Tbf, the whole thing WOULD be much funnier (and less embarrassing) with Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles playing the parts of the two doddering billionaire idiots and Aisha Tyler moderating 🤷

Nice! 😄

Aaand there goes dozens of hours of my life, probably! Thanks! 😄

First things first: this should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Japanese politics. It’s been a far right genocide denying shit show for roughly ever.

Secondly, “finalizing plans not to recognize Palestine for the time being” sounds like the epitome of bureaucratic time wasting 😄

“Can’t talk, too busy! I’m hard at work planning for not doing a thing right now!”

Because some people are jerks who don’t want better people to enjoy life. Especially out of touch billionaires like Seinfeld.

Fuck it.

You’re clearly either willfully obtuse or incapable of understanding a simple point no matter how many times I repeat and rephrase it, so I’ll stop wasting my time on you.

Have the day you deserve.

Again, “your pessimistic expectations” ≠ “inescapable reality”.

For the third and last time: by equating “hasn’t happened” with “can’t happen”, thereby pissing in the cereal of anyone who wants to believe that Mamdani might actually be the real deal.

So you’re just being an asshole

Nope, that’s you. I’m the one pointing it out.

My criticism was of you equating “hasn’t happened” with “can’t happen”.

“Admitting” that you were wrong after the fact is useless in that context and insisting on your fallacy until then is WORSE than useless.

You’ll change your stance that it can’t happen because it has never happened when it has happened?

How brave! 🙄

No one has ever been a nation leader and arrested in another country on charges before

No Ugandan-born Muslim anti-zionist Democratic Socialist has ever been mayor of New York before either. A lack of precedent doesn’t make either impossible no matter how many people used to think so.

Only sections of their bible carefully cherry picked by their leaders. Otherwise you risk independent thought.

Russia might be, but that bar is lower than the Mariana Trench tbh…

I mean, the mere fact that you have to reach for two of the most poverty stricken and lacking in natural resources countries in the world to compare with literally the richest country in this world in both money and natural resources is in itself pretty damn indicative of the failure of the US system to guard from giving the incompetent and the thoroughly corrupt all of the power.

The US public has been protesting pretty much non stop since the 60s.

Their politicians have responded not by addressing the grievances of the people, but by increasingly criminalizing nonviolent protest to the point that it’s often classified as literal terrorism.

To call the US system a representative democracy is naive to the point of being downright farcical and has been for several decades.

Is it just me or is drawing out a supreme court ruling like the results episode of a tv talent show a really weird way to deal with an attempted coup?

Headline: insinuates that it’s a legitimate attack only on Hamas leaders*

Article body: 6 dead, none of them Hamas leaders according to Hamas.

*which is itself bullshit. Hamas isn’t just a terrorist organization, it’s also the government of Gaza.

Say what you will about the politics of said government, but even if only those leaders were targeted and killed, assassinating politicians and diplomats in a neutral third country is some REALLY fucking blatant war criming!

To distract from how their awful food made you cover your yard in vomit 🤝

You mean like when you cover your yard in vomit?
