Well well would you look at that. Shrewd chinese businessmen offloading zombie assets to woke morons.

Polls are nice, but its who counts the votes, who decides the election.

Seriously. Those are the kind of fucks that make a communist revolution sound like a reasonable price to pay, just to have them against the wall.

That never goes as planned though.

like there's anything in that bill that would actually do something about the border issue.

its a "We pretend to care about your pet issue and you hand us 60bil for our money laundering project" bill

lol right. they'll change the wording and push it through a less scrutinized channel. like they always do.

I'm generally against "boardgame-style" rules in politics, like "You can do X, but only up to N times".

Life doesnt have to be "balanced" : either a "move" is "good", and should be used as often as the political situation necessitates, or it is bad and should be disallowed completely. If a rule seems "excessively used", it is usually a symptom of a design problem with the system. Thus restricting "overuse", is attacking a symptom, instead of dealing with the root cause. In other words, a cop-out. Breaking your thermometer at whatever temperature you're comfortable with, will not fix your heating/cooling issues.

As such, conversation about term limits should be viewed as a symptom of a dysfunctional system, where people are looking for a "cheat rule" to get those they don't like out of the power position. But rotating out corrupt stooges(in politics or administration) every X years will not solve the problem of having your system overrun with corrupt stooges. You solve that issue with education and active citizen involvment. Possibly with a touch of firing squads - in some situations(though, obviously, I can't think of any modern real-world country where that last part would apply).

Spending multiple millions on every single senate seat becomes a losing battle for the Uniparty when that seat is vacated every one or two terms.

senators will go for way cheaper without an established brand name.

All term limits do is push the people in power out of the limelight. You cant solve the lack of honest and intelligent decision-makers by rotating the corrupt morons faster in hope those run out. You're never running out or corrupt morons.

There was quite a funny incident earlier today. the police set up a barricade on the motorway to try to stop a farmers. the guys just drove through the fence and around the barricade.

Yes, some tactics genius decided to block a bunch of tractors by blocking the road. in an open field.

another proof of global warming. every year the French go on strike earlier and earlier.

allahu akbar, brother.

for anyone missing the context. "spez" is Reddit's ceo's username on Reddit. this username is probably an "accusatory username". I doubt the real spez would show up a) here b) under such a self-incriminatint username. though modern day degenerates never fail to surprise me.

to be fair, if you're in control of a three letter agency, having the reputation of being a bunch of bumbling baboons is very useful. because no one will see you coming. you just need to contain the baboons to a " baboon department", while the rest of the agency does the real work.

not saying it is the case here though

to lock up all the fishermen, apparently

Put a gun to the man who knows how to fish and YOU eat for a lifetime because you have a gun.

the lifetime being "until you go to sleep".

everything wears out.

at the current level of technology, any [space]shp carrying these weapons is going to "wear out" from being shot at by railguns, way before the railgun barrels get worn out by intensive use.

I wouldn't trust the new prime minister if he showed up with a carrot either.

not the right kinda islam

that sounds like the kind of thing that would get them extra takeoff velocity if they say it to the extremist giving them their complimentary flight lesson.

so they volunteer to actually go enforce it, right?

including prostitutes

not sure I understand why they needed to single out journalists like that, but ok.

There be none of that weird shaped crap in my country.

'round here, round pegs go into round holes, just like god intended

ew... get back into the closet, kevin.

this. you'll never see someone try to make fake steak-based broccoli, but bean based fake meat is a thing for some reason.

looks like some kind of weird mishmash of the the israeli and palestine flags, that 4chan would've made in its time, for the lulz. Then someone flipped the triangle and changed the star type to pretend its totally not that...

"conversation" is newspeak for "sermon"

whats the issue with the video? its great learning material. A perfect example of how crazies are just gonna crazy, and why a civilized man should know to not stick it into crazies.
