Gotta say, the US Army has made major progress.
50 years ago our weakness was really any STDs whatsoever.
I think you need to come have a visit to a big blue city and learn how hard your blue lives Democrats will drive your mouth into the curb given half a chance.
I lived in many blue cities.
You're out of your fucking mind, and you've definitely never lived in a small southern town where the sheriff is judge, jury and executioner, literally.
Harris spent the last three month trying to win those Proud Boys’ votes.
Seriously?
Then stop treating it like one.
Motherfucker, sent my family including my interracial daughter out of the country.
God damn you are such a worthless, privileged piece of shit.
Dude you have problems.
Trump literally told the proud boys to stand by, called neo-nazis "good people" and I just don't even get where you're going.
Politics isn't a sport, and the fuckers who didn't vote deserve the blame because people will be hurt.
You're the one who seems to be trying to make it a game.
You’ll never outrun the propaganda, particularly when you’re as much a vector for it as a victim of it.
Mother-fucker, I outran literal rednecks with bats, I lived there, what the fucking fuck?!
Are you serious? You genuinely believe it isn't that bad?
What do you think it's like?!!?!
Must be easy to say that when you don't have all the rednecks in the country organizing to cleanse you.
I escaped the south once, now I have to escape the country.
But sure, this is all a cute joke to you, you fucking shit.
Ignorant moron.

Seriously, as a brown person, shut the fucking fuck up! You have no idea what living in this country under republicans is like, you can't begin to imagine it and you need to take your privileged dick out of your overprivileged ass and realize what many of us are going to have to face now.
Literally have the KKK reforming in anticipation of his inauguration, it's "good people on both sides" all over again.
Because my country is populated by worthless inbred trash that fall for something so simple as "Hey! Look over there!"
Jim Crow.
The south still has similar voting restrictions, it's just the supreme court stopped caring and said 'sure, whatevs'.
Listen, as a brown person in America, just be honest.
You caea about the genocide of brown people elsewhere, just not here.
It's OK, the vote is over, you don't have to deny it anymore, we get it, it's not like we're surprised or anything, it's basically America's legacy.
The shocking part?
We thought you at least cared about women, but you're literally no better than the racist sexist fascist neoconfederates that are proud to vote Trump.
Just be honest with your words, your actions already spoke the truth.
Seriously, fucking racist as fuck 'left'.
We're going to have a genocide of brown people right here, but they don't give the slightest shit.
Dude, fucking spoiler alert man, wtf?
Hey, easy there.
They also don't give a shit about the genocide of Mexicans in America either.
I wouldn't normally consider antisemitism, but maybe that's why they only care about Palestinians and literally nobody else. Or maybe it's just their own special version of racism.
As a brown person in America they clearly don't care about genocide here.
Maybe it's like champagne, it's only genocide when in the genocide region of Israel, when Russia does it it's just sparkling ethnic cleansing.
Putin says "Deeper"
Trump says "Hlaotheep-larg-larg?"
We will have peace for our time.
Rural island off the coast of a european country:
10g fiber for $65/mo (I don't even think they cared, I asked for more and I think they made up a number).
House literally down the street from google in silicon valley:
Comcrap $100 for shit cable, I'm paying $250 for actual upload speed.
This country is ruled by the corrupt.
This isn't blackmail, this is just expressing clear dominance.
The blackmail happens behind closed doors, and blackmail is such an ugly word: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG6vgzAswgE
Conspiracy (2001) - The art of theater.
The script is nothing to write home about, largely adapted from the meeting transcripts.
The setting is fixed and fairly limited, painting a backdrop but only just, powerful men desiring comfort besieged by winter.
The acting is art beyond anything I've seen elsewhere, each character responds to the next, you see and are absorbed by the mundanity of the interactions, the basic dynamics of a corporate meeting, while the underlying impact screams in your brain.
They took the dry meeting notes (https://holocaust.umd.umich.edu/news/uploads/WanseeProtocols.pdf) and made a drama that shocks you with the ultimate banality of evil, exactly as imagined by Hannah Arendt.
This just came to me today, we all write our own narratives for what we do, and watching Heydrich, the ambitious patriot trying to clear the way for his country's deserved greatness, the bureaucrats trying to slither amongst the politics, the soldiers merely looking for leadership, and the diplomats and lawyers merely trying to keep the blood off their cuffs.
Meanwhile, Eichmann takes his orders and follows them with the obedience and competence of a well-disciplined soldier...
That’s a nice fantasy, fascists being incapable of reading and therefore incapable of invading other countries and killing people.
Where do you think the American fascists came from?
https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691172422/hitlers-american-model
He used the Jim Crow south as his model for Germany, and after the war, black GIs came back from liberating Europe to be lynched by Southern law enforcement.
They are our fascists, through and through, always have been.
I think you didn't understand the question yourself.
As a father of a daughter, that's the best choice.
The bear might have eaten recently, I'd rather risk that than the alternative.
Men are so utterly broken, have been forever.
Fake 'Leftists'
I'm sure this won't end up just like the GOP immigrant caravans of ms-13 and disappear right after the election.
Former US president confuses his illiberal leaders.
I mean, sure, at this point why not?
Amazon sold bottles of urine marketed as an energy drink, a new documentary alleges. The company is said to make it alarmingly easy to sell dangerous items to children.
Latest news and live updates after the House voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker. The vote was prompted by a motion by Matt Gaetz.
Lawyers for the former president proposed using “a previously approved facility at or near his residence” — presumably Mar-a-Lago — instead of a secure location run by the federal courts.
Your honor, I would like the opportunity to interview the underaged girl accusing me of rape, privately in my basement, so we can try to reenact the crime and confirm her testamony.

A revised indictment details his unusual handling of classified documents.
>The property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, is now also charged in the case. He told a Mar-a-Lago information technology expert that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” according to the revised indictment. After the employee said he did not know how to delete the footage, or whether he had the right to do so, De Oliveira restated the request from “the boss” and asked, “What are we going to do?”
This reads like AI plagiarized The Onion.
GOP abortion revolt swells against McCarthy spending bill
Moderates in Biden won seats are pushing to ease the abortion restrictions in the spending bill.
Interesting, puts McCarthy in a really tough spot though.
Morgan Stanley is crediting President Biden’s economic policies with driving an unexpected surge in the U.S. economy that is so significant that the bank was forced to make a “sizable upward revision” to its estimates for U.S. gross domestic product, CNBC reports.As a result of these unexp
Cross-posting from news. Weird to see this kind of endorsement.
I personally consider Biden a fiscal-moderate even if his social agenda is further (but not outrageously) left. Still an odd source of support.
A federal jury in Miami on Wednesday found a Florida family guilty of defrauding the United States by distributing a toxic bleaching agent as a Covid-19 cure, according to court records.
A Florida community has a plan to try to slow the growth of the birds that thrill some people and annoy others.

The nuclear-armed state launched two short-range ballistic missiles Wednesday, but remained silent on the status of Pvt. 2nd Class Travis King.
Posting because he was a 23-year-old pv2, thats... sad. Maybe don't let people out of prison to go home to face a disciplinary hearing without an escort?
As a note: the pfc promotion is generally automatic after 1 year and often out of basic if you can follow simple directions.
BTW I'm assuming he wasn't a spc or cpl or something and busted down, but we should also try to keep out worse performing soldiers away from the crazy nuclear state, because if he'd managed to have a weapon somehow this conversation would be less odd.
A 3-year-old driving a golf cart struck and killed a 7-year-old on Monday afternoon in Fort Myers, Florida, according to a news release from the Florida Highway Patrol.
