The entire nation (and the world) are indeed covered in the same mess, but that doesn’t change the fact that the swing state voters fully determined the outcome of that election. And if my own state’s representatives and governor are all Democrats already, there is literally nothing else that I...

A well-considered essay on the state of the left in the U.S.: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/where-does-a-liberal-go-from-here

Oh, FFS — yeah, let’s punish every American because enough nutters in 7 states tipped the balance toward Trump in the election. Outside my control, folks, and more calls to my already Democratic representatives in Congress won’t make a difference. Cancel the U.S. leg of the Maiden tour...

Not always. There was a marked shift in law enforcement training in the 1990s after drug dealers started using fully automatic weapons against the police, and the companies that made military vehicles and weaponry saw an opportunity to vastly expand their customer base by selling “less lethal”...

I don’t understand this comparison at all. If someone watched the available videos and thought it looked like the woman tried to hit the ICE officer, then this comment is completely reasonable, if snarky. To me it seems obvious that the woman panicked and was just trying to get away, but the...

It doesn’t matter how much sense that argument makes or doesn’t make, it’s still amazing!

In smaller-scale U.S. politics, Tim Walz has dropped out of the MN gubernatorial race in the face of this massive Somali fraud scandal that he’s nuts-deep in, and this is probably the end of his political career. Hallelujah. Amy Klobuchar, currently the #3 ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate...

Still a single report without any corroboration as far as I can tell, but if it’s true then it’s beyond vile and appalling.

It helps that they completely copied the structure of their first album in the process — but yes, the end result was still quite good.

Couldn’t find evidence otherwise, and he intends for it to last beyond his own presidency, so I would guess “yes”. At least the next office holder is likely to give Biden a portrait and probably have a historian redo all the plaques.

There are people who are unable to discuss Donald Trump with any semblance of objectivity, and just spin off into rants against him whenever his name is mentioned. These are fundamentally different from the people who make legitimate points against him, which is extremely easy to do, because...

Yeah, why bother saying anything at all if that’s all you can muster?

Oof. You have to wonder what was going on with their son to spur something like this.

What a good excuse to listen to them (or at least sample them) before voting, then!

And things were so calm and pleasant around here…

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to imply that — I was just agreeing with Rutte.

Rutte isn’t wrong. And Ukraine can’t last 3 more years waiting for a change in U.S. regime as long as Trump continues to play softball with Putin.

Bringing miraculous breast and butt implants to everyone he touches…?
