I was being a bit facetious, but yeah. It’s a pretty transparent ploy to get the birth rate up for as little money as possible. God forbid line doesn’t go up always and forever, for all eternity.

How about some of that socialism for the rest of us, and not just for breeders and soybean farmers?

Scheduling conflict. Can we do chloroform at lunch instead?

Negative stuff does come out from time to time, especially when Russia makes big advances, but the underdog effect means that Ukraine typically gets more attention and media coverage for their successful military operations. Russia has had scant few successes over the past few years so they are spreading propaganda that make them look as if they are winning which is getting picked up and parroted by Trump and other neo-fascists in the West.

I don’t want to be caught dead driving one of those fucking nazimobiles. I would not take one even if it were free.

lmao I can’t believe that line is actually in the description :D

Pope meets with JD Vance.

Says the Trump admin’s immigration policy is a grave sin.

Refuses to elaborate.

Dies.

Based Holiness.

It’s just speculation, but they’re saying it because nobody has ever been released from CECOT. It’s not unlikely that they are just murdering the inmates and pocketing the money that the United States is giving them, or not sufficiently protecting inmates from violence between other inmates.

Did you check under Krasnov?

US dollar in absolute freefall. Thursday is going to be a bloodbath when the market opens.

Russia and North Korea.

It’s official. We are the baddies now.

lmaoooo

Sorry to hear that, bud. If it’s any consolation, I think the media is making it seem like these sorts of events are more commonplace than they actually are, and the Trump administration is so incompetent that they are actually lagging far behind the Biden administration who set the record for most deportations in a single term.

That being said, it’s not the quantity, but the brazen unlawfulness of each and every one of these extrajudicial deportations that is the concerning part. We’re still only 2 months into this administration and it feels like a year has passed already with the absolute blitz of unlawful and corrupt conduct coming from the White House.

I’m not ready to give up the fight just yet, but I feel like true civil war is inevitable at this point unless by some miracle there are adults out there with the gumption to take the wheel back from Trump and Musk and start steering the ship in the right direction again while there’s still time.

Stay strong and keep your chin up. As long as your are prepared one step ahead of everyone else, you’ll likely be okay. Even if that’s just making sure you have a bag packed and ready to go at a moment’s notice.

her visa was revoked.

Without due process.

Fuck off, Nazi cunt. Blocked.

We have due process in this country. If you don’t like that, then fuck off.

This is horrifying. This person broke no laws. If Trump is doing this to valid green card holders for exercising their first amendment rights, then we are one degree of separation from Trump doing this to U.S. citizens who criticize him.

It’s only going to continue getting worse. Make an exit plan if you haven’t already.

Classism is present in Russia too.

I watched a couple of YouTube videos from a normal guy who lives in Russia talking about what it was actually like to live in Russia around the time that Tucker Carlson did that weird state visit and he peeled back a layer of intentional propaganda that the American journalist was spreading - that Russians are living in some kind of luxury paradise. Sure, everything costs less over there, but people are also paid a lot less too. If you’re working class, it’s hard to afford enough food to put on the table sometimes. The rich, however, are not hurting for anything and a lot of big brand labels that said they would exit Russia just rebranded themselves or quietly re-entered the market after all the commotion about the war died down.

“Evil attacks”, like we’re killing puppies, or something.

Leave the puppy killing to the expert, Kristi Noem.

Of course Ukraine has the right to defend itself, nobody is saying otherwise.

Article headline: “Ukraine Must Cede Territory in Any Peace Deal, Rubio Says”

Can’t exactly defend yourself when the people trying to broker peace on your behalf are forcing you to capitulate.

I dont know why you need a comparison in the first place.

Evidently, there are a LOT of people who don’t seem to understand just why the deal was so bad to begin with. Not you, of course, but some other comments in these Ukraine threads are either woefully uninformed or intentionally being obtuse about acknowledging facts.

And sorry about it being a series of Amerocentric examples, especially here in World News where it’s probably a bit taboo or tone deaf, but suffice to say it seems like the primary culprit behind much the willful ignorance are Americans with a narrow understanding of foreign affairs. I’m also just sticking to what I know so I don’t embarrass myself with my terrible geography.
