He just had it a couple of hours in a desperate attempt for attention. Also he is bored.

Diesel is beer and cola

It also illustrates his hypocrisy pretty well. You won’t get deported as long as you’re useful to me.

So he hopes the world has forgotten what he said by then. 2 weeks is Trump’s tell - either he doesn’t want to commit, or he has no idea what’s going on, either way in two weeks he hopes everybody has moved on and forgotten.

Lol everything he has done in these lawsuits was for the sole purpose to hide his money.

5 different corporate representatives were sent and the court ruled every single testimony of those as non responsive to discovery. The last corporate rep to testify was a hired outside lawyer with no experience in civil law, no familiarity with Texas law and had no experience in financial matters. Why would you send someone as your corporate representative, who has no idea what’s going on, or any experience in relevant fields? To obscure the process of discovery and to hide the money.

And immediately admitting he was wrong about it not being torture.

Yeah, and we didn’t start the fire.

It’s Springsteen, not Billy Joel.

TLDR: Hard disagree on almost anything you just said

Well historically it is not a terrible system, it is very stable and tends to not self implode regularly like democracy does.

Yeah if you ignore for example wars of succession, because of incestuous family ties, arbitrary rule, repression and exploitation of its citizens, one could call it stable… Although the escalation and tyranny unfortunately are baked into the system.

if you look at monarchies historically they tried very very hard to avoid having rebellions in their hands and usually worked in the interest of the nation, as the interest of the nation was the interest of the monarch.

Have you ever read history books? Sure some rulers may have had that kind of view but theres also plenty of megalomaniacal, terribly violent and unjust rulers in those big ol books of history. And since it is an imposed rule of tyranny there’s really only violence to get rid of an unjust ruler, you know a neat thing about democracy? Violence is the last resort to getting rid of rulers because we can vote! Crazy right?

So if a democratic nation seems headed towards anti democratic rule, it would seem to me that a better goal would be to install a monarchy instead of a fascist.

In that case- what’s the fucking difference? Oh, to avoid an autocracy let’s install an autocracy with cherry flavor… Great?

Ah, okay the only time I saw that movie I was high as a kite, that explains why I don’t recall.

ESPN 8, “The Ocho.”

Those are words… I think. I think it never made it quite to Europe, I only know the meme.

That’s the first time I noticed that this is Jason Bateman on the right… How could I miss that all those years?

The EU started negotiations for a free trade agreement in 2015 during Obama, then the orange threw the proposal out in 2016. Now in 2025 he imposed the tariffs, then announced he’d be willing to negotiate new trade terms and the EU opened the drawer and got out that proposal from 10 years ago.

Basically what the EU always wanted in the first place.

So now he thinks he can make demands extraterritoriality

To quote the grandmother of a friend: “Wish into one hand and shit into the other, see which one is filled first”

“I’m just asking questions!”

Anyone that says it wasn’t a Nazi salute is almost certainly a Nazi.

And it doesn’t even matter if it really was or wasn’t. If you make that gesture for whatever reason and you don’t bend over backwards to make clear it was a mistake or a bad joke or whatever and you don’t position yourself clearly against it, it doesn’t matter if it was or wasn’t a Nazi salute. Because the right (wrong) people heard you.

Conservapedia views Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity as promoting moral relativism

I just spat out my coffee :D utter lunacy

Let’s just say it’s complicated.

She’s a conservative and domestically that meant a focus on the status quo, infrastructure was neglected (digital and otherwise), a lot of privatization, stagnating social programs, stagnating wages and more.

Her foreign policy and her statesmanship on the other hand was widely respected.

It’s sure as fuck echoing right now and folks need to fucking listen.

Not alone regarding to US politics, the whole world eerily feels in a similar turmoil like 100 years ago. Let’s hope enough people recognize the overture of the symphony of horrors that is attached to it. Let’s hope we can turn it around before the true demons of our past come to haunt us all.

I feel you, I had that happen once or twice myself. Reading back I understand how you got there, I phrased it rather aggressively .
