They can’t even shut down the base in Greenland. There’s a reason DeGaulle kicked the US out in 1966. And why Okinawa residents have been lobbying to shut down the local base for decades.
Europeans have been under military occupation since the end of WW2, telling themselves the gun pointed at the back of their heads was aimed at the USSR, even after it dissolved.
Now they’re going to have to deal with a foreign hostile occupation whose roots have grown deep
Extrovert = Has Friends
Historically speaking, a safe bet
UK is the largest European holder of US debt and a close ally in our wars of imperial expansion
You can’t say this. You can’t do this. It’s exactly what Trump wants. Stop resisting. Stop resisting. Stop resisting.

Scientist: “Any interaction could alter history!”
Another Scientist: “Bro, meteor’s still going to hit if we kick back a few brews and dino-wrangle.”
Third Scientist: “Way… hic ahead of you. YEHAW!”
Crazy to turn on GOPTV and discover a Murdered White Woman they’ve decided doesn’t deserve to be avenged in the most savage way possible.
The point is if there is a god the dude has bigger concerns.
The clock-maker is not concerned exclusively with the largest gears.
We’re on our own, there’s no sign that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
“God doesn’t care about small things” is the antithesis of Biblical teaching. Both the Old and the New Testaments go through great pains to convey how the most humble individuals in the most basic circumstances still receive Divine Attention.
If you’re arguing with a Christian on these terms, you’re queuing yourself up for an ass kicking. They’ve got much better poetry than a grainy photo of a galaxy that isn’t even the Milky Way, btw.
Did you just “everyone’s a little ADHD” me?
No.
We’ve been at that for decades.
Chauvin wasn’t assaulted
That’s not what he claimed at the time. A big part of every cop-killer story is the allegation that the person they murdered prompted the killing. Chauvin insisted through his entire defense that Floyd lashed out at him in his final moments, right before he spontaneously died of a drug induced heart attack.
We’ve got video clear as day of the ICE agent casually walking up to the car and plugging the woman in the face. This was a mother who’d just dropped her child off at daycare, not some marauding vehicular anti-ICE assassin. She was given seconds to respond to a command and butchered for failing to act fast enough.
Can’t prosecute someone of they can just walk out of the state unimpeded. Has he been detained in Minneapolis, even? He’s certainly not under arrest. We’d have heard about that.
Remember that Kyle Rittenhouse was allowed to leave Kenosha, Wisconsin and drive all the way back to Illinois without city or state officials lifting a finger. After turning himself in, he was let out on bail and - not long after - spotted
at a bar with his mother in Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin, drinking beers and posing for pictures alongside five men who sang “Proud of Your Boy”, a song used by members of the far-right Proud Boys political organization. In one photo with two of them, Rittenhouse flashed an “OK” sign, a hand gesture that some have associated with white supremacists
And this was just some vigilante asshole, not a badged up capo in the Trump Army.
… to Venezuela.
And Greenland!
And Congress will do the same if he attacks Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Canada or any other country.
Sure. Those other countries (Canada excepted, I guess?) are Global South countries we need to kick into line from time to time. Don’t forget how we’re currently bombing Nigeria, a story that’s flown almost entirely under the radar because… fuck Africans, I guess?
Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, voted for the measure.
“While I support the operation to seize Nicolas Maduro, which was extraordinary in its precision and complexity, I do not support committing additional U.S. forces or entering into any long-term military involvement in Venezuela or Greenland without specific congressional authorization,” Collins said in a statement.
Well, thank goodness. I guess what Trump did was good but also we’ve informed him in no uncertain terms that he shouldn’t do it again.

Hardly. Starting a project is often pretty straightforward, the possibilities are boundless, and the vision can be fuzzy without interfering with the initial work.
As soon as you get to the more complex and less fun bits of the project - reconciling flaws in the initial design, repeatedly failing in execution of a step in the operation, finding a missing piece, being forced to backtrack because you missed a step, debugging, validating results, beautifying the final project, documentation - its normal to get frustrated, lose enthusiasm, and shift focus. You don’t have to be diagnosed with anything to experience anxiety, boredom, or ennui. These are universal human conditions.
If anything, I’d argue a certain level of OCD is necessary to get a project over the finish line. If you’re not a touch masochistic, nothing will ever get done.
“White solidarity!” declares serial sexpest, anti-labor authoritarian plutocrat, and absentee father. “Now get out there and do my dirty work, while I scream slurs at my daughter and horndog Steven Miller’s wife.”
Two high-profile Democrats are calling for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved in a fatal Wednesday shooting in Minneapolis to be prosecuted.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called the shooting a “murder”
…
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a Silicon Valley representative, called for the officer to be arrested.
…
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who represents Minneapolis, condemned ICE’s actions as “unconscionable and reprehensible,” and called for “legal action.”
Cool, I guess? But, critically, we’re not hearing anything from the Minneapolis DA’s office or the Minnesota AG.

Moody wasn’t trying to kill him. He’d been kidnapped and replaced by a Death Eater in order to infiltrate the school. At the end of book 4, the deception is revealed and the death eater is arrested by the Aurors.
The real Moody returns in book 5 and serves as a loyal companion and mentor through the end of the series.
Voldemort is just the latest in a long line of evil wizards. They’re stubbornly common place.
I do think Harry’s career as an Auror can’t last. The best “old man Potter” story is going to read like a Harry Dresden novel - a washed up ex-cop turned private eye with as many enemies in the bureaucracy as the underworld.
But it’s reasonable for Harry to consider joining the Aurors after graduation, only to find out the hard way what being a Wizard Cop means in practice.
