  • Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?

    Jump

  • Absolutely.There are two ways to make sure nuclear weapons are never used in war:

    1. No one has any nukes
    2. Everyone has nukes.

    #1 is never going to happen. The US, Russia, and China are for sure never ever giving up their nuclear weapons.So #2 it is, level the playing field and give everyone nuclear weapons. A nation is far less likely to use a nuclear weapon if they know they can and will get nuked back right away.

  • What national security? If we had national security Trump would have been behind bars Jan 20th 2021.

  • Why Trump Is Targeting U.S.-Canada Border Over Migrant Crossings

    Jump

  • Do people really think it's to keep people out?The wall will be there to keep us in when his policies start to hurt everyone including the people who voted for him.

  • Taxing Farm Animals’ Farts and Burps? Denmark Gives It a Try. Cows and pigs produce a large share of planet-warming methane. A new tax is part of a plan to clean that up.

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I think this will disproportionately affect smaller farms.The problem is with factory farms with thousands of animals, but they can foot the extra tax bill no problem and simply raise prices to keep their profit margins and smaller family farms will hurt.If the punishment for a crime is a fine then it's only a crime for the poor.Putting limits on how many farm animals can be possessed and encouraging the public to eat less meat would probably be more effective at actually reducing emissions.

  • Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going?

  • Russia

  • Two-thirds of Americans think Trump tariffs will lead to higher prices, poll says

    Jump

  • Trump won with less than 20% of the vote if you count all eligible voters, he won because most people stayed home.

  • Trudeau opposes allowing Russia to keep ‘an inch’ of Ukrainian territory

    Jump

  • War weariness is a thing.I wouldn't be surprised if a non-insignificant number of that 1/3 that doesn't oppose Russia keeping some territory are just tired of the war and want it to be over.3 years is a long time to live in a war torn country with frequent power outages and food shortages. People tend to disassociate when it doesn't affect them directly and if they happen to live on the Western side of Ukraine, losing territory on the Eastern border will have less of an effect on them than continued food and power shortages.

  • Trump’s imminent return has ‘demoralized’ DOJ, former federal prosecutor says

    Jump

  • Well good thing the DOJ spent years dragging their feet instead of actually doing anything about it.

  • Weed, they got baked and leaned the knowledge of good and evil.

  • Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome?

    Jump

  • The opposite. Google won't be able to leverage chrome to drive website design and Internet policy anymore and it'll give smaller companies an opportunity to get a better foothold in the market. That's the whole point in breaking them off from Google in the first place.

  • Trump chooses former acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as NATO ambassador

    Jump

  • If the United States leaves NATO they no longer have veto power. It's probably more advantageous to Putin to keep the United States in NATO and kneecap any efforts by the entire organization to resist Russian aggression than it is to simply remove the US from the organization.

  • Cruise line offers ‘escape’ from Trump presidency with multi-year packages

    Jump

  • People who can afford cruises aren't going to be the ones disproportionately affected by Trump's policies.

  • At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height?

    Jump

  • About the time they start walking.Once they're standing up, they're tall.While they're still laying down, they're long.

  • Do it, pussies!I'm so over the bullshit of the last decade or so that a quick death in nuclear hellfire sounds absolutely merciful compared to what awaits us if we continue this downward spiral.

  • Trump likely to use antisemitism claims to launch crackdown on US universities

    Jump

  • Exactly, the phrase "violence is never the answer" breaks down pretty quickly when your adversary is not only okay with using violence, but opens with it.Passive action against violent people facilitates oppression.

  • I have a broken molar on my left side and I've been dealing with it for years because I couldn't afford to have all 8 teeth removed that the dentist wanted to pull because I lost a corner of one molar.If was explained to me that without that one tooth, the teeth on either side of it would move to fill the gap and would cause other problems, and without the teeth on the bottom the teeth on top would start to drop down and cause more problems, so if i wanted that one tooth fixed I'd need to pay thousands of dollars to get all the teeth on my left side pulled.Being the gullible idiot I am, I trusted the medical professional and decided that if it had to be done that way, I'd just have to live with it the way it was because I didn't have thousands of dollars to pay for the surgery and my job at the time didn't offer dental.
