Let's hope he's ... uh... right. As in correct.

He *could* but he won't, because you lot don't care enough to make it happen – otherwise it *would* already have happened. Instead, he'll leave office at some point, and collect taxpayer-funded lifetime pension as a thank-you.

I wish you'd prove me wrong, but I know you won't.

Cognitive dissonance much yet?

I love it when Christian parents read Ezekiel 23:20 to their infants.

Why is everybody complaining about grocery prices?

Christianity provides a perfectly good solution for converting an abundant resource into life-sustaining meals.

"The lord will provide." — Genesis 22:14

Aber die USA finden doch immer zufällig Öl, wenn sie irgendwo einfa... ich meine befreien. Vielleich finden sie bei und auch endlich Öl, und machen UNS ALLE REICH!!1!!1!

Ganz bestimmt.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Also wenn man im großen Stil betrügt, dann ist das nur ein Fehler und nicht kriminell? Interessante Ansicht.

"Unbeliebtester Regierungschef der Welt"... ähm, ja.

Unbeliebter zu sein als Trump, das ist schon ein Verdienst.

Aber schreit das mal nicht zu laut herum, sonst sehen die USA uns als politisch gefährdet, und kommen um uns zu "befreien".

Really, an apostrophe for a plural s...? Have your writers no grammatical education?

To prove what a bunch of useless cowards Christians are. There's a reason he didn't have the balls to depict himself as Mohammed.

(I despise either, or rather – any, systematic religion. So I have no horse in this race. Just saying, bullies love gullible cowards.)

The troubling part is that currently the EU, the organisation itself, is predominantly presided (in Council, Parliament, Commission) by conservative right-wing representatives of its member states.

So even if member states want to be governed liberally and progressively – the parent EU does not.

Photo of a short excerpt from the book "Hyperion" by Dan Simmons, written 1989, about artificial intelligence and (lack of) respect for copyright and intellectual property: 'You said seventy million were planned,' I said. 'Yeah, well, we changed our minds after Transline's resident AI read it.' I slumped lower in the flowfoam. 'Even the AI hated it?' 'The AI loved it,' said Tyrena. 'That's when we knew for sure that people were going to hate it.' I sat up. 'Couldn't we have sold copies to the TechnoCore?' 'We did,' said Tyrena. 'One. The millions of Als there probably real-time-shared it the minute it came in over fat-line. Interstellar copyright doesn't mean shit when you're dealing with silicon.'

From "Hyperion" (Dan Simmons, 1989)

By far not my favourite book ever, but mate was he ahead of time. Not quite on Asimovian levels, but still – woah.

In Deutschland gibt es etwa 49 Mio. Autofahrer, also 1.900.000.000 / 49.000.000 sind nach Adam Riese etwa 38.78€ pro Autofahrer.

Klar, Milchmädchenrechnung, aber vielleicht relativiert es die erstmal gigantös-elefantastisch anmutende Zahl von 1.9 Milliarden etwas.

Politiker, die angeblich Politik für das Volk machen, sollten auch so leben wie das Volk.

Wir sollten von jemandem vertreten werden, der immer noch weiß was eine Mahnung und ein Dispo sind, und nicht von jemandem, der sich nicht entscheiden kann welchen seiner zwei Privatjets er heute nimmt.

Natürlich nicht.

Wer Millionen hortet, monatlich 30K-40K € Brutto einnimmt, kostenlos herumgefahren und herumgeflogen wird, der KANN gar nicht verstehen mit welchen finanziellen Querelen das gemeine Fußvolk sich plagen muss, und warum die Benzin- und Nahrungsmittelpreise so schlimm sein sollen.

I used to like Ricky, sadly he turned TERF.

It's great that he has a heart for animals – who, as he explored in his stand-up show "Animals", have no shortage of queer-ness.

But if the price is ridicule and vilification of humans who need acceptance and normalisation, then he can just piss off.

Looks like god has blessed Hungary, just like Vance wished. Let's hope he gets to the US soon.

If no one else is going to point out the brilliance of the little red sign, I will.

(I mean that "Jesus dying for us" nonsense. Fuck him, I didn't ask him to.)

"I bought a beautiful new car, I expect you to reimburse me." guilt trip deluxe

But since Trump's backers are involved, Orban will stay in office. Right?

Here I sit, broken-hearted, marveled at the fancy telescopes and special scientific lenses and sensors they would have used to take these pictures – and then you burst my bubble by telling me it was a 10yo common pro-sumer DSLR. (Surely tons of processing, but still.)

That's probably why they're enforcing anti-abortion laws so drastically.

Isn't that a bit like saying, "I won't attend the court hearing for when I killed someone, because at the time I was acting as a killer, and now I'm no longer in that position"...?
