I was hoping for Willy Wonka there.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

The US owns it but the UK has jurisdiction. It still belongs to us. *mutters* I told Truman we shouldn't let the Brits off the hook so easily after the War, they'd just get all snooty again as soon as they rebuilt a couple of buildings in London.

Thought this was interesting.

One of the suspected Khashoggi killers died in a 'suspicious car accident'.

Seems like the Saudis are trying their hardest to silence them.

Common misconception. Consulates and embassies are not actually sovereign territory of their nations.

Yeah yeah, and the Chinese own half of central London. :lol:

Again? When did we stop? :p

Although, there were those islands we leased to the US, but they will be returned to us...in time...

No idea why they bother. Donnie bends over for them almost as much as he bends over for Putin.

Honestly, there are no good dictators left, they're all amateurs or caricatures. Putin, Duterte, Kim, and now MBS, they could have appeared in a comic book back in the 70s as henchmen of Doctor Doom.

The is a good pub quiz question based on that fact in the UK.

Where is the only sovereign US soil in the UK?

Well on October 9th it was anchored at Gosport. If you don't think the dirt on the admirals shoes are sovereign you should head to the artic and let him know.

Trump and his fans deny it though, mainly cause they're in love with authoritarianism and oppression.

Now, to be fair, america has been kissing KSA's ass for decades before Trump. Trump was the most blatant in helping them deny responsibility, but we've looked the other way on saudi atrocities for decades. We really need to get out of the middle east and its foreign entanglements, because right now we're on the side of some pretty god awful individuals and entities in that region. Saudi Arabia couldn't be more unamerican or nightmarish, yet the US calls them an ally while claiming Iran is the real threat to the world

And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.
