The multiple negatives make it hard to be sure, but I think he might be arguing that Trump is much more corrupt than most politicians and it’s a con to claim otherwise.

I believe that voice change goes all the way back to the radio shows from the 1940s. The producers were going to get two different guys to be Clark Kent and Superman until Bud Collyer demonstrated he could do two distinct voices.

At a Renaissance Faire food stand in the 90s I had the best steak sandwich I’ve ever had in my entire life. Tender and flavorful grilled steak between two halves of a sandwich roll. The quintessence of sandwich. I spent years trying to find or reproduce that sandwich but to no avail.

No, I mean that for the last 2-3 years Ukraine has been fighting off Russia. Yes, with help from Europe and America but that wouldn't have been much use without Ukraine's determination to fight. And if Ukraine had not fought... what're the odds that Putin would by now have invaded someone else?

I can’t find out anything about a “World Robinson” equal area projection, just the Robinson non-equal-area one. Is this a new projection?
