I mean it would be easy forMAGA to fake Trump’s death and say “he came back from the dead! Look! He’s actually Jesus!”

This would be funny if your hypothetical situation weren’t so easily faked.

The question he was answering was “why didn’t you tell your allies (like Japan) before attacking Iran?”

So his sarcastic answer of “why didn’t you tell the US before attacking us in WWII?” is dumb, tone deaf, and offensive.

Dumb because Japan and the US were enemies when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor… so why tf would the tell us beforehand? The question was “Why didn’t you tell your allies you were going to attack Iran,” not “Why didn’t you tell Iran you were going to attack Iran?”.

Tone deaf because he’s trying to making a joke in response to a serious question about war, and bringing up a sensitive topic between our two countries.

And offensive because he’s making it sound like Japan were the only ones who did awful things when we fought in WWII. Hot take probably, but the US did far more heinous things to Japan in WWII than they did to the US.

Ayahuasca helped me quit drinking. I was drinking 12-15 40ml servings of liquor per night for about 10 years. Tried to quit 4 times on my own, but always wound up giving in to the cravings again. I could feel death approaching, and decided to try Ayahuasca as a last ditch effort in 2022. I’ve been sober ever since, without even the slightest desire to drink. I also started a daily meditation practice, stopped prioritizing money over people, and stopped eating meat.

It completely changed my life, to put it mildly.

STOP CALLING THEM DETENTION CENTERS!

They are concentration camps.

US citizen who just finished immigrating to Japan 2 days ago. It took 8 months of planning and prep work, at least $50,000, and brought my wife and I to the edges of our sanity for the vast majority of those 8 months.

But we are finally free. Fuck ICE, fuck MAGA, and fuck Trump.

Watching someone play qwop for the first time is one of the finer joys in life. I’ve had so many belly laughs thanks to this game.

I think I got to 40m, but it took ages.

“Critics have expressed concerns about possible conflicts of interest“

This is the kind of pussyfooting from mainstream media that allows these blatantly corrupt, immoral, and illegal actions to continue and to escalate.

Just call it what it is: corruption. Plain and simple.

US citizen here, have been actively preparing for a permanent move to Japan with my Japanese citizen spouse, dual citizenship toddler, and our dog for the past 6 months. We are fortunate enough to have the money and legal pathway to do it, and it has still been one of the most stressful experiences (if not the most) of my life.

We’ve had to:

Sell our house, Sell our two cars, Get rid of all our belongings (gave most of them away because it’s just too time consuming to try and sell everything), Apply for a certificate of eligibility for my visa Apply for my visa, Get all the vaccinations and paperwork for our dog and wait 6 months after getting them done, Make arrangements for the dog’s overseas travel, Buy our airline tickets, Find an apartment in Japan without being able to see it in person, Find work in Japan, Find a preschool for our kid in Japan, Have to enter Japan within 3 months of my visa being issued (but NOT sooner than 180 days after the dog gets his 2nd rabies shot and bloodwork results), Etc.

And if we make a mistake on any one of those steps or get delayed and miss our 3-month window, we have to do half of the steps again.

All while continuing to work full time and with a move from our house to the apartment in the middle.

We are close to the finish line, but it has pushed us all to the absolute edges of our mental and physical limits. And again, we are extremely fortunate to have enough savings and equity in our home to even be able to try this…

For the average US citizen, I’d say it’s nearly impossible.
