So, the US are definitely the bad guys now? We're fucked then.

Yeah, I think we're the baddies now.  Well, maybe not The Baddies, but we're the adults that don't believe you when you say nice Mr. Russia down the street is trying to kill you.  You just have an active imagination.

a week smoke-free with chantix, and it's been going pretty great. 

Hopefully you won't succumb to nightmares.

the dreams have been okay-to-fun. they're not vivid, but I don't really have mental visualization, which I've suspected for awhile affects things like dreams, the ability to hallucinate, etc.

aggression and cloudy mind is there, as seen from a few posts here--not reading posts before responding but instead jumping to assumptions, etc. otherwise, it's been pretty great and recommend it to quitters who don't have like bipolar, depression, etc.

Somewhere in Trump's America, a pretty brunette is desperately trying to keep safe a mysterious piece of film that depicts Hillary Clinton at her 2nd inauguration and Donald Trump destitute after his failed presidential run in 2016.

US Ambassador to the EU:

Ted Malloch said: "I had in a previous career a diplomatic post where I helped to bring down the Soviet Union, so maybe there's another union that needs a little taming".

We should just declare him a persona non grata and tell Trump to send someone else or just not send anybody.

100% agree. Diplomats need to be given an OK by the country or institution receiving them, and that guy is obviously a jerk.

Declaring your post equivalent to a tyrannical empire is an impressively incompetent first impression for a diplomat. Even, or should I say especially, when your post is in fact a tyrannical empire.

It gets in the way of their dreams of national destiny and autarky.

What I like is it is both tyrannical and drunk with power but somehow also impotent and ineffectual.

Plus that its a neo liberal menace to working people and an overly bureaucratic stifling socialist regime.

Oh yeah, Labour seems like one big happy family.
