Take a drink every time you read something white nationalist or Christian theocracy-adjacent and you’ll fucking die.

Two things can be true at the same time. But I’ll dispute that this is citizen citrus’s fault. European appeasement created the enemy they’re currently facing. Particularly merkel’s germany.

Trump is a swindler who is currently swindling. Europe is a militarily complacent economic bloc wholly dependent on the US. Frankly, this is a terrible, short sighted move, as this removes US military leverage, but it’s a very Trump move.

Just read the article, and did it feel as though it was written by 3 different people to anyone else?

But anyway, the EU undeniably needed to spend more on their collective militaries with a hostile, expansionist neighbor on their doorstep. This is literally one of two things that Trump has been right about in his lifetime.

“So we still get paid and we don’t have to do anything? That’s amazing! Haha, but why do I have to face the wall for this part?”

Asparagus should either be turned into a sauce or blistered with salt. Any other preparation is wrong. That is my political opinion.

Japan’s so weird about whale meat. Supposedly, Japanese people don’t even like whale meat. It’s considered low class fare, and unpleasant. And yet they catch plenty. Anyone have an explanation beyond “cultural heritage of eating food they hate”?

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Tesla fake a substantial portion of their sales in Canada until this year? Might that be related?

Out of left field with the US talking point.

They should try it the same way Ukraine did. I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

I agree, I should be allowed to keep all of my completely identical guns after shooting at my neighbor, so long as they were put away properly.

Destroying planes that have been, and would otherwise have continued to be used for, launching missiles at Ukraine… that doesn’t help Ukraine?

Brb, gonna shoot at my neighbor. But I’ll put my gun back in a gun safe afterward so no one will do anything about it.

>escalation

Disarming a gunman is an escalation now?

I wonder whether he still feels embarrassed about that. I intermittently relive minor faux pas, and each one haunts me in a unique way. He said quite possibly the cringiest string of words of all time, and yet his knuckles aren’t white and his lips unchapped and whole. Wonder how he does it.

That’d be a reasonable tool. Unfortunately, we do not live in reasonable times.

“First amendment” my ass. You can’t say anything without these snowflakes jumping in

Has Europe made itself more robust in the wake of the multiple financial collapses stemming from the US? Sincere question. I know china has taken measures.

“Next US president” is a hopeful prognostication. Trump seems intent on crashing the US economy into the side of a mountain

I’m still wondering why his purpose is in taking a cudgel to the US economy. Is he profiting off of short selling? Did vlad offer him an *actual* gold shitter if he did it? Does he just hate most of us? Is he looking to create a slave caste in the coming AI apotheosis? Is he just bluntly culling the herd?

I can’t think of a positive reason.

They would have spun it into something positive, either by editing or insincere language.

I know my system works, otherwise I wouldn’t be immune to your criticism

Only once, before the immunity kicks in
