"Next time on...The White House.
Biden is furious at Pelosi for snubbing him, even after she promised they were besties . Pelosi can't even sleep she is so upset by what she had to do. But little do they know that Michelle Obama is determined to get her friends speaking again with a light weekend planned of bombing developing countries!"
I could probably make this into a streaming TV drama and it'd be better than half the stuff on streaming now.
I think this is extremely unlikely, the days of the government actually pushing back against corporations in any meaningful way in the US seems largely over.
Even if somehow it did go through, there would be functionally very little impact. They'd sulk a bit about the government stifling "innovation", walk away with their tail between their legs, and then go back to operating almost entirely unchanged.
There is nobody with more experience at being president of a wide array of countries!
But that loss will be mitigated by the remarkable thwarting of Mr. Putin’s original plan to take over Kyiv and destroy Ukraine as a nation.
What? That was never the stated objective. The whole three days to Kiev line didn't from Russia either. Russia never wanted to destroy Ukraine as a nation, though that may very well be the functional result thanks to NATO.
Imagine trying to spin "our opponent didn't destroy our capital!" as a victory when they weren't even trying to do that.
When I was very young (pre-middle school at the least) I briefly lived in the US south. I remember very little except how much nostalgia they have for the confederacy. My brother went to a private high school named after a confederate general which was created solely as a place for rich white families to send their kids when segregaton ended. The south is a wild thing. I would not be surprised if I saw Ukraine flags there if I ever went back.
I do not regret leaving that country a long long time ago.
Dude was apparnetly a chemical weapons specialist that had to find something to do in civilian life that didn't involve directly murdering innocents.
Seems like he has found his niche.
I love checking the byline on these opinion pieces.
The author is a member of the “Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong” and has based most of his career on fearmongering Tiananmen Square. He was banned from entering China years ago, so obviously is extremely unbiased.
Surprised they aren't trying to use HOI to simulate it
"“The closer individuals were to the trauma on October 7, the higher the risk” of addictive behaviors, it found."
Aa yes, the trauma of the people they were brutalizing for years upon years fighting back.
Or, more likely, they are trying to find refuge from the last vestiges of human conscience that remains to them in the wake of the genocide they are [at best] complicit in.
I think the context was a match that DPRK was competing against China, so he was trying to simultaneously (and ineffectively) offend both countries.
Not that it makes it any better, he just manages to be an asshole to multiple people at the same time, so he can get a pat on the head from people who won't ever accept him. I imagine most people were just confused by what this random asshole was doing.
I think he was kicked out and banned though, so that's something.
Sidenote, but eulogizing somebody with their twitter handle seems really...weird. I get it is their name in this case, but I would hope when I pass somebody can reference me without any @ or # or anything.
That one is one of my favorites.
Assuming that Russia would somehow benefit from cutting off the gas supply, why wouldn't they just...turn it off on their end? If they really wanted to make it permanent, why not destroy it on their end? Traveling out of their own territory just to blow up the pipeline in a high risk underwater covert ops mission in enemy territory as what...an elaborate false flag?
