He’s been listening to Rubio again…

Yeah this is a reheated take that should have been posted in 2015.

I hate the “when” framing of this headline. That framing alone is propaganda to make it seem inevitable.

I instinctively downvoted this out of pure disgust. Then undid it because unfortunately this is relevant news, not his post. Yuck.

Accountability in the USA has been so poor that it’s forcing other countries to follow through just to prove they’re better (they are better, to be clear)

Happy birthday, idiot

I mean, the people did vote for her… if someone is gonna have to be the puppet/figurehead it should still be her, not the previous administration.

It can’t be revoked or transferred, he just has the physical token. He’s an idiot.

If he wants something shiny, and it has a chance of protecting even one Venezuelan family from senseless tantrums, might as well hand it over. It’s not exactly a bold move but it is a peaceful one, and it might help.

I theorize he is trying to get into heaven (???) and he might believe that the only thing that could cancel out all his sins is to become the Nobel Peace Prize winner (???) through violence (???)

None of this makes any sense if you don’t have severe dementia.

I feel like her sacrificial decision to give him this (ultimately meaningless) symbolic token in exchange for the potential of peace for her country is showing why she deserved the Peace Prize in the first place. If handing it over makes Trump chill the hell out about working with Venezuela’s succession, it will have been worth it.

(This situation is obviously batshit insane and it’s pathetic that he’s extorting her, but at least she’s trying to use all her resources available to manipulate this mad king and sue for peace - if this Nobel Prize was driving his hatred, it’s best to sacrifice it I guess. Especially since the actual honor is non-transferrable LMAO)

They’re union. It helps a lot.

Dude was paid by the word and it shows. On the bright side, the book is excellent- it’s just a bit padded. I feel like it’s one of the few books where I feel like an abridged version might be an improvement.

I have audio processing issues that make me hear everything at equal levels of attention.

This means I can’t be in an echoey restaurant without earplugs, but it did help me become a professional orchestra conductor and everyone tells me it’s surprising how well I can notice tiny details from individual players. Go figure.

I’m sure they’ll get around to it in six, maybe seven years.

Which Lemmy instance? It’s federated and each server is different. It’s like asking “what will be the top post on the forum” or “what’ll be pinned on Discord”.

Yeah, my comeback to this is usually “and some of us have plenty to spare”

I think he knows what he’s doing, since all he’s really doing is stuffing his pockets. Doesn’t take a genius to cartoonishly sell out the entire planet’s economy for personal gain. I’m sure if he manages to crash the dollar he’ll be thrilled to roll out Trumpcoin as the alternative and then rugpull the world a second time.

The dude really wants to buy his way into heaven with a last-minute, utterly unearned Nobel Peace Prize.

Thank goodness that last pic is edited, the bird didn’t fall did it? (not ironic, I got worried about the bird and want a happy ending here)
