#DearNonNatives happened yesterday. Signal boost this and support! This hashtag needs more traction.
The real Americans Even though this was 2015, it’s worth reposting.
It’s the Putin right that counts The silver lining to Trump’s election is that he is happy to talk to Putin. The fact that the two guys who control 93 per cent of the world’s nukes are on speaking terms is a good thing. I actually find myself agreeing with Trump’s statements on better US–Russia relations. From 2015, here is what the US, NATO and the military–industrial complex have been doing, and they have added troops and weapons since. What the west did in the Ukraine is a matter of record. The more you look at this situation, the more you can understand why Putin acts the way he does.
Paul miscalculates his road block Not much of Paul’s Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse left after this, from the opening of ‘Drift’, aired October 6, 2016.
Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr John Trump at MIT—good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart. You know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world. It’s true! But when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know, I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Cobra 11 ret-conned Erdoğan Atalay as Semir Gerkhan in the flashback scene to 1996 in ‘Cobra, übernehmen Sie’, aired April 7, 2016. Problem: he didn’t have a beard in 1996, nor did he have this jacket. He wasn’t driving a silver BMW 3er with the registration NE-DR 8231 till years later. And he called for ‘Andrea’ on the radio, when Andrea wasn’t even working there—it was Regina in season 1. Finally, he was based in Berlin, not Köln. Not the only example of ret-conning in Cobra 11, but probably the most serious in 20 years.
How much screen chemistry do these two have? When you’ve been a screen couple since the late 1990s, I imagine they have become quite comfortable with each other as actors. From ‘Cobra, übernehmen Sie’, aired April 7, 2016.
After landing your BMW Sechser Someone’s very impressed with Paul. From the opening stunt in ‘Cobra, übernehmen Sie’, aired April 7, 2016.
Harrison Ford | Elle (January 2016)
I love this interview more than life itself
Ford, every stream Harrison Ford opens up—a fun interview.
Bastards Who hasn’t Fiat slept with? I see it has a new bastard with Mitsubishi, to add to the children sired with Ford (500), Peugeot (Qubo), GM (Grande Punto, Doblò), and Mazda (124 Spider). I’m not even counting the Chrysler-sourced models.
