just seem straight up loving STRANGE and I don't see them getting any better any time soon.

I work with these people. They are good at what they do, but much like Ben Carson, and pretty much anyone else, they are next to useless outside their element. I know someone will throw up the defense, "they are great with constantly changing goals and personnel etc" but honestly a top kick probably has more experience getting people situated in government housing than her.

Why do they keep picking people with no experience and assuming they'll just somehow make up for the total lack of knowledge rapidly and become effective leaders?

I mean I guess I know why but gently caress, it's frustrating.

Conversely, one of my best friends works for HUD and I'm pretty sure she's turning into an alcoholic now.

Towering Inferno total now up to 58 presumed dead, making it deadlier than the 2005 London tube bombings.

Have the authorities released a count of how many people actually made it out or have otherwise been accounted for? Seems to me that the toll could go up to the hundreds based on how devastating the fire was.

Orcas are one of the only species that "plays with their food" like this, so if the orca truce is indeed over, it's gonna make Jaws look like Finding Nemo by comparison.
