I’d swear that there is a message group specifically for .ml users to jump in whenever any criticism is leveled at China.

It’s pretty hard to be worse than the guy whose used nerve has on his own people and turned his country into a major producer for the international drug trade.

He’s at least trying to put on a facade of meaning them, which is about as good as Syria has had it in my life time.

I’m not. I’m saying this will lead to China becoming the premier world power instead of us.

Imagine having reading comprehension skills. jfc

The really ugly thing here is, al-Sharaa is the best thing to happen to Syria in decades. Most people have been urging recognition of his government and the relaxation of sanctions because he’s about as good we can expect a leader of Syria to be.

And he is still bribing Trump.

This isn’t merely corruption. This is the *normalization * of corruption. Even countries that abide by democratic norms and international law are going to need to grease palms to conduct regular diplomatic relations. The EU and UK and Canada might be able to weather his bullshit until he folds like he always does, but developing nations will be stuck trying to bid for American favor.

Welcome to the Chinese century.

From everything I’ve read, the New York constitution allows her to remove him since he has been charged. Though it may be too late now.

The common theory is she didn’t want a special election that Cuomo could win without going through a primary.

Unless Kathy Hochul somehow contributes to the final end of the American democracy, not removing this cretin from office will be the worst thing she has ever done. Gonna be a rough couple of years for New York incumbents.

Let’s be frank about it, the second he dropped the (D) after his name, he officially became a lame duck. Even if people were willing to overlook the corruption and the corruption to get out of the trial for his corruption, no non-Democrat is going to get elected Mayor of NYC in the near future.

Because overall people don’t like it, particularly when it comes to creating “art.”

What is the actual justification for this? Everyone has to pay for this except for AI companies, so AI can continue to develop into a universally regarded negative?

Yes. Which is part of my point.

In no way does that answer my question.

Is it possible that people driven out of their homes by war and disaster might understand the promise of America better than you?

I really hate it when corporate Twitter accounts try to be quirky. Wendy’s trolling McDonald’s was funny for a bit but even that got old and I blame it for making this sort of thing common.

The really irritating thing to me is seeing the Trumpanzees mock Canada, talking like this is the end of Canada as a country.

No self-awareness, no realization that Trump’s policies are the direct cause of this. They can’t conceive of any way to advance their interests beyond people just abasing themselves before Trump.

There’s something very irritating to me about the President using the word “trolling.”

Maybe I’m being a stick in the mud, but the Leader of the Free World using Internet slang just doesn’t seem right to me. It’s petty, I know, but still.

It is not, however, as irritating as people defending the shit he does to throw the global economy and international community into chaos, by saying he’s just trolling.

In all honesty, if he left politics and stayed out of it I wouldn’t my just leaving him to his harem and 40k.

America’s democracy is in dire enough straits that we don’t need to be stuck fighting the world’s richest man on top of the whole mechanism of government. If he’ll get and stay gone, I say leave him to it.

On the other hand, he’s rich enough that he can jump back in at any time and go back to fucking our democracy and he’s proven to be impulsive and mercurial, willing to throw his lot in with fascists because he got trolled on Twitter over how skin deep his progressive credentials are.

Again that would be you.

All I have to do because it’s the truth.

What should the Democrats be doing then?
