If you ask a russian there is a good chance they will tell you Russia is “defending” one thing or another in Ukraine.
Or that russia is in fact defending itself from an attack from “the west” atm.
It’s all bullshit, but propaganda will do its thing.
Nothing (russian) stopping NK from trying to “defend” some shit in SK as well.
Off course they will then find out that Putins word is not worth the dickhole it came out of, but that’s another story.
Russia and entering treaties that neither party intends to honor…
That is waaaaaay too cohesive of a text.
Trump would never stay on one point for that long.
He used to purposefully change topics frequently to keep on bullshitting when he was less demented and now he just isn’t able to focus for long enough to talk about one topic for that long.
A high-profile British judge who resigned from Hong Kong’s highest court last week has warned the city is “slowly becoming a totalitarian state”
Slowly becoming my ass…
HK is already totalitarian af.
Why do you think you can dictate to anyone what to wear?
Not that my opinion matters any more than the next person’s, but I also can’t recommend Celeste enough.
It does so many things so very right.
The pure gameplay is crisp and responsive platforming.
Like any good platfmorer it has some specific mechanics that make it unique, but every one is intuitive enough to pick up easily enough.
I have heard it called something like “the hardest platformer that everyone can finish.”
And it is true. I could never finish some of the harder SMB levels but I never got too frustrated with Celeste.
And if I were, there would have been accessibility options to make the game more approachable.
But it also caters to the hardcore crowd with completely optional collectibles that are organically included into the gorgeous level design.
It is speedrunnable for those folks.
And as if that wasn’t enough to make a good platformer it also tells a heartwarming story supported by a beautiful soundtrack.
Sorry I am rambling, but Celeste is fucking awesome.
I mean wouldn’t you also much rather be bribed than blackmailed?

Which is clearly stated in the article that you willfully missquoted.

I don’t think that applies here.
The democrats oppose this spy tool because it is badly regulated and prone to abuse.
The Trump loyalists oppose this spy tool because it may expose some of Trumps crimes and treason.
Well the stock rising does generate money for Trump no matter if anyone shortsells it.
If you shortsell, you position yourself against the stock.
If it rises Trump wins and you lose.
If it falls Trump loses and you win.
But neither way is it you shorting the stock that makes Trump win.
He wins if the company represented by the stock actually grows in value and the stock price rises or if idiots buy his stocks and make the price go up.
But I predict that after a brief rush on the stock by his gullible idiots in the beginning noone will want to buy his stock anymore.
That’s why I would consider shorting it, because I predict the stock to keep falling.
This I predict because I think the company that is represented by the stock is shit and basically worthless, which the stockprice should represent in due time.
A shortseller thus wants to profit off of Trumps losses.
Also, I don’t quite remember what happens if shorting fails, but it benefits the stock, doesn’t it?
First things first, I don’t really know how to actually shortsell stuff. My portfolio is super basic and my original comment was only half serious.
But I think you have the causality the wrong way around.
It’s less that the stock profits if my short fails.
It’s more that my short fails (in that I lose money) if the price of the stock goes up.
A single small shortsale can’t really affect the stock price in a meaningful way, but if it could it would generally lower the stocks price since it is a signal that the market (which the shortseller is a part of) has no trust in the stock.
That said I am by no means a trading expert myself and could possibly miss some effects on the market.
I only invest long term in broadly spread ETFs (think MSCI World and similar).
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I also would never think of actually investing in anything Trump.
Shortselling is betting that the stock value falls without actually holding the stock.
That stock is the first time that I actually considered shortselling anything.
I am by no means am expert.
I just went of this:
The halberd is still the ceremonial weapon of the Swiss Guard in the Vatican.
And I am pretty sure that in German they call the weapon of the Swiss Guard Hellebarde.
You will be happy to hear they still use halberds instead.
I mean I guess.
But I always liked the idea of reclaiming stuff from the assholes.
So if people think this template is nice to make memes with, I always enjoyed taking it away from Crowder without giving him the power to stop anyone from using it.
In my eyes he doesn’t own this meme, but I can see your point.
So by your own claim you are part of the polytheistic church of Paul?
That just is not catholicism.
Which is so easy to prove because the catholics love to write down their many rules.
So I honestly would just answer right back at you:
FFS read a book.
And btw, while I have been an atheist for many years now, I was raised strictly catholic in a highly religious area by my catholic family that included a catholic nun and the headmaster of a catholic school and I intensively studied christianity before I made my break with this religion.
You can’t bullshit me.
Steven Crowder is a well known asshole with an internet presence that he uses to sow misogyny and other forms of hate.
I don’t want to see his face in memes.
