Trump took a jab at Pelosi and added that the US will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a “disproportionate” manner.
President Trump also zinged Pelosi when he said that he does not need to notify Congress if he orders the US to strike back at Iran.

I do believe he’s correct. Wouldn’t it be great if they added that to the impeachment articles? That meme going around “for my next trick I’m going to get the Dems to defend Suliemani” is not quite right. That’s his LAST trick. His NEXT meme will be “I’m going to make all those memes come true”
And there has GOT to be a meme about his funeral vehicle being – a Chevy truck???
Ricky Gervais is hosting the Golden Globes and apparently he’s ripping them all new assholes
If you win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg
“He obviously didn’t kill himself just like Jeffrey Epstein. Shut up. I know he’s your friend, but I don’t care.”

Apple rolled into the TV game with a morning show. Superb drama, yeah. A superb drama about dignity and doing the right thing made by a company that runs sweat shops in China. So, when you say you’re woke but the companies you work for..I mean Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a new streaming service, you’d call your agent, wouldn’t you?”
Tim Cook is in the audience.
In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world and they all have one thing in common: they’re all terrified of Ronan Farrow.
This guy is on his last gig

Tim Cook is gonna kill that company. I know that there is not another Steve Jobs out there, but come on, a checkbox on the LBQWERTY rainbow is not the right person to lead a major corporation.
/Jobs would have kicked him in the backside for introducing the Apple Pen for the iPad.
I think it is a good idea that 800 people are trying to save the planet and arriving all in separate limos to have some veg.
@ AZfederalist:
wouldn’t know. I have an iPad but I never use it.
As for the Pen, I disagreed w/Jobs about that. My husband is nearly disabled with essential tremors and one of those things could help.

“They’re allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to torture and maim our people. They’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people,” the president said. “And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural site? It doesn’t work that way.”

And frankly “The Morning Show” is a pedantic show essentially about Matt Lauer. I watched but don’t think I’ll be back for a second season.

how about China?
Because it turns out the entire Suleimani family is hooked up tight with the CCP. Half of them live in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing
The Kunlun Bank is a creation of the Suleimani family and the CCP so China could launder the money and evade U.S. sanctions. Officially, it’s controlled by China National Petroleum Corp.
It’s not a big secret, it’s out there if you know to look for it. I just never knew to look for it.
https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/436652/China-s-Bank-of-Kunlun-starts-operation-in-Iran
This doesn’t mention ties to the Suleimani family, but I know a bit about how Iran works and so do people who are kind enough to indulge me with their background info.
As good as Gervais may have been, he’ll NEVER top Paddy Chayefsky’s ass-kicking of Palestinian embracing Vanessa Redgrave in 1977.

(in case you’d like to relive it; more than interesting is that he didn’t even have to finish the first sentence before the audience realized where he was going and applauded their approval of his sentiments).
Meanwhile, last night we get a piece of crap actress that believes it was worth it to kill her unborn baby to get her career moving to get herself that worthless statue.
By the way, I do notice that it is NOT the conservatives in Hollywood that feel the need to push their agenda in an inappropriate venue. They push it at every awards show, the half-time show at the Super Bowl and everywhere else they know that they will never be called out for it.
I see that Krapperdick has once again tried to make it all about him and claims our military are terrorists. I imagine if Nike keeps this walking turd on their payroll, they are going to find themselves a niche market. What I’d sincerely like to see is someone like Tiger Woods tell them if Krapperdick continues as the face of Nike, he’ll need to break his contract. And believe me, Tiger sells FAR more Nike golf gear, apparrel and hats than that jerk’s tennis shoes ever will.
@ The Barbarian:
Did Chayevsky pop out with that the same nite or was it the next year?
I hope one day Michelle Williams’ kids ask her if she would have aborted them for a good script.
Going thru the Daily Mail fashion review – almost every one of them is aggressively ugly. If the hair isn’t scraggly, it’s pulled back so tightly they may as well be bald. The dresses are cartoonish, not elegant and I’m sorry, I’ve seen so much exposed body parts that they now evoke nothing but thoughts of biological function. The eroticism, beauty is erased. And seeing Rita Wilson in her before/after make up pics – they don’t have great skin, that stuff is going on with a trowel.
hunh. FWIW
Soleimani’s daughter is a US citizen? I dunno.

I guess it depends on who her mother is.
Ah, my Mia is learning! She ran upstairs w/o the toy. Bring it! Ran back down, picked it up and brought it right to me. No hesitation, no nothing. Knew exactly what to do. She just turned 2. Not bad for a beagle, a breed that has the discipline of a goat in heat.
Could this hurt Tesla? And a lot of others, I suppose?
The Bur. Industry & Security has just banned export of software (except to Canada) of software that automates analysis of geospatial imagery. As I read it, that covers neural network training
