@serenity Correct. Lincoln nearly lost 1864 wartime election, while Churchill did lose 1945 wartime election.

If no honest election where war leader yes COULD lose - It isn't democracy.

Ukraine isn't. War there is a fight between 2 corrupt oligarchies, 2 dictators equally criminal.

(Or 3 if you count USSA. USA "leader", already criminal escaping justice, arrests his opposition leader also. Pathetic.)

Is Zelensky scared? The "lost" eastern territories are only Russia-loving traitors of Crimea & Donbas... surely Z wins even better with them gone, remaining voters in loyal Ukrainian oblasts.

If any Ukraine constitution or law changes are needed, Zelensky has plenty of time to do them. No democracy supporter could object.

@blablarg18 well, no those are gov stats, numbers say than it's about 0,04% of detransition, you might question those but so far it is that. Blockers do not permanently sterilise you because trans people have been getting pregnant, so do not generalize that, I'd say that blockers are bad specially because of osteoporosis etc, and yes in her case testosterone gave her baldness etc... does that happen to every case tho? I do not know why you refuse to see the gray areas in all this, likely because you have already a bias and are just anti-trans, and do not care about kids at all, if you did you would not be a traditionalist conservative.

@raphjd said in USA stops its official racism in uni admissions, so Obamas tweet about "oppression" - from a luxury yacht:

@myrea

AA has nothing to do with income.

Wealthy blacks benefit from AA, just like poor black kids.

Poor white boys get screwed by AA.

Females, despite being the majority in college, still get AA.

AA is racist and sexist.

People seem to forget that Elizabeth Warren benefited from AA by claiming to be native indian.

The brother of Mindy Kaling actually got rejected from med school from multiple universities due to AA, but when he shaved his head and claimed to be black, admissions couldn't get him enrolled fast enough.

Worth a follow-up.

Prighozin reported dead, last August 'reported' because some say it was faked Shoigu is out: https://humanevents.com/2024/05/12/putin-moves-to-replace-long-time-defense-chief-sergei-shoigu I'd say Shoigu is out "as predicted" except ok it took 11 months....anyway Putin looks to have outlasted Shoigu Russia still has military dominance in its sphere, economy is fine NATO next move is either escalate to nuclear WW3, or give up

@blablarg18 Your stats about pedophilia are dead wrong as is your misunderstanding about the motivation for most rapes.

But facts mean nothing to do. That is a fact.

@Spintendo But only 1 is running.

On GOP side - Vivek.

@raphjd I am certainly not saying that governments don't lie and do horrible things. The fact that Kissinger has been allowed to reach 100 a free man is a travesty, for example. But thanks to Fox and Tucker and Bannon and.......EVERYTHING is a conspiracy now. Because of the 24-hour news cycle, no one wants to wait for all the evidence to come in. The explanation for why they didn't announce the explosion sound was valid; they were not sure. The CT that they were trying to bury the Hunter Biden story seems BS since every news organization covered it. In fact, last week was Titan/Hunter every day until we were given our 24-hour respite with Wagner.

Occam's Razor needs to come back in vogue.

@Spintendo You think that? What a joke. One extreme to the other.

@raphjd said in Report: FBI Groomed a 16-Year-Old With “Brain Development Issues” to Become a Terrorist:

RUSSIA< RUSSIA< RUSSIA

Russia did interfere in the election. They were not able to find evidence of Trump collaborating with them, but it was worth investigating. And we don't know that he didn't. Sounds like something he would do. And who else besides Manafort was convicted? The media reported that the investigation was going on.

Trump's Taxes

A grand jury indicted him based on the evidence. Let's see what the jury decides.

Kyle Rittenhouse killed 4 black men

I never read that. I know he killed two men and wounded another. Their race is irrelevant.

and many other things are liberal lies

Such as?

Last I checked, only Fox has paid a huge sum of money for willfully lying.

But you know what? I don't care. If you want to think that it's actually liberals who are racist, homophobic, misogynists, and mean-spirited liars. Go ahead. It doesn't change reality. You can have ALL the people on the right, MAGA, Proud Boys, Evangelicals, Ted Nugent, the GOP, the lot!

And I will stick with all my commie friends: scientists, intellectuals, Hollywood, atheists, and Bette Midler and Cher 😉

Context - DJ talk on anarchist theory, rape, nihilism.

As often happens, Tulsi Gabbard gets it:

Why are the LA Dodgers and CA lawmakers proud to honor and celebrate anti-Catholic drag group ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,’ whose sole claim to fame is their anti-Christian religious bigotry? Everyone, regardless of our religious beliefs, should denounce such hate and bigotry.

I "know"(???) mocking Jesus & religious brown Latina women is just "witty"(???) fun.... but again SPI would NEVER do same to Mohammed or Muslim women. Why not?

Either SPI become equal-opportunity haters............ or else ya, SPI are bigots.

@blablarg18 Its really bad

@blablarg18

There was a discussion here about Zuckerberg's flip flop over the vaccine.

Early on, he was spewing the same anti-Trump crap the liberals spewed about the vaccine. Of course, he changed his mind when Biden and Co did.

@serenity said in Study: Vegetarians fart more. Way more.:

Shouldn't this not be in the Health section, this is hardly politics.

It could be viewed as politics in that it talks about farting.

Ireland is culling 200k cows because of farting, to prevent climate change.
