Exciting! But let's make sure everyone has watched "The Andromeda Strain" before we go bringing it back to Earth. :)
Just someone living in a country due North of the Gulf of Mexico, that's tired of watching their country get destroyed by its own government. The call is coming from inside the house.

Just another dick move from the league leader to silence people that don't bend the knee. Neither NBC nor Seth Meyers have any obligation to answer to him. Trump seems to have forgotten that he's here to serve the people. Not the other way around. Keep that in mind around midterms folks.

It's a real shame that we can't just help someone, for no other reason than they needed help. Not because of what they have in the ground there, or how it benefits "us". I use that term loosely. Who's this poor excuse of an administration planning on shaking down next I wonder?..
