This is so unflattering and insulting to Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.

Harkonnen is a bastard, but he was manipulated into the war on Arrakis. Trump just does it because he’s a bastard.

Yeah, the Baron was terrifyingly clever.

Does it really count as a deal when USA is controlling Venezuela's money and operations?

It's theft but they can't say that, ofc.

I had a showerthought this morning in which I fantasized that Carney had a press conference where he just walks up to the podium, grabs the mike, looks directly at the camera and says:

THE FORMS OF KANLY WILL BE OBEYED

Thank you.

... and then he walks off. No questions.

Pigs are intelligent mammals.

No resemblance whatsoever.

Weren't they stealing Venezuela's gold? Because if that's true, this is not a deal.
