The ignorant fuckwit STILL doesn't understand that the Norwegian Prime Minister has fuck all to do with the award of the Peace Prize. But that's the least of our worries, with such an unstable fucker in charge of the nuclear button.

"After thanking American service people, many of whom were in the room, Trump moved on to his plans for the new White House ballroom"

There you have him in a nutshell. A man utterly consumed by his vanity leaving him with no sense of how offensive he is.

So many great books from Dan Simmons... The Terror and Carrion Comfort in particular were big influences. He let his politics turn him bitter in his later years, but a lot of those early books were gold.
