Ron Howard: They won’t

Cosmonauticus,

That’s the problem. And I feel calling him out about it is valid considering only a select few on the left try to do anything regarding campaign finance reform

Cosmonauticus,

How about running on campaign finance reform and actually trying to do something about it within your party until it becomes a major philosophy of your party like they did with gay marriage?

Gen Z influencers who supported Biden in 2020 turn against him (www.washingtonpost.com)

“I have noticed that there have been a lot more events with creators, but the creators that are getting invited are the creators who are very pro Biden and just parroting talking points or sharing photo ops of them smiling with the President. Not the creators who have been critical,” said Kahlil Greene, a history content...

Cosmonauticus,

What? If anything I’ve seen right wingers push Joe isn’t doing enough to help Israel.

Also the dude was wagging his finger at Israel for blowing up and starving children. Left wing criticism of it is warranted and you SHOULD be offended.

From my view the thing turning ppl off of Biden is his supporters considering any valid criticism of him as supporting Trump

Cosmonauticus,

I remember working in France right after Trump got elected. So many ppl told us how bizarre our politics were and what a joke it was.

That didn’t age very well

Cosmonauticus,

When the fuck were conservatives like Ron? Ron was never a quasi-racist, fear mongering, rich asshole, who catered to hate groups, and facist Christian nationalist while pretending to be morally superior.

The closest the Republican party was to Ron was before the great switch.

Cosmonauticus,

You can sum up 400 years of European history with this one image

Cosmonauticus,

This is what you get when you continuously elect lawmakers with no political experience.

I’m actually fine with electing inexperienced lawmakers. I just want ones who are willing to ask for help/advice from others qualified to give it. Continuously electing beltway insiders just preserves the status quo

Cosmonauticus,

I think they meant on the political spectrum Biden is still right of center. Something that is entirely true and ppl find problematic. Just because Biden doesn’t cry about bullshit like wokism and whine about the border doesn’t mean the guy isn’t politically conservative

Cosmonauticus,

They’re going to have to figure out something. I just hope whatever that something is will be humane

Ron Howard narrating - It won’t

Cosmonauticus, (edited )

His mother died in 2013

Story is a bummer the whole way down

Cosmonauticus,

Obligatory fuck Ronald Reagan

Cosmonauticus,

Fuck that. 2 year olds love trains. I’ve seen then drive them into mansions, dream houses, cereal boxes. This would be no problem

Cosmonauticus,

To be fair I heard on npr yesterday he was a poet from the leftist opposition. New details emerge with time. Can’t be 100% correct on a story developing across the ocean

Cosmonauticus,

They made it a secret? “Make America great again.” Pretty sure we all know they meant pre civil rights

Cosmonauticus,

Hooray

Tho the fact that is had to be blocked in general is oof…

Cosmonauticus,

France in general doesn’t get as much hate as it should. They’re about as bad as the US with all the economic colonialism they still practice

Cosmonauticus,

Tldr: she’s a racist bitch

Cosmonauticus,

I’m all for making this a thing

Cosmonauticus,

Yeah but when you point that out you’re called a idiot for unintentionally backing Trump. Any criticism of the system or Biden no matter how deserved somehow is support for Trump

Cosmonauticus,

White ppl have learned about it now so the government is absolved from fixing it

Cosmonauticus,

I can kinda understand ppl being against this. Go back to the US and get your backwards ass congress to pull their head out their asses. Plus they’re probably some who aren’t too fond of his involvement in Israel.

Cosmonauticus,

Can you sink lower than the rock bottom?

Cosmonauticus,

New Hampshire lawmaker Jess Edwards is probably a pedophile

Cosmonauticus,

You’re not really paying your fair share while exploiting someone

Cosmonauticus,

The current mayor of Portland pushed for laws making homelessness illegal. In this case its wealthly Democrats and Republicans pushing to making homelessness illegal

Cosmonauticus,

Yeah imagine getting upset over someone blatantly lieing about your country by claiming they ate WW2 soliders. /s

Land of the dinosaurs: baseline of sexism overshadows tennis in Madrid (www.theguardian.com)

When the female tennis players head back to Spain’s capital for the Madrid Open this week, they may be forgiven for letting out a collective groan. A quick glance at the tournament’s history shows a litany of gaffes, accusations of inequality and a full-blown sexism row just last year. Not exactly a highlight of the...

Cosmonauticus,

Yeah because Spain is known for its respect towards women. Just ask their national women’s football team

John Leguizamo on Trump’s Latino support: ‘He doesn’t like us, and he doesn’t want us here’ (thehill.com)

Actor John Leguizamo obliterated a small horse piñata while reciting a thorough catalogue of Spanish-language profanities on “The Daily Show” Tuesday in response to a New York Times/Siena poll that reported former President Trump leads President Biden among Latino voters....

