Well yeah it isn’t a perfect analogy. Replace FDR with Churchill if you want.

But also America joined the war in December 1941 so it wasn’t at the very end. And sent a huge amount of equipment to England and Russia, like was done for Ukraine under Biden.

Remember when FDR tried to stop Hitler’s invasion of France by tweeting at Hitler?

He doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt on this and should not be allowed to say such stupid shit as if he’s just some guest on a right wing podcast. He actually controls the world’s most powerful military and can make an invasion happen tomorrow.

His threats against allies and sovereign nations should be grounds for impeachment and removal from office before he does more damage do world stability and the reputation of the US.

What? That’s about double the price of a Camry which is probably a better car all around

Um. This isn’t ethical behavior.

Damn the people are dumb as fuck

Around the time of the election he was saying something about “God spared me so I could be president again”.

Yeah no. If there was a supernatural force at work it wasn’t a holy one. He either made a deal with the devil or he has a monkey’s paw.

Maybe you would like that fan fiction Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. A large part of it is poking fun at how magic works and how wizards behave and how dumb Quidditch is.

For example there are all kinds of rules about Transfiguration that don’t make sense and that is explored quite a bit.

He’s going to make money of supplements and other stuff marketed with “Make America Healthy Again” branding.

When hearing that, you might say “aren’t there ethics rules that prevent government officials from profiting from the policies they enact or promote?”

And then you don’t hear a response from me because I died laughing.

No.

Not everything should be privatized so some asshole oligarch can have another toy.

I dunno, I think he would probably like Putin and Trump. He wasn’t against fascism.

Yes to what you said except we actually didn’t vote for this. Sure, way too many people voted for Trump but he only came out ahead because of voter purges and voter suppression tactics that republicans have been using for years. Also the concentrated propaganda from Fox, talk radio, and social media made sure that half of voters aren’t even aware of reality.

To be clear, this is different than the “stop the steal” lies that maga was telling in 2020. This is about systemic ways that republicans have an unfair advantage in elections.

Here’s one article about that, there are others.

They are mentally ill and also evil. Also, they know that the media doesn’t properly detect and ignore trolling and performative distractions.

The Manchurian Candidate came out in 1959 and was made a movie in 1962. I guarantee that the people who do game theory about coups and nuclear war have thought about a willing or unwilling traitor in power. It’s one of the most confusing things about all this that they haven’t done anything to stop it.

Hopefully adult bots

Also it seems to be a picture of the Earth colliding with the Earth.

Yeah I really don’t know what a fair price for streaming is. They can charge what they want and I’ll pay if I think it’s worth it.

My current pattern is to keep one or two streaming services at a time and when I run out of shows I drop one and add a different one.

People are disappointed though that the service used to be a much better value. It’s like most things that start out good and become “enshittified” as the service provider tries to extract more and more profit.

The problem didn’t appear overnight and trying to “fix” it overnight is going to cause chaos.

Just one example: there was a bipartisan bill a few months ago that had most of the things republicans asked for. Trump pressured the republicans to not vote for the bill because he wanted to campaign on illegal immigration and do this kind of cruel and stupid shit when he got elected.

Trump doesn’t try to fix things, he just likes showy displays of power and cruelty because he’s a fucking asshole.

Re: don't plug in a linux drive to window: This is a pretty new (all AMD) machine that had windows 11. I added a new drive and put linux on it and had a dual boot going. Just one time I tried to access the windows drive from linux to try to run a game I had installed there and it corrupted the windows drive. So yeah, I won't try to connect them.
