In my non-expert opinion, eez dead. A lost cause but I can’t tell if the girdling goes all the way around.

Maybe the real treasure were the planes we stole along the way.

It’s always projection with these people. Voter fraud in 3…2…

“There is no indication, anywhere in the United States, of widespread voter fraud,” Bonta said. “Counts, recounts, hand counts, audits, and court cases all support this.”

Just the jerrymandering, voter suppression, intimidation, long lineups and inconvenience for certain polling stations, the email and web campaigns with wrong dates and locations, a precariat who can’t afford to take time off work to vote, a media landscape run by billionaires who misinform the masses via false narratives, cambridge analytica style shenanigans, foreign interference and kompromat operations, having your President in a clearly compromised position to Russia and Israel. Now you can add the ICE gestapo on the streets.

Yeah. Nothing to see here.

Well naturally. That is the whole point. Conservatives don’t want to help people, they want them dead as cheaply and expeditiously as possible. Opioids are the perfect tool. It makes our underclasses a self-solving problem.

What agreement? Trump breaks every deal, repeatedly.

What a shithole. Let me guess, she is white, conservative and never thought the leopards would eat her face.

I did a support call in the 90’s where “clicking the left mouse button” was stumping her. After trying a few variations of instructions, I decided to take a step back and better assess the situation.

Me - Ma’am, are you left or right handed?

Her: right

Me: Lift your right hand, and look at the mouse. It should be a palm sized white plastic device with two buttons, one on the left and one on the right where your fingers rest. There should also be a small cable that extends from the far side and plugs into your computer. The underside of it has a little grey ball in the middle. Do you see it?

Her: You mean the doohickey on the floor?

Me: Pardon me?!? Well, it should be on your desk, not the floor. Why would it be down there?

Her: You mean the foot pedal?

Me: *light bulb clicks on. Are you really familiar with sewing machines?

Her: yes, but this doesn’t work anything like that.

Me: ok. We have found the problem! This is great. First step is to take the foot pedal off the floor and place it on the desk, under your right hand when you are sitting comfortably.

From there everything went smooth as silk.

Let me guess. The Ford government told the court “they can’t claim concerns around mining pollution when we’ve already contaminated everything with mercury. You can’t reasonably claim potential harm, when you are surrounded by actual harm.”

I’ll just leave this here.

What a shithole country.

We know.

Edit: well, some of us do.

These are serious risks, but the alternative may be that countries like Germany, Poland, and Sweden will eventually seek their own deterrents if they believe the US nuclear guarantee is no longer ironclad and there is no other option.

We’re a little past that now, no?

Is this my two minutes hate?

Or, make him persona non-gratta and let the US find someone less dipshitty to replace him.

The US military has been pushing their religious nonsense since forever. Believe it or not, this is a very subtle shift by their standards. This rhetoric has been common and coordinated with “religious” “leaders” , and on rightwing media.

Global going full Fox?

I don’t think anyone wants this regime to survive, but that is not the same as condoning a war of agression against a people in what should be an internal civil matter. Nuclear proliferation is a diplomatic matter unless you subscribe to the “I had to rape you because you turned me down” school of geopolitics."

The US has been making and breaking deals with Iran since forever, including Trumps first term cancelling the existing deal for no reason and with nonevidence of blatently false claims. They have never bargained in good faith.

Now we have eastern europe, middle east, asia and of course the US now in open wars. A rather undignified end to the post WWII peace and order.

What’s a 5 character word for our near future? WW_ _ _

Of course not! Have you seen the price of Olympians these days? It’s highway robbery!

I’m sorry, we have no bananas today.
