I really like Ukraine’s “tactical” sanctions applied directly to Russian refineries and fuel depots and wish we’d support more of that. I hope this does something more than taking over shadow tankers and sending the oil to American refineries. I doubt we do much with China.
If towns are falling and we are seeing officials being openly assassinated, and seeing police joining protestors, and protests are happening during the day, I have no doubt that shit is edging closer to a tipping point. It's helped that this is being driven by economics, which is a far better motivator than somebody being told to wear a headscarf.
Conspiracy theorists think some Russian superweapons were on board. If there were, they would have been escorted by Russian naval ships from the start, even if it was just a submarine shadowing it.
Going to tell private companies what they can do with revenue and how much they can pay their executives, and going to tell Congress that they don't have a say in how much is spent.
Hey guys, I’m going to win the lottery. I know what you’re thinking, that I need to at least buy a lottery ticket first, but that’s just a minor detail I’ll take care of down the road.
And we continue to be played by the Russians, and I’m beginning to think that the oil Trump claims Venezuela is giving us, is in fact just confiscated tankers
You can be disappointed, and it can piss you off - Burt Reynolds was a nice guy as far as almost everybody is concerned, but he was unhappy (when he was dating her) that Sally Field was finding critical acclaim while he was pigeon-holed into Smokey and the Bandit-style roles even though his movies were ruling the box office. He had every right to be bitter after he didn't get a lot of dramatic roles after Deliverance (and he was probably pissed that Voight got more attention out of Deliverance than he did) - his career would have been far different had he at least received some decent nominations with Deliverance. But he still kept it together, went to television when it seemed the right thing to do, and most people he worked with genuinely liked him.
