From the sound of it, this was a commercial Filipino fishing vessel that likely rammed the Chinese ship by accident because the Chinese navy damaged that ship with powerful water cannons.

DODGE is a government agency and they were carrying out a political agenda they WON the election on. Guess what, this is what we are seeing happening across the US government. The same with ICE. More than HALF of your country wanted this. I don’t like what they’re doing but that’s the choice Americans made. If you want to reverse it, elect a government that can!

There are very much other instances of us on the “left” doing this. People have gotten fired for being vaguely racist lgbt etc speech. This is very much the same type of argument they are making. This is echo chamber talk and the downvote that I am seeing is very much a reflection of the lack of self-awareness that we often accuse them of. Do reflect deeply, and not act just on the basis of your emotions and biases.

Also, do dig deeper, some have said much more than “Kirk was hateful.”

No it’s not but I recall people making similar lists for other causes, most recently ICE agents, or DODGE staffers, etc. This isn’t new, and it is the new political reality. We can’t be like them saying “hey not for us” when we employ the same tactics they do.

Brazil courts could what the most powerful democracy in the world couldn’t.

Sorry Guardian. It’s been long known around the world about these scam centers. Only the Guardian and its reporters may have been the ignorant ones. There are also massive centers in Cambodia. Chinese crime syndicates have been setting these up in other parts of South East Asia and Africa as well.

China is also building coal power at an unprecedented rate. https://www.carbonbrief.org/chinas-construction-of-new-coal-power-plants-reached-10-year-high-in-2024/

When did we ever have to pay for vaccines? (Ontario here)

More graft

Complete immunity from any and all consequences too.

Imagine what other risks this mofo is taking now that he’s back in power.

They’re called magats.

We all knew he meant Make America White Again.

I would have stopped with the first sentence. They are all trying to apologize to Trump for any bad news.

If you are off from your prior estimate by that much, you didn’t know what the FUCK you’re doing moron! Can you fucking believe that clownshow? Holyshit. Try that in private sector and you’ll be fired in a second!

Barbaric. Uncivilized.

You mean she didn’t hire the crowd like Trump did? Pfft amateur.

Here it comes.

The new poll, conducted by Echelon Insights, has Newsom in second place among potential Democratic candidates with 13 percent support, behind former Vice President Kamala Harris with 26 percent.

Good god. Enough is enough.

US has snuck these mobile missile systems into the Philippines. At first they said missiles were there temporarily as part of joint military exercises, but delayed removing them. It’s now been a few years since and these missiles have become a fixture over there. Chinese are going to come out with a warning about this “provocation” by the US and Philippines soon.

Oh look at this. Trump is making friends out of enemies! He surely deserves the Nobel Peas Prize! (sarcasm, intentional misspelling)
