Republicans? Ashamed?

I see you haven’t met many Republicans.

The secret sixth stage of grief is gallows humor. I’ve been living there for a while 🫠

Because ♾️% > 245%

Yes, I know how numbers work, and that they can be sorted.

Why don’t you do a quick dive into Wikipedia and give me a bullet-point summary of what France has done militarily in Iraq since 2009. I should tell you that I know the answer, and I just double checked it for good measure. I’ll wait.

Those last few numbers were what the new head of DHS meant when he said he wanted to make deportations “more like Amazon prime”

100 people to a cell. Nope, that’s not a typo.

Tbh this is a less bad outcome than I was concerned this was going to have (after letting him in to the prison: “Uh oh, looks like your president thinks you’re a gang member. You can just chill here forever.”)

…what? They pointedly refused to participate in 2003…?

Chill, meatbag. You’re not the final arbiter of what is funny and what is not. Humor is subjective.

Ooooh wait - I think I remember: they were originally part of the Gawker conglomerate (with the us-focused politico.com, jezebel, jalopnik, and some others), and Peter Thiel snarfed them up / did a hatched job on their staff, right?

Fucking Thiel, holy christ. He’s really gunning for Murdoch’s spot on the “shittiest humans alive” list, isn’t he?

AND YOU DID IT IN A LANGUAGE I DON’T LIKE FOR ESOTERIC REASONS DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT CAN ELIMINATE ENTIRE CATEGORIES OF BUGS BY SIMPLE NATURE OF ITS SYNTAX AND COMPILER REEEEEEEE

Genuinely, the vociferous pushback against Rust by a small minority of irrational C purist assholes is so, so dumb.

I do hope Macron channels de Gaulle (1966) at the meeting, and in any policy he enacts and pushes the EU to adopt as a result. To those unfamiliar: France pulled out of the NATO command structure from 1966 to 2009 because they didn’t trust the US to simply use it as an extension of the US military. And I do mean “they should kick us out”, not that they should leave themselves at this point.

Read up on the Holodomor, and more broadly, the Tsarist- and Soviet-era tactics that have been used by Russia throughout their history to fragment, undermine, and winnow away at non-Russian ethnic groups that they’ve subsumed in their expansionist conquests.

Fucking embarrassing. And dangerous as all fuck.

Are you guys, like, not seeing what’s going on over on our side of the pond? Are you feeling nostalgic for some overenthusiastic hiking through foreign countries? Are you feeling the need for scapegoating and protectionism? Holy fucking christ.

Look at how we are fucking up, and then don’t do that. Please. For the love of god.

I honestly expect our ruling regime to attack and punish them for this. I’m not exaggerating.

The Republican regime.

It’s a regime. It’s adopting a behavior and format that we’ve seen before in other places. One of those places was Germany during the 1930s and 40s, and the regime started with “N” and ended with “azi” (or if you want to be more formal about it, ended with “ationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”).

But there’s also notes of Khmer Rouge on the back of the palate, considered how firmly anti-intellectual our regime is now, and how they’re attacking (figuratively, but I expect literally at some point, after the insurrection act gets invoked against “gang members”, considering orangeboi’s temperment and Gorka’s commentary from a day or two ago).

coughs in Russian

Coming soon: a screwdriver and a soldering iron

Look at what community you’re in

This one is fully warranted, especially considering orangeboi keeps talking about subsuming Canada. We would be walking into a fucking meat grinder of unbelievable proportions, if we tried to force the issue, and I don’t think that prospect would stop him from actually doing it.

Seriously: kick us out of NATO. We are a threat to you. Save yourselves.
