Russia did start it, that’s why the Minsk Accords were a thing to begin with. You’re the one pretending history starts at some politically convenient point.

Ukraine is a distinct nation with its own culture, language, history and art. They should be free to self govern, not be conquered by a neighbor. There is no justification for Russia’s invasion, it’s a genocide.

Russia started the war and they have the power to end it. That’s not ‘warmongering’ it’s the only path to lasting peace. Fuck war, fuck Putin.

Biden

Fuck you too pal

Yeah, they should have. Congress ended up doing the opposite, forcing him to continue funding. Democrats don’t have nearly the party unity that Republicans do around immigration, I think that’s why it keeps being leveraged as a wedge issue.

I thought you were saying they were ineffective at enacting their agenda because they didn’t use rescission packages.

If we’re talking about what you just said I have no quarrel.

I’m with you there but you could not have got even a simple majority of elected representatives to agree to that. It would have to be something that Democrats broadly support.

Well a rescission package can only be used to cut spending, so it couldn’t have been used by the Democrats to pass new spending.

What do you think they should have used it to cut?

The only differences I can think of is not chickening out on the tariffs and forcing the interest rate lower to kick off runaway inflation.

Sounds like Ashley Barrett

What are you talking about?

It’s an investigation with interviews and reporters. They have quotes from government officials and everything. It’s not like The Intercept is an AI mill, they aren’t even the only paper doing journalism on this story:

Fuck off, imprisonment for being trans is destructive and outright evil, so is bombing prisoners.

I don’t understand how that’s blame, it’s a natural outcome. If I said ‘carrying a nestle water bottle has the effect of promoting the brand, even if you didn’t pay for it’ that doesn’t mean I’m blaming people for drinking water, it’s just an observation about the power of branding.

I’m not blaming anyone, I’m just investing my energies in other things. I have plans for after she dies, but as long as she can draw a profit form the brand I would personally rather boycott it.

I used to be of that opinion, but after a series of conversations about it I came around to the idea that any engagement, even non-commercial, has the effect of promoting the brand.

I’m just waiting for her to die so we can do like Lovecraft and enjoy the books while hating the author.
