These people stopped looking in the mirror a long time ago.

Congress would impeach Biden SO FAST so he could then be prosecuted.

… Unless Biden also made it impossible for Congress to meet to impeach him. Which is obviously against the Constitution, but there’s nothing to be done about it as long as Congress can’t impeach him.

Checkmate, fascists.

… wait

Yup, it’s taxpayer money.

The logic is that shit like this will cause voters to demand change and vote in people who will make sure stuff like this doesn’t happen again. But the reality is that most voters simply don’t care, and there’s a non-zero number of voters who are unhappy because they want the black man to stay in prison whether he’s innocent or not.

Can’t be prosecuted unless Congress acts first? Detain Congress before they can act. Easy peasy, dictator for life.

I don’t follow that particular but if politics very closely, so I’m genuinely asking: is that still the case post-Brexit?

Canada will no doubt be laying claim to Greenland

You jest, but territorial disputes between Canada and Russia over the Arctic are a thing, and there was an active territorial dispute between Canada and Greenland over Hans Island that wasn’t resolved until last year.

Obviously I don’t mean to suggest that any of the stuff you mentioned could reasonably come true, just that it’s less removed from reality than you probably realized.

So

Wait until you find out that jet non-turbine planes use leaded fuel.

FTFY?

because it will just give his GOP opponent ammo to claim “see he’s radical too”.

But they already do that, so why care?

Remember, it isn’t that Trump supporters don’t know what he’s done, it’s that they don’t care.

Imagine arguing for the victim’s safety except for when the criminal is rich enough to pay for their temporary release.

The hundreds of thousands of dollars he’s paying his right-wing buddies to post on Twitter are going to have a great ROI any day now, he’s sure of it!

The thing is that the study with the mice was seriously flawed. There’s been more research since then, which is why we’re getting this announcement now (even though the announcement itself is little more than “oh hey there might be something to this? We definitely need more research before we can know for sure.”)

I feel like this probably explains some things…

Well that’s one of the more fucked up and asinine things I’ve heard in a while.

You know countries can refuse aide, right? Nobody is forcing them to accept the money. Because, you know, they’re a sovereign nation with the authority to make decisions for themselves. You even said it yourself

Would our government accept aid from China

China offering us aid doesn’t “usurpe our authority”. How the heck did you even come up with that nonsense.

But hey, believe whatever you want. Me, I think we should take responsibility for the harm we’ve done to the world and offer to make amends in some way or another. I don’t think it’s right to take a shit in somebody else’s yard and tell them it’s their problem. But again, that’s me.

Are you suggesting that we shouldn’t try to solve problems that we created? That if we create a problem, intentionally or not, that we should just say to the world “ok you deal with it now”?

Because that sure seems like what you’re saying here.

Why not both?

You’re painting a false dichotomy. We can take care of all these domestic issues, and we can give foreign aide. It wouldn’t even be hard, it would require a small fraction of the military budget or a slight to most increase of taxes on corporations and the ultra rich.

But some people don’t want to give money to poor/starving people, regardless of how much it costs. You could end all foreign aide and all the money would just go… somewhere else that isn’t poor people’s pockets.

Which was always the intent, more or less. It was just kind of a tradition amongst audio engineers to use it once in every film. It had nothing to do with the studios.

Or, they get more money from Russia.

I mean, racists overwhelmingly also deny anthropogenic climate change. It seems silly to be upset at people who are voting against a candidate you want then to vote against, just because they’re not doing it for the reason you want them to.
