Clearly a stone.

Man I miss 2012 (or whenever it was) and the “Ron Paul will make anime real” memes.

Trump literally said Reagan was “terrible on trade.”

There is no person so sacred, living or dead, that they won’t throw them under the bus in their quest to consolidate power and avoid responsibility for their actions.

I find they’re usually just cowards afraid to stand both feet on anything, and/or self-aware of their ignorance so they give the “both-sides” spiel because it sounds pithy and intelligent.

Its a problem with basically all the post-communist states. When the soviet world collapsed it left a lot of early computer professionals, if not outright intelligence officers, out in the cold, and many of them turned to crime to support themselves. That fostered the environment of hacking and scams that exists today.

The one time my steam account was getting hammered with access attempts, they were from Serbia.

I don’t think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.

Well…hopefully they’ll get chased. Just not for the same reasons.

“Western lies.”

“But America lynches negroes.”

It didn’t matter if a German citizen supported the Third Reich or didn’t care and just wanted to run his bakery. Bombs still fell on his town, foreign troops still fought through his streets.

That is a lot of manpower that could be used elsewhere, were they actually a public service.

I just want to find mushrooms in a forest

Well you’ll still be wanting to do that when the supply chain breaks down and you don’t know where your next meal will come from.

Its always guys that look like they extract peyote in their kitchen.

I mean didn’t this just pave the way for Rome to be ruled by one unaccountable autocrat or another for the next several hundred years?

I think the more pressing problem would be that SS would arrest Zelensky on the spot, if not put a 9mm hole in his head.

We on occasion have pointed in the right direction, but we have never, ever been the hero.

American Exceptionalism is something that will take decades to deprogram.

Another example of conservatives’ disdain for the poor causing them to horseshoe around into Keynesian economics.

Yeesh. So what’s an alternative?

They’re probably referring to the factions of islamofascists, zealots, whatever you wish to call them. The kinds of people who execute gays, nonbelievers, and apostates.

We have a voting system right now.

In two years time we likely will not.

We have political parties right now.

In the same sense that we still had a Titanic while its stern was hundreds of feet in the air.

You are playing yesterday’s game. You need to recognize the dire danger in front of you, and prepare and act accordingly.

They even kept the year, so uncreative

They just feel confident in their progress timeline, given recent events.
