You need to escort it through a very large minefield to designated spot or it will explode obliterating everything.

Yes, religions have been indoctrinating people of all genders against the right to abortion, that’s what religions do. But I guess he doesn’t mean that.

JD Vance is openly looking into zoophilic porn and republicans don’t mind it.

How to scam an artist out of half of his royalties.

feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before

Except the Soviet Union during WW2. But we all know Trump is on the wrong side of that one too.

Across the globe is a stretch. They are 5% cheaper year over year in the EU and the recent week over week is within the norm for seasonal changes.

You fail to consider that she has him by the balls (and for once this is not figurative).

Dear Americans, when figuring out which US poltician is considered a laughing stock in the rest of the world, check which one was enough of a clown to get a joke reply from the German government.

The initial phase of colonisation in Africa (until the 17th century) involved mostly religious propaganda, unequal trade and miltary alliances with existing political powers in Africa. Look, for example, how Portugal, and later the Netherlands, slowly eroded the sovereignty of the Kindgom of Kongo and compare it to what China is doing today.

TLDR: African leaders are making the exact same mistakes with China as their predecessors did with the European powers.

You know, there’s plenty of Syrian refugees that have skills France actually needs and also learned how to speak French and are not cozying up with criminals and dictators. I wonder why Macron doesn’t give them French nationality.

From talking with them there are two, correlated, factors. The most superficial one is that they suffer from extreme geopolitical Manichaeism, in that they view the US as absolutely evil and everyone that has an adversarial relationship with the US as good. The other is that they have Russia inherited the Soviet intelligent apparatus, and this includes the people that built long term relationships with communist party members and supporters, and this allows Russia to manipulate them easily, since they refuse to accept comrade Alexey who pretends to be their friend is actually agent Ivan from the FSB and doesn’t give a fuck about them.

It’s run by a Portuguese fascist, and, while the Portuguese extreme-right is friendly with Orban in general, the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

Please tell me the primary is FPTP.

The question is how many of those voters would vote on a Democratic ticket led by a black woman in the first place. One of the most common errors in politics is trying to go after the core voters of the other side - usually framed as going after the moderates - instead of mobilising their own base. One of things that makes Trump dangerous is that he makes no such mistake.

The little Trump says about it shows he wants to run external affairs and defense as the world’s biggest protection racket.

How does Biden right now? She’s already fully factored in when people think about Biden anyway.

And to answer your question, the Ipsos poll from July 2 puts her within one point of Trump which is actually much better than Biden right now.

The current vice president, who also is the vice presidential candidate, and who Biden’s campaign itself says is qualified to replace him if he’s incapacitated? You know, the one that’s already effectively a candidate for the presidency because no one believes Biden will last 4 years?

He won’t and they factored that in the decision. If you apply Pascal’s Wager to state institutions, fascists always win if they manage to weaken the democratic safe guards, exactly because no one will go after them, but the minute they get the power they will go after everyone else.
