So what does this mean for NAFTA?

Battlefield 5. That's about it at the moment.

Of course they are. And this should be front-page news. But there's only so much room the front page these days (and not many papers left), so this will be largely ignored.

So let's say that over the next 20 years the US dollar slowly loses its place as the world's primary currency. What replaces it? Obviously not the Euro since the EU is collapsing slowly. Does anything replace it? China might be rising economically, but they are still very fragile and are artificially propping themselves up.

So what happens if PR declares independence from the US if they are refused statehood? Does a Republican President send in the troops? Obviously a Democrat will want them to be a state.

Remember when the policies of the country were understood to be greater in length than the whims of the current leader?

Yeah sure I'll check it out!

Good. Get arrested and keep going back. If I was an American I'd be protesting too, and campaigning at the grassroots level.

Newsroom was shot up? I wonder why people would be mad at reporters?

Is there a way to make it so that the categories aren't at the beginning of the line, but at the end? Right now it's impossible to scan down the titles and read them because there is so much more clutter going on. Or at least eliminate user-added tags because they add nothing except clutter. I also can't use a dark theme because it hurts my eyes too much.

My new job has me walking around 8,000-10,000 steps per day, along with regular recreation bike rides and activities, so I think I'm in good territory.

Liberals in the US (including all of you) need to wise up to the fact that the rules don't matter any more. The only thing left that matters is winning elections...and even that might not matter soon enough.

What a coward. He was publicly known to have wanted to take on gerrymandering during his time in office, and when he had the chance he punted. The US is so fucked. In 20 years (maybe 10) the Democrats will be winning the popular vote by 15% in the House and will still be losing control. The GOP has given up on civility and conventions, and it's time that the Democrats did the same. At this point there is no point in pretending that any of that actually matters, and Democrats should use every tool they have to play just as dirty as the GOP. Honestly it would actually energize their base. The Democrats have more voters than Republicans, and if they actually acted like a real opposition party then they could hype up their base like the GOP is so good at doing.

As well, Luke had the exact same power level growth in ANH and then again in ESB. In ANH he used a lightsaber once and then was able to divert a torpedo moving a thousands of kilometers per hour at a right-angle with incredible percision. In ESB he jumped through some trees and then was able to almost hold his own against Vader in a lightsaber fight. Star Wars uses The Force as a plot device that lets the characters do whatever they need to, and fans should know that.

Say what you want, but these DSA candidates have good media teams:

@SFLUFAN Maybe at least choose colours that are easier on the eyes? Something like this palette, for example: Something that will not make our eyes burn as much due to the gamut and contrast.

I mean it's great that democrats might win a wave election this time, and possibly hold their seats and win the Presidency in 2020...but are they actually going to do anything with that power? The GOP seems to be effectively tearing down institutions of government and has won SCOTUS for another generation. Unless the Democrats plan to actually pass universal healthcare or a total ban on money in politics (and federal legislation that somehow bans gerrymandering at the state level legally) then America is just as fucked as it is today. The GOP spends its time tearing things down, and the Democrats spend their time holding things together, but not advancing. It should be the opposite where conservatives spend time slowing things down and then liberals advance.

95% of people who see Star Wars movies don't even know who Kathleen Kennedy is, and 90% don't care about the details of movies. In the end it failed because: 1) Less general awareness of the movie 2) Not Harrison Ford and not mainline film in the trilogy 3) Marketing didn't make it look interesting

Can we remove the category labels in the Entertainment board, or at least make them all the same colour? They look abrasive and distracting right now:

Why wouldn't they be paying tariffs? Because he is confident that the trade war will be won before they are implemented? lol.

The reason the North-American model is great is because while you still retain your own culture in private, your kids will move another step closer (or all the way) to the standard culture. So by allowing people to integrate slowly, it actually fosters better integration long-term than by segregating people up front if they refuse too 100% assimilate.

Yes this hurts American workers, but most people in Europe are liberal (relative to Americans) so they will briefly have to pay increased prices until the new facilities are up and running. That is more than enough of a victory to offset the permanent loss of US manufacturing jobs!
