It’s a low bar for sure. Very low. A duck would trip over the bar.

Knowing they’re already around and working to consolidate power, I could think of worse things to spend the defence budget fighting.

Biden’s been a hardliner on foreign policy, so while he may not have caused anything he sure hasn’t been helping matters.

This is a direct quote from the Orangeutang.

“I think had they not done it to me, and I’m very popular, they like me and I like them, the Republican Party, perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them, and this is going to happen with indictments, too. And I think you’re going to see that as time goes by, you’re going to see Republicans when they’re in power, doing it, and it’s a shame when that happens. I’m not in favor of that, but that’s what’s going to happen because that’s human nature.”

From this article.

Arguing that the other guy is in mental decline is such a weird strategy when your guy can’t put together a coherent sentence.

Apparently Trump also thinks he’d be running against Obama in 2024?

A lot of people think that Obama is actually running things because they’re braindead monkeys

Remember the guy who was interviewed and asked why Obama wasn’t in the White House during 9/11 and wanted an investigation on that

Rightoids are all that kid in school that thought they were the smartest kid in class, but got all Cs and justified it by saying if they “actually tried” they would get all As easily.

Oh no. I was often that kid, but because of neglect and abuse and ADHD. Solid C+ to A- student depending on the class, smashing it on tests and demonstrations of knowledge while doing like one out of every three projects and take home assignments. But I’m an autonomy maximalist hanging out with left wing extremists o_o

I think it’s fun: using the old timey word for “spy” or “intelligence operative” evokes the old timey task of gathering documents and information and analyzing them to understand things related to politics or world affairs (especially since it’s a column/blog for a broader general interest magazine, that covers much more than just politics and news).

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
