TopicBREAKING: Trump Organization planned to give Putin $50m condo

Manocheese posted...
Two US law enforcement officials told BuzzFeed News that Michael Cohen, Trumps personal lawyer at the time, discussed the idea with a representative of Dmitry Peskov, Putins press secretary.


Even for a rag like BuzzFeed, it's a pretty big reach to go from "A guy who worked for Trump and a guy who worked for a guy who worked for Putin talked about possibly doing X" to "Trump planned to do X!"


Is it, though? We live in the age of unfounded speculation. And no conspiracy is too ridiculous that the #NeverTrumpers won't eat it up.

While the definition of "a lot" may vary, afaik the majority of schools don't give the whole week. Usually it's a half-day Wednesday then they're off the rest of the week, which makes sense because Thursday is a holiday and then it's really just the Friday besides that.

Sucks how much Trump has ruined this country


I love this ends in blaming an unrelated third-party. The owner made the decision to ask somebody to leave, it's 100% on him. If it was conservative asking a liberal to leave, you'd get basically the same reaction -- perhaps even a bit louder -- so it's not even really a matter of one side acting all that different, although liberals are probably more likely to ask somebody to leave than conservatives. The problem with the political climate is on each person who, upon seeing the state of discourse, decides to contribute to its toxicity.

I still find it fascinating that ten years ago Barrack Obama was running on a campaign of restoring bipartisanship and cooperation to government and he was widely lauded for it.

Can you imagine any politician, of either party, running a campaign today on the idea of cooperating with the other party? They'd be flayed alive.

The real problem is that people talk about bi-partisanship all the time, but most of those people don't mean "Hey, let's meet somewhere in the middle", what they really mean is that "The other side should change their stance to be more like the side I already agree with." Everyone wants the take, but no one wants to give.

Sadly, that's a somewhat unavoidable outcome when you've got a two-party system, and media and Internet help polarize both sides to extremes.


This, tbh. Even Trump was talking about wanting to work with Democrats. More importantly, it's also often an insincere offer that gives politicians the chance to say, "Hey, I was willing to cooperate! It's really the other guys' fault!"

For instance, none of the countries in South America are considered first world, but a majority of Soth American nations rank much higher on the HDI than the average African nation.


Most South American nations got their independence over 100 years before most African nations did. Prior to European contact, most were still living traditional indigenous lifestyles. Many parts of Africa were not colonized until after the 1870s as well, so basically any way you put it, African nations are simply newer and have had less time to develop.


The problem with that argument -- and it's a pretty fucking big one -- is that Africa had access to contact with Europe from a far earlier age and that's in addition to sub-Saharan Africa not developing much on its own. South America had no access to (or even knowledge of) Europe until what, like the 1500s at the earliest when European explorers started to head down that way? That's not to suggest that sub-Saharan Africa had ready access to Europe, but they had advantages in that arena which South America did not.

Those "excuses" are pretty easily backed up.


Except they're really not. Prior to colonialization, it's not like sub-Saharan Africa had thriving, advanced civilizations. Pre-colonized sub-Saharan Africa had less going for it than post-colonized sub-Saharan Africa. Colonization, for all of its immense problems, was the first time that many of those nations began to truly modernize.

It's almost like you're deliberately writing off the thousands of years prior to colonization when nothing was really happening with the area which, not so coincidentally, made the area easier to conquer because it was able less able to resist hostile nations.

I am 99% sure the TC is a NMB alt. He has been registered since 2015, but only has 119 karma and one active post.

Also, look at the TC's post history and you will see some very very similar threads as to what NMB has created as well.

The TC created a thread one month ago called, "It's easy to forget that the people behind 7up made a video game." That's too similar to be a coincidence to NMB's thread called, "It's easy to forget that the people behind A&W have a restaurant."

Two months ago, the TC created a thread called, "My mom got me the wrong kind of Fruity Pebbles."

Three months ago, the TC created a thread called, "I don't think I will ever understand why people like Cheerios over Lucky Charms." That sounds like another NMB thread.

If the TC isn't a NMB alt, I would be very surprised. The similarities are too much to be a coincidence.

You'd probably be prouder to know that there are only two other games on the horizon that I'm paying attention to at all, and one of them is the Spider-Man game.


tbh, I would be really hyped for the next Spidey game but I still haven't played the last few. Dimensions is still shrinkwrapped where I left it after buying it at a Black Friday sale. (Also haven't played Ultimate -- started it, then realized I should really read the comics first... and then bought a CD containing the comic run (presumably pirated) but never got around to checking it out. This is despite liking what little I had read of Ultimate Spidey in the past.) The last Spidey game I *think* I played -- not counting demos -- was Spider-Man 2 for the ps2.

I'm generally behind on everything, due to a mix of adulting, prioritizing (or not prioritizing) my media consumption, and then just getting sidetracked. That and I still need to fix that problem with one of my laptops.

Because they could sustain a reasonable standard of life within the region without needing to change their environment to suit them? Plus much of the region was too far isolated to benefit from trade (the North African Arab nations, however, did have periods of prosperity when they were major world players). And, of course, there are cultural issues.

That said, *some* of the previously colonized areas were built up -- like South Africa -- so in theory they should be better off, but it's an absurdly dangerous country.
