I don’t think the money is the point, it’s the power and influence that the money can afford you that is the really important thing. Sometimes that will involve straightforward bribery, but most of the time it is ‘soft power’, i.e. a way of persuading others to do what you want. Sometimes that’ll be wining and dining them, sometimes it’ll involve a million or two donated to their favourite charity, sometimes it’ll involve a private island and lots of discretion. Often, I would imagine, one would not even need to spend the money, just the fact you could do these things in a way that would cause your target difficulty would be enough to have them do what you want.

Buy two more, or possibly one more, and a jet to move between the ports they opperate out of.

without actually having any policy that differs from republicans in any sort of meaningful way.

For all that the dems really do seem to do their best to alienate the left, I’m fairly sure their policy did not include having barely trained, masked, goons running around American cites executing people at will, kidnapping others, and facing no concequences, and yet, trump was clear that it was what he wanted. I’d call that a meaningful difference.

Minimum order 12! I don’t need 12, I’m fairly sure I don’t even need 1.

Passwords, usernames and access keys are all important, but what about technical knowledge? If you’re the one hosting all of that, it’s presumably because you’re the most knowledgeable about that in your group. Without you, even if they have access, will they know how to keep things running, especially when things go wrong?

That sort of careful analysis of commands reninds me of my kids. “Don’t throw that” BANG CRASH “I didn’t throw it, I dropped it down the stairs”.

Most of them will if you’re fast enough with a welder.

Are you refering to the Ping Pong tournament that he ran in the Quảng Ninh province of Vietnam? I heard that, after the tournament had finished, he thought it would be nice, in the spirit of friendship, if each team sang the national anthem of another. Well, needless to say, this caused a bit of tension, and many lyrics were, accidentally or not, mangled. This lead to tempers flaring, quite a bit of shouting, and, I’m sorry to say, the tension spilled over and a fight broke out between the US and Vietnamese teams.

The incident was later refered to as the Dick Bong Hạ Long Ping Pong Sing Song Ding Dong.

Only because it’s frozen solid!

Complete BS.

Finally answering the age old question once and for all.

I wasn’t sure how many /s’s to put. I counted at least three reasons, but decided one would stand for all.

Being Cuban in the presence of ICE is obviously suicide. He should have just been American instead.

That whole speech is great, but “You look like a fucking soup sandwich!” has got to be one of the funniest insults I’ve heard in a while. I’m definitely keeping that for the right moment.

So, they’re speaking from experience?

Most of them are multi billionaires, their children will inherit their estates when they pass, and most have more than one child. Which means that, when they do pass, we’ll actually have more billionaires than we do now.

I’m sorry for you Ioss. Was it caused by poor font design?

Barbie was a Sergeant in the US Marine Corps, where she served in Operation Desert Storm and was decorated for actions above and beyond the call of duty. She’s as deadly as she is plastic.
