Yes, I've read about it. Still, the fact that they initially went with it is sickening...

  Yeah, its a standard case of Trump making a situation worse by opening his mouth. The argument of "More ships won't help, we need to repair the damaged ports" sounded plausible, it makes sense if true, but then Trump opened his mouth about the poor shipping industry, which is bad appeal to make in any situation involving 3.3 million americans without drinking warrior.

In practice, of course, making the wall see-through will let the smugglers see where the border guards are, ensuring that they launch their contraband in places where it's less likely to be intercepted.  ;D
But they have one-way glass, the stuff that cops use to interrogate the bad hombres. Trump expects his wall to be made from that stuff, but concrete instead of glass.

Police begin a manhunt for a Michigan teen who had a warrant put on them and proceeded to go on the run, after trying to poison an 11 week old baby just for kicks.

If anyone sees her, kindly tell the cops so they can be brought back to justice.

My brother used to live in Fort Wayne.  Not the one in Japan, though.  :P

yeah, well in general Indiana is just like that, if you don't haven't lived here or been related to someone who does/did then most people don't know anywhere here other than Indianapolis. There some funny stuff here and there though, I drove all the way through one side and out the other of Scotland once in ten minutes

I'd heard of Fort Wayne before, but there's another one that people might remember:

There's a small village in this county called Grönland - yep, Greenland. :D And this is southern Sweden, some years we only get a few thin washes of snow in winter, snow that'll melt off in a day or two.

There's a town in Colorado called Nederland. Funnily it is the biggest weed growing community in the area.
There's also a town called America in the Netherlands. Doesn't invade oil rich countries though.

You can drive from Moscow to Berlin in about 4 hours.

Strangely, there's a small island called Europa between Madagascar and South Africa. Uninhabited, though it's as big as around ten square miles. :)

That's so interesting. It's apparently a French territory, and there's an army base there. Apparently also, there were several attempts to have civilians inhabit it, but it always failed due to lack of fresh water. Even animals that were brought and escaped didn't make it. It does mention goats still survive, as did hens for more than a century, but rabbits didn't.

Spanish government seems to believe the best way to make people stop wanting to leave is to assault them. They're going full abusive spouse/parent mode.

I spent some time in Catalonia... I knew it would turn like this...

Before today associate press estimated support for independence to be roughly 42%. They estimate today it might end up being 55-60% if the spanish police keeps assaulting people. Meanwhile the spanish media is doing their damnedest to make the Catalunans the bad guys. Sure, they aren't being saints in all this, but seriously...
