This has nothing to do with the tariffs; even if those weren’t happening Trump would be selling the trees off to his cronies anyway. It’s a blatantly corrupt kleptocracy.

I’m an All/Top (6 hours) junkie.

For those complaining about Frodo’s rank: it’s not about money. Merry was the son of the Master of Buckland and Pippin was the son of the Thain. They were both next in line for hereditary leadership roles; Frodo was not.

More to the point, how did you not put it together considering that Q and Discord are literally the same character in every other way, too?

That’s why My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is one of the few kids’ shows that doesn’t suck: it’s like TNG for little girls.

Sounds like Trump wants us to achieve the same impact the hard way instead, then.

Meanwhile, Janeway be like:

Janeway: “Photon torpedoes, full spread!”
Tuvok: “Captain, may I remind you that we only have 38 torpedoes left to last us all the way to the Alpha Quadrant?”
Janeway: “Did I fucking stutter?”

Oh good, that saves me from having to tell OP to buy it, digitize it, and upload it to archive.org.

… somebody should probably still do that last bit, though.
