You can't say lesser evilism got us here when we chose the greater evil in the election before last. If we kept voting lesser evil maybe, but we don't consistently. Not nearly enough to make the greater evil not think they stand a chance without lessening themselves.

Citizens united is horrible, but what I think they are talking about is a little different and also bad. Arguably addressed directly in the constitution but the SC doesn't care. This isn't lobbying, these are emoluments from foreign governments as far as I can tell.

No one is made for war... except 007 after he caught that brain eating amoeba from the gulf coast.

Not really. Our mother is very lenient and he was in training for the tail end of it. One of the reasons I knew it wasn't exactly a fair question to him. He was in a situation where he would be doing better, but his financial situation, while having a better outlook for the future, did not materialize until biden. In general "how were you four years ago" is a complicated question.

He'd spent about two years thinking "woe is me" and waiting for a family situation to resolve itself. If it had resolved itself for the better I think he believed he'd never have to work again. I don't think I'm allowed to say "exactly" how it resolved, but I can say things twisted in a stupid way and I'm pissed about it. After that he went into training for about two years. Regardless of his prospects he also had more how going into 2017 than going into 2021, for reasons that have nothing to do with the president.

I asked my brother this four years ago. He said he was. It was a bad question to ask him because there are many factors that can determine this besides who the president is. Still... he was unemployed from 2017 to 2021 and he felt in 2020 he was doing better than he was when he had a job and could support himself. I bet he'd answer no today despite being employed for most of the last 4 years. He was fired briefly for saying "something they interpreted as racist" but he got a new job real quick. He bought a house under biden. I think it was a mistake and he could wind up upside down real soon, but he went from unemployed to rushing into home ownership. People who are committed will believe the reality they want to.

But then you need to specify if it's the civil fraud case in new york or the criminal fraud case in new york.

Why are people down voting you? This is a great idea! Give guns to the government that administers Puerto Rico. I'm sure they will be willing to hand those guns right back... to the government that administers Taiwan.

I think you have Azerbaijan and Armenia flipped.

"If voting made a difference, they would make it illegal"

"One party is trying "

There was an adjective for C++. It's just the pointer was dropped.

I don't like youtube shorts much but I'm reminded of this https://youtube.com/shorts/VcYT1ZcB_5w?si=E1stp-oOBCE6GtPU

The desenting opinion called the court the "library police" for refusing to let the state police the library.

That is a lot of parents and siblings who will not forget this. They feel pain too, and will not respond well.

I've played that hoi4 scenario as Czechcoslovakia and the only reason it's winnable is because it's a game and the ai makes huge mistakes.

I've been comparing this invasion of ukraine to Czechcoslovakia since almost the start, but there are differences. Not really between the justification or the foreign policy that the Russian government is using. Between the relative strength of Czechcoslovakia v nazi Germany and ukraine v russia. Also between ukraine's negotiated treaties. Ukraine appears stronger than Czechcoslovakia but never obtained a defensive pact with a single other country. The Czechoslovaks had a defensive pact, but it was quickly abandoned. I still see letting them fall as akin to appeasement, some vying for leadership positions have suggested that abandoning defense pacts is justified sometimes. If it's justified sometimes you may try to find a hole to make it justified all the time. All ukraine had been promised was weapons and we may be in a position where we tell ourselves we did our part even if we didn't do enough.

That's fair, and I'm sure many of those politicians in both parties have committed it as well. However the subject of the article has committed vast amounts of it. I think that's worth mentioning. He's the subject of the article after all.

Especially since their candidate committed it against all those polish immigrants to build one of his towers.

Ha why not. In fact I'll go further. I just donated 200 dollars to humanitarian aid in gaza. I half thought about making it on the condition of him signing this bill, but then I thought it would be cruel for them to never receive it. It helps more than denying the reality of any differences between parties. After all of we can accept that reality why would they try to go any further?

If his words mean nothing then stop posting his words denouncing the ICC as proof he supports these sanctions. Let me know if he signs it.

Linkerbaan's article isn't on this bill. Articles on this bill say he doesn't support it https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero

Again denouncing and sanctioning have differences. He wags his finger, but he is against punching them down.

Biden does not agree with this move. Denouncing is using words and sanctions are actions. Biden has implied that he opposes this bill and his administration have stated that they do not support sanctions. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero
