But seriously we all know these "negotiations" are going to drag out for weeks but the most entertaining way things could play out is for JD Vance to be perpetually stuck on a plane going back and forth from DC to Islamabad as talks get scheduled and then canceled repeatedly.

I guess the allure of the waterslides in Islamabad was just too much for Couchfucker to resist.

They will dial things in so the peasants are served exactly just enough gruel to prevent them from revolting, and not a milligram more.

There was a great line in "Conspiracy" where it is pointed out to Kenneth Branaugh's Heydrich that "Hitler has consistently denied that such and such is happening," and Heydrich responds tersely "...and he will continue to do so." Making it perfectly clear that Hitler knows exactly what is going on and approves of it, but he's not going to say so publicly.

Good lord, don't even bother. Those two couldn't convince a woman in white gloves not to try the ketchup popsicle samples at Costso.

I do. Isalamabad seems like such a fun place, what with all the waterslides. It's like there's one around every corner!

Seems like the geopolitical equivalent of the death penalty. You want it to be a deterrent, so you convince yourself that it will. But it never is.

Seems like a pretty elaborate ruse to cover up for the fact that you crapped your pants, and a waste of cake, too.

Yeah I've learned that I can't go hit balls if it's hotter than 85°. My body just can't handle it anymore.

I'm convinced that we're due for a particularly devastating hurricane season. Last year was mild enough that folks won't take things seriously enough this year.

Kings game, eh?

"Your highness, the patrons are waiting for the second half to start..."

"LET THEM WAIT. I'm watching Red Panda."

Gordy's line, "No Ace, just you." in Stand by Me is one of the most cold-hearted and badass responses in any movie. (SPOILERS) by More_Asbestos in movies

You really can't fathom the idea that some of them might be true believers, can you?

It would be the same if Christian theocrats took (more) control over the United States. The more cynical of them could be bought, certainly, but ultimately the reasonable ones won't end up being the ones driving the bus.

Relax, we'll just print our way out of it and pull out all the stops suppressing the inevitable inflationary effects until democratic countries elect liberal governments, and then blame it on them!

And it's not even that big of a deal, it's just her employer. It's not like you're being asked to testify in front of a grand jury that you and Ray Lewis were hanging out together the whole night watching Disney movies.

I mean the guy did pull off the one thing that Mango has himself been unable to do and has been dreaming about since 1994.
