can we take a moment to appreciate that Yemen started doing this, got bombed by the U.S. (again), continued doing it, the U.S. begged them to stop with promises of treats and pats on the head, and Yemen was just like nah (with that baller line "We are not within the circle of those you dictate to”) and kept doing it? All while being one of the poorest countries in the world. Absolute king shit

lmfao everyone please watch the video in the linked article, it's hilarious. When he pulls out the super tiny paper shredder I laughed out loud. It legit feels like a scene from an Austin Powers movie or something.

this and that other school that ended their encampment on a promise for a divestment vote in like November or whatever are exactly why you don't let liberals lead your protest movements. It's fucking embarrassing

I always thought non-compete agreements were so bizarre. like why would a company get to have any say where I can work after I stop working for them lol. Same vibes as an HOA telling you what color you're allowed to paint your house or how long your grass can be

Harris also delivered remarks that reiterated Biden’s stance and seemed designed to soften criticism of Biden’s position on the war, namely that he values the U.S. relationship with Israel more than Palestinians. She said Biden was “sincere” in his concerns, according to an attendee. She told the group she sees how much the war and the civilian death toll are “weighing on” the president and insisted he is “doing absolutely everything that he can to put an end to this war.”

i hate these motherfuckers so much

“While there is a debate about the effectiveness of sanctions, what we are now seeing is what would start to happen if the sanctions were removed,” said Byrne. “This is giving North Korea a very significant lift.”

oh no, anything but that

reminder for anyone who wasn't aware: the "Third Assault Brigade" the article mentions is literally just the rebranded Azov battalion lol. Eat shit, Nazis

Stewart can be funny but he is definitely still a lib. reposting an old comment of mine:

when I was a lib I used to like The Daily Show because it was kinda cathartic to watch them mock conservatives.

However I remember one episode where they were covering a story about students at Berkeley protesting the marines opening up a recruiting office on campus, and basically the entire segment was them shitting on these kids. The students were anti-war and didn’t want the US military recruiting future killers on their campus. The Daily Show even had their news correspondent Rob Riggle (retired marine) interviewing students and trapping them in ridiculous “gotchas” to make them look dumb. It was one of the first moments as a baby leftist where I was like “wait… why are they doing this? those kids are right to not want the military at their school.” And watching this thickneck piece of shit Riggle bully young people who obviously don’t know enough to “debate” him while a camera is shoved in their face was infuriating.

Then later I watched Stewart perform at USO shows in Iraq and Afghanistan (among other places) to entertain these imperialist tools and I just lost any shred of respect I still had for him. He even had that awful “Rally to Restore Sanity” event in D.C. which was effectively a giant centrist circlejerk that accomplished absolutely nothing. I haven’t even paid attention to anything he’s done since but I’m not the least bit surprised that he’s still a dipshit.

also don't ask him about his views on China

These are the ones who put up Baphomet Statues next to nativity scenes and shit like that.

the statues kick ass btw and caused Oklahoma's supreme court to rule that the ten commandments monument violated the state's constitution lol

yea I'm not about to defend a billionaire but the no mask thing is so weird. Like I still wear a mask when I go out to the store or whatever and have never (even going back to 2020) had anyone be like "bwuh??? I can't understand you because of your mask"

that whole weather balloon embarrassment

speaking of that, even though the US has openly admitted that the balloon wasn't a surveillance device and didn't collect any data, just yesterday my local news station was still calling it a "spy balloon" lol

It's difficult to express in words how I feel seeing my country trip over itself to throw billions of dollars into a black hole while millions of my own people live in poverty and die of preventable diseases. How long have we been fighting for something as basic as universal healthcare and the answer is always "it costs too much." I guess money is no object when we're funding nazis
