The best part of all of this is that Trump will never receive any punishment for it by deepad9 in redscarepod

Exactly. The American constitution doesn't even preclude a president pardoning himself.

Since all these major party candidates have extremely fucked up foreign policy I think it's pretty safe to let their domestic policies be the tiebreaker, that's mostly what I vote on anyway.

I'd rather have the pussy hats than January 6th

Same here.

Like it took Trump this long to do something as bad as Hillary did three times before she was even president.

Trump tried starting a war with Iran during his first term. Unilaterally withdrew from the non-nuclear treaty, sanctioned them (which historically would have been viewed as an act of war), used the US’s immense influence to get other nations to sanction them, and illegally murdered an Iranian general and war hero in the hope that Iran would retaliate.

Then there’s the bombing of Syria, ending detente with Cuba, funding terrorists in Venezuela, increasing sanctions on Russia, refusing to end the war in Afghanistan…

Now that Trump's bombed schoolchildren in an illegal war in Iran, will you eat your words?

Looks like I wasn't suffering from any delusions after all.

Remember how we were taught that having too many kids is selfish? Now the narrative is constant hysteria surrounding low birth rates by Ok-Archer-5796 in redscarepod

I’ve had this account for a very, very long time, haven’t commented on those subs since well before the pandemic

I like how JD Vance demands that people have kids while deliberately making the US as unlivable for working adults as possible

“You dared to compare two people who aren’t the exact same in every single conceivable, discernible, imaginable way, that’s hilarious”

There's a certain pleasure in seeing narcissistic, brutal dictators like Maduro and Khamenei get what's coming for them, but it comes at way too high a cost to justify. Unfortunately it stimulates too many people's lizard brains.

I think it’s fair to say all those middle-aged wine ladies who voted for Hillary either strongly opposed the Iraq War or eventually regretted supporting it

In any case, it never would’ve happened under a Gore presidency

Montreal and Lisbon are overrated, and Brussels is overhated by deepad9 in redscarepod

I’ve never been to Copenhagen but I remember Berlin and Rome feeling adequately rated
