Roaming Charges: There’s a Tear in My Beer
Let’s not get too carried away with high-minded talk about the sanctity of the Supremes. It’s nearly impossible for the sniveling brute Brett Kavanaugh to leave too much of a stain on the same Court that has decided Dred Scott, Plessy, the pro-eugenics ruling in Buck v.

However, the tables may be turning: Water itself now poses a risk to the already failing financial model of the American fracking industry, and that is something the industry won’t be able to ignore..

I-is turkey anti-imperialist now?

Turks are /ourguy/ now, hope they invade R*java and liberate the kurds.

What does Erdogan have to gain from Venezuela?
