@rachelscbloor Hi Rachel. I’m not clear from the syntax who is saying the racial shit.“while “ as a subordinated conjunction should join the noun nearest it — the smug liberals. You’re probably right, but I like to think that at least they don’t intend to be racist which is something.
WOW. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who is a personal friend of President Biden, calls him to get out of the race:
"I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone in a Lisbon hotel room, and it made me weep. I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime — precisely because of what it revealed: Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for re-election.
...If he does, everyday Americans will hail Joe Biden for doing what Donald Trump would never do — put the country before himself."

In his quest for "strategic autonomy," Macron runs the risk of downplaying Europe's interest in defending democracy. We should know by now that the profits from trade with China do not justify Beijing's efforts to undermine human rights at home and abroad. https://t.co/dBYRXeSMRq
One of the few people in Russia with some capacity to speak freely about the war in Ukraine is Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin. He just refuted Putin's rationales for the invasion -- that it is to fight NATO or to rid Ukraine of Nazis. https://t.co/PduH2ef1Sm
@AvatarDomy It’s called relativity. How can you play catch with someone on a train? The earth is traveling at 67000 miles per hour. Much faster than that tractor.
These bank failures are why congress passed Glass Steagall in 1933. Why has no one commented on its repeal in 1999? We would have a much healthier banking system without its repeal.
