Good work. I wish Biden had been this forward. Glad to see others making progress in their defense.
- Comment on Trump says U.S. ships should be allowed to travel through the Panama and Suez canals for free 2 hours ago:
Trump is going to try and choke the world with the Panama Canal. The world needs to recognize this as an attack and prepare to defend their access to free trade with their military.
- Comment on Trump says U.S. ships should be allowed to travel through the Panama and Suez canals for free 2 hours ago:
The same Republican playbook for decades: cut money going to a service, the service has problems operating, the republicans blame liberals, and then the republicans privatize it.
- Comment on Trump says U.S. ships should be allowed to travel through the Panama and Suez canals for free 2 hours ago:
Trump also says he wants to date his teenage daughter.
- Comment on Trump says 'Crimea will stay with Russia' in latest interview 1 day ago:
Trump isn’t doing anything, anyway, except wasting Ukraine’s time.
Let Ukraine spend time with a country with a competent leader who can actually accomplish something.
- Comment on Houthi rebels shoot down 7 US military Reaper drones worth $334m, in recent weeks 2 days ago:
Houthi rebels didn’t shoot down any US drones when Obama was president.
- Comment on Trump: Russia not taking over Ukraine is a concession 2 days ago:
This whole war is about Russia trying to take something that isn’t theirs to begin with. At a minimum, Russia should get nothing.
Although I would call it a concession if I promised to not piss on Trump’s grave.
- Comment on Why is the NFL draft day so "special"? 2 days ago:
What else is there for people to do?
Read, learn something new, show empathy to other humans, glance at what politicians are doing (regardless of MAGA)
- Comment on China invites European countries to form united front against Trump tariffs 3 days ago:

Good! He’s right.
I was very pissed Obama didn’t do anything that I know of against Russia for this.

Sucks to be the US.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 1 week ago:
Um, that’s pretty awesome!
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 2 weeks ago:
Hey, it’s your life. If you want to use your blinker so that it is easier to get an opening, and so people are more likely to avoid hitting you, well, that’s your choice.
Also, the results in here will be survivor biased. The people in wrecks because they didn’t use their blinker are too busy dealing with insurance and repair times and rental cars to be on Lemmy. They are also busy having to remind people that they are the most important person on the road.
- Comment on Panama deal allows US to deploy troops to canal 2 weeks ago:
Wow, I didn’t know Panama’s president José Raúl Mulino is so weak.
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 2 weeks ago:
Probably MAGAs will feel so vindicated they will literally start murdering people opposed to Trump.
We’ve already seen quite a few shooting, and attacking the Capitol, and most of the people getting off mostly free.
So we’ll see even more of it.
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 2 weeks ago:
Some people already sold off at the lower price before it gets lower.
Companies already had to make equipment orders and revenue predictions, which caused suppliers to fire extra people.
And confidence has already been shaken since this could happen again at any time.
Companies are now increasing plans to downsize to deal with the uncertainty.
And the ultra rich are ready to start buying at the lower price. So that if the prices returned to last week, the percentage of differences of wealth from the ultra wealthy to the regular will be even higher.
- Comment on Physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are reportedly Switch 1 carts with codes in the box 2 weeks ago:
As an early buyer of the Nintendo Switch, it’s nice to know I don’t need to budget to save up to buy the Switch 2, since I won’t be because of this.
- Comment on Panama Papers leak has led to nearly $2B in recouped taxes for governments 3 weeks ago:

Wow, I’m surprised anything happened at all.
- Comment on Sneaker and apparel retailers blindsided by tariffs on Asian factory hubs 3 weeks ago:
He did what Putin told him. Trump only has manipulation, threats, hate, and insecurity. He doesn’t have a plan or intelligence.
- Comment on Investors flee U.S. stocks as markets react sharply to Trump's tariff plan 3 weeks ago:
Damn, I started a high deductible health insurance and last month got it high enough to invest part of it.
Fingers crossed I’m still employed for a while to buy in at the lower prices, and I live long enough to recover.
Countries with national healthcare also don’t have their healthcare dependent on the stock market. I’m jealous.
- Comment on Ukraine's NATO membership not included, never was in minerals deal, Zelensky says 3 weeks ago:
Ukraine needs to be in NATO.

If UK citizens working for Russia are like US citizens working for Russia, that group doesn’t follow rules.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Maybe switch to official French?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Just 3 hours ago you complained Lemmy has too much liberal content, and here you are talking about prostitution. Prostitution is not liberal, but it’s something many conservatives won’t talk about.
Maybe it’s time to step away and take a nap.

You might find Truth Social to be a safe space.
