Obviously 4D Chess. Biden endorsing Trump is probably the fastest way to guarantee Harris wins the election.
I am not going to lie, I assumed the Biden wearing the hat was a doctored image, because surely nobody would be that dumb.
Marxist-Leninist. Tankie. Based in the imperial vassal state of Japan.

This can’t be real right? Streaming services are seriously broadcasting the debates? Isn’t Disney+ for children who probably don’t want to watch the debate?
I mean…I guess I get it. USians treat their elections, especially the presidential election, like a team sport. Cheer for your team! Boo the other team! Only two options! Better buy your team’s jersey so they know who you support!
I am pretty sure getting banned from worldnews is a rite of passage. It should honestly be a requirement for joining lemmygrad at this point, but I suppose it would be redundant with existing screening materials.
Well yes, but she will give the contracts to minority-run defense contractors! Far more progressive.
At first I was like “Oh, well a DNR is not that crazy a thing to hav-oh.” I would probably take my chances with bleeding out too.
Was that why his hair like that? I always assumed he always just did copious amounts of cocaine before public appearances.
Invested it in chainsaws, obviously.
That one is one of my favorites.
Assuming that Russia would somehow benefit from cutting off the gas supply, why wouldn’t they just…turn it off on their end? If they really wanted to make it permanent, why not destroy it on their end? Traveling out of their own territory just to blow up the pipeline in a high risk underwater covert ops mission in enemy territory as what…an elaborate false flag?
"Next time on…The White House.
Biden is furious at Pelosi for snubbing him, even after she promised they were besties . Pelosi can’t even sleep she is so upset by what she had to do. But little do they know that Michelle Obama is determined to get her friends speaking again with a light weekend planned of bombing developing countries!"
I could probably make this into a streaming TV drama and it’d be better than half the stuff on streaming now.
There is nobody with more experience at being president of a wide array of countries!
But that loss will be mitigated by the remarkable thwarting of Mr. Putin’s original plan to take over Kyiv and destroy Ukraine as a nation.
What? That was never the stated objective. The whole three days to Kiev line didn’t from Russia either. Russia never wanted to destroy Ukraine as a nation, though that may very well be the functional result thanks to NATO.
Imagine trying to spin “our opponent didn’t destroy our capital!” as a victory when they weren’t even trying to do that.
I love checking the byline on these opinion pieces.
The author is a member of the “Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong” and has based most of his career on fearmongering Tiananmen Square. He was banned from entering China years ago, so obviously is extremely unbiased.
““The closer individuals were to the trauma on October 7, the higher the risk” of addictive behaviors, it found.”
Aa yes, the trauma of the people they were brutalizing for years upon years fighting back.
Or, more likely, they are trying to find refuge from the last vestiges of human conscience that remains to them in the wake of the genocide they are [at best] complicit in.
I am in the mountains around Mt Fuji now (that is a massive area, I am not significantly doxing myself folks, don’t worry) and it is pretty nice, but I definitely wouldn’t mind more towards Hokkaido. I love the cold though, I will take a snowstorm over Tokyo summer any day.
Our healthcare system is honestly pretty solid. The annual health checks we have is probably the single biggest reason for our high life expectency. I was surprised to hear a lot of folks in the US never go to the hospital for preventative care.
Retirement eh…well, we will see if a pension still exists by the time (people aren’t sure, and they keep trying to kick up the retirement age). In theory, we have pretty decent retirement options with a public pensions everyone pays into, plus a private pension your employer pays into. I know folks retiring now, and none of them really ever did any investing at all. Especially that generation, there is a pretty common distrust of the financial markets and banks.
I did some calculations a while ago, and assuming (big assumption) that the pension systems remains fairly constant to my retirement, I would be capable of retiring reasonably comfortably. Not going to be traveling the world or anything, but definitely more than enough for me. Especially as I plan to retire somewhere even more rural than I am now, which would lower the cost of living drastically.
This is true, I honestly don’t know how you can negotiate with nato/western forces in good faith at all anymore. Even outside of Ukraine, they’ve shown that they don’t place any value in their word (see: Germany admitting they never had any intention of honouring the Minsk Agreements). That kind of admission severely tarnishes any future diplomatic overtures.
Reinforces that leaving reddit wholesale was a wise choice for me. Even in the later days of my stay there I was seeing libshit in totally unrelated hobbyist forums. I swear I remember a guy in a board game sub trying to argue that voting blue no matter what was critically important…for board games.
I can’t imagine what those spaces must look like now.
The currencyappreciation has probably a lot to do with it. The USD to JPY exchange went from 160 (the worst I have ever seen) to 140, in like a week. Still needs to recover a lot more to hit the 100:1 rate it used to hover around. A lot of that is in on the back of the BOJ increasing interest rates in the first time in…an extremely long time.
A lot of people don’t invest a whole lot/at all here, so for the average person outside finance people are actually quite happy with the way things are trending. I know a lot of friends who cancelled all plans to travel internationally this year because the yen was so weak that it just wasn’t feasible.
Most interesting, is we are doing basically the exact opposite of what the US wanted us to do. Every time I see us break lockstep with the US, I allow a little bit of hope to flourish.
The western public will look at the headline, that is the extent of their attention span, and cheer over the fact that the article must mean that Russia is surrendering.
In the interview, Zelensky said there can’t be direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia but there could be indirect negotiations through a third party.
I know that diplomacy is not exactly his background, but it should be fairly obvious to anyone that a requirement of negotiation is that you are actually willing to talk to the people you are intended to negotiate with. This is this crazy international relations theory we call “common sense”.
Nothing too unexpected, it is Russian media and yeah it often has a Russian bias. I don’t think it is any better or worse about that than any other news channel. Sometimes they have had good coverage about things, and sometimes they don’t.
Is it technically propaganda? Sure, just as much as any other news sources are. Propaganda isn’t necessarily untrue. I think trying to filter news to some pure unbiased ideal is an exercise in futility. But that isn’t at all what western forces are trying to do with RT. They just don’t want contrary viewpoints.
