It’s already happening. If Trump attempts to go Neville Chamberlain on Ukraine, the Europeans (at least a large group of them) are willing to tell him to fuck off.

No civilized person should be compelled to listen to Trump’s whiny gob.

Her family probably wanted that nice, fat congressional salary to keep rolling in.

Someone needs to leak that number.

I pray that justice will be done.

She’s trying hard to be another Trump, constantly flinging out dead cats.

Who doesn’t like going out on a boat?

They’ve already found that it’s fine for police to lie to suspects during interrogations.

“As a now-identifying-as-straight member…”

Not the Onion? Amazing.

(Mostly) straight guy here. You’re right about Gloria, she’s a hell of a fine singer. Some people are just oblivious about the meaning of songs. I had a college roommate who was ignorantly, aggressively straight. His favorite song? All the Young Dudes. And as far as I could discern, he wasn’t a closet case. Just dimwitted.

Trump rallies?

Good that you’re open-minded, he’ll probably need some support later in his life when he comes out.

Calling a fascist a fascist is entirely reasonable, even tautological. It’d be dishonest not to. And I don’t know anyone over 16 who talks about maturity as a virtue. Anyway, maturity is a measure of the years you’ve lived, not what you’ve learned from them. I’m old and it hasn’t escaped my notice that most people in my age group are idiots, just like most people in every age group.

Dispatcher: “Emergency crew, please treat this as urgent, and bring haldol.”

It’s not a family dinner if someone’s not showing off their new stoma.

Clip the ends of the screws off. Not much more effort than moaning on Reddit, and more useful results.

The genocide revisionist propaganda was started in 1990s by CIA supported Ukrainian activists.

Then some of them went back in time to the mid-1970s, when they told me of having to leave Ukraine and go to Canada because of the famines and massacres.

Ukraine did better than most USSR members.

“Better” only in the sense of having a higher death toll: 7 to 10 million out of a total population of about 30 million.

Xinjiang prosperity has grown higher than average of Chinese provinces, with high investment levels.

Those high investment levels being funneled exclusively to Han Chinese who have been brought in to displace the Uighurs who have been put into camps.

The genocide declaration is political persecution

Right, and putting people into camps in order to exterminate their ethnic identity isn’t.

China’s idea of free trade is unilateral: it’s them being free to export. They’re massively protectionist within China, mainly through non-tariff barriers such as arbitrary regulation.
