Media keeps reporting Israeli strikes "threaten to derail" ceasefire.

Um, there is no ceasefire if there are strikes and people are killed.

And will they undo the applause of Trump for doing basically nothing?

And it may sway more of the indifferent to be against the regime, which is vital to establish good vs. evil in the minds of the public.

I think there are a lot of people who'd be happy living under Aragorn's rule... but a leader so good and kind and wise and noble and strong can only be fictional.

The problem with communism isn't communism it's corrupt authoritarian dictators that lead communist countries.

Why don't people point that out?

Corrupt authoritarian leaders are ALWAYS the problem no matter what the "system of government" is on paper.

He is talking DIRECTLY to Republican voters in Appalachia.

Argentina's politics seems to be voters choosing between fascists and lunatics.

The idea that there aren't women in key roles in star trek production and fandom is so preposterous it's like it came out of nowhere.

Is this really what some people believe? I assume the proponents of these attitudes are mostly men?

Good lord, what's wrong with them?

As a youngun observing income inequality I thought "if they want to do business and make money here (Canada) they'll pay their taxes and follow the rules or they'll leave and someone else will take their place."

This is not hard... when politicians aren't corrupt and stupid.

Explain what happens. Evidence he raped minors that most people already believe happens FINALLY pushes the few liar-deniers over the line?

Then what?

All this performative shit by Trump.

The US needs our stuff, we need their money so it's only changing when the stuff they need from us is not available to them because we're selling it to someone else.

Then...

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

If a few Republican senators in blue states leave their US House of Representatives seats, does Mike Johnson immediately lose his role as speaker to a Democrat?

I hope health insurers are writing clauses into their policies to the effect of "knowingly and intentionally consuming raw milk voids your health insurance".
