Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.

From Russia With Love is such a funny movie. The Training School for Evil Henchmen is something that bond parodies wished they could do, but they can't, because they already did it as part of a real bond film

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I don’t think I have it in me to be a rich person. For >$40k I’d feel compelled to learn an actual skill like juggling or glass eating. Klein better be able to shoot a crossbow with his butt or something.

The orange felon says the Epstein Files are a “Democratic Hoax” and yet he still felt it necessary to doctor documents and hide evidence whilst redacting everything that would be damaging to him.

That’s called GUILTY AF.

Article 22 is a jewelry company that repurposes Vietnam War shrapnel and battlefield debris. A portion of their profits goes to the Mine Advisory Group, which works to remove landmines still left in Laos (they've removed more than 300k mines!). I like the company's "Shard" necklace collection.

The orange felon insults yet another female reporter by calling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins “stupid and nasty” after she inquired about the price of his trashy dictator ballroom after it increased by another $100M.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?
