This is so unflattering and insulting to Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.

Harkonnen is a bastard, but he was manipulated into the war on Arrakis. Trump just does it because he’s a bastard.

Yeah, the Baron was terrifyingly clever.

Compared to Trump, we all are.

Does it really count as a deal when USA is controlling Venezuela's money and operations?

It's theft but they can't say that, ofc.

I had a showerthought this morning in which I fantasized that Carney had a press conference where he just walks up to the podium, grabs the mike, looks directly at the camera and says:

THE FORMS OF KANLY WILL BE OBEYED

Thank you.

... and then he walks off. No questions.

I totally get your hilarious and accurate reference but if you could explain it for my less-cultured friend here... Please?

It's a line from the 1980's David Lynch adaptation of Dune

Weren't they stealing Venezuela's gold? Because if that's true, this is not a deal.

Looks like a pig wallowing in shit

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago

Pigs are intelligent mammals.

No resemblance whatsoever.
