We have sold the same glass of lemonade back and forth between eachother 8 million times so somehow we both have negative tax rates now!

Two guanos enter the presidential palace, only one leaves alive.
They have some of the world’s most renowned racism factories
Why is nobody beating this nonce to death in the streets with his own shoes?
Taking back control from the guys who actually won the election.
I don’t know the details of how the US legal system works but isn’t a plea bargain essentially the same as a settlement in civil cases?
If so, it should (at least in theory) have very little prejudicial value since the courts did not rule on the question if Assange’s culpability.
I know that in the real world the US regime once again learned that it can get away with murder and journalists all over the world have already learned the lesson that the evil empire will fuck them up if they air their dirty laundry. But from a legal nerd point of view a settlement should be quite useles as a precedent.
Everybody will know that this is a forced confession anyways so who cares?
Taiwan is China, even the separatist regime in Taipei agrees on that.
I hate to be a killjoy but I wonder how many of the people who answered “Yes the war has killed or injured hundreds of thousands of people and it needs to stop” really meant to say “Yes the war has killed [etc…] and it must stop with a negotiated settlement resulting in the unconditional surrender of Russia”.
Lots of commotion internally in Denmark while the reaction would be decided upon in Washington.
I don’t think Russia wants to retaliate so directly though. As I see it they have very little to gain from taking that bait. More likely acts of retaliation would be plausibly deniable cyber attacks or supporting some proxy in attacking Danish interests abroad. If I was a Danish troop in Iraq, I would be watching my back after this.
The problem with the Danes is that they have been so sheltered for so long that the concept of their actions having consequences simply don’t register any more. Everything is going to be welfare, roast pork and padding ourselves on the back for all eternity, war and disaster and calamity is something they have in “the warm countries”, it will never affect us.
That’s like when your teacher would say “I promise we’ll get to that” whenever they didn’t want to answer a question.
Isn’t most of this Chinese embassies reaching out to fugitives and taking them into going back home to have things sorted out?
Do we know anything about what kind of crimes they’re on the run because of or what consequences they gave when they go home? I wouldn’t be surprised if most of it is really banale stuff.
China should make a Radio Free Garden or something to broadcast real news into the west.
Because the yanks and the koreans are doing two different things. The koreans are developing new missiles to defend their nation. The yanks are developing ways to get more yachts for defence contractor CEO’s, preferably also a way to kill brown people with rusty AK’s.
Both are good at what they’re doing.
Yes. While cannabis is unproblematic to most users, some cannabis users experience substance abuse disorders that are hurting their health and social relations. They should receive qualified and empathetic care, not condemnation and criminalisation.
Wow! I’m so impressed with her immense moral courage! It is so brave to do the right thing only when doing so becomes less damaging to your career than not doing it would be.
How is the indigenous resistance surrendering going to end generations of apartheid and occupation?
defend ourselves against Putin
Putin is going to come and finish the job for Stalin any day now. Just wait and see, tomorrow the Bolchevik hordes might be flooding into Germany, to eat your Dachshunds and turning the Oktoberfest into a vodka and balalaika festival.
Why would Putin do that? Simply because he is evil.
The only sensible response is to cut every social program to fund the construction of a German death star.
In the mouths of western politicians, the word “diplomacy” is synonymous with unconditional surrender. They would rather burn the world to the ground than accept that they can’t get all of their maximalist demands and engage in actual good faith negotiations with their adversaries, trying to work out a compromise.
