Trump made them believe that they were out of touch (which they were), but instead of doing any sort of introspection, they decided that it meant they had to get more right wing and thus began to hunt for the same type of right wing freaks as the National Review. Coincidentally, those people all hated Trump, but agreed with him on every piece of policy so you ended up with a bunch of right wingers who were even more out of touch than the pre-trump team.

You can't really do anything to improve local politics in LA because it's utterly dominated by real estate interest groups, and also because the cops in LA need to get put in a denazification camp. Like the entire institution of policing is bad, but LA cops are genuinely insane.

The difference is that the UK doesn't have year-round temperatures of 29 degrees celcius. You can get away with not sheltering people in the UK because the weather (usually) won't kill them.

A country who seemingly jumps from economic crisis to economic crisis, with no respite, and who's economy is so utterly dominated by large landowners that it mirrors the antebellum South, is planning on cutting all ties to its 2nd biggest trading partner, whom they import more from than any other singular nation.

Also, wasn't a whole bunch of previously russian ships suddenly being registered in Greece? Or am I thinking ofn something else? I just remember the whole "shadow fleet" thing was a major concern shortly after the sanctions on maritime insurance.

Probably the closest you will find is a bunch of people (including yours truly) who commented during the very brief takeover period in 2021 that was genuinely incredible that the US had managed to create 0 effective government after propping up a puppet for 20 years. People were looking at it like with a certain level of schadenfreude and bemoaning the fact that the entire occupation was for naught, except allowing local opium growers time to export their goods to the big pharmaceutical companies, which probably helped cause the opiod crises that is ravaging poor, rural areas.

To me it seems like he is saying "Nobody should be made homeless for being gay/trans/other identify-related reasons, however if they are made homeless for reasons of poverty I want the cops to use a railgun to remove them"

Is that the tank that is so heavy that it has to function as a submarine if Ukraine is ever going to cross a body of water wider than a stream?

Is he literally making the argument that Ukraine has more soldiers than Russia has bullets/fuel for their aircraft?

A friend of mine works with a lithuanian lady who is either doing a phd or already completed it (I'm bringing this up because I want to show that her brainworms go extremely deep and also that formal education on europe is dogshit), and she keeps complaining about seeing young people being "into" communism and making the nazi equivalence. I told said friend that anyone who talks about how nice the Germans were and how mean the soviets were, probably should be questioned about what exactly their family did that made the Germans so amendable.

Isn't Hawaii literally the Bluest state in the entire country? Like the Democrats win Hawaii with such margins that you'd think they would do something with it, but somehow all that amounts to is the dems giving blowjobs to hotel owners.
