Can you imagine the alternate headline of "US sends peace keeping force to Saudi Arabia to protect African migrants"? That's a sociopolitical minefield if there ever was one. I'm sure that if the US knew, so did most everyone else, and there weren't any other countries lining up to help. SA isn't known for being a clandestine government, more of a "What are you gonna do about it, buy more oil?" kind of operation. The US is damned if we do, damned if we don't. Step in and its Team America World Police, don't do anything and we are standing by letting genocidal governments kill nations.

Maybe I'm just over-hopeful, but I think "generations" is far too much of an over~~under~~statement. With the way that technology moves, I don't think we'll be waiting that long.

If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I'm all for it. Same goes for driver's licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, "This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that," and I just thought, "I sure fucking hope so." I'm not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I'm dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it's gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.

Lmao. I remember when hearing that a new game had a hundred hours of content was great! Now it's like, thank god Ubisoft stopped sniffing its own farts.

That's all the man said! He gave a list of people, and then said he wanted to kill them. It's not like he was giving a review of the Barbie movie and anecdotally said that sometimes he has dark thoughts. He said he wants to kill anyone who doesn't support Trump.

Let's sprinkle song crack on him and get out of here.

I've missed this meme.

I'm assuming this is what they are talking about... https://www.politifact.com/article/2009/dec/18/politifact-lie-year-death-panels/

Don't get it mistaken, if anyone can find some for Biden we'll be happy to charge them, too... This isn't liberals against conservatives, it's Americans against fascism.

It's not Earth that's in trouble...
