OK, I mean I’m never going back.
But do I at least get my money back? My American citizenship was by far the most expensive and time-consuming of all my citizenships.

Seymour is correct that people need to know what things are and I salute him for repeatedly making it clear what he is.

So these dipshits won't fund a *pair* of ferry terminals that'd get used several times a day, but will fund an LNG terminal that *might* get used once in a blue moon?
One terminal, for the same price as two, and with zero (0) ferries?

Host: But it was 2 Americans who died—
Trump: We have the smallest trucks. We've been very tough on the waters
Host: The waters?
Trump: The waters where we knock out boats

A true master at his craft! I don’t know how anyone could watch this and not be moved by both Shakespeare & Sir Ian’s incredible talent! 😍
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
