So is he going to be charged for assisting suicide or what? At least it’s must be a redeeming factor that Charlie Kirk was begging for it.

Yes, the name is irrelevant.

Whatever it’s called you’ll be amazed by how few times you ever have to say it once you have it.

The only times I’ve had to use a word for the “universal healthcare” that we have (which doesn’t have a name) is when trying to describe it to people who don’t have it already. Everyone in the world except America will understand “healthcare” in this way to begin with. If you really need to explain something that is not, you’d explicitly use “private healthcare” or “insurance” for anything else.

It would be funny though if it was named after his wife: ‘“I don’t really care, do you?”- care"’

If the the next president is a democrat he/she ought to leave it be as a pillar of shame and run the office from somewhere else.

Leave the clean up for the next republican, so they can face their selfmade turd themselves.

Weird to announce it in advance. Just fucking do it.

Also, if you’re serious, don’t get to close any windows during the weekend.

Because they wanted them to go vote instead of chasing not-voting-anyway-illegal immigrants?

I tried to catch it all from a closer angle in an upwards panorama shot, but then the bus started driving.

He has the most punchable face of any 45 years old pre-teen I’ve ever seen.

It’s in the article. A journalist asked a long leading question which was a critisism of Trump and then asked if Zelenskiy felt like a scapegoat for everything.

The journalist basically already said everything worth saying about it, so there was no point in answering it.

I hate that kind of journalism, because it’s usually done in an attempt to make the interviewee admit to something they never stated themselves, or to drag out whatever point the journalist wants to make themselves in the first place.

I believe it started in sports news where the players are usually very brief, so the journalists invented this way of describing everything that happened only to end with a redundant question like “…this must be very important for your team?” or similar.

Anyway, I guess Zelenskiy was able to use it by utilizing his experience as a comedian and not answering with anything but a smile, which the audience caught as an acknowledgment of everything they were thinking themselves. Like, it’s all implied and understood, no more words are necessary.

The Scaramucci is a complex number, because while he might have worked 11 days, he got fired before his contract started, so his total days of employment is weirdly negative.

Also he missed the birth of one of his children and got served divorce papers in those same days.

I think we can all learn something important from the amazing fuck up that Scaramucci achieved in such short time: Don’t do coke.

They do prevent a lot water bottles and belt buckles that would otherwise be a serious threat to the safety of good law-abiding citizens.

Yeah, companies still do that regardless of the rate.

As for understanding progressive taxation, I think the easiest way to explain it is simply to ask how much money you’d have after taxes. It always pays off to make more money. Perhaps show a XY diagram with income and income after taxes. There’s no magic bracket where the graph goes downwards.

It’s worth noting that the tax rate might be 90, but the effective taxation is a much lower percentage of the earnings.

Corporate Tax is calculated after costs, while personal tax is calculated more or less directly on earnings and then you need to cover your costs from whatever remains. This might explain the confusion.

It’s a stupid question.

Nobody is stupid enough to rule out an emergency.

If anyone would, it would be him. He just needs a map and a really big sharpie.

Sure, the lost trust was not worth it. He could’ve just asked politely for the same thing.

He talks a lot of bullshit, but even he underestimated the stamina of the Danish Foreign Minister when it comes to maintaining a bullshit dialogue.

However, I don’t think that portraying it as if the bully got framed is a good way to see it, because that acknowledges the behaviour of the bully and that Denmark stooped down to play with the bully. It’s a fair description, but not really useful for anything other than critisism. We need to look forward.

I still prefer to view it as an agreement between allies rather than a win/lose scenario. Once the passageways over the Arctic opens it will be beneficial to Nato and EU that China doesn’t have the opportunity to interfere economically.

It also solidifies Greenlands position among the “western” world if/when they decide to become independent. If they went independent right now, they’d be a 3rd world country, and we already know how China likes to “invest” in 3rd world countries for their own benefit only.

I think the trust is gone for lots of other reasons as well, so it will take decades to rebuild that. Again, we need to look ahead, and this agreement is a small step in the right direction.

I wouldn’t call it a bad deal. He walked in with nothing, asked for a lot, walked away with something, which is more than he deserved to get

I don’t think any other potential outcome would’ve been better for anyone.

Actually I’d rather call it an agreement than a deal, because the only losers of the “deal” (Russia and China) were not part of the negotiation at all.

I doubt that he wrote any of that himself.

It is part of this story. Robert Kraft is the one who pushed the future venues to cancel Macklemore.

It’s even dumber if that’s their reason to vote no.

The best option to achieve the apparently very important idea that UN should not be discussing this would be to vote yes. Get it over with and move along.

But nooooo. They must throw a tantrum protest vote so everyone can see how horrible it is that they were asked a question that means so little to them.

I just want him to go away. Punished or not. Dead or alive. I don’t care, as long as I never have to read about him doing any more atrocities.

I don’t think he’s capable of resigning.
