Thank you for your service.

No, most of the debt is owned domestically by the people

What you are referring to is known as Appeasement and, historically, has been a bad idea.

Mostly because the US has to actually develop and research new weapon technology and China just copies everything so they don’t need to spend as much.

Well it’s a .ru domain so that site is russian and there is this bit

That is why the current government of Burkina Faso needs Russian assistance not only to ensure victory over terrorism, but also to carry out effective economic reforms, create new jobs, and develop resources on equal terms.

Which doesn’t mean anything per se but it’s kinda suspect.

I’m just happy they found them. Historically, the TSA doesn’t do a good job finding guns.

I think that was the Super Max 8?

Two things here. One is that you are confusing New York and New York City. I absolutely do believe an entire state can manage better than a city. The second thing is that Texas and other border states do receive federal funds for managing the border. Not as much as maybe they require but they do get federal help.

It’s not about how people vote. It’s about getting people to vote. Emotionally charged people are more likely to vote/volunteer/donate etc.

I’m talking out of my ass by the way, I have nothing to prove any of this.

My pet theory is that this was said specifically to destabilize the US. As others have said, this is not new. China has been saying this for a long time. But 100% the GOP is going to call Biden weak for not shutting Xi down and instead saying the US supports a "One China Policy " without any critical thought as to what the dynamics are.

This is to fire up the right wing base.

I thought the same thing. Here’s the archived Texas Observer article on it, which is what this article’s source seems to be.

Apparently the principal heard from another student that this kid was “making threats” against her. Sounds pretty thin to me.

I’m not even mad. I’m impressed, that’s amazing.

That post is outstanding and is a wonderful writeup that highlights the danger of associating with a company as morally bankrupt as Meta.

There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.

What does any of that have to do with Republicans trying to subvert the ballot initiatives in Ohio? Which is what this post is about.

My issue with what you are doing is that your comment here, and most of your other political themed comments elsewhere, are always taking aim at the democrats. Yes, there is a lot to be said about the current democratic party, what they haven’t done and perhaps more importantly what they have done, but in my albeit really quick scroll through your comments I don’t think I saw you actually talk about how Republicans are fucking shit up, only how democrats are failing.

What democrats did 80 years ago on the federal level is completely irrelevant to what Republicans are doing right now on the state level in Ohio.

Which politicians? Don’t use a vague term and “both sides” this.

I’ll accept the risk. I need the clicky

I’ll take emails over unnecessary meetings any day though

I think he had a stroke. I saw him in another thread saying some stupid shit too.

Alternatively, send me down in a shady submarine.
