I don’t think they’ve actually approved a war since Korea. They ceded that power to the president. Congress never declared war on Vietnam, Iraq x2, or Afghanistan. And that’s just the big ones.

Notice how 90% of them disappeared after the election?

I suspect it was planned out. He “jokingly” says he wanted to buy twitter. Courts say it was a legitimate offer and he has to go through with it. He protested for a moment then says oh well, ya got me. Commence purges that likely had to do with political beliefs, then here we are, buying the president of the USA for 1/176th the price of twitter. I’m just rambling here but where’s the missing piece? Or is it just that cut and dry?

The EU just announced $730 billion in war materiel for Ukraine. This is double what the US contributed over three years.

As far as I can tell, Trump has only been right about a single thing, that Europe needs to spend more money on military.

Looks like it’s blowing up in his face and it’s going to fuck him out of selling Ukraine to Russia.

The Art of the Deal

That conjured a great mental image for me of old man Putin setting out little bowls for neighborhood cats with the faces of Elon and Trump.

I’ve heard it said that Putin is actually the world’s richest man, worth over $1 trillion. I could believe it.

Also the reason why Saudis funded it. They want a piece of the post truth pie. But why did Elon even bother with the Saudi money? Is it as simple as wanting to keep the high score?

He paid $44 billion for twitter (of his and others’ money) but the presidency of the richest country on earth only cost $250 million? It doesn’t add up at all.

I often wonder how it goes behind closed doors. Is Zelenskyy all polite or is he more like you’re full of shit and you fucking know it?

OKAAAY

I have ADHD and sometimes can’t focus to do more brain intensive work if I’m in a room with a bunch of people talking. Street/background noise doesn’t bother me at all. I grew up suburb rural adjacent but I’ve worked in huge cities for long periods and it just doesn’t bother me like six people having two conversations would.

I agree with you that it’s sad and insulting. Europe and the US were about tied in support, with the US slightly higher. That is until today, when the EU announced a new $732 billion in support and war material. Go EU! Fantastic news. That’s almost double what has already been sent in total by all countries over the past three years.

Olaf Scholz just announced the EU will be donating $732 billion of war materiel to Ukraine. I’m so happy about this. They’re not going to let the US sell Ukraine out.

I wish I lived in the EU so badly.

My state is trying to rename our tallest mountain Trump Mountain. I wish I was kidding.

Burn your TV.

They know it. They deliberately conflate being against the Israeli government and being antisemitic.

It’s said as krokodil correct? Means crocodile because your skin will look like a crocodile’s. I watched a video I wish I’d never seen where some medical workers took off a user’s boot and his foot came off with it.

I was about to say that catholics aren’t as politically fucked as the evangelicals, but I looked up the data and the difference is down to 5%.

When I was young and personally knew some catholics, they seemed so much more fun than the stuffy evangelicals. Their parents voted for Democrats and were much more permissive with their kids compared to protestants. Either my experience is fairly unique or catholics have changed.

I know evangelical and protestant don’t mean the same thing but at least where I grew up almost all the protestants were evangelical or worse. Yeah it gets worse.

Please forgive the source, it doesn’t appear to be biased.

Or elitists that make something significantly less bad impossible because they can’t have blood on their hands.

The people who didn’t vote have more blood on their hands than the ones who voted for Kamala. Basic practicality for the common good is disappearing, just like the capitalists wanted to achieve with their think tank wedge issues and culture wars.

I live in a highly religious part of the country. 79% of the state is some form of christian.

I have had several conversations with people here who do not comprehend that catholics are christian. In fact I even had an argument about it here on Lemmy a while back. I wonder if someone will pop out again to try to tell me that catholics aren’t christians.

To be fair, they all should.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?
