not a popular opinion here, of course — this site is the last redoubt of people who truly believe Biden was an effective and good-hearted president in full control of the nation and his own faculties

Biden’s handlers had the residual good sense to flatter vassal sensibilities and make them feel like they were at least in the passenger seat of imperial policy. Trump’s men are delusional freaks who think Europe is overrun by Muslims despite every single leader being a white Christian.

If a conservative racist like Magyar is willing to actually scour the Hungarian government of Orbán acolytes then I don't know how U.S. Democrats could possibly look much worse by comparison. Biden didn't even fire Louis DeJoy.

"If you were in charge of Star Trek what would you do?"

Post-DS9 prime timeline sequel series to the Dominion War, in which the Romulans take advantage of their fewer losses to wipe out the Klingons and topple the Federation; who have to earn their space communism back, explicitly this time.

I have knocked doors for basically every campaign here in Bergen County NJ since Obama 2008. Knocking doors is probably the most demoralizing thing you can do if you actually care about politics. The public just does not fucking care.

Screenshot from Legal Advice UK subreddit: "My son pleasured himself in front of Gemini Live with the camera. My entire family have had our Google accounts banned. Scotland He's 14 and stupidly decided to try and roleplay with Gemini using its live camera mode. The AI correctly identified he was underage and Google banned all my accounts. He did it on the family tablet. It has parental controls to stop him watching innapropriate stuff, but we dind't realise Gemini wasn't covered by these. ALL of our entire family's Google accounts were linked to that tablet. Google banned them all. Everything gone. 15 years of business completely inaccessible. All my emails, all my documents saved in Google Drive. Even my website was linked to my Google account and that's been locked down too. We've written to Google and begged for it to be reinstated but they've said all the accounts have been shut down for child protection reasons. I don't know how I'm going to pay my mortgage in 3 months time. I've literally lost ALL my records for my accountant. My company year ends in May. My whole life is completely fucked. Is there any legal mechanism I can use to get all my google accounts back?"

a new form of teen fuck-up emerges

your order has shipped

loooool

absolute troglodytes. there is no joke that you can make about them that they don’t already embody with 100% trashy sincerity

white monster. lmao these people are impossible to parody

I think we might be losing

trying to widen the gyre in the next couple hours. we want to make sure the falcon cannot hear the falconer. that’s a good day’s work.

they think americans are watching and hanging upon their every word. DC brain virus. They do not understand that 90% of the nation has no idea who they are and any boon they’ll attribute to the regime in power.

"government can't deliver so you might as well not pay into it" is nothing more than a suicide note for left and liberal governance

These people are genuinely delusional about the level of threat this middling country thousands of miles and two continents away actually poses

MOOOOOOOOOM THE ENEMY IS VOTING AGAIN

this website is in a froth about him lately. And you’re 100% right. I think he’s gonna win though. If we wanted someone else worth a damn they shouldn’t have put up a 77 year old

superpowers led like this don’t remain superpowers for long.

There are many reasons to impose age (not term!) limits on elected positions.

Senility is obv #1.

But near the top? Ensure that they will likely live long enough to be forced to see the long-run costs of dumb, dangerous actions.

And reduce any panicked desire to secure “a legacy.”

our country is killing people by the dozen and I look around and everything is just…relatively normal. and it makes me feel sick. we’re not doing enough

all their beliefs are both wrong and ontologically evil

I know it’s kind of just a subtext, but it should be stated: the Republican Party is one of the most demonic and destructive political formations in this century and arguably in modern human history

Iran: a young, increasingly secular quasi-democracy with a top heavy religious fundamentalist government that is facing increasing pressure for reform

Israel: a radicalizing garrison state with no opposition or reformist movement to speak of

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

you know personally i find it's quite funny that this suddenly becomes an acceptable view to hold when the guy doing it is One of Your Own and not a Ukrainian.

oh never mind you’re a Zionist. I get it, sorry.

see my other comment but yeah you’re 100% correct

Well no disagreement there. Fuck the donors.

I think sometimes well meaning people like you want to fight with other people of your political persuasion because there are no right wingers or centrists on here. Like I said, you’re just fighting with ghosts.
