I thought this was up to congress now. Does the Rule of Law no longer apply? If congress likes the treaty, they can ratify it before Trump is coronated.
Anything Trump said, he is just as likely to have also said the opposite, or at least something conflicting. I admire a politician who is not afraid to modify their opinions over the years, but I don't think Trumps comments reflect his actual opinions on fact, just on polls.
I thought the "George Bush Center for Intelligence" could not be beat for irony, until realising it was named after "H.W." - the one smart enough *not* to invade Baghdad.
America will take at least 30 years to build a high speed train from SF to LA, at a cost of $100-300B. China built the high speed train from Shanghai to Beijing (twice the distance from SF to LA) in 3 years, at a cost of $32B.
To be fair, America built the trans-continental railway in a few years for $50 mil, back when they had cheap Chinese labour, and no health and safety or other red tape.
In 1830 President Bustamante outlawed immigration across the Mexico/United States border to Texas. But the flow of illegal immigrants continued. Six years later, Texas seceded from Mexico and slavery was restored. Maybe the Mexicans should have built a wall!
Funny, but a myth. Other continents have wolves, bears, lions... land predators that will tear you apart. Nothing like that in Australia. Here the dangerous predators are all in the oceans - sharks & saltwater crocodiles, and other dangers - box jelly fish and blue-ring octopus. So easily avoided.
Nobody dies from spider-bite since anti-venom was invented. India has 10,000 times as many snake-bite deaths. Yes, ten thousand times. Just beware the dropbears and Southern Hoop Snake.
how there is no other explanation for the velocity discrepancies than dark matter.
Whoever said that? I've read long ago that people were looking for refinements or new theories of gravity to explain the discrepancy.
"Dark matter" is not even a "thing" - it is a placeholder for something unknown. A simple hypothesis. Could you say it is a bit like the cosmological constant?
For a planet like earth, the orbital velocity is much greater than the escape velocity, even at the surface. But galaxies are different. The speed of the milky way relative to the CMB is about the same as its escape velocity from here. So it is very easy for two galaxies to collide at less than their escape velocity. The time-scale is tens of millions of years, at least.
Last time a heard a story like this we got the Segway.
Exactly what I was thinking. The vulture capitalists valued the company at $500 million before any product was released. They believed their own hype, and came out with an overly complicated electric scooter. $100 million R&D so they could put the wheels left & right instead of front & back.

Sadden Hussein was a murderous tyrant, launching two wars of aggression; for oil.
So that makes him twice as bad as the Bush administration? Or equal? Only one of their wars was for oil, perhaps.
She lost because she promised absolutely nothing other than to be not Donald Trump.
Thats not a bad thing. Obama scored a Nobel Prize by not being GWB.
Hasn't Trump said ...

Redundancy?
Me too!
It is not fair to bring that comparison when the financial contexts, times and places then and now are basically incomparable.
Yes, you seem to have correctly taken *my* point. The current US and China contexts are incomparable.

China built the high speed train from Shanghai to Beijing (twice the distance from SF to LA) in 3 years, at a cost of $32B.

My question is, why would a dummy bomb be packed with TNT?
Its not actually a "dummy", but a real bomb with the core removed.
All funny and true ...
except the "first sociopath" part . Come on ... L.B.J., Theodore Roosevelt, probably Kennedy and lots more.
They're not all bad.
I'll be these same people pointed and laughed when Texans said the same thing.
Texas did secede!
In 1830 President Bustamante outlawed immigration across the Mexico/United States border to Texas.
But the flow of illegal immigrants continued. Six years later, Texas seceded from Mexico and slavery was restored.
Maybe the Mexicans should have built a wall!
Of course the whole US back then had a population less than California today.
The working-age male population in the South was worse than decimated.
It turns out that it is easier to secede from the Soviet Union than the United States. The Hotel California can never leave.

Slashdot posting an article on fundamental physics? Must be a slow news day.
The whole island is to far away from the South Pole
Actually, only about a third of Australia is too far north for winter. We call that the tropics.
You just have a parochial definition of winter.
Mexico.
In chess, they are probably both white guys. Bet on the guy from the colder country.
That doubtless explains why most Muslims are not Arabs, and many Arabs are not Muslims.
Arabs are not even a race either. They are a language group, like "Hispanic". Arabs can be white & blue-eyed, black or brown.

I believe it is called "meta-stress", but don't worry about that, or you will hit a singularity and have your head explode.
Prison geo-coordinates don't seem particularly sensitive
They have been overly cautious, ever since the "Secret Nuclear Bunker" had to be relocated.
Maybe they will add an external antennae!
Its the obvious solution to all those idiots who are holding it wrong.

More-so in Rollerball.
It helps when the crowd shouts your name over the corpses of your opponents.
