    i'm sure that the US relaxing its encirclement of china, turning on iran while giving saudi Arabia a free hand, undermining Nato, and generally being a russian puppet will have no long term impacts, or encourage adventuring that will lead to a lot more deaths further down the line.

    I see Bannon is going to be spending some quality time with a grand jury and various panels.

      Here, and I think the UK, Volvos tend to be the definitive geezer-moblie.

        Old geezers or facking geezers?

          Both possibly, old certainly.

                What the fuck? That’s EdStone levels of bollocks that will attract no new voters.

                  That Tweet is from Steve Sebelius, who does the politics on the local CBS affiliate, and left the Las Vegas Review-Journal because the editorial policy became not to his liking (he wouldn't do what Sheldon Adelson wanted).

                  He's usually pretty fair.

                    Trump is fit and healthy and could live to be 200 if he ate healthily, according to his totally believable medical check.

                      Trump's BMI is exactly 29.9. If his height were half an inch less, or his weight 1 pound more, he would be technically obese. I wonder who set the "zero" point on that set of scales...

                      It kind of reminds me of a story a friend told me from Bahrain or Qatar in the early 90s, where all outdoor work would shut down if the temperature was going to be 43C or above. Every night, the weather forecast predicted a maximum temperature of 42 degrees, and therefore work sites were open.

                        So you were an advocate of Obama's foreign policy?

                          From Deadspin a list of "Trump’s closest physical comparisons from the world of sports."

                          Though this has reminded me how overweight I am still, even if I have managed to get below Trump's 239lbs in the past 6 months.

                            A 16 year old Volvo left parked where the eye of a Category 4 hurricane hits (on "Beach Street", no less) can be started and driven away after the hurricane as if nothing happened. Chevys, Buicks and Pontiacs.... not so lucky.

                              Not necessarily, but it's worth remembering that a lot of the time, peace is simply a matter of stalemates. (i.e. North korea) While a lot of people can die as the result of a particular foreign policy. it's the rapid change of foreign policy that really kills a lot of people. Be it invading iraq, or just basically pulling out, and ISIS filling the gap. Essentially radical change leads to sudden vacuums and in those vacuums, wars happen.

                              the problem with fucking Trump is that he makes wild, erratic decisions, without understanding anything about anything, and seems primarily intent on changing things because that's the way they were under Obama, not understanding just how traditional so many of his positions were. Every stupid thing he says creates a vacuum, some of them bigger than others.

                                While the locks on my four-year-old XC70 freeze as soon as 0 degrees C hits, and the drivers side window insists it must open again every time it gets half-way up.

                                  Donald Trump’s secretary of homeland security, Kirstjen Nielsen, admits not knowing whether Norway’s population is mainly white, during questioning by the Senate homeland security committee. Asked by Senator Patrick Leahy if Norway is ‘predominantly white’, Nielsen replies: ‘I actually do not know that sir.’

                                    This is far from the most important observation made on this thread, but I'm going to say it anyway: Barkevious Mingo is an absolutely glorious name. I'll sleep a tiny bit more happy tonight for knowing there's someone called that in the world.

                                      Someone called Nielsen doesn't know what Scandinavian people tend to look like.

                                      Where do they find these people?

                                        I assume that people who watch Fox News exclusively (and that must be all Trump's picks) think that all European countries are overrun with Muslims and Africans to the extent that they actually have no idea whether or not there are still any white people left (and the ones that are there spend their lives huddled in very small "safe areas")

                                          The new Ambassador for the Netherlands, Pete Hoekstra, has gotten himself in trouble on several occasions for describing the Netherlands like that, despite being Dutch by birth. These are stunningly stupid people.

                                            (Dutch stereotype incoming: ) Yeah, but he was born in Groningen.

                                              I'm sure Nielsen knows full well what the population of Norway's demographics are, but was attempting to hamfistedly hide her President's naked racism.

                                                    The highest compliment Trump can pay someone he has sex with:

                                                    Although Donald Trump is alleged to have paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 in 2016 to keep quiet about a reported affair that took place 10 years previously, In Touch Weekly has published an interview with Daniels from 2011, before the signing of any NDA, in which she spills intimate details of meeting the then-Apprentice host at a celebrity golf event in Lake Tahoe.

                                                    A frequent theme throughout the interview concerns Trump being taken aback by how smart and business savvy Daniels was, with Trump going so far as to tell Daniels that he wanted to put her on The Apprentice. One of Daniels’s quotes on the subject which In Touch published in the print edition of the story but not online, is particularly striking.

                                                    “We had really good banter,” Daniels told In Touch. “He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful, smart, just like his daughter”
