He added: "I walked outside and I screamed 'freedom' at the top of my lungs and then gave a good Native American war cry."

I hate white people so much

If Israel is still around in 300 years you'll have Israelis saying the same thing about being spiritual Palestinians.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 48 points 1 day ago

It probably won't even take 300 years. They already claim foods that aren't theirs - like hummus and shakshuka

[-] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm embarrassed to admit that I thought shakshuka had Jewish origins until I read this.

Edit: of course, it still might. At least whoever told me that didn't specifically say it was an Israeli dish, so that's good I guess.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm not knowledgeable enough to say it doesn't have Jewish origins. It was probably brought to Israel by North African Jews in recent history, but it's definitely not Israeli in origin.

Edit: just clarifying to separate the equivalence between Jewish and Israeli - those are two different things

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Could have Jewish origins. Definitely does not have Israeli origins

ok, I gotta admit, I did miss jibberish like this.

In a news conference on Tuesday at the White House, he said: "These people have already served years in prison, and they've served them viciously.

Biden's gibberish was weird and sad. Trump's is weird and childish/magical.

Amazing how both the SU's and the USA's terminal gerontocracies mimic their collapse.

The SU had people in their 60s and early 70s, worn down early from decades of constant struggle and siege, falling apart from exhaustion.

The USA has increasingly senile racist misogynynistic members of the ruling class. Pushing out sentences increasingly disconnected with reality as their ideology slips away from material conditions. Lashing out internationally randomly to maintain control. And increasingly domestically as the sphere of action shrinks.

The SU had successive heart attacks. The USA is sundowning.

I think our Yeltsin is gonna be Greg Abbot or Gavin Newsom, but who do you think will be the Gorbachev that gets brought in to do reform and ends up cracking the whole thing open?

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Here's how Bernie can still win
spoiler It's her turn
And by her I mean AOC

Obama was Gorbachev (at least superficially, not implying Obama actually did anything but people sure do think he did).

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

Honestly, I think that's Trump. With the caveat that he's been brought in to crack the whole thing open in a way that will certainly fail. And the attempts at unjamming the situation will crack it open in a far more serious way.

The other answer is Bill Clinton.

I think "Ooh Earth Rider" has some magic to it

Wow gotta hand it to her. Her reasoning is lib as fuck and I woulda just taken the pardon but that's an impressive level of self reflection for a MAGA boomer.

Well her sentence was only 60 days. I imagine it would've been different had it been 20 years.

Owned.

I'm not sure who got owned, but someone was just owned.

You can do that? Can I just go live at a prison?

Yes, first commit a petty crime
