  • Horseshit. That status quo has always been a Taiwan free of CCP rule. The PRC has never controlled Taiwan and their stated goal is to make it part of their country by any means necessary; that's disrupting that status quo. The US, on the other hand, supports the status quo of the ROC existing and the people of Taiwan being allowed to decide what they want for themselves.

    Even the most shameless CCP propagandist should realize that trying to convince people of the ridiculous lie that the country promising imperial conquest of land that's never been theirs "wants to maintain the status quo" is foolish nonsense.

  • The news media needs to stop using the word "reunify" to refer to the PRC's threatened imperial conquest of an island they've never controlled.

  • That's the story he tells, at least. He just so happened to fly to Moscow alongside a Kremlin intelligence asset the day after his US passport was revoked and then, oopsie, he had to stay there; never you mind that there were direct flights from Hong Kong to Ecuador, he had to go through Moscow to get there because... reasons.

  • This is the same Hunter Biden scandal. The only reality-based Hunter Biden scandal, in fact.

  • Member-only story

    Medium wants me to pay them to read a story from "Homeless Romantic" who is listed as a "Ph.D. Rocket Surgeon & Aspiring Troglodyte"?

    Are they fucking high?

  • Washington Post so badly wanted to get into the "Dems in disarray" game that they hired an author away from Politico.

  • LMAO. Yeah, that's why he ran to hide under Putin's skirt; because he didn't want to be used as a pawn in Russian propaganda.

  • Then he's an even bigger idiot because appeals to this NY state civil case are never going to be in front of the Supreme Court under any possible circumstances.

  • This week, lawmakers are trying to reach a last-minute agreement on tough immigration and border security proposals tied to a $100 billion legislative package that would provide foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel. The frail deal—being brokered by a bipartisan group of senators led by Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and James Lankford (R-Okla.)—seems increasingly unlikely to materialize before the end of the year.

    Because young voters are stupid, ignorant fucks that do things like blame the President for what Congress does?

    You're right; that is why young voters are bailing on Biden.

  • Whenever you see a "progressive" outlet these days you unfortunately have to wonder if they're a legitimate progressive outlet or just yet another outlet for Kremlin propaganda aimed at the left. Fortunately there's a pretty easy way to check: Look at the results to a search for "Ukraine"

    And when you find shit like this:

    Illusory Truth Effect: The “Unprovoked” Invasion of Ukraine

    NATO Enlargement to Ukraine Could Trigger World War III

    You know what you're looking at.

  • This Kremlin propaganda outlet only cares about Jared Kushner when they're criticizing Israel.

    48 Search Results for: Hunter Biden

    39 Search Results for: Jared Kushner

    It would be amazing that they've covered private citizen Hunter Biden more than they covered Trump Admin official Jared Kushner if I were a credulous enough sucker to actually believe they were a good-faith progressive publication.

  • good for the economy

    You know, there are people out there who would suggest that how "good" an economy is should be measured by how well everyone's needs are cared for while minimizing the amount of labor expenditure needed.

    But sure, lets keep going with the 'line go up without any consideration of quality of life' definition since it's working so well for the oligarchs.

  • Looking trough the fediverse, I spy a common mistake, Aware of being 'that guy', But pressing forward nonetheless, Long since having stopped giving a fuck, Even though I know it is prone to cause annoyance.

  • Well, fuck all that. I still end up scraping by every month on pocket change and prayers.

    The actual data says it has nothing to do with personal experience and everything to do with what the media tells people. When polled last month, voters in swing states were split down the middle on what they experienced in their own lives, whether their local city or town's economy was heading in the right direction, but three out of four said the national economy, something they have no first hand understanding of, is going in the wrong direction.

    The oligarch-owned media constantly tells everyone that things are terrible but people look at their own lives and local economy and don't see it, so they assume it's happening everywhere else.
