- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been around long enough that I recognize bad faith and fallacious arguments, pedantism, and particularly expressions of Danth’s Law and choose not to take the bait. I stay on message which was that it was obvious to the UK who their true and trustworthy friends were (for example Canada which joined the Second World War 9 days after its outbreak and sent young men to fight to stop the spread of fascism and defend Britain) and weren’t (for example the US which sat on its hands for 829 days while Europe burned) at it should be today. It should be horrifying (but not at all surprising) to the UK, and to the rest of the free world, to see that fascism has taken hold in the US.

829 days. Canada was there for 820 of those 829 days.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
829 days.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
For 829 days the US sat and watched.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
Canada, 9 days.
US, 829 days.
For those 820 days the rest of the world, including Canada, was sending its young men to fight and die for freedom.
The US sat and watched.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
Canada entered the was 9 days after it started. The US entered the war 820 days later.
Canada went and fought while the US sat and watched.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
Cherry picked? 9 days versus 829 days. Cherry pick my ass.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
Then why did it take 9 days?
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
Bombed into it.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 4 weeks ago:
Just a reminder that it took the US years to join the Second World War while the UK was pounded by the Nazis. Canada joined the war nine days after it began. Remember who your friends are. The US isn’t anyone’s friend but it’s own.

- Comment on Describe conservatives with one picture 2 months ago:
I was permanently banned from r/conservative for pointing out the letter that claimed that the DOJ had found evidence of basics voter fraud in Georgia that contradicted the Republican Governor, Republican Secretary of State, Republican States Attorney General, and Republican election officials as well as the Republican Attorney General, and the DOJ itself was written by a Trumpist shill.
I wish I could get flare for that.
Don’t speak truth intuitive the echo bunker.
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 2 months ago:
I that why neo-fascist women are so fucking miserable?
As a socialist pussy eater I don’t feel any need to walk around waving my masculinity at people. Maybe the real issue is that the neo-fascist non-pussy eaters have such delicate masculinity that they’re afraid to do anything that might hurt it.
Left wing babes are welcome to sit on my face any time. I’m willing to take the risk.

- Comment on Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem? 3 months ago:
Do you actually believe that a fascist wannabe dictator in the White House, an abjectly corrupt activist Supreme Court, and bought a sold oligarchs as the heads of departments are more of a problem than wild boar? Seriously?

Is “wild boar” a euphemism for MAGA cultists and politicians?

As director she gave us several glorious ass shots to remember her by. Her work here is done.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 3 months ago:
I was just watching a panel discussion about Trump and the tariffs and had a thought. He’s started adding exemptions. He just added one for the automotive industry following discussions with the big three auto makers. What if the tariffs were a grift all along? What if he put the tariffs on to generate tax dollars that he can use to give billions of dollars to the wealthy but what if he’s double dipping and selling exemptions? Like, what if when he talked to the big three auto makers he said, “I’ll make an exemption to the tariffs for the auto industry if you give me $100 million”?

When our kids got old enough my wife threw out the plastic, Ikea flower cups that the rest of us all loved. She wanted us to use more grown up cups. We now all drink exclusively from her mason jars.
- Comment on Democratic Policies At Work: "Almost Half" Of Seattle's Homeless Population Is Not From Seattle 4 months ago:
That’s because everyone, including the homeless, is better off in Democratic run states. Instead of dealing with the root causes of homelessness and drug addiction Republican states are busy lack–of-virtue signaling and trying to punish and torture people into not being homeless.
This isn’t the gotcha for progressives that you think it is. It’s actually an epic self-own.

Cara Delinvigne is gorgeous. I’d watch it just for her. The movie was just silly fluff.

- Comment on Legal argument behind DOGE is ‘very strong,’ constitutional law attorney says 4 months ago:
Sidney Poewll and Rudy Giuliani said that there was evidence of massive fraud in the 2020 election and were disbarred. If the Trump era has shown us Anthony is that the lawyers quoted by right wing media are often full of shit.
- Comment on The Lemmy Liberal 4 months ago:
Ronald Regan eliminated the Fairness Doctrine allowing Fox and other propaganda mouthpieces of the christofascists to broadcast a constant stream of lies until enough of the American public believed it that the christofascists could leverage their seething hatred born out of years of resentment at being made to feel dumb (by the intellectual elites), intolerant (by the woke), backwards (by the progressives), etc. The christofascists leverages the apparatus of the GOP funded by billionaire oligarchs to turn that seething hatred into a willingness to vote against their own self-interest.
I hope this helps you to understand.

Mila Kunis is absolutely gorgeous in this movie. It’s worth a watch just for her.
Valerian was the same. Watch it for Cara Delinvigne if for no other reason.
