Vegemite is a British plot to seek vengeance against the US.

Is...is this really all just an excuse for cis dudes to follow women into the restrooms to have them 'prove' they're women?
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Wonder what else they’re lying about.

I think it is appropriate that the the Office of the Executive put Zelinski in his place. He (like Putin) is a corrupt dictator who acceded to a dirty little state department forever war on the European continent no less, brought about whomever was running the Biden administration. He has been ingratiated with 100s of Billions from the largess of the American people. Speaking with petulance (if that is what he was doing -- Slavic and English turns of phrase have caused several misunderstandings the past and it wont be the last) aroused the ire of many, and he had been forwarned by those coaching him before entering the white house. An attitude of gratitude goes a long way. Trump didn't start the dirty war, but he is offering to end this so-called unwinnable (as it was set up) endless proxy war.

Enough with the vatnik propaganda drivel.

It being the party line of an authoritarian government is, if anything, more points for it being propaganda drivel.

Funny how you are complaining about how everyone blindly believes the "Current thing" and you're now going "Well the US Government says it's the Current thing so it is."

Why you should be calling Adamede stunning and brave now for going against the CURRENT THING.

Anyway time will tell how Trump will feel in a week when his Narcissistic rage wears off. The guy flip flops on everything.

He could always get impeached again, but that would require the congressional Republicans and probably a not-insignificant amount of Democrats to spontaneously evolve spines.

Will never happen unless 2026 somehow smashes the GOP to pieces and we get a Dem supermajority, and chances of that are probably nil. Republican lawmakers are even admitting Trump is violating the constitution and are saying they're not bothered by it. We have a Congress happy to sign away their authority and be reduced to a rubber stamp that only exists to give legitimacy to royal decrees.

Oh, and he can lie and blame Biden for what crashing the economy. That should get him reelected for his third term.
