Hypocrisy, like I said. I know it’s an oxymoron, you know it’s an oxymoron, but that doesn’t stop them from co-opting the term and confusing people.

Johnson would be better but his Mr Bean act is totally on purpose. He acts like that so you wouldn’t think him capable of far right cruelty. I’ve read that he even intentionally messes up his hair before he goes in front of cameras.

If we treat the new testament as Jesus fan fiction, then a lot of their shit is fan fiction of the fan fiction. Stuff like the rapture is not in the bible.

Anarcho-capitalists have been around for a long time. I think they usually call themselves libertarian.

I get the hypocrisy, but they don’t.

I don’t think they’ve actually approved a war since Korea. They ceded that power to the president. Congress never declared war on Vietnam, Iraq x2, or Afghanistan. And that’s just the big ones.

Notice how 90% of them disappeared after the election?

I suspect it was planned out. He “jokingly” says he wanted to buy twitter. Courts say it was a legitimate offer and he has to go through with it. He protested for a moment then says oh well, ya got me. Commence purges that likely had to do with political beliefs, then here we are, buying the president of the USA for 1/176th the price of twitter. I’m just rambling here but where’s the missing piece? Or is it just that cut and dry?

Move to West Virginia, we need more people like you. I just got a beautiful Serbian made AK, all I had to do was wait for it to be shipped over and pick it up at my local gun shop. 15 minutes for the background check which is essentially no felonies, because I have an extensive misdemeanor record from when I was young and wild. All I had to do was listen to the workers and customers spout bullshit conspiracy theories and talk about the latest Joe Rogan episode. Small price to pay.

Even my wife, who was previously anti-gun, bought a 9mm. Interesting times.

The EU just announced $730 billion in war materiel for Ukraine. This is double what the US contributed over three years.

As far as I can tell, Trump has only been right about a single thing, that Europe needs to spend more money on military.

Looks like it’s blowing up in his face and it’s going to fuck him out of selling Ukraine to Russia.

The Art of the Deal

That conjured a great mental image for me of old man Putin setting out little bowls for neighborhood cats with the faces of Elon and Trump.

I’ve heard it said that Putin is actually the world’s richest man, worth over $1 trillion. I could believe it.

Also the reason why Saudis funded it. They want a piece of the post truth pie. But why did Elon even bother with the Saudi money? Is it as simple as wanting to keep the high score?

He paid $44 billion for twitter (of his and others’ money) but the presidency of the richest country on earth only cost $250 million? It doesn’t add up at all.

I often wonder how it goes behind closed doors. Is Zelenskyy all polite or is he more like you’re full of shit and you fucking know it?

Is you is, or is you ain’t my constituency?

OKAAAY

I have ADHD and sometimes can’t focus to do more brain intensive work if I’m in a room with a bunch of people talking. Street/background noise doesn’t bother me at all. I grew up suburb rural adjacent but I’ve worked in huge cities for long periods and it just doesn’t bother me like six people having two conversations would.

Agreed. What is/was your position in government? If you don’t mind to say just keep it very general or vague. I didn’t know someone who gets it was in any office in the US.

I agree with you that it’s sad and insulting. Europe and the US were about tied in support, with the US slightly higher. That is until today, when the EU announced a new $732 billion in support and war material. Go EU! Fantastic news. That’s almost double what has already been sent in total by all countries over the past three years.

Olaf Scholz just announced the EU will be donating $732 billion of war materiel to Ukraine. I’m so happy about this. They’re not going to let the US sell Ukraine out.

I wish I lived in the EU so badly.

My state is trying to rename our tallest mountain Trump Mountain. I wish I was kidding.

They didn’t disclose any diagnosis or medication, just some psycho behavior they witnessed.
