A conservative “centrist”.

No doubt.

What’s interesting is Bibi’s use of the word ‘report’. Very clearly saying publicly that Donald is his bitch.

Very rude of Starmer to not place the UK’s face in the middle of Donald’s fist.

I hate that this doddering, brain-damaged old pedophile is setting something in motion that’s going to be creating negative consequences for the entire world long after he’s cold and dead.

Awful.

Wait.

No.

You mean sending out the big guns JD Vance didn’t tip it in Donald’s or Orban’s favor?

I really, really, really hope people strike during WC time in multiple cities.

Workers could cost management billions, easily, if they do this.

God I love the Fediverse.

Feels weird, but I just love that people answer questions and aren’t jerks about it.

So do we Americans.

Let these escapades serve as an example that, outside of the Epstein Class, people’s only power here is local.

I see the point you’re getting at, but this is too big of a debate for Saturday morning. :)

Have a great day.

What really makes me chuckle is whenever someone tries to insist to me that Mexican men are chauvinists, and I have to remind them that not only did they elect a woman, but they elected a woman who is doing FDR shit and actually making people’s lives better.

I’m jealous. The closest we got was Bernie and both parties swift-boated him.

He’s going to be really pissed when the trade agreements negotiated post-tariffs start kicking in. Gonna wish they’d stayed in the EU.

LOL

It’s fascinating that the Pope gets threatened for being critical of Donald, and not, you know, facilitating an international child trafficking ring.

Went about as well as one would expect when a war is run by two massively-unqualified TV show hosts who paid smarter people to write their term papers.

Yeah, they’re saying all the same dumbass things that came out of Rumsfeld and McNamara’s mouths.

The upside is no one believes them. The downside is both ruling parties support this war, if not in word than in deed, so we’ll probably be at war there for the next 20 years.

You’re not wrong.

But it’s all we ever get, so some find it satisfying.

No one who would do the right thing is allowed within sniffing distance of the presidency.

The two ruling parties think it’s bad enough that a Democratic Socialist is running the world’s fifth-largest economy in New York, and are no doubt scheming up administrative hurdles to ensure it never happens again once Zohran’s out of power, same as they did after Ross Perot got so close to the presidency in the 90’s.

DO IT

moving investments and reorganizing supplies takes time.

This is a salient point. Back in February 2025 when Donald decided to start imposing unilateral tariffs, other countries started crafting new trade agreements. Those take 1.5 to 2 years to take effect, so everything Donald is doing is, essentially, a time bomb that’s going to go off after 2026 whether it’s the BBB or our former allies rerouting trade around the US and through China. The vast majority of Americans don’t have any real knowledge of what these things mean or Donald would be even more unpopular than he is now.

In 2028 the new order in the world will probably unrecognizable compared to 2024, and it could be a very bad thing. We Americans have been lucky in that most of us have never experienced real war and can’t contextualize it, and that could change in the very near future.

It’s a nice thought, but there’s no way. We here in the US didn’t even kill the leaders of the Confederacy after the civil war, and those fuckers got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed in their treason.

The reason why cancel culture is so big here is that, often, getting someone canceled is the only meaningful recourse for being a piece of shit.

Agreed.

As much as one might want their country to win, as an American who is 100% anti-war, incidents like this are definitely helpful to slowing the march to war and make it exponentially harder for Donald and Keg-breath to justify what they’re doing.
