Fucking garbage tier party, will stick up for literally nobody, only procedural norms. They won't fight for trans, abortion, migrants, or any other rights, and God forbid you ask them to at least not vote for their opponent's department nominations, that'd make things so awkward in Congress!

Fucking useless "opposition"

Thanks you Trump for finally eliminating US soft power. Once no nation sees any benefits in close relationships with the US and actively hates it, the US will truly be a wealthier and more powerful super power than ever before!

(I'm being sarcastic, jfc this is so stupid and cruel)

It's wild how "take seriously" just means "stop pretending that his ramblings are seventh dimensional chess". Sometimes, the emperor really is just wearing no clothes!

I read his statements as attempts to make it clear he's not the unreasonable "everyone must give Ukraine all the aid we want with no compensation allowed" figure that conservatives in the US now want to paint him as. It makes it clear that Trump isn't upset that Zelenskyy isn't open to negotiating compensation for the US, he's just trying to find an excuse to pivot US foreign policy towards Russia's goals, and Zelenskyy meanwhile is even willing to discuss something as absurd as signing away Ukraine's rare earth minerals.

I think it's a good idea for him to call Trump's bluff. If he railed hard against the deal, it'd become another partisan issue, whether relations with Ukraine broke because of Trump or Zelenskyy being a hardliner. That's why they've been trying to find any excuse at all to say Zelenskyy was somehow rude to Trump while he was sitting there listening to Trump spit out Russian propaganda. Conservatives need some narrative that the US pivot to Russian foreign policy is Ukraine's fault, and Zelenskyy is denying them that.

I'm willing to bet there are boys that roleplay as humans on mastodon. While we lack concrete data, humans are a fairly popular race in roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons. If there are at least 10 young men on Mastodon that play Dungeons and Dragons, there's a very good chance at least one role plays as a human character.

And now, in one post identifies as straight, maybe bi curious and doesn't care about homophobia because as a bi person she doesn't experience it, and then minutes later in another post is a lesbian who only likes men.

If she's real, she's got some incredibly powerful OCD and should maybe stop thinking so much about labels.

I'm mostly betting they're a troll though.

Also even if something very specific that you want isn't available outside of Amazon, that's all the more reason to definitely not buy it and message the manufacturer/seller and let them know why you're not buying it. Boycotts will sometimes mean not buying something you really want to buy, that's working as designed.

No, I'm only into women. Potentially some enbies, but mostly women.

Are you under the impression PiS was normally a sane functional party before 2016 or something? Because I can strongly assure you this is more or less normal for them. Ever since the Smoleńsk plane crash in 2010, they've pretty consistently been insane and accusing KO (and the various precursor parties) of being agents of the global gay/Jewish/German/Russian conspiracy against Poland.

And I'm not against people having this recognition! I'm just saying, it's hypocritical to tell Canadians we can't see the US as an enemy nation if it acts that way, but it's okay for urbanite Americans to see rural Americans as their enemy. Either it's divide and conquer in both cases or it's recognizing political reality in both.

You missed my point - if you're saying Canadians recognizing the present reality that the US is an enemy nation of Canada is divide and conquer, I don't see how that doesn't apply to how you talk about urban/rural divides. Either acknowledging the political reality of a situation is divide and conquer or it's not.

You're complaining that Canadians seeing the US as an enemy nation is divide and conquer, but this screed against the rural peoples of your own country is just dandy???
