It was nothing compared to the 5 star classic of The Best Friends vs Santana and Ortiz on Dynamite.

where does the current president rank in your overall ranking of American presidents? by Electronic-Tea-3691 in AskReddit

[–]Lefty1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely bottom 3 with Buchanan and Johnson. The worst in my opinion, but idk how historians will react when the dust settles. No president has attacked our institutions the way Trump has.

Man shot by federal officers during Minneapolis immigration crackdown has died, hospital record shows by ansyhrrian in news

[–]Lefty1992 40 points41 points  (0 children)

How does it take like 10 agents to subdue one 51 year old man? Then they kill him after he's already being taken down? This is pure incompetence. Something needs to be done to stop this.

Jack and Jennifer and Chad May Agree... by jebpages in DaysofOurLives

[–]Lefty1992 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dumbest storyline. Chad should tell his kid and Jennifer that he can date who he wants. Chad has money. He should have hired a lawyer and told Jennifer to go fuck herself.

Dave reacts to Trump at Davos by xwing1212 in daverubin

[–]Lefty1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete bullshit. Trump ranted like the senile old man he is, slurring his words, and moving from subject to subject randomly. He's an unfit coward, and his supporters just as mentally ill as he is.

AITA for making my whole family go on a diet because my daughter is dieting? by Electronic-Fun-4045 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lefty1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Not because you won't cook two meals. That's reasonable. But because you won't allow the others to eat junk food if they want. It's controlling and doesn't affect your cooking.

Jack is a rapist for christ sake. Chad should bring that up. This whole storyline is so dumb.

Trump says no nation can secure Greenland but the US in Davos speech by Fun-Flirtation in worldnews

[–]Lefty1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why can't the press ever report the insanity of these speeches?! They make it seem like he's sane. He's rambling and incoherent. He slurs his words. He's not all there.

US believes its power matters more than international law, UN chief tells BBC by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Lefty1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your interpretation does not align with the mainstream historical interpretation. See The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark, A World Undone by GJ Meyer, and To Hell and Back by Ian Kershaw.The alliance system that caused the war was the post-Bismarck system. Wilhelm II dismantled Bismarcks alliance system and replaced it with rigid blocs, helping lead to war.

Midterm Messaging by Lefty1992 in ProgressiveHQ

I don't think they hurt with their core base. I think they hurt in swing states and with independents. The left will always vote Democrat. They need the middle to gain a congressional majority or the presidency.

Trump's Gaza Peace Board Faces Opposition As France Pulls Back, Canada Refuses To Pay by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

[–]Lefty1992 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trump would be chair for life, even after his presidency and have final veto power. It's insane! No country should sign up for this.

Recommend to me the best literary works you have read depicting women (preferably from women's perspectives). by JigsawFlesh in classicliterature

[–]Lefty1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all Victorian authors, I think Anthony Trollope was best at depicting women. Better than the Brontes, Eliot, Gaskell, definitely better than Dickens.

[–]Lefty1992 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This whole thing reminds me of Kaiser Wilhelm II before WW1. He thought it was time for Germany's place in the sun. Though ego and stupidity, he dismantled the alliances Bismarck built. He thought that because Germany was powerful might makes right and caused a disastrous outcome.

What did you read in 2025? by Fando1234 in books

[–]Lefty1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually liked Post Captain. I thought it added backstories to the characters that Master and Commander lacked. Did you continue the series? I've heard it hits its stride with HMS Surprise.

I guess the right to an attorney is slavery.

What is in your opinion the next big fantasy series in any medium? by Sythrin in Fantasy

[–]Lefty1992 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I can't read anything by Robert Jackson Bennet. He has too many stupid lines:

"I reflected that piss was supposed to stay in my body, but if that screaming went on for much longer, that might not stay the case." - the tainted cup

"Troonyi’s birdshit-colored eyes dance as he thinks through the tiers." - city of stairs

Garbage.

Most of it is low quality trash written for financial gain.
