He's planning to use Greenland as a staging area for a two front invasion of Canada. Greenland would never permit that, so he needs to take Greenland. It's the only thing that makes sense.

You are not prepared.

For the love of God, please don't give him ideas!

It's barely even a trickle these days.

Tiny stagnant puddle of consciousness.

There is a universe not so very far from our own in which Tucker Carlson is a respected legitimate investigative journalist. Such a shame he wasted his life in this universe spouting garbage on Fox News.

Or possibly they want to be allowed to turn the detainees over to the military at Camp Lemonnier so the ICE agents can be brought home without their victims, but I doubt the military is going to go along with that. That could explain the bare minimum lodgings. "Don't get comfy, gents."

Silly buggers, no doubt.

The person writing that long whine probably wants to argue that the court can't force the ICE agents to stay in Djibouti because it's harming their health, and therefore the court must allow them to continue on to the South Sudan to dump their kidnap victims.

Yup, the Seth Michaud Emergency Medical and Dental Facility. Camp Lemonnier usually has around 5,000 personnel stationed there -- it's the largest US base in Africa. A press release from 2015 says they treat 10,000 patients a year.

There's a hotel on the base too, the Hotel Echo-Six.

Bongo Bongo Bongo, Trump has banned the wrong-a Congo!
Oh no no no no!

Early fall, 1919: President Woodrow Wilson has a severe stroke while in office. His wife, Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, becomes the first de facto female President of the US, acting as the sole gatekeeper for Presidential matters. The full extent of Wilson's stroke is hidden from the public.

Look, you can't expect NYT and WaPo to cover things like this when they have to investigate whether Biden, an old guy, was old. PRIORITIES!

Comey refused to swear personal loyalty to Trump. No way Donnie 2Scoops would give Comey any credit for helping him to defeat HRC. Trump's wins are always 100% his own doing; his losses are always 100% the other person cheating.

Has Comey ever publicly expressed regret for his actions in 2016?

You think Gamergaters were responsible for Trump, and not Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Fox News, racism, and sexism? You really shouldn't buy into Gator BS. All they did was terrorize women in gaming, which is bad enough, but they did not bring us Trump.

You think The Last Jedi led to the election of Trump? That's quite the spicy hot take.

By saying it's not the Toupee Problem, are you saying that you are familiar with the entirety of Star Wars fandom and you think everyone in it is terrible?
May 12, 2025 at 9:28 PM
I've read Dune. Have you read N. K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy?
May 12, 2025 at 9:26 PM
This wouldn't have fixed the core problem with the sequels, which is that they didn't have a new story to tell so they just told the same one again but worse. They needed a new story backbone entirely and they needed to plan out the entire trilogy before starting to shoot the first one.
May 12, 2025 at 9:25 PM
This is survivorship bias, though -- AKA the Toupee Problem. "Toupees are always awful, I can always tell when someone is wearing one!" "Vegans are always preachy and judgmental!" It's a very bad idea to look at the worst examples of a group and categorize that as typical.

I was fortunate enough to be able to see this years ago at a local non-chain theater on a full-size screen, with the intermission and all. Fantastic movie (obviously) but are people not allowed to enjoy and appreciate both this and Star Wars? What is your point?

Tell me you haven't watched Andor without telling me you haven't watched Andor.

If you hear reports that a tiger has gotten loose and is eating people, do you think it's more likely that it came from the San Diego Zoo or from Joe Exotic's backyard?