Cosmonauticus,

Truly they have been assimilated

Cosmonauticus,

Clearly that 5 year old was a undercover Hamas general hiding out in her mother’s arms

Leaked NYT Gaza Memo Tells Journalists to Avoid Words “Genocide,” “Ethnic Cleansing,” and “Occupied Territory” (theintercept.com)

The New York Times instructed journalists covering Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land, according to a copy of an internal memo obtained by The Intercept....

Cosmonauticus,

It’s time people start realizing that Western media isn’t as unbiased as they once believed

You guys thought western media wasn’t biased?

Cosmonauticus,

I think countries should be more alarmed that they are as susceptible to Russian far right propaganda as they are. Inside all these seemly progressive and democratic countries lies large groups that want to subjugate minority citizens or those who think differently to the point they’d give up their own freedoms

Europeans are getting a serving of humility. When I was visiting Europe just after Trump was elected there was so much, “that could never happen here”. That kind of thinking is naive and dangerous

Cosmonauticus,

It’s never going to happen. America has shit on every treaty its signed from its inception and white ppl wont inconvenience themselves at all to fix race relations in this country

‘Pretty bad’: NBC condemned by top US historian over role for Ronna McDaniel (www.theguardian.com)

The Republican National Committee chair turned NBC politics analyst Ronna McDaniel “tried to disassemble our democracy” by supporting Donald Trump’s electoral fraud lies and should not be given such a media role, a leading historian said amid uproar over the appointment....

Cosmonauticus,

Why? If there’s one thing coporate media always does its whore itself out for ratings by any means necessary.

Cosmonauticus,

The problem is this is going to keep happening every election and if the status quo is all Democrats have to offer apathy is going to set in sooner rather than later. Hell it already did with Hilary yet the DNC have learned nothing.

Democrats are rarely unified since it’s just a party made up of anyone who isn’t Republican. Green, progressive, moderate, socialist, etc. There’s only so long they’ll tolerate being ignored or seeing no progress.

Voters don’t want perfection. They just want someone who seems to have their best interests in mind and unfortunately a lot of ppl don’t see that in Biden let alone most politicians.

I’m voting for Biden but I’m tired of my vote being against Republicans instead of for someone I actually believe.

Cosmonauticus,

Gather the dragon balls to wish him back!!

Here’s to you Toriyama from all of us 90s American otaku’s who you introduced to anime.

Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term (apnews.com)

That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem...

Cosmonauticus,

I think that’s why ppl don’t like him and why this election will be closer than any of us like. A large number of us aren’t voting for Biden, we’re voting against Trump. Again. This isn’t how a party consistently wins elections.

Cosmonauticus,

I think the Senate sometimes, oftentimes, fears anything that could be seen as partisan.

I’ll never understand this. There is a clear divide in parties. There is no working across the isle anymore. You can’t negotiate with someone who denies reality.

Cosmonauticus,

Seems the NYT wanted a propaganda piece more than actual news.

Cosmonauticus,

Main issue with that is shipping, of course the government could give them subsidies to cut the costs

Cosmonauticus,

Everyone likes to think of Italy as this land of the cultured and sophisticated with all the art, food, and architecture. But you’ll find a lot of Italians are as racist and ass backwards as a toothless Klan member in Mississippi.

Cosmonauticus,

Would you say Italian football fans would be considered “a lot of Italians?”

How about Serie A itself?

Or Fratelli d’Italia party members and voters?

Sometimes I think racism is nutrients for a lot of italians because they can not and will not stop with it

Cosmonauticus,

No I’ve never been and don’t plan on going, mainly because of the racism and warnings from other black travelers. That being said outside of Europe the idea Italians are cultured, suave, and classy is definitely a thing. Europe in general is stereotyped that way.

Cosmonauticus,

So if any italians are like Israel. A country with a rich history of strife and oppression but basically ignore it because it’s easier to blame others (in this case brown ppl/immigrants) as the cause of all their problems slowly sliding back to the ideals (in this case racism and fascism) they supposedly rejected.

Cosmonauticus,

Throwing a toaster in the tub = lightning bolt

Cosmonauticus,

The people on here pretending that continuing the war in any way helps the situation are sickening.

No they’re saying that giving up your only leverage is a stupid idea. This is about the politics of war and negotiation. The only thing keep Palestinian and Hamas from being paved over into a parking lot are the hostages. But it’s not like the IDF gives a fuck about the hostages anyway

Hamas started this war for propaganda. They’ll never let those poor female hostages tell of their horrors - that will look bad.

Everyone knows Hamas is bad. How many ppl do you see saying, “I stand with hamas”. The ongoing opinion is there is no good guy in this. Only civilian (mostly Palestinian civilians) victims

Cosmonauticus,

Well they’re negotiating over it right now so clearly it’s has limited the IDF in that way

Cosmonauticus,

Except those two things are not the same. We already have regulatory organizations that determine how food is handled and distributed. We can’t regulate veganism, we can regulate food waste
