It's a solution to the problem of the Trump family not owning enough waterfront real estate.

Yeah - I'm prepared for that. I had a friend who had a GS back in the day, and it notoriously ran sometimes. Overall it spent more time running than it did broken down, but it was close.

But the other thing that struck me about it, and still does, is I think it's one of the most distinctive and attractive auto designs ever. Just something about those curves and that stance appeals to me in a way that no other car ever has.

And while part of the reason I'd want a stock one is that people notoriously bolted crappy parts to them, most of it is that I'd actually want it mechanically rebuilt pretty much from bumper to bumper. If I could find one that's had all of that done, and done well, that'd be fine too, but I'd rather have it done exactly the way I want it. And either way, I want the body to be completely stock.

The Toddler-in-chief.

It doesn't get much more Musk than, "I polled the racists and they said racism is okay, so racism is okay "

By design.

The police are intended to serve as the ruling class's mercenary army, and most notably in the not-very-distant future when they shift from a policy of mostly passive oppression of the common people to a policy of open warfare against the common people.

I can do a spot-on impression of the standard deep, booming monster-truck rally advertising voice.

"This FRIDAY! (Friday... Friday...) Only at the Gigantodome! Beer Swiller Productions presents MONSTER TRUCK MAYHEM! You'll pay for the entire seat but you'll only need the EDGGGGGGGGE!"

Well... of course you can't hear it, but if you could, seriously, it's dead-on.

1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, fully stock.

Possibly.

Trump doesn't give a ahit about Netanyahu, or Israel for that matter. But it is possible that Trump thinks he can gain by going to bat for Netanyahu. And yes - there is the background of the Trump families shady real estate dealings, and it's possible that Netanyahu has a part to play in that.

I still think it's most likely though that Trump's primary motivation is to do all he can to discredit and undermine the ICC, in the eyes of his delusional supporters at least, preparatory to the charges they're inevitably going to end up leveling in response to his planned egregious violations of international law.

Remember - everything Trump does is ultimately for his own benefit.

This isn't really about the charges the ICC has leveled against Netanyahu. Trump is trying to get out in front of the charges they're inevitably going to end up leveling against him.

“marital duties”

My male perspective, from that phrase alone, is that he's an asshole.

and asked how I would react if he just stopped paying the mortgage because he was “too tired.” (For context, I cover about 45% of it

And that just further supports my initial assessment.

But I didn’t think saying no when I’m sleep-deprived and emotionally drained was unreasonable.

It wasn't.

And the fact that you said no should be sufficient all by itself, and not even just as a sign of respect. From a selfish position it should still be sufficient, since nobody with any measure of concern for their partner should be able to enjoy sex they know to be unwilling.

do most guys feel this way?

That I don't know. I can say that not all do, but especially at this point in time, more than I'd think reasonably possible do.

That's sort of immaterial though, since they're wrong, and remain wrong no matter how many other assholes agree with them.

Even if a change in circumstances is temporary, does a wife have an obligation to always meet her husband’s needs?

Categorically no.

Now that said, a wife should feel some desire to at least try to accommodate her husband, since that's the nature of partnership, and depending on ones personality, one might treat that as an "obligation." I'm not sure that that's healthy, but i see no intrinsic problem with it. But an obligation in the externalized sense - something another might reasonably demand of you rather than something you might demand of yourself? Absolutely not, under any circumstances.

What’s actually a “good” reason to say no?

I want to say any reason, but I don't think that's quite true.

I'd say any reason that's internally valid is okay, which is to say, because you're tired/emotionally drained/physically ill/just not in the mood/etc - anything that's an honest expression of your emotional/physical/psychological state and the simple degree of desire you feel.

The bad reasons to say no are things that are other-directed - things like the desire to belittle/punish/torment/manipulate/etc. ones partner.

Yes we do.

He's leading a coup.

On behalf of the would-be US dictator Donald Trump, he and his mercenaries are taking control of vital government functions away from the duly appointed authorities and claiming it as their own.

I read about half of that and knew who wrote it.

...arguing in bad faith?

I love unintentional irony.
