Brave Little Hitachi Wand

It’s a mistake to think they’re all comedically stupid. They’re definitely stupid enough that we wouldn’t enjoy their company, but they’re smart enough to know that if they can hang around until DT dies, whoever’s left will become something even more dangerous - and far more malleable.

In Tienanmen Square, somebody stood in front of the tanks.

That all-important eighth mover advantage that they teach in business school

I bet these ass burps would be partial to a USS Eddie Gallagher.

I don’t know half the people you mentioned

Oh interesting. So cops shouldn’t shoot at people in the course of ceasing criminal activity orrrr

It almost makes me miss the first term when he had no plan

It’s not even as funny as my username 😮‍💨

It takes scarce vision to see that we are now striding through the pages of history, a time when nary a kind word will be written of those who said “not me”, or “business as usual”. In the quieter years of our twilight, children will hear of the troubles we faced and plaintively ask “why didn’t anyone do anything?” And the only ones among that crowd of elders who can stand tall will be the few, indeed, who had gumption.

The one that looks like SNES but in the shape of a PS4 controller? I got that too but it has these funny back buttons I have no idea what to do with. Otherwise very happy

I don’t think it’s impossible to fix campaign finance - elected officials don’t want to have to constantly be chasing payola in the campaign finance arms race. It’s just hard to change a paradigm from the inside.

You know I thought I recalled something like that. I was commenting while sleepy, I remember talking about how Netanyahu preferred Trump and was trying to make Biden eat shit. I guess recognising Jerusalem bought Trump that treatment.

Money talks. You want democrats who act normal about Israel, fix campaign finance. The Israel lobby did this.

Good job team

All y’all are fighting the wrong people in this thread. We all agree it’s a bad situation and there’s no prize for “best degree of historical nuance in an opinion”. We all agree the enemy is present in the moment.

Oh so

Uh, that’s no bueno

Can’t believe I clicked that. I fancy I know now how it feels to be an elf hearing the language of Mordor.

The customer is always right, especially when they’re left.

You do not recant? If my testimony cannot move you, it is doubtful that you yearn to accept a contradiction, though it pleases you to pretend it.

I have forsaken a friend of over twenty years on these issues. I have made myself and my family immigrants among the English, all because I have known for years that America was fated for fascism. Still I do not say all Americans are Nazis.

If you brainlessly admit no nuance into the matter, why say anything at all? Better to remain silent and sneer at those less fortunate, like a fucking nazi.

Shiggles, the way you said this makes it sound like you’re calling every American in America a nazi. I doubt whether you intended this, but that is the reading people are responding to.

They are responding to a heinously stupid stance. I hope and trust you will see this.

I am an American who has been boycotting America as an immigrant elsewhere for the last 4 years. I had the understanding, privilege, and nerve to know all of this was coming down the pipe and to act accordingly.

Most Americans are not Nazis. The electoral system is not only systematically, but also in specific regulatory and monetary senses, skewed in the direction of Nazis. This has been an issue arguably since the Powell Memo half a century ago, but the roots of this poison go back all the way to before the country was an official entity.
