Nah, some of them can swim

You mean the shitty games? Oh no…

That’s a very interesting article but does 2019 qualify as “the other day”?

Who gives a fuck about showing the Nazis civility? Punch them in the dicks and take their shit

“The bombings will continue until peace is achieved” is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard Trump say, and that is saying a lot

That kind of thing is funny if done infrequently but annoying if it’s all the time. I hope your friend does actually laugh a good chunk of the time

A ton. Where have you been the last 20 years?

Why would greedy men give up an easy way to make money?

I know, the article says specifically “sampled his DNA”. That is not biometrics unless this author has no idea what those words mean.

Sampled his DNA? WTF is that for? Nobody has a DNA lock on their phone.

To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

How is this argument different from “it’s not the governments job to provide healthcare / education / social services”

Asked on CNN this morning whether Democrats were going to see to the unredacted files, Raskin said, “Absolutely.”

“We sent them a letter and so we’re demanding a right to do it. I hope the Department of Justice will keep its word and let us in there.”

Holy shit guys, they sent a letter. We got em now.

I could not muster a weaker response if I tried.

The point is that you don’t casually go about your routine during a civil war

IIRC they moved Ross out of state. So yes, he’s not in jail but he’s not exactly lounging at home either.

I don’t think IT guy, or at least the equivalent people in my life, would be supportive to the point that they would actively involve themselves in a shooting war in support of Trump, which is what this hypothetical scenario would turn into.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about conservatives it’s that they will start to pay attention once something impacts them personally. They are fine with the lies when it’s about some abstract person some other place but when it involves someone they know or happens in their town they will change their tune quickly. Of course not all of them but enough to matter. These kinds of people prioritize familiarity and perceived stability over just about anything else. As long as things are stable enough that they can maintain most of their routines they won’t think too deeply about anything. This kind of event, and the ensuing chaos, would force them to take a deeper look at things in a way that they’re currently too comfortable to be forced to confront.

Chuck Schumer is not the main problem. He was elected Senate minority leader by the rest of the Democrats in the Senate and he could be removed by the rest of the Democrats in the Senate if they wanted to. The problem is that they don’t want to because they support what he’s doing.

I like jokes. Speaking of, wouldn’t it be a hilarious prank if we all went to find these fascists and dragged them into the streets? Oh man, what a hoot that would be! I bet everyone would love it

Let’s get it boys and girls. I’m ready

That’s cool but is also a rather useless description of the situation. If you add up the contributions from the top 15 military spenders in NATO (excluding the US) you get about half of what the US spends. The US dominates military spending in Europe no matter how you slice it.

If you want to reduce military reliance on the US, which you unequivocally should do, it will require either significant investments in defense or the acceptance of a significant reduction in military assets and preparedness for the EU as a whole.
