There is an interesting precedent tangentially related to that. China’s veto was reassigned from Taiwan to Communist China. The Soviet Union’s veto could be reassigned from Russia to Ukraine. But yeah, an override mechanism would be a big improvement too.

I kind of get the UN (security council vetoes were to make a nuclear war less likely). But yeah, every single country in the EU and NATO having a veto is just stupid and ripe for abuse.

We could soon die in a nuclear holocaust because it was easier than jailing a pedophile ring

Day 410

Yesterday, the dementia ridden pedophile took time out from killing civilians in Iran to announce his next target.

Cuba.

Is anyone going to stop this ego maniac?

Firstly they should take away both the World Cup and the Olympics.

See if that gets his attention.

You are all caught up.

Hey cool! It just needs a little red nub at the top of the centre part and it would look like a…uh, wait, I’m not supposed to talk about what it would look like.

What kind of idiot would think that Harris would pick Liz Cheney for defense Secretary? That is some serious off the wall Looney Tunes bullshit right there.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

“Not worried at all,”Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) replied “Trump knows what he’s doing.”

That's worse! You said that like it's better, but it's even worse!

People say it a lot, but I don't think the coverup is worse than the crime in the Trump-Epstein case.

It is pretty impressive how Zelensky has managed to thread the needle. Trump is constantly trying to set traps for him so he can get away with openly serving Russia's interests. Zelensky has managed to not give Trump that, while still not alienating Europe by minimizing their contributions.

I get where you are coming from. I strongly oppose the attack on Iran too. But, I get where Zelensky is coming from. Iran is supporting Russia and sending shaheds to help the Russian war effort. Supporting the attack on Iran is in Ukraine's best interest.

Zelensky lashes out at Orban as Ukraine accuses Hungary of seizing bank convoy A fresh dispute between Kyiv and Budapest has escalated after Ukraine accused Hungary of detaining employees from a state bank transporting cash through the country.

Orban is a traitor. If he had Hungary's best interest at heart, he would want a strong independent Ukraine on his border. He is instead trying to Ukraine's defence and make it more likely that Hungary will instead have a Russian puppet on their border. That would put Hungary in danger.

It really depends what your goals are. When your regime is carrying out the largest ethnic cleansing in history at home, then it seems very on brand to kill a bunch of Brown kids at an Iranian elementary school.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Does an Authoritarian Takeover of the Most Powerful Government on Earth Qualify as a "State of Emergency?" But answering that question might actually reveal the antidote to America's illness.

'Unconscionable': Fury as investigation finds US likely killed 175 in Iran school strike Political analysts and observers were outraged on Thursday after an investigation determined that the U.S. was likely responsible for a Feb. 28 strike on a girls' school in Iran that killed 175 civili...

That Iranian girl's school that was attacked, killing a bunch of young children, that was America. Very typical behaviour for a dictatorship. This regime needs to be held accountable for its crimes against humanity.

Probably. But, even then, if we immediately push them back to him he gets them back. If we welcome them and they don’t reform then they are likely to split off and form their own faction. That’s still better for us.

It’s better to welcome these people. Yes, it’s annoying. Yes, they should have known better long before now.

But, ridiculing them and saying “I told you so” is only going to push them back to Trump. We can’t afford that.

It’s not easy, but here is where our compassion can show its strength.

China sets lowest economic growth target since 1991 It is also the first time the target has been lowered since it was cut to "around 5%" in 2023.

Hey China. Stop moving towards capitalism. It doesn’t work and is slowing your economy.
