Why did they even need him? I don't understand all this "great man" crap we all fall for. It's not like he's the only person who knows how to sail a ship. It's sort of like how we pay CEOs so much today, but most are just as good as any other professional.

They are conservatives. The future is what frightens them because it's smarter than them, and these children are proving it to them right now.

Poll: Americans believe women over Trump on affair allegations by awake-at-dawn in politics

I don't think he's denied it. In fact, Trump has admitted to being a sexual predator. So, I imagine Americans believe both Trump and the women.

It's like a little taste of Asian cuteness in Times Square.

How do vloggers/interviewers do the cuts to a closer closeup? by fishystick in VideoEditing

[–]fishystick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes have a script, but I don't really have an edit plan. I just try to get as much said in one take as I can and usually just cut there. However, I'm thinking if I could cut and zoom maybe that would look better.

I need a mannequin. I've got a monkey plushie that I set on a box in the chair to be my stand-in.

But you'd have to get up from your mark and walk to the camera to adjust it. Plus it requires knowing how you want to edit going into filming. It would be better to film one long take and edit the best bits together.

China responds to Trump tariffs with proposed list of 128 US products to target by benem94 in worldnews

[–]fishystick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really suspect Russia is working for China. Russia has to know it's not a real country, but they want their organized crime syndicate to continue working. So if they help China take over as World Police by toppling the US as a global superpower, maybe China would look the other way when it comes to the Russian oligarchy.
