I wish I was winning round cheeses! TFW too hetero a man to seduce a farmer and get treated like this:

Bullet vending machines? Just in case you find yourself running low on bullets while out and about in the city? “Damn it. They’re out of Snickers bars so I guess I’ll just settle for some 9mm.”

Hope Ukraine can get a lot done in the 2 months before US policy changes back. Maybe Biden is trying to force a rift between two old dictators before he leaves office, because as is I doubt Putin is going to allow Trump to stay on Ukraine’s side.

Fabulous.

I disagree that “their humiliating defeat on November 5 was due largely to their undeniable role in the Israeli war and genocide in Gaza.” I definitely think it played a role and Dems would have won more voters with concrete promises to halt Israel’s genocide and enforce US laws like the Leahy Law. People are justifiably upset with Israel crossing lines without Biden enforcing consequences, and the huge amounts of money going to fund genocide as opposed to being used domestically.

Was it really THE major issue affecting votes though? IMO the more significant issues were things like a feeling of “more of the same” when people are struggling and focusing on trying to win “moderate” Republicans instead of motivating a base they thought was guaranteed. Still, it’s an article with valid points.

It’s nice to know cracks are beginning to appear in his administration not even 10 days post-election. The more people opposing Trump the better for almost everyone. Even if it’s bastards opposing bastards.

Huh, never thought I’d be an Infowars listener, but then I also never thought Trump would be a two-term president. So I guess this is just a strange timeline.

The article has a quote about how Musk is a great asset to the US: “He’s a Thomas Edison. He doesn’t care about wealth.” Musk fired about 20% of his workforce earlier this year and took a 46 billion-dollar bonus that was so large it was blocked by a judge (as far as I know he got it anyways when the shareholders voted again). What a selfless hero showing he cares more about people than money.

8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and you can find episodes if you want on YouTube.

They’re such a good duo :)

For over 50% of the population the economy either way is likely to be “hope I make rent”. To make matters worse, if Trump applies the tariffs he promised yearly expenses will rise by over 2,600 USD per year.

Sean Locke and Miles Jupp putting a personal bet on the outcome of a round is one of the funniest moments in the whole series.

Rare W for separation of church and state in Republican territory. I hope it lasts.

Reminds me of a quote from a Warhammer 40k book. “When the stars fell, when the seas boiled and the earth burned, my faith didn’t die. That is when I began to believe. God was real, and he hated us.”

I doubt Israel feels the need to wait out the months. Nothing was happening before, even when Israel crossed “red lines”. Here’s an impact snapshot for Nov. 5th. With Biden in power the situation right now is:

• 345,000 people are at the UN’s highest level of starvation (Level 5 - catastrophic). 876,000 are at Level 4 - emergency.

• 87% of housing units are completely destroyed or seriously damaged. Average space for people in shelters is 1.5sq meters (5sq feet), less than half the 3.5sq meters (11.5sq feet) considered the humane minimum.

• At least 137 journalists killed, 47 injured, 71 arrested. It’s the deadliest period since the CPJ started collecting data in 1992.

Remember the outrage when the rocket hit the parking lot outside Al-Ahli hospital a few days into the war, with both sides claiming they’d never attack a hospital? Now 19 of 36 hospitals hospitals are completely out of service, and the remaining 17 are only partially functional. 130 ambulances have been damaged or destroyed.

The change Israel has announced post-election is plans to bring Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, calling the Trump presidency “an opportunity”.

Thank you for the perspective.

Holy cow. I plugged that into a translator and it’s awful. Every time I think Israel can’t go lower something like this comes out. I can’t believe they have sung this song for almost a decade. I was going to post parts of it here to save people the effort of translating it, but it’s so hateful I don’t want to be responsible for that.

My mistake, deleting it.

The Guardian has a story with the sequence of events and more video of multiple incidents. Maccabi (the Israeli team) supporters started burning Palestinian flags, vandalized a taxi, and started chanting about “let the IDF win, we will fuck the Arabs” and “there are no more children in Gaza.”

Stuff like that went on for a while, police made a couple of arrests, then after the soccer match things got nastier. 5 people hospitalized (don’t know who), Amsterdam natives demanding to know if people were Jewish and to see passports, Israeli supporters setting off fireworks and using makeshift weapons pulled from a construction site.

World leaders are calling it a targeted attack against Jews and shameful. No word in the article about leader reactions to what the Israelis did.

Edit for an important P.S. - Please don’t lump all Jews into this. There are many Jews that are at least as fervent in their opposition to what’s going on in Israel as any of us. Probably a lot more so because of the personal stakes. I think it’s super important to support them because they’re fighting from inside the culture. Israel does not equal all Jews - please don’t be antisemitic.
