If I had to choose from the current administration, I’d have to pick Mattis.
Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Did Silverwook just post a spoiler for a movie with a soon-to-be released remake?
If anything they’ll semi-remake On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, not From Russia with Love.

Yep, there goes the whole individual insurance marketplace. “But Obamacare was broken when I got here, I swear!”
Apparently this new tax plan should make this situation regarding health care worse. Nice.

But, but, I thought Trump and the Republicans didn’t like rule by executive order. I thought they thought the President should get things done via the Legislative Branch.

That only applies when a Democrat is in office.

If they do remake OHMSS, I hope this time Bond and Blofeld don’t act like they’ve never meant before when they did meet in the events of YOLT.

Soft reboot. 😉
Where were you in '77?

Didn’t you see Silverwook’s winky?

You have to go all the way back to Grover Cleveland’s first term (1885-1889) to find a president who was stingier with his executive orders than Obama. That’s what happens when you elect a guy who used to teach Constitutional Law.
Trump’s currently on track to be somewhere between Reagan and Carter with regard to rule by executive order. He’s still got some work to do if he wants to catch up with the likes of Coolidge or Hoover.

I meant OHMSS would be considered a soft reboot today. Not sure the concept existed at the time it was made.

It was the same timeline, they just chose to ignore continuity for the sake of staying close to the OHMSS novel.
The Person in Question
Isn’t that the definition of a soft reboot?
Where were you in '77?
Pretty much.
I don’t think that ignoring continuity is necessary for a soft reboot. I usually think of a soft reboot as a reimagining of the series for a modern audience, which OHMSS wasn’t. I don’t think there is a specific definition though.
The Person in Question
So you’re implying I need to start investigating bifocals, then, is it?
Yikes.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that Puerto Rico is going to have to shoulder more responsibility for recovery efforts from Hurricane Maria, saying the federal government’s emergency responders can’t stay there “forever.”
His comments – in which he also blamed the beleaguered island for a financial crisis “largely of their own making” and infrastructure that was a “disaster” before the hurricane – come as Puerto Rico still reels from a lack of electricity, public health access and a rising death toll. The remarks quickly prompted cries from Democratic lawmakers, who argue that Puerto Rico still needs a lot of help, as well as the mayor of San Juan, who said they were “unbecoming” and appeared to come from a “hater in chief.”
Meanwhile, Texas and Florida – two states Trump won during last year’s presidential election – also were struck by severe hurricanes recently, but the President has made no public indication that the federal government is pulling back on its response there.
The President wrote in two separate tweets, “‘Puerto Rico survived the Hurricanes, now a financial crisis looms > largely of their own making.’ says Sharyl Attkisson. A total lack of…accountability say the Governor. Electric and all infrastructure was disaster before hurricanes. Congress to decide how much to spend…”
White House chief of staff John Kelly said at the White House briefing Thursday that Trump’s tweet was “exactly accurate” because first responders “are not going to be there forever.”
“The minute you go anywhere as a first responder, and this would apply certainly to the military, you will try really hard to work yourself out of a job,” he said. “There will be a period in which we hope sooner rather than later, the US military and (the Federal Emergency Management Agency), generally speaking, can withdraw because then the government and people of Puerto Rico are recovering sufficiently to start the process of rebuilding.”
A FEMA official told CNN the agency has “no hard deadline” on when it plans to pull resources from the island.
“It all will be determined by the conditions on the ground,” the official said.The official said once things are “stabilized” in Puerto Rico, FEMA will “pull back resources as appropriate,” adding that’s the “natural progression of a response to a disaster.”
Great job of spin, Mr. Kelly.
