The Elephant in the Room

People talk about China as the elephant in the room (regarding #Corbyn and #Trump) but we cannot forget the awful numbers of Chinese (and British) victims of imperialism nor the sacrifices the Russian people made during WW2.
To talk about Tiananmen and forcing women to have abortions one may as well talk about Abu Graib and forcing women NOT to have abortions. But that road only leads to imprisoning war criminals.
What would happen if we arrested John Bolton et al? Why not arrest Trump for trying to overthrow an elected government (Venezuela)?
Why not point out the seriousness of Trump saying he doesn't admire Jeremy Corbyn (who was elected the leader of the Labour Party)? Because there isn't an authoritarian leader, coup-monger or despot who Trump hasn't at some point said "He's a good guy, I admire him", at least as far as Russia, China, the Philippines, Venezuela and North Korea are concerned.

Fan Theories Eight

Q both created and manipulated the Borg. They/He did this in order to prevent the version of the Federation in the Mirror Mirror  universe from coming to power.

It makes a weird kind of sense for the Romulans to ally with the Borg, if only to keep the Federation on its toes. This means t...

Fan Theories 19

Pokemon and Dragon Ball share the  same universe If both franchises are set in the very far future,  Humans could have evolved into the Saiyans before (or after) migrating (or relocating) to  the planet Sadala. The Saiyans then conquered a new planet and named it "Vegeta", before Sadala was destroyed. The original Earth may actually be Sadala. In any case, as far as the inhabitants of the Pokemon World and Dragon World are concerned their world is still Earth. Someone at some point in the past of both franchises used the Dragon Balls to create two worlds filled with humans and magical creatures. Or three: why not the world of A Song of Ice and Fire too?

Baby Trump

A stoned baby visits London. What if Trump meets the Queen and the first thing he says is "If you weren't so old I'd rape you". What if he asks her why she killed Diana Spencer? If we ignore Donald Trump does anyone really think that he'd just GO AWAY? And, even if that were possible, how does one go about this without using terrorist tactics to hijack the mass media?
