do what the right wing does

Maybe with just a little less cross burning, lynching, and religious extremism.

Yes. And Biden was chosen, which includes Harris being next up if Biden couldn’t perform the duties of president for any reason. If Democrats didn’t want the status quo, they should have chosen someone other than Biden.

The best way I’ve seen anyone put it is that by the time the election arrives, you are exclusively in damage control mode. If you want actual change, you have to have it done by getting your personal choice voted in during the primaries.

Money in banks is a freezable asset. For an organization like Hezbollah, that would be a major concern.

Expect a lot of change in Israeli-Western relations in the next 20 years

I wouldn’t count on it. Western attention spans are nowhere near long enough for that.

I think it’s more accurate to say that things become fire.

Most of the “what if” scenarios that I’ve come across focus on what if the Nazis hadn’t attacked the USSR when they did. If Germany was fighting on one front at a time, the question becomes does Germany take the UK, and if so, does the US directly enter the war at all?

Worse. Terminally online edgelord.

“Yay! We’ve created artificial general intelligence!”

“…Fuck, it’s an asshole.”

And what is your proposed solution?

Pointing out the obvious problem without proposing a solution is a giant waste of everyone’s time.

Also, can’t commit war crimes if there’s no war. And Russia says this isn’t a war.

Things happen by accident or on purpose. No one over the age of 3 should be using “on accident”.

The two parts are actually Israel and Hamas. If Israel wants peace, there’s not much the US is going to do to force them to keep fighting. And conversely, if Hamas doesn’t want peace, there’s nothing the US can do (short of entering the war directly) to keep Israel from fighting back. It’s all up to Israel and Hamas. The US (and Iran on the other side) are secondary players.

How hard’s the test? Maybe she’s done.

Close. The Thousand Islands are in the St Lawrence River.

World wars don’t start until the superpowers are in direct conflict. That’s what defines a “World War”. There are always multiple conflicts going on around the globe.

Dumb question maybe, but why not just let them get older and then eat them?

Uh, what actions is this particular museum director guilty of?

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

One of my issues with accepting cars sold by Chinese manufacturers, tariff free, is that it’s not a level playing field. If China wants unimpeded access to European (and North American) markets, then they should allow foreign manufacturers unimpeded access to the Chinese market. Currently, foreign automotive manufacturers cannot access the Chinese market without forming a partnership with a Chinese company, and they cannot own more than a 49% share of said Chinese company.
