I could very easily see Hilary pulling this trigger (or Obama or Bush for that matter).

If anything, I suspect Trump mismanagement of the occupation probably was what opened up diplomacy with Iran wide enough to convince Solemani that a visit was possible. The bombing (of Iraq's own airfield!) was just Trump trying to slam the door shut after the horse had left.

The nicest thing you can say about Donald Trump is that he's completely mercenary.

He'll turn on a dime if he sees advantage in a position and there's nobody he won't stab in the back given half an opportunity.

Biden is a fixture of US Foreign Policy. Trump is a Wild Card.

Home ownership in China still hoovering around 90%

But something something 15 minute cities something something COVID lockdown something something no freedom.

Should be noted that Mogwai are originally from China.

Therefore, the Cybertruck is an attempt by Elon to steal technology from overseas.

China targets 2030 for Mars sample return mission, potential landing areas revealed

Its curious to see how much more modest in statement the China missions happen to be. And yet, in practice, they are vastly more ambitious than what Elon offers. They're laying the groundwork for a real interplanetary expedition while Musk just spins new grifts on top of old ones.

Listen, all I'm saying is that Vladimir Putin is clearly a superior investor and maybe the Free Market has determined that he deserves to win.

When libs bring it up I usually engage in some 'whataboutism' and pivot to saying if they think that's an assault on democracy, what about CambridgeAnalytica, or worse, what about the fact that the US funnels EXORBITANT amounts of money into global media manipulation to destroy entire countries.

Who would win?

  • Several billion a year for decades, to fund Voice of America, as an international propaganda media project

  • $16,000 in Facebook ads two weeks before a general election.

Finding people who aren't trans, calling them trans, and then insisting they are attention seekers for being part of your TERF conspiracy theory.
