@activemuffin @mack_a_d00 @D_Rose_XO Being an American in living in Australia is quite an experience because of losers like this making us all look bad.

Also prosecuting Ben Roberts-Smith was super justified, way better than my country pardoning our war criminals :D

@a_luffa @stpiusthegood @disparutoo Genuine loser behavior I won’t lie

@Kintakus @MartyTheElder Yeah this isn’t true. What programs are you referring to? The only one I know of is the FHA-insured mortgages, which citizens do qualify for. The only rule that was changed was that people here on work visas and had a SS number can no longer qualify

@qAnonymo3 @ZackG0G @lovelycoys Yeah but not all war crimes are equivalent. For instance, Korea killed around 5,000 civilians in these war crimes in the Vietnam War. Compare that to the 10-14 million Japan killed purposefully, or even to the 29-31 million they killed in total. It’s not the same.

[xXCHAN_CHANXx @XxchanC]

@qAnonymo3 @ZackG0G @lovelycoys Some estimates have it as high at 14 million. And that’s the purposeful ones, if we take total civilian casualties due to Japanese occupation the number approaches 31 million at the high end.

[xXCHAN_CHANXx @XxchanC]

@qAnonymo3 @ZackG0G @lovelycoys Those were fucked up, and as much as I’ll agree that the US’ actions in Vietnam amount to war crimes (just study our interventionism there), it pales in comparison to Japan’s in World War 2. I mean we’re talking close to 10 million civilians purposefully killed by Japan

@FallB231712 @strangerous10 @Strogg1959 @struminmypain I don’t even think it provides insight into business pressure either. It fits for one small industry. Not every industry is the same. My family was heavily involved in utilities, I’m in cybersecurity. I can tell you rn the business pressures are completely different

[xXCHAN_CHANXx @XxchanC]

@FallB231712 @strangerous10 @Strogg1959 @struminmypain As someone who’s originally from a country where we are run by a businessman and it’s been absolutely disastrous, please don’t make the same mistake assuming people with a business background are remotely capable of running a country

Fox is mad because Obama accurately described American history.

The founders did lay the groundwork for democracy.

They also left slavery intact and denied full rights to millions of people.

That is not “attacking America.”

That is understanding why the Constitution says “a more perfect union” — because the work was never finished.

Patriotism is not pretending the country was perfect.

It’s caring enough to keep improving it.

Marco Rubio used to have masked men kidnap students on the street of Somerville for saying stuff like this

Apple is a $4.35 trillion corporation. It made $112 billion in profits last year & paid its CEO, who's already worth $2.9 billion, $74 million in compensation. In the past 3 years, it's spending $310 billion on stock buybacks.

Don't cite inflation. Cite the damn corporate greed.

[xXCHAN_CHANXx @XxchanC]

@Reee_Newman @WokeGamin @fwprism Yeah…you don’t know history if you think this is the case

@drakloak @factsovrhetoric @MaryEM106 @libsoftiktok @MLB That doesn’t apply here, the undue hardship clause would be super easy to apply here.

It’s a publicly facing uniform, and it’s used heavily for team branding. Courts distinguish between these as altering one means the company loses the right to control its own branding

this double standard for Republican politicians has existed my entire life where they can routinely demean all Democrats as scum of the earth and all cities as unlivable shitholes but everyone threw a hissy fit over "they cling to their guns and religion" for years

@JeylloBe @NotSkalded @mehdirhasan Technically the unfreezed money is 100 billion. Then we’re adding an additional 300 billion in investments lmaooo. But the 1.7B for a better deal is worse to these people
