Self -defence in the Trump era:

“Waaah, they won’t sell their oil after we invaded their country, time to use my bang-bang”
or
“Waaah, a protestor is lying face down on the floor with lots of people stopping him moving, he’s definitely a threat to me, time to use my pew-pew”

MAGA/Trump is still complaining about Obama, tan suits and Nobel Peace Prizes. Your point being?

This shows how your system is inherently broken. At least two of those things should be apolitical.

The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

The plastic recycling industry is looking forward to that day too

Hey now, I’ve known plenty of whores who are fine and lovely people. At least they give something positive to the world. Noem, not so much.

Ol’ Bone Spurs can shut the fuck up when it comes to anything military imo

No no, not “a negotiator”, we said “ego-driven dictator”.

Racism? In Texas? Say it ain’t so.

And apparently 70 years ago too.

Especially the 1992 food pyramid and its support for the grain industry with its “6 to 11 servings” of grains per day.

Come on infectious diseases, do your thing.

As an Australian, another middle power, Mark Carney’s speech was a good one. The sooner us similar powers can get together and choose another way, free from the power mad “great powers” the better.

And this is why, no matter how abhorrent some people are or seem, or even if they admit their guilt, that the death penalty shouldn’t be enforced.

greatest nation since Roman times

Bit of a stretch. You could argue that the Spanish, Portuguese, French or British empires were long lasting, more extensive and had a greater affect over history than the 125 or so years that the US has been a major power (half of it’s history - prior to that it was mostly insular). Just in language alone, let alone diplomatic and cultural ties.

But yes, he has ushered in the final destruction of the US’s standing in the world. However, it was set up to fall since at least the Reagan-era which you could argue we’re still in.

Until he talks to someone else. He’s just parroting the last thing someone said to him.

The ability to buy a house isn’t the only indicator of an economy. Neither is GDP, or CPI, or any of the other numerous stats if used in isolation. Millennials (and their cusps - xennials and zennials) already accepted that we’re poorer than our parents, financially at least, and we didn’t riot. We voted differently and continuously push for other things.

As soon as the GOP started bleating that the Biden administration were doing it to them, which they weren’t (Merrick Garland was a limp-backed baby chewing on a pacifier) you just knew what was coming. Dems weren’t doing it, and they expected GOP to be the same. They are not the same.

Sure sounds like a terrorist organisation.

Which is about right. Pre-9/11, the US’s model of a “terrorist” was a white, 30 something, loser, guy - a Timothy McVeigh-type. Identical to 95% of ICE agents.

Maybe they should return to that model.

I got married to my gf of 7 years and started going to uni.
