Everything you said is true, but I hope more people are seeing the US as the canary we are in the realm of right wing politics. The cancer is spreading and getting more control around the world. Everyone should look at how the US has fallen under the Trump regime and what not to do. That’s not to say that the US was doing great things outside of Trump, but this is certainly worse for the citizens of the US and the cascading effects are clearly having a negative effect on much of the rest of the world.

That has nothing to do with state borders. The electoral college is a fucked system and FPtP voting is dumb AF. What’s your alternative to states that you think would make the US a better place?

Still, the solution isn’t an embargo that hurts the citizens. Humanitarian efforts would be more effective for sure. This is not in defense of the Cuban go government, but there’s no way that laying siege on an island is better for the citizens there.

That’s not the US’s fight though. If Cubans aren’t a fan of their leadership they should fix it. If they can’t they can request help and setup some guarantees and deals for assistance.

The Chinpokomon episode of South Park aired in 1999, and that had the commercials Alabama Man and Wild Wacky Action Bike and those satire commercials are the best ever. So I agree.

If RFK reads this comment, milk will be banned.

Says the troll shilling for Russia.

Are you seriously defending drunk driving right now?

There are more and better resources now than ever to learn about raising a children. I was spanked and I’d imagine most people before me for spanked. Before that you cut a switch and we’re essentially lashed. Those practices are now considered wrong with one being literal legal child abuse. Things like positive reinforcement, physical contact, and just love are shown to raise much better people. As far as nursing, diapers, and all that jazz, there’s endless options to read about and experts to consult with. I’m sure you remember some of your childhood and some of the events that you now know were good and bad. Use that knowledge as well. Nobody was born with all of the knowledge, use the support around to gain it.

So the Europe and Japan are just US lite? The fucking cowards have the best opportunity to shit on Trump’s actions but didn’t even mention him. They could have condemned those actions then also appealed to Iran, but instead sided with fascism. Fuck this world.

Not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying America won’t be destroyed, it will morph to something else, something that will likely be more radical than it is now. I don’t think anyone should want that, but that is what Trump is doing. He’s not destroying the bad stuff, he’s actively bolstering that and killing the good stuff. I’m not defending America at all, just pointing out that it can and will get worse on this current path.

His destruction of the US isn’t literal in that the US will cease to exist. If it gets real bad, like civil war bad, there will still be a military, and there will be lots of radicalization. Think about how the middle east was destabilized by the US in the 80s, 90s, and onward, and then think if that was good for the world. Now imagine if that happened to the US instead. The “world police” won’t stop being bastards, it will likely just get more heinous, like bombing little girl schools, which is an escalation from the previous atrocities committed.

Think of it kind of like small pox blankets. A violent anomaly introduced to an environment that can’t defend against it. I’d imagine that’s the kind of thing OP is talking about, but I may have misinterpreted their comment.

They’d at least know what irony tastes like though.

I watched my new dog take a shit the other day, and then turned around and started nibbling at it. He’s big on getting in your face and giving kisses and I can’t stop thinking about the poop.

I would suggest not watching motorsports if I were you then.

It looks like some of them can but not all. I would have guessed not, so that’s surprising to me.

For all of the people from there that have been harping at the US for its citizens to do something about this regime, time to nut up or shut up.

I rephrased in a follow up to someone else’s comment. The people that ordered the strike on old Intel should be charged. There were failures in the process, and those responsible should be held responsible.

I suppose I don’t know. I should rephrase that whoever knew and ordered it should be in the hot seat. Word is that it was old target data they were going on. That by itself is a failure if true, which isn’t excusable. I’d be interested in when that school was built or transitioned to a school and the age of the data. This may be the result of a pedophile and his hair trigger war drive that meant due diligence wasn’t done.
