Elon pretty much made all his money from government hand outs

Lefties love to lose. They’d rather see modern day Hitler win than someone who they disagree with on 30-80% of issues. Hell, they even go after Bernie sanders and he’s supposed to be one of the good ones. Nothing appeases these people.

Gavin is just acting like Trump.

You don’t get it

All hail God Emperor Gavin!

Leave it to Lemmy to hate everything and everyone while doing jackshit themselves.

Edit: I take it back, you do jack shit, you downvote people who call you out on it. Bunch of complainers. Go be the change you want to see in the world or shut up. Now’s the time for it.

Teacher had a relationship with a student. When he got caught, the court forbade him from having contact with the student. Some teachers went over to his house and caught him with the student anyway. He ended up in jail for a number of years.

I don’t recall homeless people being in Union station. There were maybe one or two within a block radius chilling on a sidewalk, but sending in the national guard for that is actually a joke. It doesn’t need the military. Maybe a few social workers.

How convenient to find this entity unconstitutional 90 years after it was founded. You’d think someone would’ve noticed earlier.

It’s really hard to look at

We’ve had progressive moments in this country though. That’s how we got national parks, labor laws, and social security.

I think people need to abandon the idea that we will go from being a far right country to a socialist or progressive one overnight. We didn’t get this far right in one election cycle, we crept this way over time. You want to see big progressive change? Start doing what you can to move the country left, but don’t do something out of spite that the country isn’t moving left fast enough that makes it more likely that the country moves right.

If Newsom is the candidate, vote for him. Then put a ton of pressure on him to enact meaningful progressive policy change. And elect as many progressives as you can to Congress. But, if a neoliberal is on the ballot against a fascist, show up and support the neoliberal. And, raise up and empower progressive media. And, actually get out there yourself and be part of all this.

Ok, what’s the point of posting an article from 2 years ago?

It should be 9. Extinct the mother fuckers.

You somehow missed my entire point. The Russians themselves aren’t a particularly self-motivated bunch. In order to make them fight, the army literally has to threaten to kill them. Behind their front line, they have another line of Russians that will shoot anyone who tries to retreat. Surrender? You’ll also be killed for that. Also, alcoholism is pretty rampant with soldiers frequently being drunk. You can find clips of them drunk driving their military vehicles online, even getting into accidents with each other.

The US army has also proven pretty capable against the Russians in recent battles in Syria — like the battle of Khasham. If the Russians can barely win against the Ukrainians, I think the US would pretty capably put Russia down. Add in all the expensive weaponry and the US could manage.

Because some dude named big balls got in a scuffle.

Why is this necessary again? Makes no damn sense. Imagine if Biden had deployed California’s national guard to Texas. You’d have a convoy of F-350s through the entire state of MAGA flag waving lunatics with ARs strapped to their chests.

The US and Europe can own Russian natural gas

Not sure why you find it funny. You’re not talking about a country of religious zealots like you find in the Middle East. You’re talking about a country full of drunks where half of all deaths for men are attributable to alcoholism. Add in that Ukraine has steadily ground down Russia’s supply of military hardware to the point where Russia is now pretty much a soft target. Russians are riding into battle on e-bikes now because they barely have any tanks left. Of the tanks that do remain, they’re circa 1940s and 50s.

Edit: or, downvote and say nothing because you haven’t got a response.

I lived in DC for 6 years and always wore my seatbelt. Never had any issues. I doubt a senator would be driving through the areas where you would have an issue too.

Trump has cards. Fuck up Russia. Make them squeal. Twist their arm, punch them in the nose with a few well placed missiles in Moscow.

Hell, flood the country with free Vodka and then invade Moscow. The US government can and should occupy Russia. We’d win easily. Why do we spend all this time negotiating with despots? It just makes them feel important.
