He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oh, damn. He's going against Trump's statements here, so Trump is certainly asking someone to google how he can fire the VP.

Could lead for some funny interactions soon

The “Oracle of America” has spoken.

Day one.

PS fuck you fascists

He obviously meant day one of his 2028 presidency

I'm tempted to comment his statement with "yes, captain Obvious".

It could have only ended if they had: a) not obstructed Biden, b) fully backed the measures Biden took, c) continued with measures of their own of equal weight, and d) threatened to double down with more measures really soon.

Instead, they set up their "art of the deal" clown and pony show (where an angry clown fails to jump over a beaten down pony).

So far, Putin has taken it as confirmation and encouragement. If they grow up super fast (yea, sure they will...) this might still be possible to change.

But realistically, I think they won't grow up - this is more likely just a brief flash of partial sanity. At this stage, other people will have to do the job while the US provides a steady supply of tragic humor.

This is not about growing up. They're Putin's stooges and when he says jump, they ask how high. Growing up won't change that.

What a visionary

Trump is simply proof of how stupid people are.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Oh my god he admit it.

Sometimes the only way to fuck a couch is to give half the couch away to somebody else to fuck, sometimes it is a long road to getting to fuck your couch.

Einstein was right, time really is relative, when 24 hours suddenly becomes 4 months and counting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Trump was going to stop a 3 days war in one day. In just not sure what planet are we using for the definition of Day

James Donald Bowman is a disgrace of a human being

And I will deadname him in every thread there is.

Vance also states, "It hasn't been 24 hours yet. I mean, the President is a busy guy. He only works on this a minute here, a minute there." /s

Edit: forgot the /s

Yet spends hours a day vomiting his verbal diarrhea on his bullshit social netwrok day after day...

I still don't get why the media is covering this guy and his questionable statements. I'm starting to think the media is somewhat complicit in shaping the new world order dystopia.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

He's the US VP.

I'd love if this was a joke.

They hacked about until they stumbled upon the major vulnerabilities of open societies, rule of law, democracy, 24-hour newscycles and social media.

Only time Vance is right.

This war could have been ended a few years ago had Europe/US the balls, but unfortunately.

VP guyliner says that the US administration is now facing the question of how to help Russia and Ukraine "find some middle ground here"

It's that "middle ground" where Russia gets half of Ukraine's territory and the US gets all of their mineral rights?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Typical Trump move, mugging a rape victim.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

Molotov and Ribbentrop nod in approval.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

That quote could've ended seven words earlier and been just as accurate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Did we forget to say thank you or something.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

Yet we're going to just take half of their resources anyway? Sounds fair.
