It's deeply funny that Trump managed to sabotage these conservative parties that would have done whatever he wanted , just because Canadian and Australian politicians still have the political instincts to say "fuck you" when a US president tells them to hand over their lunch money and then kiss his ass.

Somehow, European politicians still haven't figured out that one neat trick.

We thought digital archives would be useless because people in the future would likely not have the technology to access them. How many computers even have CD players or floppy disk drives anymore? Turns out they will also be useless because they're full of AI generated garbage.

Meanwhile, archival paper lasts three centuries minimum. Much longer if it's stored well.

It's amazing how the US is so eager to rip up the entire international order that it benefits from just to prop up Israel in the short term.

It's so funny to me that the centrist liberals can see the ground collapsing beneath them, but instead of spending any money on higher wages or building more housing, or doing anything at all to improve material conditions, they're going with this pointless bullshit.

Liberalism hasn't been a fighting religion for nearly a century now. No one is ever going to be inspired to fight for the collapsing status quo and the "common defense of the Constitution" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean) when half the country thinks the Feds are building FEMA death camps, and the other half recognizes the supreme court as an active threat that needs to be dismantled.

They can't get him off the ballot at this point, the election is 45 days away.

Is everyone just gambling that Trump will be as incoherent as Biden? Cause with her promising nothing to voters, and the polls falling back towards Trump, it seems like the Democrats need to her to fucking slaughter Trump tonight, and I don't think she has it in her.

On the other hand, she did once call Biden a racist segregationist to his face, right up on the Democratic primary stage. That was cool.

I think they might be afraid to get the chuds riled up too soon, because they will jump straight to misogyny and racism. The GOP's biggest weak spots right now are women pissed off over losing civil rights because of Trumps judges, and also a fear that the minority voters the GOP has been picking up will be turned off and go straight back to the Democrats.

Why is RNC research trying to make Kamala more popular with the average American boomer.

It's going to try, but it's not 1992 anymore, there are other centers of power and financing in the world.

It's amazing they went with "friendly fire" to describe shooting three guys waving a white flag with their hands up, then chasing down the guy who survived the initial massacre and murdering him in cold blood as he begged for his life in Hebrew.

Look at the rates of birth defects and cancer in Falluja to see the answer to that one.

Yeah , the big advantage of drones was that they were supposed to be cheap , but the defense companies fixed that a long time ago.

There's also been bloat from only ever using them in the war on terror, against farmers and shepherds who could never shoot back, but mostly it was the profit margin. Which is why US drones now cost 30 million to 100+ million , so expensive that you can't afford to lose them.
