Hope you stocked up on masks, folks. Having Mr. Bear meat in charge of public health and Mr. Tariffs in charge of the economy if another pandemic occurs is going to be a wild ride and with a four year term minimum we’ll be strapped in for the duration.

From watching 90s movies and of course without reading anything but the headline, I’m going to guess the challenger is a dog. “Airbud: Hungary” here we go!

Oh thank Moses I was wondering when all the flood of people telling me to not have kids was gonna stop! /s

Maybe our bones will create a new layer in the Earth that’ll be covered over and the earths ecosystem will degenerate and eventually recreate itself billions of years later, leaving a future race of newly evolved, curious species to crawl out of the ensuing muck to find in us a great energy source trapped underground and drill it to the surface for use.

They need to address what people actually care for. Everyday costs.

Costs versus wages is a better metric to target. Costs always go up unless there’s deflation. Wages should go up to match.

You can be doing two things at once.

Obviously, war aide isn’t “for peace” which is what I was saying no to.

But who cares? You got your way nobody wanted to vote for Harris. Enjoy the celebration.

Nobody needed proof.

Lol quite the counterargument. 😆

Oh well, you’ve gotten your way Harris lost to Trump. I’m sure you’ll badger his supporters and push on him to end the war peacefully and won’t just spend all of your time writing up new Democrats bad and libs bad posts on lemmy.

No, they were trying to have peace talks with Netanyahu for peace.

Netanyahu was able to successfully run the clock out on them, and now they have close to zero leverage because even if Biden single-handedly impounded the funds for Israeli aide, they still have plenty of powder left to blow through and Trump will resume the flow of aide in two months.

Why would his attitude have to change with Harris vs his current attitude with Biden?

Because Biden and Harris and various other Democrats wanted peace and were genuinely concerned about the people in the region caught up in the conflict. Trump gives absolutely no shits about any of it and neither do Republicans who will allocate the funds because that’s how our government works.

Netanyahu was filibustering the peace process hoping for Trump to win while he ran out the clock. If he, like Putin, were forced to deal with Harris instead of Trump over the next four years his attitude would’ve changed after the results were announced.

This comment is terrible for a boatload of reasons but one of the funnier ones is that you’re talking about shifting blame from a group to an individual and then name two groups (last I checked the DNC isn’t one person).

I think it’s Woodward’s brand. Trump respects some brands even at his own detriment.

You are clueless about what it’s like to live in this country. Healthcare being largely a scam even if you have insurance is just one piece of the puzzle.

It’s not just exposure to political content that makes it not fun to live in America. It’s the never ending mountain of shit you deal with on a daily basis simply because you’re an American.

it doesn’t look like fun anymore.

It hasn’t really been fun to live in this country in nearly a decade, and that’s me speaking as someone sitting on the top of the privilege pile.

The country is basically 6 corporations dressed in a trench coat.

Cuz the video in question is as biased as fox news. Just into the opposite direction.

The video in this post is from a comedy show on comedy network.

It ads nothing to the political debate

As you continually do here with your “this adds nothing” and “this wastes electricity” posts.

If you don’t like the video or the show, here’s an idea: don’t watch it. You don’t live here so it isn’t even really for you, and you don’t seem to enjoy it much from your pissy moany comments.

Some of us have to live in this country where people make the absurd arguments refuted in the video about Trump, and some of us like to kick back with our feet up and blow off steam with a little mild humor about the absurdity of the political situation in this country.

Sure, “no man sets foot in the same river twice”, but that does nothing to argue against the preservation of cultural items.

Take music, for instance. I never feel the same way the second time listening to a song as I did the first time, but that doesn’t make the music less special or change anything about it at all, and it certainly does nothing to advance a hypothetical argument that music shouldn’t be recorded or that the recordings of it shouldn’t be preserved for future enjoyment or different audiences.

You might feel like it’s “everyone”, because you never hear anything the other side has to say.

Au contraire mon frere. I would posit that nobody that gives even a single iota of a shit about politics in this country hasn’t been exposed to what “the other side has to say”. I’d also venture to guess that the number of people who don’t give a single iota of shit about politics in this country that have also heard what “the other side has to say” is far above zero. There have even been studies (since you occasionally pretend to give a fuck about objectivity) confirming that Republicans who watch Fox News know less about Democrats than Democrats know about Republicans.

It’s kind of difficult to not “hear what the other side has to say” when half of your news media spends its time interviewing people on both sides of divisive issues such as “the vaccine question” or “is the earth round”, and the other half of your news media openly roots for and argues for Republican candidates.

I don’t think your message is ever received by anyone who disagrees. My question is what’s the point? This is a waste of electricity.

And you go down the thread posting shit like this. That’s also a waste of electricity. I guess humans are just wasteful. 🤷
