He's a ~~meathead~~ strong, alpha man in a position with a lot of public eyes that other ~~meatheads~~ strong, alpha men can look up to for guidance.

Hey, if his admission to being tricked by Trump's lies causes other ~~MAGA folks~~ strong, independent thinkers to have a little introspection and change, I'm all for it.

I don't want to support any company that is either directly or indirectly funding genocide and fascism. It's not complicated.

If you found out that Netflix powered their servers using an orphan grinding machine, would you still subscribe to them?

The tariffs are absolutely fucking up our country right now, and I live in the US, and we absolutely deserve it. It's affecting every single one of my projects (I work in an engineering/manufacturing company). Turns out 10-25% tariffs really cuts out a lot of the margin for people so we've had to significantly bump prices on aerospace components. This in turn will drive ticket prices up eventually as well. It's also affecting our groceries. And then the side effects of all of it, is the boycotts from numerous countries. It's absolutely crushing our trade.

That said, all of the boycotts are absolutely fantastic. Keep it up. Our lead-addled half of the US needs to understand what isolationist policies do to our country. Maybe it'll be the wake up call that people need to understand that international cooperation is the key to success.

....can't have these immortals running around all willy-nilly. For sure that's haram.

I did as well. Didn't even cross my mind that it was wrong. Just went, "It's about on par with all the other goofy shit they believe and have laws against. Why not ban it because of potential immortality. Sure"

Maybe. The next leader hopefully understands that people are watching and waiting with torches apparently. Might make them think twice about engaging in corruption.

It ain't YOUR party, fucknut. Either start moving left or prepare to get primaried.

Centrist Democrats need to get with the program.

You are KGB's wet dream. Putin invaded Ukraine.

Even if "Western Propaganda" is saying he's eating babies, not sure why your so eager to come here and defend Putin, like his honor needs to be protected. lol

Haaa...there's MANY boats mate. Not sure how you missed that. Dozens. What would you call a group of boats? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't call it a boat of boats.

Oh, they have their own memes, comics, famous users/posters, copypasta, etc, except it feels more like your stuck on r/all with a smaller userbase. Comments are, I believe still locked at 140 characters, so conversation is severely limited. It was fun - I was an Imgur user for several years before I realized that Reddit was really everything I wanted from Imgur. Literally haven't gone back since I switched to Reddit about 10 years ago

...except the title literally includes Trump's name. Trump, the guy whose the elimination of USAID has literally.... literally....killed over 50,000 people due to removing food, medicine, and support for people around the world.

Trump is accusing others of failing to uphold human rights. Peak irony.

It's "employee owned" but still has a CCP Party Committee that makes decisions. Chinese companies have historically created backdoors in both software and hardware, and have no issues with stealing proprietary data, code, or designs.

Ignorance of security concerns is pretty much akin to the saying, "Well, I have nothing to hide. Who cares if the government spies on me." It's not just the US government saying it, it's pretty much any security company or individual worth their salt saying it.
