Fuckin’ citation needed mate. Dems control the media like Cnut controls the sea.

Edit: What was the point of posting three different news articles anyway? If the Dems control the media, you’d only need two.

Or is it because the NBC interviewer misinterpreted what the crowd was chanting, possibly deliberately?

Even if it was deliberately, what do you think that tells you, and why?

Oh hey, I don’t think this has been mentioned yet:

Trump’s call logs have a 7 hour gap on January 6th, despite various officials saying they talked with him during that time.

No problems there, then.

I get you loathe Russia in its current state Strongpoint, but neo-imperialist Japan is not what you want as a replacement.
Yep. Not to mention nobody on Sakhalin wants to be with Japan.
Who says they’d be there long enough to object?

Other loans, obviously.

Or you just lie about the low value of your assets when it comes tax time, and when it comes time to sell or use ‘em as collateral, inflate that value.

It’s cheaper to bribe one person than it is to pay all the money you owe at that point.

Russian soldiers are mostly conscripts who get convinced through hook or crook to contract with the army and then get lied to about where they’re going and what they’ll be doing when they get there.

They can’t fight against the “monster” (by which I mean that’s what the Russian propaganda machine has set Ukraine up to be) next door, what do you think they’ll do when asked to fire on their own people?

The liberals may not necessarily be the best or most popular choice for them, but it will be a choice some of them make.

Oh hey you can add me to the waitlist, I realized I hadn’t done that after my short holiday from the forum heh.

People can be wanky, and instead of addressing what is bothering them, they lash out and just try to push buttons that they think will most effectively damage the other person.

Didn't they already get sent in to try and assassinate Zelensky and got their shit pushed in?

There were three attempts of which at least one was allegedly by the Warner Group (Chechen spec ops were also involved in some attempts), iirc.

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot?

I think Putin is woefully underestimating how much the West wants to wean itself off the teat of Russian fossil fuels.

This will result in short- and possibly medium-term pain to the West as they source new means of getting fossil fuels, but it will ultimately backfire spectacularly for Putin.

Alopecia is a condition that causes hair loss, that’s what she spoke about a few years ago. It’s incurable, but doesn’t do much beyond cause hair to fall out, ranging from small patches to all the hair on the body.

I didn’t know that before Smith slapped Rock though, and I don’t know if Rock knew that either. He’s a comedian, but making fun of someone with an incurable if benign condition is a bit eh. Probably not worth a slap though.

His wife has spoken about losing her hair due to a medical condition and said that’s why she keeps her hair so short, which I think is why this happened.

Will Smith won his first Oscar shortly thereafte, but probably will be better remember for the slap.

While LGBT+ have a very good chance to be tortured (or even killed) as soon as Russians will see their social network accounts, Biden's focus on LGBT+ looks like a way to get political points at home.
That is exactly what Biden has been doing regarding LGBT+ for the entirety of his presidency.
As opposed to Trump, who shat on LGBT+ for political gain during his presidency?[1]

I know which I prefer, as a human being who wants other human beings to be treated like human beings.

[1] giving him the benefit of the doubt here. He was a cunt in myriad ways, homophobia could easily be a default position for him.

Making people redundant without warning was a proper cunt thing to do, regardless of whether or not it broke the law, never mind doing it to nearly a thousand people.

It’s also ridiculous that they were complaining about losing money but didn’t have any crew ready to take over (though some agency staff refused to work for them after finding out they were replacing these people) and not being able to use their vessels was apparently costing £1m a day.

The British government and the various devolved administrations have been examining the contracts they have with P&O Ferries, so perhaps the government is taking action to make it look like they’re doing something about it. They brought this on themselves.

You would expect someone married to one of the most senior judges in the land to know how the law works.
