Yes, imagine if the coup attempt was real.

As a hint. It wasn’t. Especially not the helicopter ride. That part was so staged it’s comical.

Except that the coup was very real. Turned a democracy into a dictatorship with one scripted helicopter ride.

Vance the couch fucker.

There was a claim that, in the first draft of his book, Vance recounted a teenage sexual encounter with a couch. In great detail.

This claim came with an image of the text, which is easily found if you want that sort of thing.

The truthfulness of the claim has been questioned, but Vance just seems like the kind of guy who would fuck a couch.

Do people in glass houses shit in the woods?

The Kennedy family had deep mob ties as well, going back to their grandfather.

Robert Kennedy going after the Mob, was just trying to break the family free.

Hamas was always a “tame” terrorist force.

Or put another way, the only reason why Hamas existed in the first place is because Israel picked them specifically to be the face of Palestinian resistance in Gaza, and constantly paid them millions to keep them in power, while at the same time, brutally crushed any other groups who might have pushed for Palestinian rights.

There were a bunch of news articles shortly after Oct 7th talking about how Netanyahu’s “cash to Hamas” bribery for peace deal had blown up in his face, and no. It did not.

This has been the plan for decades. All Israel needed was an excuse and a somewhat friendly president who could ignore the US’ previous policy of paying lip service to a two-state solution.

I don’t know how it could be boring when the payoff to such a run is this song. Even so, that path is fucking dark.

I would love a storyline where Luther claims to be Ceaser, but is shown to be more akin to Nero.

Superman of the comics (from about the mid-80s onward) would tell the military, politely, to go find a location to fornicate with themselves.

Also the animated Superman. He took would tell them to go fuck themselves. Neither one would actually curse.

That being said, both incarnations would put the fire out, if only to prevent environmental damage.

Possibly by dropping a large block of ice on the building.

I’ve heard Ireland is good. No idea of how true that is, but they do speak English, if reluctantly.

That said, the actual Irish language is rather melodic, and learning it is a fun project.

Technically the Nazis lost that election, but the Conservatives who won turned around and handed power to Hitler, all to prevent the Left from gaining power.

The US institute of Pease doesn’t have “Unchecked power” they have basically no power. They report to congress, and that’s all. Report. They write a bunch of them.

The USIP also trains diplomats in conflict resolution and de-escalation.

The thing is, they had been working in, and with, Ukraine to provide congress with accurate reports on Russia’s invasion. This accurately paints Putin as committing a bunch of war crimes, and being an aggressor who will violate every cease fire until he either wins or is driven out of the country completely, in which case he will regroup, rearm, and likely attack again.

As long as Putin is in power, Europe isn’t safe. Especially now that Putin has a puppet in charge of the US.

And that’s why that puppet ordered the illegal break-in.

The two party system will always fail. The problem is, Durverger’s Law.

As long as the US uses Ordinal voting systems, we will never have a viable third party. Worse, any attempt to create a third party will only siphon votes away from its ideological neighbor, resulting in the ideological opposite gaining an easy win.

There’s a reason why Jill Stein had that dinner with Putin.

Trump does intend to die in office. That’s the point. That’s his full plan.

But that death could be 10 years from now. Elections are pretty much over.

Tim Walz came out swinging, and they instantly sidelined him.

That alone was enough to say that the campaign was fucked.

The only way this goes wrong for him is if he leaves office. He has no intention of allowing that to happen.

A bucket list is usually “a list of things to do before you die” i.e. kick the bucket.

I can see how your use is correct, but it also doesn’t feel right, which is 90% of language.

To my ear, saying that Futurama is simply “on the list” just sounds better.

Another option would be saying that the show is in your backlog.

But, use bucket list enough, and sooner or later that will sound correct. Because that’s also how language works.

I watched the video. The wall would not fool a human with object permanence.

Anyone who is fooled, is likely impaired enough that they are not legal to drive.

As a human who watches the video, I can say no. The wall would not have fooled me.

More than one test failed.

The Tesla failed the heavy rain and the heavy fog tests.

There’s zero excuse to fail either of those tests. But the Tesla killed the kid both times.

The wall test was just to show that the Tesla cannot put together optical clues.

The other two tests that the Tesla failed were more realistic. Heavy fog and heavy rain.

It failed both.

If your self driving car cannot handle weather, then it’s not self driving at all.

Actual lidar isn’t fooled by weather. Shitty optical only cameras are.
