This logic is going to keep getting trotted out throughout the trump presidency. In some cases it’ll be true. In this case I think it could be. In many cases it won’t be , simply because destroying things is easier than building things and they’re mostly there to destroy .
I hope they own Jones’ likeness to the point where they can give DJs the rights to remix his shouts into something of value.
What Biden does it doesn’t do is immaterial at this point. American voters have no interest in responsible democracy. Democracies grant extreme power to the people - including the power of suicide. Whether through confusion, deception, or apathy, that is exactly what American voters have chosen.
That was back when presidents weren’t supposed to interfere with federal prosecutors. Those times no longer apply because most American voters don’t care about it.
If they dare to challenge him Trump will sic his army of sycophantic lunatics on them and they’ll fold. It’s cute that these moronic GOP senators think they get a choice in this.
I hope MTG gets national security advisor. If we’re going full farce, might as well make it funny.
History suggests that if her vote might actually determine whether the confirmation passes, that she will vote for him every single time.
Keep telling yourself that in 6 months when American aircraft are bombing Gaza and the West Bank.
Interestingly, the damage done to the US military this way by itself makes all of Russia’s investments in Trump worthwhile. Incredible bang for the buck - far more than they’d get investing in their own military.
Reminds me of this ropeway thing that Tom Scott covered that doesn’t require power input either, for similar reasons:
Niche application but still cool.
It shocks me that people really think Biden is cheering this on.
Probably because Biden’s support of Israel is completely unconditional and not contingent in any way on their conduct. Yeah he may disapprove of their conduct, but this won’t affect material American support at all - that would be antisimetic or whatever. Because of this Biden’s tacit disapproval doesn’t matter. It can be ignored which is what Netanyahu has been doing. Stop sending arms and Israel’s government’s dreams of conquest will collapse within a week, probably along with this government. But that’s unspeakable, apparently, and the Israeli lobby in the US needs to keep it that way.
Now a government is about to take power that won’t offer any disapproval and could probably be talked into direct military action in the region. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see American aircraft bombing Gaza and the West Bank within 6 months. Embroiling the US even deeper into this is in Netanyahu’s interest and the trump government won’t mind going along .
I don’t think the kompromat angle makes sense at this point. It may have once but now? What could they have that would matter? Americans voted for him. Full on piss tapes being leaked online wouldn’t make a difference.
“The first time we vote for Joe Biden, but what we see right now, he didn’t stop the genocide in Gaza,” said Mr. Almudhari, a Yemeni American, who faulted the president for spending American money to support the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
First part makes sense. Second part is absolutely batshit crazy. Not supporting the genocide by… supporting it even harder. Okay bruh you paid for the tickets now enjoy the show.
Your sarcasm doesn’t make your nonsense into sense .
No it’s not. This is a popular meme but it’s true. The US media environment is the root cause and nobody is ready for that conversation or it’s implications.
Because regardless of Russian interference he won by people actually voting him . This is who the US is.
If Santos didn’t like dressing up in drag the right would still be standing by him. The lies weren’t what did him in, they were the excuse.
Interesting hypothetical but Trump hasn’t thrown a punch (at a man at least) in his whole life and is unlikely to start now . It’s all he can do to stay standing.
Sheer factual wrongness aside, most GOP rhetoric around LGBT people is based on not just a complete lack of empathy, but active avoidance of empathy. Not for one moment will they consider what gender dysphoria might feel like to an adolescent child, or how strongly wrong they would have to feel it to actually transition.
They could imagine these things easily but they work extremely hard not to.
Literally just fiction that someone smarter than your came up with and convinced you of.
