So if Warren wants to do the morally correct thing why doesn’t he hire assassins to kill the bad billionaires?

Most people prefer to stay out of prison.

All billionaires deserve the vast majority of their wealth to be seized, but I vote we spare this one the guillotine.

Spend some time watching the MAGA media ecosystem

I have. I have family, some of whom I lived with during some of the MAGA years.

He’s no less pathetic there.

At some point, you have to accept that people legitimately love the bullshit spewing out of his mouth. The people who go to his rallies and watch him live, no intermediaries, fall over themselves with adoration.

“W-when I specifically asked you not to…?”

Trump is incredibly weak. It blows my mind that anyone looks at that slug and sees anything other than a despicable, pathetic cretin.

It’s a constant fight against taking that one last step.

“What the fuck is going on, are you fucking stupid”

“Yes, finally, they’re reaching out to us for negotiations!”

And still supporting him now, no doubt.

“We haven’t seen anything like this” says demographic hit hard by something like this by the same exact fuckwit a few years ago.

It’s so crazy to blink past tanking indexes in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Dubai while pumping a fist and announcing “Fuck yeah! We got Russia!”

When the US suffers along with the rest of the world: “YES! Take THAT Amerikkkan Empire!”

When Russia suffers along with the rest of the world: “W-we shouldn’t celebrate… t-think of everyone else who’s being hurt…”

Curious, the difference in reactions to the exact same fucking crisis.

lmao, when Krasnov’s stupidity manages to hurt Russia even when he excludes them from sanctions.

only in Africa (see the answer in AskHistorians)

While my answer was related to Africa, as that’s where I’m most familiar with a paucity of study and an excess of material, I’d bet even money that there are plenty of other non-European (and outside of the Americas) collections that have yet to be fully catalogued, especially in the Islamic World and India. I just couldn’t swear to it or name any regions in particular to look into.

That’s one hell of a fucking take.

Not sure about the wisdom of making the move to the US in current circumstances, but the Green Card Lotto is where many start.

I voted against this. I’m still thrilled to hear it.

Look, I’m not saying it would be right.

But if some Danish Viking girls want to sail upriver, plunder and burn my city, and carry me off as American war booty, given how this fucking country is going, I won’t object.

Merit is generally the superior of the two. Seniority should only really be preferred if:

• The performance of the task at hand is more dependent on pre-established connections and the like - ie a very knowledgeable and charismatic but new diplomat might actually be a worse choice for a given job than a rather boring and mid-tier diplomat who nonetheless has a lot of long-standing relationships in the area.

• There is an issue of systemic rules in an institution where merit is not always the top concern, or not easily and clearly discerned - such as legislative committee appointments. “The best person is the most qualified for the top job” is a nice thought, but raises questions of “How do you figure out who is the best person?” and “The people didn’t send the best person, they sent this fellow to represent their interests.”

Office Space

Fucking Christ. This timeline gets stupider and stupider.

Dammit, that’s too fantastic to NOT be an idiom
