Then they fuck

No it's way funnier. He did do the crime. Dining and dashing.

It's just he was mistaken for a international criminal from Hungary wanted for credit card fraud, who also had a habit on the side of dining and dashing as well (just for kicks I guess).

So the Queensland police got tipped off by Interpol that this Hungarian guy might be around doing credit card fraud, but he might be dining and dashing.

So when they got reports of a guy serially dining and dashing, they launched this huge operation to catch him. But he was just a random Australian guy.

They have a recurring bit where they pretend to break up pretty often. I genuinely don't think that happened this time, I do think Jack Black actually weaselled to protect his image. But it would be an amazing bit had they planned this.

Thanks for the reply. For the record I'm talking about exaggerating the tactical utility (or even outright lying) of highspeed rail so normal people can benefit, in a shit post at work to distract myself.

It's wild. I'll admit I was worried about it helping him swoop back in.

I think the fact the shooter was a white reactionary just looking to kill anyone famous nearby took some of the wind out of their sails. That and how Trump wasn't really that badly hurt, like it turns out it was a scrape from some glass not an actual gunshot wound. It's not like Reagan having to have surgery.

That and the timing of Biden stepping down and Harris ascending.

I guess the answer is to sell high speed rail as having benefit as military project like the interstate highway was.

Like we can have a million soldiers moved from east coast to west coast or vice versa or the borders in less than 6 hours type of thing,

or locked in a random room, or detained by security

Some people get all the luck

Probably needs a content warning somewhere.

I think about how the joke "shot himself twice is the head" thing sometimes is sometimes actually true. Like sometimes suicidal people fail the initial attempt and keep going instead of seeking help or stopping.

But there's like no way that happened here, this seems like the fiancé killed her.

Which makes Walz a good choice for the Democrats and winning sadly. The dictatorship of the bourgeois wins no matter what.

Lot of good answers here. As I always keep bringing up contradictions are resolved by practice. The USA is built on a whole host of contradictions international, national, economic and societal, and we can't predict how they will be resolved. Even if the very unlikely event everyone somehow peacefully threaded the needle to resolve all these contradictions in a way that a USA still exists it would not be the same USA through the process it's been through.
