I don’t understand how the right supports this. Crashing out and yelling while Zelenskyy remains calm makes you look fucking weak. I thought Trump and JD Vance were supposed to understand strength. They look like bitch losers

Uncertainty, unpredictability, deals. Are these really the rules that the new international order should be based on?

Watching the ghoulish ceremony staged by Hamasbara for the Bibas children; and thinking about all the Gazan children also incinerated by Israeli bombs - can't help but think that Netanyahu and Hamas might deserve each other, but Israelis and Palestinians deserve neither.

it's so evidently obvious that Trump wants to be a dictator and anyone arguing otherwise is in denial

the problem is that we don't "randomly cut everything by 10-35%." when it comes to austerity, the first things on the chopping block are always education, healthcare, and aid to the poor. why don't we first try "randomly" chopping corporate welfare and "see what happens?"

I know why it is this way, but it frustrates me that political discourse is dominated by shit like “should bad tweets get you fired” and not things like “how to dramatically scale up electricity production to achieve civilizational economic shifts”

The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Again, just to be clear about what's happening here:
This is Trump's anti-"DEI" czar, responding with a grinning-man meme when I said he was using "DEI" as a codeword for the civil rights laws from the 1960s. Effectively an admission they plan on restoring Jim Crow-era law.

i just feel like you need to sit back and evaluate your faith if someone humbly pleading with leaders on behalf of the poor and marginalized makes you angry.
