Shit, I only clicked on this cuz I thought that was a growed-up Cindy Brady. Or was it.

Yep, and that's why Africa is still such a basket case. Arbitrary lines drawn by the colonizers with absolutely no regard for tribal areas. The whole continent needs to be redrawn, yet there seems to be no will to do so.

If they find oil or gas on Mars, you can bet we will get there. Hopefully we will come to our senses first and switch to renewable energy. But suppose Mars is made of Viagra? One could write a good sci fi novel about that.

So let's all vote for Hillary and watch her pass the TPP and TTIP, which will guarantee nothing ever gets done about global warming.

(But will make the big corporations who pay Hill and Bill even richer, ca-ching! $$$)~

Same with NOAA, all those pesky satellites and their "information," sheesh. Can't wait until they privatize the weather satellites, then we'll hear "wow that's quite a hurricane, shame if something happened to your city, that'll be another $10 million thanks"

You have a choice between someone you know, for a fact, is a walking talking fascist cut from the same cloth as hitler, Who will not only marginalize the gays and the womans and the browns but go to war against our own allies unless they pay us protection money (from his own mouth!) and Hillary.

One of these things is not like the other

extracting protection money in the form of economic surpluses from other countries is kind of how the US has functioned for 40 years. is more complicated obviously, using our military to prop up dictators who will only accept the dollar for their energy so that other nations have to carry massive reserves of dollars providing consumer goods in exchange… i'll stop rambling.

The oil and gas, yes. The Viagra, no.

My husband trained Iraqi troops. He hated them. Said they'd do stupid things and say "Inshallah! (God willing!)" It was an excuse for not thinking/planning.

Someone told me there's a Muslim story about this. Mohammed comes upon a a bedouin sitting but letting his camel roam free. Mo said, "Why you do this?" The bedouin said, "God's will! He will decide whether the camel stays." And Mo says, "God's will! And TIE YOUR CAMEL."

"but at least she didn’t say we had to get to Mars first so we can build an escape-proof jail for Hillary."

I dunno, I kinda like the idea of Space-Empress Clinton...I mean, we all know becoming Preznit is only the *first* step of her nefarious plan!
