Unfortunately, any extremist government will work very hard to keep conflict, war and crisis going in order to distract from the fact that they're the ones who are turning everything to shit.

Oh that is such a cool idea! Wouldn't even need the whole windscreen to be polarized, polarized glasses for the driver should also work.

I find it hard to believe but according to a fan of hers I once talked to, they would vote for a rabid raccoon if she endorsed it.

I also thought it was too late to replace Biden and they should have done it at least six months earlier. But now I think the timing is pretty much perfect.

Republicans focused all their efforts on bashing Biden instead of getting people excited for their own policies. Now that whole campaign has just imploded on itself and there's not enough time to come up with and enact something new. Plus, Harris and Walz have all the attention now, they dominate the news.

As a native German speaker, "Schwanz" is more like "dick", pretty vulgar and crude. "Schniedel" was originally used around children and has a cute and somewhat humorous connotation. I think it's the better fit here.

Although, at least in my field of work, it's a bit frowned upon to actually get your vacation days back when you get sick.

That's a common phenomenon, it's called AAAAA (age associated absence of acronym awareness).
