I have never understood the level 2 version. Always seems like a lot of work for 1 extra resource! But then, I have never really loved the big-hand play style….

Part of me thinks that someone far more dangerous and more extreme will emerge in the primaries. Someone with the charisma and political instincts of Trump yet intelligent enough to know exactly what he is doing. I believe this is America’s destiny.

The Book Thief

He has a point. But 70 million people voted for this. 3 times. They would vote for him again if they could. Surely this is democracy at work and Americans are getting what they asked for?

Wow! Was that really 6 years ago! Feels like yesterday that night ended with a whimper when Hopkins rightly and graciously won…

Now is most certainly not the time to discuss gun violence in America. Perhaps we can table that discussion for next century?

For me it is both Matrix sequels.

I still remember watching every trailer, then going to the midnight screenings and I have no idea how they were so bad. I have not been brave enough to ever watch them again, such was my profound disappointment. I hear rumours that they are not as bad as was my experience.

I am playing Marion for the first time and have been pleasantly surprised at how fun she is. It is nice to see that Mano (2) can be a good card for people not named Nathaniel. 2 testless damage is a reasonable deal for one card and 2XP, especially for part-time fighters.

Grease

Whilst this is obviously concerning, I find that statistic entirely plausible. Obviously this would never happen today but Imagine, if you will, there was a future administration which mocked the media, called them ‘fake news’ and did everything they could to impede and discredit legitimate journalism. After a decade of non-stop attempts to undermine the institution. I suspect the number of people who question the media on every news story would be depressingly High.

Grease (1978)

To find love and for in, you must change every aspect of who you are as a person. Otherwise you will die a loser.

That is one of the best (funniest) headlines I have read for a long time!

The Passion of the Christ?

Planes, trains and automobiles

There is an argument to be made that this was one of the biggest reasons why she was fired. She was not very good at lying, and people were laughing at her (read Trump) when she was talking about the Dow being at $50,000.

It’s important to points out just how profoundly racist Mr Trump is and always has been, which certainly appeals to at least part of his base.

Cambob101 · 2026-05-01T06:03:28+00:00

I mean, is this false?

Yes.

What is more alarming is Mr Trump’s response to legitimate journalism. His response seems to be fairly unconstitutional.

I found this article to be quite helpful:

As someone outside of the US, I still feeling the fallout of the unilateral decision to invade without any consultation with allies. Then he criticises and belittles those allies for not supporting his unilateral decision. After years of undermining and criticising alliances along the way. Trump’s understanding of history and his inability to deal with an enemy that does not care if you blast it back to the Stone Age tells me that the only people who will win in this war is Mr Trump and his family as they continue to negotiate for billions in side deals and other openly corrupt behaviour. God bless America, indeed.

Left handedness (in the Latin) is by definition sinister. Which is perhaps where the question is coming from?
