I’m not touching this because what can I say at this point but caught this line:

There’s irony in Putin’s Ukraine war. If the dictator wasn’t so intent on pointlessly expanding Russia’s 11-time-zone border…

China stay winning.

What happened? I missed it.

Anything bad or “bad” that happened in the last 8 years will be remembered as Trump’s fault. Remember when he botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan and student loan forgiveness and the final round of Covid checks that we never got.

more dollarisation is never going to overturn the current system and world order. Only de-dollarisation can do that.

If you can’t beat em, join em is stage 1 Dengism. (Or how to win at capitalism.) Will we / When will we see stage 2?

I love pie so freakin much. My current thing is apple hand pies. Send help.

Not a fan of pecan pie, it’s syrupy sweet.

+1 for anything rhubarb.

Homemade cherry pie is my favorite.

In a proximate tier of liberal smugness, Sam Harris and Bill Maher have done damage.

When anyone mentions (Trump) tariffs irl I’m like, I already couldn’t buy a Chinese EV under Biden.

Good for you. That is huge. That’s cool you are keeping doing things. That was and is a hard one for me but I would feel a lot better than not doing things. Substances work until they don’t. Not sustainable IME.

Me being conspiracy brained. He’s moving out of the strike zone as he crosses Putin’s red line.

But when Russia and North Korea do it it’s bad. /s I realize it’s not comparable - this is actually disgustingly horrible and won’t make even make it the it into what passes for US news slop.

He is the second happiest person. Now I’m wondering who she voted for.

Yeah that was terrible. She was getting crap in HB too.

We can and should do better. I was surprised by the lack of Cuba news during the big outage, but I miss a lot, so maybe I missed comments/posts about it.

I’m sorry to say I do appreciate the Trump posts too - or some of them anyway - I learned about most of the appointments in this news thread.

Look at the url.

The display name is distinct from the actual comm name.

Okay yeah. After you put it in my head it really looked like it in the vid. Plus I’m on my phone.

Thanks for the laughs. This line cracked me up. I read it in Hexbear editor voice.

Trump is suffering from dementia, and will likely be removed by Vance at some point.

I need that on a t-shirt.

I think you’re correct generally and specifically in this case. Journos are also entranced by / beholden to polite society narrative and the going narrative is that Trump feels kinship with strong (lol in Zely’s case) world leaders. Admittedly it’s backwards here because Z is (was?) the lib darling but I guess that’s why it’s begrudging, lol.

Generally speaking, there is the public show and what actually happens.

Everyone involved at a certain level knows what’s up.
