A single Junior staffer walks through the White House gawking at the empty frames where priceless art once hung and chuckles
"Joe did it again, that crazy bastard"
He pats the back of a despondent Secret Service agent
"Sorry man, he's in the wind. You'll never catch him now"
Biden leaving the white house, suddenly he's walking smoothly, fast even. He's doing a sudoku, he's talking on the phone boisterously, he lights a cigarette before getting into a limo, and like that, he's gone.

"Denazification" and "demilitarization" are not analytical categories, because they do not have clearly defined parameters by which one can determine the level of accomplishment or non-completion of the task."
Analyst speak for: "WTF WHO'S INSANE IDEA IS THIS"

It absolutely led to the resentment that fueled fascism.
This is not a question. They said this. The allied politicians admitted it. Historians take this for granted. What's your deal

No, but sometimes yes. The weight of the world was essentially in the hands of a twitter addict and his need for likes - just a few years ago.

A public debate is about the furthest kind of debate you can get from a scientific one.
The scientific one is ongoing in the literature, and people who have shown themselves masters at lying about it are better at camera angles
It would be a shame if Elon Musk's new PAC was given false data and spent money on that data. I hope no one goes to and fills out their form with all fake data
(make sure you choose an address and zip code in a swing state)

Absolutely. As did Muslims and Hindus etc etc. and atheists and other smart people with ambition and access to institutional support

NEW: Billionaire Elon Musk has created a PAC collecting voter data from those living in key states through an online "register to vote" form that does not directly register people to vote.
All of this in an effort to help Donald Trump become president.

I am still unconvinced that this wasn't some an act of rebellion by some ukrainian-sympathizing fsb agent.

Any surgeon would tell you that "genitalia" is simply a category of stuff between our legs that we use for sex. You're obviously trying to use this as an anti-trans wedge, which is dumb, because even if you deny 'transgenderism', genitalia has always been a vague term.

"There are no good Germans" is an easy thing to say in a philosophy class but it's pretty useless idea when it comes to holding individual people AND a system to account. No, not everyone knew. And obviously not everyone participated. So hold the rules firm for those that did

I will point out that Israel regularly holds Palestinian's under administrative detention and never gives them a trial. Do any mean the two groups are equal, but Israel isn't exactly Sweden

It is exactly the *opposite* of a conversation. The heckler is trying to force the candidate to address their concern. It's literally a power struggle through yelling

They both reference a Facebook post here:

My wife's grandfather (who just passed, God rest his soul) was the first in his family to ever attend college, and did so by - I sh!t you not - supplying the cafeteria with milk every morning from his family's dairy farm.
He then went on to help invent plastics at BF Goodrich

No. Perhaps companies or specific individuals with commercial interests in the DRC might want this, but the country is too chaotic, too poor, and too chronically unstable for it to be worth a significant diplomatic / international embarrassment

They don't usually say exactly that. They say something like "well, Ukraine has x/y/z problems and so Russia is justified in taking them over.
They don't mention the bodies that will be under those incoming tanks

I'd like to take a moment to genuinely acknowledge the people in the "deep state" who has been tiredly busting their asses off arranging the negotiations across the world and time zones.

I believe Pelosi is a leader for the ages.
However Turtle-face isn't to be denied some acknowledgement. His strategic ability to find and manipulate the pressure points not just in the Senate but in the entire governments' interactions with the Senate is uncanny and black magic

Especially the high-info Republicans/maga types; they see that demographic as essentially betraying their race and nation to the unworthy. As "giving in" to their guilt/weakness in order to appease the leftists. And so they despite them.
Unhealthy mindset imo 🤷

They do tons of stuff that matters, just not everything you'd like. And fundamentally this is about you not getting your every wish, and being upset about it.

The nation-wide "soft strike" by police has been both one of the most cynical and cowardly social changes I've seen in my life time. Entire PDs unofficially agreeing to just let crime go because "the libs are against us" or something.
