    It dawns on me that the Trumps could become another among the political dynasties of the USA.

    Listed on the pages of textbooks next to the Bushes, the Kennedys, the Clintons.

    Mount Rushmore updated for the early 2000's.

  • Alright, okay, but there's a part of me that wonders why we're focusing on Greta Thunberg. This is in News and not The Dunk Tank.

    So, do we think that she's intentionally laundering for the MIC to turn Georiga into another active battleground against Russia or is she just another one of the millions of people who get swept up in these types of things and we only care because she's a celebrity?





  • Well yeah but we could also not buy the house. I just don't want to pay for an inspection that tells us it's fucked and be out that money for nothing, if it's visibly fucked

    As a person who owns a house that has lots of fucked up things we've been slowly finding over the years, I absolutely feel you.

    Me playing Master of Orion 2, fast tracking through the tech tree to Battle Pods, Fast Missile Racks, and the third or fourth level of missiles.

    Then just pumping out frigates with nothing but missiles to unload their payload and retreat leaving one large ship with minimal weapons to stick around to see the 3 opposing ships get shredded by 20 or 30 missiles.


  • Eh... she's protesting the more right wing part of the government winning an election. Seems fine to me.

    Russia is useful for destabilizing the Western dominated world order, but is definitely not a "friend" of the left.

    Edit: (gonna leave my comment here, because I earned this)

    Woof, fucked a hornets nest on this one didn't I?

    My intent, ultimately wrongheaded as I may be, was to wonder why we care about Greta Thunberg taking a side in this. I wasn't aware she was more than a minor celebrity based on climate change stuff and has enough... I don't know... influence to draw more outside support for this attempt at a color revolution. This feels likes something for The Dunk Tank and not News.

    Sure, she made some negative statements about US imperialism, but that's pretty low hanging fruit. Its the easiest thing in the world to do when there's a flag to identify who is doing what. But can completely understand why it might be much harder to see what's likely going on when the flags are the Georgian flag and the Russian flag, especially when you're in your early 20's.
