@Tsaukpaetra so you admit that you are attracted to little girls?
Sorry, I forgot to attribute the quote. Pretty sure Trump said that.
@anotherusername said in In other news today...:
Careful, or you might just prompt to come and tell us how old he thinks she looks...
My guesstimate is 29. I'm not known for accurately judging physical appearances.

Was it actually born the first time?
No, they had to remove a tumor so they pulled it out temporarily, removed the tumor, then put it back in. You're not born as long as your umbilical cord is still attached

It counts for negative perception in that you don't do work (which implies research may be a form of work).

@anotherusername said in In other news today...:
On Wednesday, the Senate majority leader threw cold water on some of Trump's plans.
Some of that was predictable. Expecting Congress to support limiting their own terms isn't going to fly, no matter who proposes it. Building the wall is almost certainly his most controversial proposal; no surprise that there is support for improved border security but not necessarily for the wall. His infrastructure proposal, at least so far, is pretty vague, so "not a top priority" sounds about right to me.

@anotherusername said in In other news today...:
Well, there it is:
Since the republican controlled both the Senate and the House, I think the insane idea of requesting Mexico to pay for a wall between US and Mexican border will happen.
Dunno how will Mexico response the request.
And btw, reading the list, the forth idea (a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service) is actually a nice one that should happen. Just doubt that even the republican representative would be willing to support that.

Not bad actually. Lets hope he sticks to his plan.

He should ask us. We have some experience with such walls.

Yeah, some of those suggestions are surprisingly sane.

@Yamikuronue I agree, there are several that I can get behind, the 5 year ban, term limits, restrictions on lobbying. All things that I would love to see, so none of them will happen :(

Oh, a wall at your country that demands another country to pay for it? I don't know that.

I don't think so.
The reason to have war to an adjacent country is to invade the country for their territories, and that includes capturing their people.
The wall is made to block illegal immigrants from Mexico. Unless he meant to kill all the people there, such war doesn't make sense.
Or it would make sense afterall, because when making Mexico a new state of U.S., they will no longer be illegal immigrants?
-
@Yamikuronue yeah, it's amazing how much saner his ideas sound when the media's no longer trying to filter everything he says through the "Trump is a monster, VOTE FOR CLINTON" lens.
-
@anotherusername It's amazing how much saner his ideas sound now that he's no longer evading giving specifics nor contradicting them from speech to speech.

Well, it was the Soviet's idea and the former GDR had to pay for it (and provide the labour, too), so...

The lobbying limit might require a Constitutional Amendment, though, which would probably doom it.
Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

@Jaloopa I'd vote to have the statue circumcised. The actual David would have been, but Michelangelo's model wasn't.
But if we're going for realism, he should have clothes. It's quite doubtful he ever appeared in public undressed.

Donald Trump on Sunday told his supporters to stop harassing minorities, in his first televised sit-down interview since becoming President-elect.
Said the

So apparently Han Solo and Princess Leia were fucking each other's brains out off-camera...
He was 33 and married; she was 19... doesn't that make him some kind of pedophile according to xoF@? (if we need to discuss this any further in one of the topics, just point me in the right direction...)

Reminds me of when some guy was flipping out because OMG HOW AM I GOING TO TELL MY SON ABOUT SLAVE LEIA YOU RUIN CHILDHOODS!
She said:
To The father who flipped out about it, -"What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?" Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage

@Lorne-Kates Fisher has a history of crushing people's childhoods. Even people older than her. I remember when she started talking about her LSD problem and how her mother (her father was out of the loop because of his own meth issues) called upon a trusted friend to counsel teenaged Carrie about it: Cary Grant, who himself had dropped acid under a doctor's supervision.
-
@da-Doctah Well, and because he had left her mother for Liz Taylor, shortly before Liz dropped him like a live grenade to go after a piece of Dick (Burton).
As for Carrie, her off-key, coked-off-her-ass singing in the Star Wars Holiday Special would surely have ruined mine, if the rest of the SWHS hadn't already done the job before she appeared on camera.
