No, no, I was assured Hillary Clinton was Basically The Same as Trump and Both Sides Were Bad.

King Juan Carlos of Spain.

If it did, he could just outlaw felons from becoming President. SCOTUS doesn’t want that.

“I have ordered the military to detain Donald Trump in a Federal max security prison and destroy all ballots marked with his name on election day. This is not a change in the laws of our great nation, this is just an act that I am ordering to be performed in my official capacity as POTUS. God bless America.”

Solitary, for their protection.

Wow, and here I thought he was an old guy with a stutter getting flustered while a fascist fuckwad spewed inane garbage.

(wich is technically possible but would probably result in way more casualtys because hamas attacks fleeing civilians)

You do realize that Hamas are shithead terrorists, not Saturday morning cartoon villains, right?

But you putting Fighters as in Terrorists in quotes tells a story of its own.

The story it tells is that Israeli claims of accurate identification of Hamas militants is questionable at best.

You gotta need to source that claims, and by source i don’t want to see you taking the numbers of the hamas propaganda ministry or their Gaza health ministry, and i also don’t want to see any sources just repeating those numbers.

Is the IDF acceptable as a source? The IDF claimed 10-12,000 ‘fighters’ killed and a ~50% civilian casualty ratio - meaning by their own estimates, back in February, they’d killed 20-24,000 Gazans - or about 1-in-100 of the prewar Gazan population.

You are also kinda silent about the fact that Israel is literally self defending in a war not started by them.

I don’t give a fuck who started it. Genocide still isn’t an acceptable response. There’s a reason why support for Israel started high after Oct 7 and plummeted in the following months. And it’s not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.

While I’m aware of the ‘Lettergate’ scandal and have different conclusions than you on the matter, upon reflection, I’m being tetchy above and beyond even what I normally am because I’m in pain today. That’s no excuse for my dismissive rhetoric, and I do apologize.

And Israel isn’t doing genocide, they are just a little too reckless,

Literal genocidal rhetoric from Israel’s ruling government as they kill 1 out of every 100 Gazans alive before the start of the war.

Pretty sure they passed ‘reckless’ a while ago.

nobody is giving a F about turkey turning Syria and the region Kurdistan into wastelands because they want to eradicate the people there.

This may come as a shock, but discussions of Turkish attempts at genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kurds are actually quite a big deal amongst people who follow international politics.

No, because the people who like renewable energy are the same ones who are either:

A. Already voting for him

OR

B. Saying “It’s not enough!” and using that as a justification to usher fascism into power.

Lord.

Lol what? If you conquer a country’s capital, that country falls unless its government moves elsewhere and establishes a foothold which doesn’t happen often. When the Germans conquered Paris, the French government basically collapsed and from the Germans were able to take control and establish puppet governments.

Yeah, like when DC fell in the War of 1812, or when Moscow fell in Napoleon’s invasion, or when the Japanese took Nanking during the Second Sino-Japanese War, or-

Nobody thought that the Nazis were liberators.

See, this is the insane thing - many DID think of the Nazis as liberators. Numerous national independence movements were suddenly excited to collaborate after the start of Operation Barbarossa, for about all of three or four months, at which point it became apparent that the Nazis were even worse than the Soviets.

Those governments were Russian puppets. Russia was always a multi ethnic empire that favored Russians and oppressed the rest. There’s a reason why Stalin went through his “deportation” (read: genocide) plans. They weren’t good.

I’m not arguing that the Sovs were good. Far from it. My point is that there weren’t well-formed independence movements waiting in the wings to take power should the Soviet government falter - all power was tied up in the Party and its bureaucracy, and the only organized institutions capable of taking action would have been Soviet puppets who were ‘all-in’ on the Soviets by a mixture of clientism and purges. If Moscow fell, the idea that the Central Asian SSRs would suddenly turn, or lose their grip, just… doesn’t strike me as realistic.

I think it’s pretty clear given the context that I meant the rate of shipments accelerated

I wouldn’t say ‘pretty clear’, but if I misread it, I misread it.

OP is sealion arf arf

The ‘arf arf’ makes OP seem cute, though

One was generically anti-genocide, one was anti-genocide in the context of the Palestinian genocide, namely, critiquing the idea that just because LGBT rights amongst a people being genocided are less than stellar doesn’t mean that genociding them is okay or should be tolerated, even by LGBT folk.

Oh I’m sorry I should have said the past 3 months of your terminally online ass

Eight Biden posts over the course of three months - what a horrific torrent of spam! Lmao.

A personal screw you for putting Pakistan on the wrong rail for this one:

Aw, you think the Republican Party will be sweeter on Pakistan than the Democrats? How adorable.

It fucking stuns me that we still use coal in this day and age.

Not the biggest fan of the sub’s name myself.
