  • ‘Cucumbers are the new gold’: Russians despair as prices soar

    Jump

  • Cucumbers are a calorie negative food. It takes more energy to digest them than you get from digesting them.

  • UN is waiting to see how much the US intends to pay of the nearly $4 billion it owes

    Jump

  • Congress could pass a bill to send payment directly, bypassing the president, if they republicans really wanted to. Assuming the Dems would support it, I suppose. You never know with them.

    Actually, I suppose Israel wouldnt support it because they hate the UN, so the Dems wouldnt support it. When you come down to it, Israel controls this situation. The US funds 30% of the UN's budget and the US congress works for Israel.

  • If trump creates a new fiat currency token and says the US backs it, couldnt the UN can put that token in the bank and their balance would read 4 billion, right?

    Thats such a classic Trump FAFO move, I wouldnt be surprised if he tried it. They cant even do corruption correctly.

  • Kid Rock Mocked For Lip Syncing Through MAGA Super Bowl Stunt

    Jump

  • eh. I dunno... Maybe for your god. My god (Church of Satan) says to use science to make sure your house is not built on flood plains. He/She (its both) also says to mind your own business and make sure other people are fed and educated.

    No one likes these ideas. They prefer the deadly flood.

  • The Chinese government bans all new investment in Israel

    Jump

  • What are you complaining about? At least someone is doing something about genocide. Whenever anyone, including the chinese stand up for a civilized world they should be praised and supported. I welcome their kicking zionist war criminals in the face and hope for much more kicking. Somebody has to lead here and it sure as hell isnt the so called western world order. They are all busy hiding their pedophilia crimes committed in Israeli honeypot operations.

  • Well maybe not in this life, but someday there will be a non right wing leader of the American states again, or a portion of them anyway. We might as well start planning for that now rather than waiting.

  • Yeah.... One of the Obama quotes that sums him up pretty well is, "Tell me what we're doing and I'll sell it".

    BUT, because of this countries history and a lot of undealt with racism and the path of pure chaos that always springs up from that, it was important for us all to have a black president and it was important that he do well. And Obama did well above average, even if I wanted a lot more out of him, after he strung us along with "Hope and Change". Obamacare alone sealed his legacy. His term was an important step toward universal civil rights. I dont know about you, but I Like civil rights and human rights for all. Its one of the #1 things I care about. The universality of rights is important no matter who you are--even to your avwerage white male right winger-- equal protection is something they need and should value. I am a financially OK old white guy myself, so this is not some sort self serving statement.

    We all need everyone in the US to do well because a country where all have enough is a significantly better, safer, happier, brighter place to live, and also just a better place to be a human being in. America needs to be a country that makes sure its poor have "enough" rather than a country fixated on if poor people have "too much". We've become a shittier people over the course of my lifetime and there needs to be a change. Its got to start with getting rid of centrist dems and replacing them with people who care about the issues of the voters, even the poor ones, and who pledge to fight for human and civil rights for all-- that includes rejecting AIPAC completely. Then we corral the republicans and put them in a legal box they cant wiggle out of. To create that box we need to get civil and human rights going again as a key part of who we are.

  • If clinton testifies that trump gave him a blowjob, he will go down as one of the best-- simply for saving whats left of the "republic". If he fails to do that he's a mixed bag, and a bit of a failure.

  • Shapiro is not a progressive-- by what facts would you claim that he is? He advertises himself as someone who brings republicans and dems together on issues. He's as centrist as they come.

  • The Next Democratic President Better Be Merciless

  • Shapiro is bought and paid for by Israel. He cant possibly win an election the presidency, for starters, and even if he could win he'd be working for a country thats not ours, that wants America isolated from its military allies so it can act unconstrained by consensus. Shapiro would be the death of the democratic party for good.

    To add to his lack of qualifications, he's new to politics. He's in his first term as a governor. He doesnt even know how national politics works, and he hasnt championed anything notable. He got a budget that added school breakfasts, and increased funding for state police. And thats about it. Thats not a leader for our times. Its insulting to see his name brought up as a candidate, yet again.

  • fair point. its the "royal we" where you are only a member insomuch as you have any role in actually operating or changing it. Collective responsibility is a slippery topic.

  • workers will not be allowed to work until they die unless its a really menial job. Every normal mundane mistake you make as an older worker, your bosses look at you trying to decide if you are too old to do the job.
