Just like was planned. Golly, Krasnov sure lifted oil sanctions on ruzzia quickly, didn't he?

Total shithole. Iranian people deserve better but it's only going to get worse thanks to Trump leaving them hanging and Bibi helping bomb them.

Cue McConnell obstruction bullshit with lazy filibuster. Mere 3 month period over Obamas 8 years where he had a supermajority, and even then Lieberman fucked him.

Well I'll be. For the first time in a while I'm proud of America for being progressive on this.

Same here. Personally I thought the British comedy Coupling was so much better done.

Who knew adding a whole bunch of oxidizers to fix your other fuckup tends to be bad for cheap paint.

Idk why people say this. It wasn't the turning point. Trump had been hounding Obama on the false birther issue since he was elected practically, stoking the flames of the tea party. It was inevitable he was going to run.

(That's the point).

Been saying since the start: Iran is likely in on all this

  • IRGC Coup -- The IRGC has LONG been wanting to make a move over the Ayatollah. Now the new Ayatollah is a sockpuppet and the IRGC has completely taken over by way of coup.

  • Quelled Civil Unrest -- Prior to this conflict, civil unrest in Iran was heavily mounting. Thousands upon thousands out on the street. Now Iranian dissidents hopeful for being rescued were baited out of their homes, only to be slaughtered the first time Trump left them hanging, and the second time Israel and USA suddenly became the new threat and rallied the masses around while also indicating nobody was actually coming to save them from the tyranny within.

  • Superficial Damage -- Most damage done to Iran has largely been superficial for media optics. Even their nuclear program has largely remained intact.

  • New Cashflow -- Not only has this massively benefitted Russia with lifted oil sanctions, the IRGC got a massive injection into their own economy, both with the new toll system but also the literal cited fucking article above.

Meanwhile Trump doesn't give a shit. His goal as a Trojan Orange has been a success.

As an American, I'm rooting for Canada.

But this all feels very by design of Putin to fracture US alliances.

So they're torturing her. Israel is torturing her.

Friendly reminder that literally all legalization legislation and referendums have come through the Democratic party.

Biden already pledged support. He needs youth vote. There's literally no reason he wouldn't unless he was blocked by Republicans...

... Which he is.

FDR was much closer to being a Social Democrat than a Democratic Socialist. They sound similar but are quite different. Hell I think Bernie is closer to a Social Democrat, too. He praises the Nordic model and they're textbook social democracies.

The thing is, you can sometimes get through to these Trump supporters if you can deprogram them from their echo-chamber... That requires very long conversations, an expose of facts, dismantling of their fallacies, and keeping them away from right-wing propaganda and peer pressure for an extended period of time.

... Which just so happens to be what jurors go through.

Ok my respect is quickly dropping for these buffoons caught in the crossfire. But it's like interviewing an attendee from a nazi rally, what should I expect? Critical thinking? Morals? Hah!

"devout Republican" haha... They're a religious cult.

That poor child... And those poor ems workers who had to dig out her little body...

I tagged along with my wife for a pool day at her friend's house with our kids. I was swimming along near the wall of the pool when my foot was violently pulled into the vaccuum line. Really spooked me. It's code for those suction lines to have a spring-loaded cover. This one didn't. I luckily freed my foot and went to check the valves on the pump. All suction was routed to the vacuum line, none to skimmer.

Some expensive pumps have an anti-entrapment system but most do not.

I warned her to get that shit fixed ASAP...

For commercial pools of this scale, there's just no chance to resist.

I own a pool now and I take all that shit very seriously. You don't mess around with water.
