Vlad needs impaling.

The way Melania looks so sad, I think she does.

The last thing putin wants is a NATO actually spending 2 percent of GDP on defense.

You know, that thing I advocate for all the time.

I think Russia is your second favourite country.

 

[Altair]

I think Russia is your second favourite country.

Um, no, that would be Tennessee.

 

[Habsy]

Tennessee is a state.

[Altair]

Tennessee is a state.

No shit.

 

[worm]

Tennessee is a state.

all countries are states

 

[Habsy]

No shit.

Then why answer it's your second favorite country?

 

[Habsy]

all countries are states

All states aren't countries.

 

[Altair]

Then why answer it's your second favorite country?

Second favorite country, a play on my second favorite team, the Nashville Preds.

Since Nashville is in Tennessee, I though it might be funny to obviously incorrectly state that my second favorite country is Tennessee, the state that has my second favorite team.

And whatever slight bit of humor that might have held is now well and truly dead, thank you.

All states aren't countries.

Tennessee whiskey is bad

The hermit king has third world capabilities in a lot of fields, but assassins isn't one of them, they are usually top notch.

This seems somewhat amateurish to be a North Korean job, I would almost start to lean towards a underground hit. Jong-Nam was living the playboy lifestyle, could have run afoul of the wrong people.

 

[SundinsTooth]

Still think it was Ashton Kutcher.

Isn't it time we had a fake news thread?

I mean, we're already in the very fake news era.

 

[anne25]

Not fake news but it's Canada so one could be forgiven in thinking it is.

Justice is served.

Another deep thinker whose brilliant insights are suppressed by "The Man":

Some people just have different views of the world. Count Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Kyrie Irving among those people.

Irving believes the Earth is flat. As in, there's no curvature of the planet. Flat. Like an actual map.

"This is not even a conspiracy theory," Irving said during a "Road Trippin' with RJ & Channing" podcast, with teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye. "The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat.

"It's right in front of our faces. I'm telling you, it's right in front of our faces. They lie to us."

The three were discussing conspiracy theories -- on an airplane -- when Irving brought up the subject to Jefferson and Frye.
