It's an older meme. We thought Romney was so awful back in 2012. We do miss the days when McCain was the nominee.

Who were they "taking the east" from?

What is the threat to Russia's existence?

You have this backwards. The war is existential for Ukrainians. Russians decided to annex Crimea, and then luhansk and Donesk. When Kiev caught for it's own territory, the Russians went for the capitol and attempted to overthrow the whole country.

Half a million Russian families had to get used to it already.

Yes. I do prefer to watch films not in English in their original language.

The only exception would be very fast dialogue or multiple people speaking at once. But I can read at the speed of most movie speech.

It's also possible they will stop the zapp Brannigan tactics and dig in to wait for the west to lose interest.

You are talking about Russia right?

Agreed, we must all hang together.....

Reading your post I am reminded of the contempt I felt for the priority police.

Lemmy isn't exactly "the left"

I'm sure I wasn't the only one not disagreeing with the genocide that made the calculated decision to vote straight ticket dem anyway.

Damn, that slaps.

If another jan 6 happens the capitol police should join in.

And the DC metro.

I doubt they would, but they should.

Lefties supported Kamala. I dunno where you are getting that they didn't.

He took way longer to do it, but that's a good summary. He left office because the prez could only serve two terms but had congress transfer most of the power to the prime ministership and he got that job, so they had a puppet president for 4 years. Then they said he just can't serve more than 2 terms consecutively so they restored the power of the presidency and he returned to office and they modified the constitution to remove the two term limit and here we are.

The current head of the national intelligence service is a Russian Asset. She's probably feeding Putin approved information to Trump, along with Putin himself in their private phone calls.

Military power and wealth have an irrisisatable pull. China can still make deals and do diplomacy. Even North Korea can cut deals with Russia. Russia and Iran work together. One nations pariah state is anothers opportunity.

The rest of the world will hedge their bets, but if the US negotiators start talking sense again after the trump admin they will attend the meetings and make agreements hoping for the best. International law people live and breathe the hypocrisy of tyrants and democrats alike.

The optimism of the 1990s is dead, but that was a lie even then. The US reputation as the "leader of the free world" is dead. It was a self appointed title anyway.

The world will keep spinning and deals will still be made by non idiots.

If the predictions in this thread of a hot civil war in the US prove true, then deals will be made with whatever comes out of that.

I hope not, but I am not optimistic about the next few years/decades

20 years of progress?

12 years is optimistic. Every Republican has been a mistake going back to Nixon, but the US is a fundamentally conservative country, we want corruption in the highest halls of power, and our voters will keep coming back to it.

Thank you for the clarification.

They don't realize that..... Yet.

"electric vehicles factories were built" "the government had nothing to do with it."

These people deserve trump, Amazon, and poverty if they can't see the connection between the inflation reduction act and electric vehicle factories.

That's the only good thing about democracy. You generally get the government you deserve.

Americans are pissed as all hell. Michael Moore said in 2016 "the American people will throw Donald Trump into Washington like a Molotov Cocktail."

We do not agree who is at fault. 40% the voters think it's brown people and queer people and about 30% of them think it's the wealthy.
