Sure it is. Totally okay to be white. But it's a pointless white nationalist meme so let's stop repeating it.
It's usually posted in response to people pointing out that white nationalism is bad, even though it's NOT okay to want to establish a white ethnostate. And "most" is clearly not enough when there is open white nationalism on mainstream news channels (Fox).
Oh noes, people who want equality for people of different races and recognition of different gender identities!? TEH HORROR! And don't get me started on Antifa, who have killed...wait, infinity times less people than right-wing terrorists? Is this right?
He honestly believes he's at least the smartest person alive, if not the smartest person to ever live:
“And I thought that was so brilliant. I said, “Oh, I am so smart. I am the smartest person.” My uncle was a great professor at MIT for 40 years. Can you believe? Forty years. I said, “But I’m smarter than him. I’m smarter than anybody.”
If he were only senile it'd be an improvement. He's an immature manchild, a dysfunctional psychopath (most politicians are either non-psychopaths or functional psychopaths), and a pathological liar (Evidence: he could not stop lying in a simulated scenario in which he was asked not to lie for the purpose of proving that he could avoid lying).
He may or may not be senile but that's the icing on the towering wedding cake of his mental problems.
I'm not so sure. The main thing to fear from Pence is open war against the LGBT community and women. Trump's doing a decent job at those on his own. In other areas, I don't expect Pence would be remarkably bad by Republican standards. He won't pointlessly start trade wars or hilariously fuck up foreign policy (including being Russia's and Saudia Arabia's bitch) or consider bombing/invading countries on a whim.
Pence would probably be like a homophobic/chauvinistic Bush Jr. minus Cheney/Rove pounding the war drums (I think he could ignore John "Ares" Bolton), which doesn't sound so bad compared to the status quo.
Trump cannot be impeached while sycophantic loyalists make up a majority in the Senate. The US will just have to live with an openly criminal president for 2019-2020. There are massive bombshells in the Mueller report and in Trump's tax returns, the only question is whether they'll see the light of day, or if a loyalist will prevent their release.
Only if you weren't paying attention. About a third of the US population has been "deplorable" for a long time. After WW2, a newspaper poll found that 1/3 of Americans wanted to genocide the Japanese.
Trump came along at exactly the right time for a deplorable shitstain to take power - the electoral playing field had been tilted heavily in Republicans' favor, he had a historically unpopular opponent to defeat who was also being targeted by a foreign interference campaign, the deplorables were absolutely fuming after 8 years of a black President, and finally the straw that broke the camel's back, an October surprise that took his opponent down a peg.
Combined, it was just enough for the deplorables to squeak through an electoral victory with a popular vote loss. It was only a matter of time before coddling these hate-filled garbage people would bite America in the ass, and the clock finally ran out.
The Democrats didn't take enough Senate seats for impeachment to happen, unfortunately. The Republicans are too blindly and fiercely loyal to Trump to let him be impeached no matter what the Mueller report contains. Videos of their own children being personally raped by Trump wouldn't do it, he'd have to do this in front of their eyes.
The US has only once before come anywhere near this close to a backslide to dictatorship, and that was under the Hamilton administration.
Why should he be frustrated? He's the one who facilitated the Trumpification of the Republican party. He didn't have to, he could've stopped it instead, although at the cost of the overall power of the right. He's the Trump era's Paul von Hindenburg.
Among the airlines in the survey, Ryanair is the worst offender by far, Emirates and Virgin Atlantic are also splitting up families more than average. The lowest were TUI and Flybe.
Name and shame the airlines doing this so that I, and other people who prefer not to support psychopathic greedmonster ratfuckery, can avoid giving them my money by accident. Next, the airlines practicing this nonsense will naturally suffer increased incidence of air rage. Hopefully these forces can work together to pressure airlines to stop this nonsense.
it's just a shame that the consequences of climate change can't be confined to the countries, or better yet the people. who deny and ignore the problem. Maybe we could convince them all to move to Florida (and the Maldives for non-American denialists?)
Of course the public are interested, especially with 4K televisions, just think of looking at beautiful, awe inspiring 4k footage of the Moon every day, as the astronauts explore more and more of it.
Meh, if you've seen one dusty gray crater you've seen 'em all.
You may be right, but not by as much as you think, because I said a small ship (meaning manned spacecraft), not just an empty ultra-efficient hypothetical rocket. Here's a more relevant ideal scenario estimate at $300m to send a potentially manned ship on an unmanned test landing mission:
You're technically correct (the best kind of correct!) but practically, this way of addressing the problem is criminally inefficient and amounts to nothing but socializing the costs of an incredibly expensive marketing campaign. There were more efficient ways of assuring item uniqueness to a reasonably extensive degree, but they couldn't be summed up with a single buzzword.
Disadvantages: Lack of breathable atmosphere, the water there is vastly more difficult to convert to drinkable form, it gets unlivable levels of space radiation on the surface, and as such there is no edible life ready to be speared or fished there. Also the ground is made of a toxic superfine dust.
And last but not least, It probably costs more to send a small ship to or (theoretically) from Mars than the combined cost of all activity on the North pole throughout human history. Prove me wrong.
The problem is that this "dreaming" about a possibility that requires far-future technological innovations is becoming a dangerous anesthetic numbing us from problems that threaten us in reality. When an implausible dream becomes a dangerous fantasy that meshes well with a popular form of science denialism, a scientist should denounce it.
The possibility of populating other planets has been floated as an alternative to addressing global warming by people ranging from Newt Gingrich to the late Stephen Hawking. This proposed "interstellar plague of locusts" future for humanity is not only morally reprehensible and obviously unsustainable but also practically impossible for the foreseeable future. We are centuries or maybe even millennia away from doing anything closer to "space colonization" than having small groups of people live in tin cans at incredible expense. The fact that a few local resources could be used in the near future is little more than a fun gimmick in the grand scheme of things. A radiation-scorched toxic dustball is hardly more hospitable than the vacuum of space, and can't be any time soon.
We need to get it through our thick skulls that the only planet we can live on anytime soon, maybe ever, is Earth, before we ruin our civilization and possibly even damage this planet's habitability while daydreaming of some murderous hellscape so far away that we'd deplete our planet's resources before we could evacuate even one of the smaller countries to it.
The big difference is that Trump, in this position, would claim to be the most l33t uber-hacker who ever lived, and respond to anyone who disagreed with childish shit-talk.
He knows how to do business things. Sit at desks. Make calls. Write reports. Attend board meetings. Shake hands. Carry briefcases. All the business skills you need for general businessing.

It's more for the education of onlookers to keep the goosesteppery from spreading.
So politics can skew your view of science just by touching it. Exactly as intended, good little useful idiot.

A military sized to occupy a planet is a thing you get for your tax money, whether you personally see any value in it or not.
The big difference is that Trump, in this position, would claim to be the most l33t uber-hacker who ever lived, and respond to anyone who disagreed with childish shit-talk.
