Exactly. We have a chance to recognize the shitty things all our elected officials do through awareness during the Trump era. This is imperative. The lesson we must learn is not go back to ignoring the world if Trump gets voted out but renew that commitment to justice when he is.

It’s almost like this was addressed in the first sentence.

But it allows Trump to legitimize his policies. His supporters are rightly saying, “Why are you criticizing us for deterrents when you didn’t criticize Obama.”

Well, any side looks good when you don’t pay attention to the bad shit they do. Good luck getting your wish of the PKK and Assad getting toppled. If I know the US government, you’ll get your wish.

Yeah, sugar is the real killer.

No, but I went to a high school named after a fake Native American tribe made up by a local businessman in the 20's to promote a tourist attraction that still exists around here. We were also “The Indians” until like two years ago.

Yeah, probably someone in Rhode Island can.

My NY congressional district is almost as big as New Jersey. Only people in like four liberal small towns vote in the Democratic primary and then for some reason Democrats never win the seat.

The only thing surprising about this is that Tucker Carlson ever said anything sensible.

That’s not the point. Just because not everyone does it doesn’t mean someone couldn’t have the capacity to change. Should he have faced harsh punishment? Yes, but it’s hard for me to cheer his death at such a young age.

Or as it would be called in today’s NFL, fumble and touchback for USC.

Well, you’ve certainly built a great argument against a fever dream version of me who actually said any of those things. I’ve said literally none of them. And no, I can’t say whether you should care about Erdogan working with the FSA to literally destroy, rape and pillage the autonomous territory of a disadvantaged…

Now what will I watch every day? *Sigh* I guess back to the Daily Show for me.

Thanks!

Sounds good. Have a nice day!

You just ignored the question. And you’ve ignored that literally every time I’ve brought it up, which is literally almost every exchange we’ve had since Operation Olive Branch was launched in January. You are relying on strawman and whataboutism fallacies. I’ve never defended Assad. Please find a post where I have if…

It’s nuts here. My northeast ass can’t handle this heat.

Yeah, I feel conflicted. It’s true that he really did seem to be terrible but at 20 your brain isn’t even fully developed yet. I’m neither cheering nor mourning.

Great, you finally acknowledge what a horror Erdogan is, but you can’t ignore that he has literally used your country as a staging ground for his repression of the PKK, including those who are native Syrians. If you don’t care what he does to them because of things the PKK have done, that’s your choice. But then you…

When did the Chinese level every building in NK with more bombs than dropped during all of WWII and put crippling economic sanctions on them? Also, just because the economy is growing in SK, doesn’t mean the people are getting a lot of it. The country has a huge income inequality problem:
