I’d go so far as to bar the consumption and sale!

Hi, I’m Carrie A. Nation, and in this essay and with this hatchet, I will…

How I wish that the West would have its own large scale disinfo campaign to give some of it back. Fuck Kremlin Russia.

Those are strictly business records! Of… err… trafficking something or other. Who knows, he’s perfect and can’t possibly do evil. Look, he’s got immunity, ok??

Oh, I’m not American, but I’ll check it out!

I’m still not convinced. Just because you hold yourself to a certain standard for your population doesn’t mean you can’t behave differently with other people. I don’t know of a system of government that requires that kind of ethical consistency but someone else probably does. But my point is that democracy doesn’t seem to be one of those.

I do get you, though, it’s beyond shitty, and looks like a bunch of self-serving hypocrites. I simply don’t believe it’s a requirement.

How do you mean?

Wait, aren’t those mutually exclusive? You can have a democracy at home and still do all those things abroad.

As a non-brit, I hope this is a good thing that fends off the ever-popular fascists everywhere else.

This made me so hungry that I could eat a whole large language model in one sitting.

Will there be a fight to reign in those powers legally in any way? Because it feels awfully convenient and lucrative for someone to win the presidency at all costs now.

I’d like to see him on his upcoming interview all well and rested and then we can compare.

Now that’s a good idea!

Oh, definitely. That’s the sole reason Knowledge FIght exists!

Red alert, red alert! I NEED MONEY

Yeah, I’ll admit I’ve been hearing too much Alex Jones on Knowledge Fight. He seems to speak for the great majority of conservatwats so I assumed.

I’m not sure where you got the figure from but I looked it up and the polling seems messy. But I guess 3/4 of Republicans having an unfavorable view of Putin as reported by PBS is something that doesn’t make me lose hope in humanity today. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-adults-split-along-party-lines-in-support-for-ukraine-military-aid-ap-norc-poll-finds

Editing to add these pretty graphs by Pew Research that show nothing surprising: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/08/views-of-ukraine-and-u-s-involvement-with-the-russia-ukraine-war/

I could bet a good buck that the plan is to give in to Russia. It’s what every Republican wants for whatever mysterious reason.

I didn’t know you’d actually added sources

Yeah, that’s because you refused to read.

Nothing makes me less interested in reading a comment

And nothing makes me less interested in a conversation than when someone is outright dismissive without reason and would rather use a fool’s errands as the goalpost. You do whatever you want with that, I’m done with whatever you have to say.

Weird that the OOP thinks it’s “intellectual superiority” to simply have your facts straight.

asking a chatbot to do it for you

It’s the future, friend. I’m not about to spend 3 hours of my precious time on something like this just so you can dismiss it in three seconds and strut on the board like a mindless pigeon.

it’s not important enough for me to read

And that’s great! I added the sources manually, so you can at least read those. The summaries were for your convenience but I guess you don’t like such commodities.

I would genuinely love to hear

You would genuinely not read it, so why bother. You got like 15 decent things he’s done right here that you won’t even glance over because you seem a little intimidated by it.

unless his administration actually upholds those standards, which they won’t

On their own volition or does obstructionism count?

Biden’s got my vote by a hair rn

I frankly don’t give a rat’s ass what you got by a hair.

If you wanna show me some of that without the help of your friend, I’d legit love to see it

No, you don’t. You’d just love to give someone a fool’s errand and laugh about it later.

Cognitive decline, probably at his age, but dementia? Says which medical professional? lol
