Yeah. Like make some of the best films in the last 40 years. DAMN YOU COCAINE

The difference between security and security theater.

Americans only do theater. They do actual security in Europe

I wasn’t kidding in the slightest. If the DoD had executed the second Iraq invasion it would have taken a few days. But Rumsfeld and his croneys insisted on it being done their way, and they didn’t know shit about fuck when it came to warfare. (Note: this may have been because Rumsfeld was lying and committing crimes that, had the military done things the way they wanted, would have been exposed.)

Don’t worry. The US may have the most experienced, well funded, and outfitted military on the planet, but the bafoons at the top keep getting in the way of the military executing a war the way it wants to.

See: Iraq 2, WMD boogaloo, or the cult classic Vietnam: Congress goes to war.

Trump thinks a coat of arms is a jacket made of weapons that he can buy

Heyyyy then we got mild socialism that kinda worked until a conservative court overturned all of the most effective reforms in favor of business…

He should shove it up his ass.

I don’t want it to be quick and painless for him

If Trump de If the US tried, it would be like chopping both of its legs and then one of the arms.

Well they DO have the high ground…

Nonsense. I oppose the death penalty for almost all crimes. It’s just too easy to render an inaccurate verdict, and you can’t undo an execution.

But we don’t have any doubt about billionaires. They’re verifiably guilty beyond any shadow of a doubt.

I also think they should be able to avoid the death penalty by giving up their wealth and living on minimum wage for a number of years equal to the number of billions they captured and withheld from society.

That’s the joke

The US in 6 months: “fuckin watch me.”

So it’ll be paid off sometime between the last star dying and the first black hole evaporating.

10 thousand people marching would make world headlines. Though admittedly that’s more difficult than smuggling soup in to an art gallery.

It’s to get cameras thrust in their face so they ask when oil executives will face consequences.

“Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???”

It’s an idiotic form of protest, it accomplishes nothing but turning the public against you, and forever associating your cause with petty vandalism.

My roommate in college was from Seoul. He was vehemently, vocally, angrily anti Japanese. His friends from Korea mostly shared similar views.

Korea and China don’t share much in common, but hating Japan and by extension people from there is one thing they do. And for similar reasons.

They’re still really pissed about the horrific war crimes.

It’s ok. I survived. I’m not sure what he did but I survived it.

Listen buddy.

First of all, men are brutalizing women all over the world, every day, regardless of religion.

You should think about religion as less of a driver and more of a record. Like a dictionary.

People will do whatever they want to do, and then they will justify it. If there happens to be a few convenient passages in a religious text justifying setting your spouse on fire, they’ll repeat that until they’re blue in the face while dousing a woman in gasoline.

And sure, you can say that they use that text to tech their kids, but they’re still just teaching the bits they want to.

The point is, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, doesn’t matter. All major sacred books have bits about brutalizing women that step out of line, and the people that really like those bits tend to climg to them to justify being horrible fucking people.

85% of Russia’s territory is effectively empty. Almost their entire population lives to the west of the Urals. Any territory China would be interested in would be nearly empty.

Pretend?

Un peu de pagaille? Quelque chose de chienlit?
