This is an interesting thing, in a sort of eyebrow raising not-neccesarily-suspicious way http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/361054-russian-oligarch-docks-yacht-in-palm-beach-ahead-of-trump-visit

The boat is docking days before he goes to Mar-a-Lago for Thanksgiving and if the Russian scandals weren't going around, nobody would probably pay much attention to it. Sheer coincidence or something elsewhere? You decide.

I think it's just coincidence, but with Trump in Mar-a-Lago, it'll be difficult to hide any sort of meeting between Trump and Russian oligarch Roman Abramovitch.

Do they generally have rich Russian vacationers there? If so, do other resorts in the area also have rich Russian vacationers at a comparable rate?

If both of these are yes, it is a coincidence. Since I doubt it is possible to obtain this data without an impractical amount of cooperation from multiple resorts, I vote that we all consider it a proven conspiracy to level all of Florida's minority neighborhoods to make way for a golf course.

It's the grand old American tradition of fuck the natives because we don't care about them. Sometimes I really hate America.

I really wish I was anywhere close enough to have tried to help materially...

It's a pretty minor spill though. For comparison the deepwater horizon spill released 210 million gallons of oil. The spill also occurred on land, which will severely reduce environmental impact.

It occurred underground, which means potential groundwater contamination. This is used for drinking water and irrigation, and could pollute local waterways.

Just ‘cause it’s not as bad as the worst related thing that ever happened, doesn’t mean it’s not a big deal.

You don't get to use one of the most extreme oil spills in history to downplay this. The environmental impact of this spill will be felt for years to come, especially if it contaminated groundwater.

Let alone that horribly abused activists knew better than the government, again, and were brutalized into silence, again.

I am very proud to be a natural born citizen of the greatest nation on earth, militarily and in sheer wealth, The united states of america.  As a veteran myself i will always support my nation and especially my president, president Trump.

Do you support other, non-Trump presidents?

Trump has always been and will always be president. We have also always been at war with East Asia.

I now have a sudden urge to Photoshop Trump's face onto other presidents. Let's see what the internet has.

I'm just letting it be known that not all dwarf fortress players are liberals. Love the game, love toady one and the incredible work of the modders.

Hopefully I'll get a new pc so I can ennoy the upcoming update.

We already knew that, though. I don’t think playing DF is particularly corellated with liberalism.

I’m also sure you could’ve done it without the nativist patriotism, but eh, I’m more bothered that it appears you’re ignoring your country’s history there.
