  • I'm calling it now: the 9-banded armadillo will be adopted as Canada's mascot in the next decade, after they become the main species in the Canadian deserts.

  • There’s a growing number of Americans who think violence might be necessary to get the country back on track

  • Wrong way of thinking, buddy boy.

    If you can't afford to go without pay for 2 weeks now, then where do you think you'll be in 2 years time?

    Act now while you're breathing, for the sake of being able to breathe.

  • Pritzker compares Trump to Putin, calls for invoking 25th Amendment for suggesting military use Chicago as "training grounds"

    Jump

  • That's the correct approach. Keep calling out the obvious dementia, the guy's barely a vegetable. Just look at the recent speech with the generals , the orange turd is unrecognisable, he barely moves.

  • Members of Congress still get paid during a government shutdown

    Jump

  • That's not the correct approach, brother. Especially newer congressmen will be dependent on this income to live, and this would make them even more likely to be held hostage by the guys with fat pockets.

    The problem here is that the consequences are exclusively shouldered by the people, when in fact it should be the administration who gets punished: if they're unable to compromise on a budget, then they need to get kicked out so that the country doesn't stop.

    If there's no way of passing the budget with a new administration, then call for new elections and see how the chips fall.

  • Members of Congress still get paid during a government shutdown

    Jump

  • This is 100% correct. In most civilised countries, if a yearly budget cannot be approved, the whole cabinet gets disbanded.

    Usually this leads to a new president (usually, a PM) getting appointed, but ultimately would lead to new elections.

  • Republicans shut down the government. They run the government. They are blaming everyone else.

    Jump

  • I'm sure they are, it's those guys who do unimportant work, like making sure the forests aren't going up in flames and consuming the nation, or helping out people who are about to die from starvation, exposure etc, those are the useless ones who don't get paid.

    It's a fucked up system.

  • Generals reportedly criticize being flown from around the world to meeting with Hegseth: ‘Total waste of money’

  • Did you know the Shanghai maglev trains can travel at 460 km/h? They have gone even faster, but that was on special test tracks, and they're the only trains in the world that use mag lev, and...

    What??

  • Moldova: Ruling pro-EU party wins election

    Jump

  • 50% Vs 25% for the russian party? That wasn't even close, it's a landslide. Just going by the news lately, not what I was expecting.

  • Here it comes

    Jump

  • Haha the guy's leaning right, but it's the viewer's left, so he's left leaning.

    But he's holding the bird with his left hand, because he's leftist.

    Everything is left if you want it bad enough lol.

  • Not sure about school, but you can pick them up in prison from a few people that are really skilled with lock picks.

  • It's more like you're forced to stop the tears so you can sigh loudly and roll your eyes. It's a reflex really.

  • Historically, the gay community endured widespread social condemnation, often framed in the language of deviance, mental illness, and a threat to societal norms.

    Homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder by the American Psychiatric Association until 1973. This pathologization served as a justification for discrimination in employment, housing, and public life.

    You have to be purposely blind to miss the parallels with the struggles and pains that trans people face today

    Now you're cool with gay people, but remember how up until quite recently, not even medical professionals accepted it? Because you're on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to trans people, you just haven't caught up.

  • Former FBI Director James Comey indicted

  • Bodycam footage has got to be one of the best measures ever implemented.

    It's a huge step towards accountable police forces, as we've seen in so many police abuse cases. Now we need to overturn their immunity, so that the murderers and abusive power tripping assholes don't get to just walk away freely.

    But it also works to defend the police, and there's so much bodycam footage on YouTube of people acting like massive dickwads, and I swear to god, the restraint on many officers is godlike, I'd have bashed their faces by the 2nd time they called me something wildly abusive, let alone hear it 100 times over 30 minutes and still remain calm.

  • ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Draws Record Ratings in Return from Suspension

    Jump

  • I laughed my ass off at the bit where he plays the Trump clip saying "Kimmel was fired because he had no ratings", and Kimmel: "I do now."

    Fucking comedy gold.

  • Judge finds misconduct by Trump's DOJ in Luigi Mangione case

  • Plus we were playing Mario Kart at the time. Where was Rittenhouse at that time though, huh?

  • Spanish jet with defence minister onboard suffers GPS disruption over Russia’s Kaliningrad

  • China bans negative online posts and ‘sensational conspiracy theories’

    Jump

  • This strategy is absolutely unviable in the West.

    Instead, the dumbest idiots with a useful narrative are given massive megaphones and drown out everyone else.

    Say what you want, but looks like a pick your poison kind of situation to me...
