The man doesn't take a paycheck but is "using the presidency to enrich himself" by hosting an international summit at his resort.

Advertisement is worth more than any government paycheck he'd receive

Should've known from the start that the optics would be bad, no matter how ya cut it

It's not about cost - it's about advertisement

Can't make it look you're enriching yourself

Gotta help others, before helping yourself to the meal

The Art of the Deal:

Trump should had negotiated all this while still in the position of power before pulling out without discussions

But instead, he lost his leverage and thus could no longer negotiate in the position of power

A League Championship all-important Game 6 and possible elimination game, and yet both teams already confirm it'll be a bullpen game (meaning no starters, all relief pitchers) - due to a quirk of Games #4, 5, 6, and 7 to be played in 4 consecutive days with no rest day in between, since Game #4 was rain-postponed and moved back a day

At least in the West we'll know specifically what spies are accused of doing and how they did it

Doubt we'll know any specifics in this case, if at all

It's CPR

Copped a feel

The Italian people must be so proud

I've said this all before - Huawei is no angel - they supply the technology and expertise for the Chinese government to monitor its citizens - and nobody should expect that tech and expertise to stay within the borders of China - there are many governments in the world who would love to get their hands on those tech and expertise to monitor their citizens too - and Huawei would be more than happy to sell their products

It's the Chinese version of the Google "Do No Evil"

Not long ago, got a photo with him at a convention. Was just slacking around in the VIP lounge when he happened to pass by from the Guest lounge. He's pretty accommodating, lol

Lol, William Shatner is a fan of "Love Live" and even has a favorite girl, Umi

Fans should not stand idly by - fans should police themselves and ostracize the bad eggs

When hooligans start their shenanigans, the mass of fans should tell them to shut up and get out

When hooligans realize they don't have the backing of fans, they'll think twice about stepping inside the stadium

RIP. Gotta be strong if ya wanna take on the establishment

Why would an anime have the contested demarcation line in the movie anyway?

*"Abominable", about a Chinese girl who discovers a yeti living on her roof, was jointly produced by Shanghai-based Pearl Studio and Comcast-owned DreamWorks Animation*

That's where they got the map

Towns better to react and be prepared over

So now people who lost their homes due to the typhoon are homeless too

More than 600,000 readers cast votes, which excludes cities in the United States, for which there is a separate list.

Why is there a separate list for the U.S.?

Because it's publication for travelers

Traveling domestic is like visiting relatives you have some familiarity, while traveling abroad is like visiting strangers you're in a whole new world

according to U.S. luxury and lifestyle travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler.

This publication is for travelers, not for settlers

Lol, as many travelers often say about places they visit: "It's a great place to visit, but I don't wanna live there."

The Namibian team set up a fan appreciation event in Iwate’s Miyako City, where the team had been staying, signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans in hopes of giving them some extra cheer as they deal with the aftermath of the storm.

Many people believe that monetary schemes should be left to the domain of governments

Biles has the unrivaled combo of power and flexibility for gymnastics

Greta Thunberg has to go to school. Let her first learn how people live in countries with bad economies. Then let her tell them how to live.

By that time, it'll be too late. Then what's the use of even doing it. Plastics for everybody!

Then we'd have old codgers reminiscing: "In my days, the beaches were blue and clean and full of sand, but now the darn young'uns have filled it with trash and their shenanigans!"

Not realizing that it was his generation that did what he's complaining about, lol

The best laid plans o' mice an' men

Gang aft a-gley

In the face of Mother Nature

Who keeps attacking oil tankers at sea

Rupert Murdoch's son and head of Fox News is not as enamored with Trump as much as his father was

Moving troops from Syria to Saudi Arabia, not getting out of these wars

What Trump said was pretty stupid regardless

Think about it - if anybody said that, you'd think what the heck is that person talking about

It's Federer's turn to have a meltdown

Even if the NBA doesn't scuttle it, China would have scuttled the media events anyway

Freedom of speech includes the freedom to be offended
