    All I can say is having watched the video, I agree that Space Force is a great idea. I sincerely hope each and every one of those people get launched into space on a one-way trip. :bergman:

    Didn't you know Melania's shoe choice can determine the fates of entire nations?

    amazing though when it's "large & powerful" with the democrats in charge it's kosher. With the Republicans not so much - imagine that! Regardless, too fucking bad. Go through the proper immigration procedures, live here and vote once you get that right. Otherwise develop your own country/continent into a major player that can influence the rest of the world. The third option is keep on whining like a puppy in the rain who isn't smart enough to find shelter, while I ignore you.

    Two words.

    Trade War.

    The election of Trump is definitely having a direct effect on Europe and Canada.

    Some people don't understand just how connected we truly are now, whether we want to be or not.

    That applies equally to anyone from any country though.

    At least you aren't as thin skinned as China tends to be. :bailey:

    A few games I play feature a not-insignificant Chinese population who have managed to make it through the Great Firewall of China. One of my guilty pleasures when I'm in a peculiar mood is just saying, "Taiwan number one" and watching the carnage unfold as the players have apoplectic fits. :diacanu:

    See those big fucking US military bases in Germany? Or those big fucking US-ran ECHELON stations in Yorkshire?

    Guess what? We're knee-deep in each other shit, so hush now.

    That won't work on the trumpsters because we have credit cards for their disability benefits, but we might be able to modify that with some fake twenties with twitler's face on it. Still, our present plan of spiking heroin with fentanyl seems to be thinning the white trash disability crowd like the grim reaper with a chainsaw.

    No one here is going to deny that your knowledge of illegal drug use is vast and unparalleled.

    Some of us have learned some things and others of us trust religious fantasy stories written 1700 years ago and textbooks that come from noted revisionist history publishers and that is not to mention the racist drug lies made to scare whitey away from the thugs selling pot.

    I get the religious and Bible references but I have no idea what "textbooks" you are referring to.
