Can the UN even do anything to the United States if they have a unilateral security council veto? I would think that the USA would successfully find a way to argue that sanctioning them for crimes against humanity is not considered a “procedural” decision.

With a pit stop at a cafe on the way for a coffee and a cigarette (breakfast).

There likely wouldn’t be enough IRS agents to audit that many people at once. There aren’t enough to go after tax cheats when people abide by the system en masse, so if there were a concerted effort to stop paying, they would probably have trouble with enforcement.

Now, I’m 100% certain that the Trump admin would push the IRS to “make examples” of a few unlucky people, and I’m not expecting a large enough pool of people participating in the new viral meme “just don’t pay your taxes, they can’t arrest us all” for it to matter.

ICE is full of DEI hires. Or as I like to call them, DUI hires.

You should have received your ballot by now, if you opted for mail-in. Call your local registrar of voters to make sure that they sent it, or else just go in on election day to do it.

All of them?

All of them.

Does demolishing a 120+ year old historical building to replace it with a gold-plated ballroom sound like the actions of a man who intends to leave office in 3 years time?

That was his exact strategy during his first term and he executed it to great effect. Millions of taxpayer dollars got funneled right back into the Trump family coffers.

That’s because Trump lies about there being a crime epidemic to send in the military.

Take special notice on how the Trump administration never ever ever provides proof or evidence or data of any of these claims. Just “this blue city is a crime infested hellhole” and then they move straight to rubber stamping the jack boot thugs against the wishes of the local governments.

If these military deployments actually had a measurable effect on crime rates in cities, you know for a fact that Republican snakes would be blasting those stats on every airwave.

If they are so cunning, why can’t they win a fucking election?

Oh yes, the game where I say “This time I will build tall and focus on diplomacy and alliance building”, before it inevitably devolves into science rush into a military buildup to carry out a century-long xenophopic extermination campaign to rid the galaxy of the alien race who wronged me.

Call me crazy, but maybe I’m uncomfortable associating an entire ethnic group with words written in a book over two millenia ago. Times change, and society changes along with it.

I don’t know a single person who follows the bible/torah/quran as an absolutist. Everyone from every religion and every sect likes to pick and choose what they like to follow.

If someone is committing an act of genocide against another people, I can guarantee they were going to do it regardless of what their silly book says about it.

I have way too many of these and have lost count over time. Porn/porn games, old flash games/animations from Newgrounds, classic memes that only I seem to remember, stuff I saw for sale once upon a time that are sold out and can’t be found anywhere anymore, esoteric collectibles, comments I made on videos or posts literal decades ago, old websites long since defunct and so far lost that even wayback machine doesn’t have them on record, underground/indie music recordings that I definitely had at one point and then lost when switching hard drives out. The list definitely goes on but those are the ones off the top of my head.

I wouldn’t paint with such broad strokes. Jews aren’t the ones to blame for that, the state of Israel is. Just because their state sanctioned religion is Judaism doesn’t mean their philosophy is inherently genocidal.

That being said, if all the monotheistic abrahamic derivatives fell off the face of the earth, I think we’d be set on a better course as a species.

Not only is this a ripoff, but traveling to the United States right now from literally any foreign country is a terrible idea.

If you get picked up off the street by the secret police, there’s nobody who can come to your aid at that point.

Coming up with a stage name is usually something that agents will tell their clients to do if their name sounds “too ethnic”. Happens when they are auditioning for roles, not when they get famous.

Random fact I heard the other day: Leonardo DiCaprio almost sent out headshots with a stage name at the advice of his agent, but his dad talked him out of it and told him to be proud of his name. I forget what they told him his stage name should be, but it was way more generic and forgettable than his real name.

Because going high when they go low has been a totally winning strategy for us up until this point, right?

I saw the twin full size American flags on the back of the truck and I instantly pegged him as a MAGA nutter.

It’s really not hard to spot this particular brand of mental illness.

Please Nintendo do your thing

They won’t.

Nintendo are famous for making examples out of people who do not have the means to fight back in court. Say what you want about Trump, but he’s the king of stalling for time in court, and in this case, he has an unlimited amount of taxpayer money to fight his legal battles, and he has an unusually strong grip on the judiciary, so Nintendo could still conceivably lose the court case if they get assigned to a MAGA judge.

This will be the end of it. They’ve divorced themselves from the DHS shenanigans and that’s all they were obligated to do in the interest of protecting their brand.

The thing that will kill this is forcing users to migrate to a new app. Removing the largest friction barrier that prevents people from leaving your app by forcing them to cross it is a great way to scatter the TikTok userbase to the four winds.

I hope this kills TikTok, and that the people who enjoyed using it remember who was responsible for it.
