  4. We are apparently planing on going after more tankers. Earlier story from the WSJ The move came just hours after Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado left the country on a boat, an escape that potentially gave the Trump administration an opening to take more aggressive action against the Maduro regime. “As you probably know, we’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela—a large tanker, very large. The largest one ever seized, actually,” Trump said during an event at the White House on Wednesday afternoon. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Coast Guard executed a seizure warrant for the tanker with support from the Defense Department. In a video she posted on social media, uniformed men can be seen fast-roping onto the ship from helicopters and entering the bridge with guns raised. “For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,” Bondi wrote on social media. The vessel had been used to transport “sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran,” she said. A Pentagon official said the move was a warning to other tankers waiting to dock and load up Venezuelan crude. Maritime tracking data shows around a dozen off the Venezuelan coast, but the official said others have their Automatic Identification System turned off to avoid detection. The U.S. has sanctions in place that prohibit companies from trading Venezuelan oil, though it has given exemptions to some companies, including Chevron, which this summer received a narrowed license to operate in the country. Trump has warned that he will level hefty tariffs on countries that buy oil from Caracas. Asked about the seizure at the White House, Trump joked that journalists should follow the tanker with a helicopter and said he assumed the U.S. would keep the oil. He also said that information about the ship’s owner would be forthcoming. Brokers in Singapore told The Wall Street Journal that a tanker called the Skipper was the vessel seized off Venezuela. The tanker, formerly called the Adisa, had been sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control for carrying Iranian crude
  5. We are definitely going to invade Venezuela. We are already boarding their tankers.
  6. Were they nude?
  7. We're really going to do it. We are just over a week out from the Epstein Files, and the Ghislaine Maxwell judge has ordered documents in her case relating to Epstein to be released as well.
  8. These are the same people that were claiming Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks were trafficking young kids for their fluids so that they could stay young even though Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks both look like they’re in their 70s and 60s. They are not the brightest people. They would’ve been better off picking Paul Rudd as their poster boy for not aging
  9. That never happens in real life.
  10. Trump won by 12, Dems flipped it. State House election, but still, interesting.
  11. I’m enjoying seeing him decline both at his rally and in his social media posts. The fact that he’s telling all of us that for some reason he’s having to take cognitive tests with rooms full of doctors is awesome. It’s gonna be fun to see how MAGA handles his decline.
  12. Now the Richie Rich series on Netflix had an actual robot maid, as befitting the comics. should be right at her intro
  13. As a kid, I had lots of thoughts of what robots could be used for based on this show. And I always liked to think of it as what kicked off Battlestar Galactica. As an adult, it’s creepy as fuck when you realize the age of the son. And then The Family Guy went there.
  14. Ughh..only 55. Knew this was coming, my wife liked her books. https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/books/2025/12/10/sophie-kinsella-dead-confessions-of-a-shopaholic-author/74013655007/ Sophie Kinsella, the USA TODAY bestselling English rom-com author of the "Shopaholic" series, has died. She was 55. Kinsella's family announced her death in a post to Instagram Dec. 10: "We are heartbroken to announce the passing this morning of our beloved Sophie (aka Maddy, aka Mummy). She died peacefully, with her final days filled with her true loves: family and music and warmth and Christmas and joy ….. Kinsella announced in April 2024 that she had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of aggressive brain cancer, at the end of 2022. She said she had undergone a "successful" surgery and continued to receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the University College Hospital in London.
  15. Getting Lee Pace was the best thing they did. I’m still shocked that we got as many seasons as we did,
  16. I hope you all watched The Offer on Paramount, about making The Godfather.
  17. He’s fucking terrified of The NY Times for some reason. Really terrified. He’s trying to get somebody to do something about them. Wonder what they know and if they’ll wait to share it until he’s out of office.
  18. Yes. Along with Reddit, YouTube, etc.
  19. Going to kill off a lot of tourism, hurt the airlines, hurt all kinds of businesses.
  20. The fact that we are still guessing and debating it this late in the season is pretty good writing.
