First they came for the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Maaaaybe an Alfa, but I’m not buying a damn Fiat.

38 and not doing great.

Do ten evil things each day. We can only react to so many.

Nobody should be surprised. The Nazi’s ideas of eugenics were born in America. In 1939 the second-largest Nazi party was in America. A lot of Americans at the time thought we should be fighting for the other side.

It was pretty eye-opening when I was in Germany and Austria a couple years ago and heard people parroting the EXACT right-wing taking points I hear in the States.

I agree, but also they don’t make their money from sales. They make money from AWS servers/ services. I would bet that they lose money or maybe slightly break even on every sale of a physical item.

I wish nothing but pain for this fuckhead. May he develop dementia and circle the drain for years, living in a puddle of his own mess, then die alone and sobbing the day before he would get the power to dissolve the trust.

What? You’re saying if America becomes less accepting of gay people, Russia will become more accepting? Like, having a pride parade in retaliation?

Hate to say it, but I don’t think that the downfall of the American hegemony would go well for queer folks, even a fucked up as it is. To a certain extent, global power IS a zero sum game. Especially in the context of Tulsi Gabbard, who seems to be aligned with Russian interests. If American influence wanes, that vacuum will get filled by soft power coming from Russia, China, or some combination thereof. Neither of them are huge fans of the queers.

Teachers, nurses, etc. Passion professions get fucked regularly.

If the US leaves that alliance and then starts surreptitiously sending drone parts to Russia, it’ll get dicey.

If the AfD forms a coalition government with the normal conservatives and Germany decides to turn inwards and keep Deutsche money für die Deutscher, it’ll get dicey.

If Macron finally completes his heel turn and appoints Marine le Pen to interior secretary…

If Italy keeps going the way they’ve been going…

If the Finnish right decides that joining NATO was a mistake that let too many minorities in…

If the rest of Africa goes along with the Sahel nations and starts funneling their resources into the Russian war machine…

If Modhi lets Russia open more factories in India…

If China decides that they’re cool with sharing power on the global scale and fully buys in on the BRICS bloc…

Russia looks weak right now because the invasion has been such and embarrassment, but that can change surprisingly quickly. The global shift towards authoritarianism is coming hand-in-hand with a shift away from US/Eurocentric hegemony.

Give us something free and we’ll resell it to the poor.

So the press is telling the world that this violent whackjob’s neighbor wore a wire and got him arrested. Now they’re letting him back out into the world for a couple grand.

What could go wrong?

*defenestrated

The RF key fob very slowly drains the battery if you’re within 10-15 feet of the car.

They got us with the pog, missed us with the slammer.

(I actually have no idea how pogs work)

It’s the same thing that the far right in America is saying. We need an influx of workers, just make sure that they’re straight, white and Christian.

More paperwork, different paperwork. Biggest change is that it was no longer compatible with our manifest system, so we have to physically take every Canadian parcel to the Post Office and fill out the excise paperwork in person. Turned a ten-minute task into 1+ hour.

Every republican administration in my lifetime has left office in a recession.
