Both houses of which are under Republican control. So you’re only going to argue details instead of actually responding to the content?

First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

Second: Even if he didn’t, how would that matter for Ukraine? Removing both their support and the sanctions on Russia would still hurt them a lot.

Wasn’t Fox News started specifically to ensure that wouldn’t happen again?

Is no one else gonna do it? Alright, guess I’m it.

Steve Harvey: “We asked 100 people, what is the male reproductive organ?”

Contestant: “The penis”

SH: “A WUH… HUH??”

audience erupts into laughter

Steve Harvey grabs onto podium to support himself

laughter gets even louder

SH: O lordy…

one man goes into cardiac arrest and many others begin vomiting profusely from laughing too hard

SH: YOU PEOPLE NEED HELP

the Earth shatters and Satan rises from the underworld to claim unworthy souls

the universe begins rapidly closing in on itself

SH: (putting on a weary voice) Survey says…

the board shows 100 for “penis”

Harvey is able to get off one more shocked look before existence as we know it comes to an end

The damage to the environment will never be undone. The US will double-down on emissions and most other countries in the world will stop trying because they won’t think there’s any point anymore.

The country with the biggest military of the world, who they have received a lot of support from, just elected a president that supports the dictatorship committing crimes against humanity in their country. Do you not see how that is problematic?

Yeah, great fun watching the planet we all share start boiling and ruining the future not just for our own species but for millions of others.

I would guess that she’s trying to separate the voters from the representatives, so that when someone calls out a republican politician for being racist, they have a harder time convincing their voters that she was calling them racist as well.

Right now it seems like people see their political party as their identity, there are both democrats and republicans who do it but I’d say it is far, far more common with republicans.

You can, and should, hold your representatives accountable when they do bad shit, regardless of whether you voted for them or not, and if your party starts standing for things that are worse than another party then you should change who you vote for.

It’s a long road to get back from this division in the US, but I hope there’s a future where it’s possible.

I can add that if you ever say something that you yourself think was stupid, it’s often better to just own up to it than to play it off (within limits). Something like “That was a stupid thing for me to say, I’m sorry, you’re just very beautiful and I’m a bit nervous” as an example.

Implying that the only two options are supporting Israel committing genocide or Hamas committing terrorism is like straight out of of the Israeli regime’s playbook.

Wait, you have to be happy for that?

Guess I’m into men.

I don’t want to ruin your fun but some of us have feet that aren’t ticklish in the slightest.

Finnish: “Wait, you guys have articles?”

I agree that it’s likely made up, and that the guy likely has a lot of misogynistic views, but you at least don’t need to misrepresent the post.

When did they claim that Israel wasn’t to blame? Two things can be true at the same time.

There’s a saying that humans only understand three probabilities: 0%, 50%, and 100%. So if 90% of people who are rich were born into wealth and 90% of all people are not wealthy, what does that mean?

Usually the knee-jerk response is to say that it’s equally easy for rich and poor to end up wealthy, or sarcastically claim that it’s supposedly impossible to become wealthy if you were poor.

Statistically, it’d mean that while 10% of rich people were self-made, they’d only represent 1% of the overall population, meaning it’d be roughly 100 times more likely for someone who wasn’t born wealthy to remain poor.

These are gross oversimplifications with numbers that are not based on fact, but it’s just a simple example to show that something can be possible in a system where certain people are disadvantaged and it doesn’t detract from the fact that systemic issues exist.

And how do you propose to create this organization and get countries to agree on its legitimacy?

I am offended by this.

It’s obviously z = boobs.

Highly recommend it, Tina Fey is an icon. Just beware that you’ll be quoting her character more often than you’ll notice yourself.

Solely? Solely?
