Things not going well in Venezuela
Pretty sure Trump thinks everyone in business a) puts up other people's money and b) extracts a management or license fee to make money.

Well, he's making it like he didn't want to leave but we forced him.

And, we already had a lot of presence in Panama, militarily, and soft power. Hell, we practically installed Noriega.

Well, all that said. being recruited over, with or without the money, definitely sends a signal. I think the money commitment makes that signal even worse. The investment in the player recruited over you makes it more likely they get snaps regardless of merit. I'm glad this crap didn't come along until I was older, more cynical, and less inclined to give a shit. When I was a student and for some years after, I saw these guys as a lot like me and my fellow students (hello fellow kids!).

I don't know that you can make pronouncements about democracy in either Iraq or Venezuela. The problem is, the guy who did it. He never does anything that doesn't benefit him as directly as possible. Exactly what his precise motives here are unknown, but you can count on some form of self-dealing. And you're correct that anything in the aftermath the Trump administration can fuck up it will, and to a fare-the-well. There aren't any democracy believers in the administration, certainly not Trump. We've done this before with varying combinations of democracy belief and corruption, that is better men and worse. It's always ended up corrupt. Even and especially if we get a friendly corrupt administration. It's going to throw the doors wide for our enemies. If Venezuela lands on democracy, it will be an amazing accident of historical proportions.

Unless he was having his scholarship revoked, it was all in his control. Take what's offered compete for playing time, prove em wrong on both counts. Or bounce. Your call.

Stop and think about it. You were in Iraq. Saddam was a bad guy, sure. Are Iraqis better off? Is the world? Saddam is gone, that's about all you can say. Life in Iraq for most Iraqis still sucks. Who "won" in that one?

Especially when this is just another abuse of executive power.

Pretty sure lil Marco likes this. He wants to take Cuba. Because of course he does.

Look twice at what? Invading more neighbors?

Head of State and violation of territorial sovereignty to arrest him kind of removes all the other precedents from applicability.

Yep. Same with about any frozen fried food.

Noriega is the only precedent, not one of many. And whether it is domestically "legal" doesn't answer the question of its legality under international law.

Air Fryers
No. They're fucking great for pre-fried mostly junk food. Slightly healthier than actual deep frying (cuz the shit's already been deep fried). Less so for attempting fried food from scratch. You can achieve browning on things that have their own fat (chicken skin), but otherwise need to apply oil, and that can be hit or miss.
