I deduce that the one nerbal has now become a priceless commodity since the last person using currency now has cornered the nerbal market.

Quote for reference:

>Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, told Fox News' America's Newsroom: "He's been impeached twice, and now he's still our president as well now too. It's not going anywhere, and I don't think that's helpful. I think if you throw that term around that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for."

You know what else diminishes the severity of impeachment? Not impeaching impeachable conduct.

"Benjamin, STOP!"

Sure, why not? I hear Russia is extremely drug-use-positive and cultivates oligarchs who don't submit to authority.

>In an ironic twist, the Trump administration deported gang members from the U.S. to El Salvador's notorious Terrorism Confinement Center prison who faced federal indictments that could have resulted in their testifying in court about the pact with Bukele.

This isn't irony, this is complicity and corruption. Trump clearly gave Bukele the visit and public press conference as a reward for holding those prisoners no questions asked. The prisoners also not being able to testify against Bukele is a feature, not a bug.

Well, imagine that.

No, I'm serious, please America - imagine that. That's what we should be doing.

"I came in to negotiate peace between the armed home invader and the homeowner. Yes, the home invader killed a few members of the family, but when I pointed a second gun at the homeowner and demanded the homeowner give up their living room permanently to the invader, and also give me the bathroom, the homeowner wouldn't even compromise. At this point, I don't know what more I can do."

I'm in the US, where's my $10,000?

This guy is so awkward he can't even casus belli properly.

Trump brain: I clearly didn't use enough gasoline.

Words are failing me. Maybe if I could time travel 200 years into the future, and draw on the entirety of human linguistic progress, I might be able to express how repulsive Donald Trump is.

I don't know if we deserve better, but Ukraine certainly does.

Living through it day to day, I assume most people are just confused and unbalanced, but looking back at this historically, it's going to be so goddamn obvious.

Trump is *systematically* destroying ties with all of US's allies going back 70-80 years. There is no justification, not even "fentanyl" and "immigration" apply to most of the allies we're picking fights with. The only country safe from criticism is Russia.

To me there is no doubt what's happening, but it's incredibly discouraging that there doesn't seem to be a thing we can effectively do about it. American voters were offered a cyanide pill, told it was candy by a known conman and liar, and ate it despite us all shouting, "It's cyanide, don't be an idiot!"

Remember that one time when the US got in the way of peace when Britain invaded? Why were we so stubborn again? It's a mystery, but hopefully Ukraine doesn't repeat our mistakes.

It's a tough question but I don't think it's hypocritical.

A good government serves two roles: (a) to protect the *rights* of its citizens, and (b) to enact *policy* that is representative of its citizens (as shown by popular vote and opinion, usually). But no policy should be allowed to supersede a real right, no matter how popular.

So if a candidate is going to subjugate rights as a matter of policy, that government is right to bar them, even if that is undemocratic. Minds can differ on what rights have primacy, and how nuanced those rights are, but I think it's coherent.

I'd say that fighting off Russian invaders so your country can return to the peaceful state it was in is working towards peace.

Alternatively, has he asked Russia if it would just go home? Seems like another pretty efficient way to achieve peace.
