  • Turns out Republicans were the true soy boys

  • Trump is probably even more pro-Israel than Biden.

  • US President Donald Trump is facing widespread criticism and accusations of proposing ethnic cleansing after stating that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and relocate its Palestinian population to neighbouring countries.

    Speaking aboard Air Force One during a flight from Las Vegas to Miami on Saturday, Trump described Gaza as a “demolition site” and suggested moving its residents to Jordan and Egypt.

    “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

    He added that the move could be either temporary or long-term, saying, “something has to happen”

    To everybody who voted against Kamala Harris because she didn't change her stance on Gaza, how does it feel to be played harder than a tenor saxophone?

  • Knowing Trump, I wouldn't be surprised if he went full Nayib Bukele and sent in troops to influence the vote.

    And as much as I like Bukele, he presided over unique circumstances where his country was effectively being ruled by MS-13 and his actions were warranted in the case of being elected leader of a country ruled by drug overlords. The USA is going through no such crisis.

  • Tildes (a closed garden Reddit alternative) frequently love to reminisce about the days of small forum communities. Maybe we need to bring them back.

  • Still, it's a crappy justice system if literally running an international drug cartel thats administering adrenaline to torture victims (so they don't fall unconscious), skinning them alive and hacking off their limbs with a chainsaw until they die gets you a lighter prison sentence than being a Libertarian web developer who ran the "Amazon of illegal narcotics" and went down what I can best describe as a dollar tree Walter White style descent into criminality.

    And that's just one of the cartel's many torture and murder methods. They are mercilessly brutal and an incredibly good reason to stay away from huge parts of Mexico.

    I'm not saying Ross didn't do anything wrong (he certainly did) but there are worse convicts in the criminal justice system who are getting the chance of parole that Ross was denied.

  • I think Ulbricht received a disproportionately harsh sentence for his crime of running an online dark web narcotics marketplace. El Chapo only got one life sentence, plus 30 years for his role as a drug cartel kingpin. And last I checked, the Sinaloa Cartel are responsible for torturing and murdering hundreds, likely thousands of people through some of the most brutal and sadistic methods known to man. Ulbricht's body count by comparison? Zero, unless you count the two attempts he made to hire hitmen.

    As for why Ross got pardoned... A few months ago Trump visited the Libertarian National Convention on his electoral campaign and pledged to commute Ross Ulbricht's sentence to that of "time served," which suddenly made an otherwise-booing Libertarian crowd erupt into cheers.

    Good on him for actually keeping to his word. He could very easily have flipped the middle finger to the Libertarians who voted for him based on that pledge.

    1. He wasn't charged with murder for hire.
    2. Two of the DEA agents that solicited this actually tried to steal millions from the seizure, and each received custodial sentences for it.
    3. The other time he tried to hire a hitman, it was a crypto scammer.
  • He did a second one that seemed far more coordinated in terms of its posture.

  • That is undeniably a Nazi salute. I'm actually more surprised he didn't yell "HEIL DONALD" too

  • It's funny that Xiaohongshu is popping off right on the cusp of a TikTok ban. They're not even flocking to established US alternatives.

  • Nah, they'd learn Toki Pona, because it's an amazing interlanguage.

  • If they think Dollar Store Hitler is going to stand up for small businesses then they're about to have a rude awakening.

  • Oh yeah, 100% "leopards ate my face" vibes

  • She expelled her dad from the party for not toning down his rhetoric.

  • I'm from the UK and it's not the worst fast food I've had. KFC is the really fucking dire brand here.

  • Jokes aside, I prefer Burger King to McDonalds, and I think it's because McDonalds came under a lot more scrutiny in my country and had been forced to tone down their menu and marketing. Maccy D's were the ones who rapidly expanded in the UK and also made bank from Happy Meals and the child market, so of course they'd have all eyes upon them.

    McDonalds are trying to make their menus and advertising appear healthier, whereas BK are like "look at this sexy dripping quarter pound whopper, you know you want it you fat fuck!"

    And that's why I can order a Bacon Double Cheeseburger XL from my local BK and feel like I'm actually eating a burger, whereas the equivalent in a McDonalds costs 30% less but is half the size, doesn't taste flame grilled and looks like it was rapidly cobbled from preprocessed shit that's less than 32% meat.
