Can’t find anything else on this game, and I’m pretty sure this article was written by ChatGPT…

In case anyone, like me, wants a source for Pence refusing to get in the car with the Secret Service. It’s from the book “I Alone Can Fix It.”

The “terrified” part is speculation, but potentially true.

Jokes on you! I’m hyper-focusing on that shit. Card games and board games are my jam.

So I haven’t seen any of what you are talking about, and I’m an avid consumer of NPR. I love that they generally avoid rage bait and present the news in a calm yet accurate manner.

That being said, I am open to being persuaded if you can present some solid evidence.

I'll bite, here's a little list of the top of my head.

  1. They've had a failed invasion of Ukraine
  2. Rampant corruption
  3. Putin is getting old and frail
  4. Russia has a struggling economy where "Fortress Russia" is starting to fall short
  5. Drone strikes from Ukraine have been able to target major Russian cities.
  6. There was a mini-coup attempt by one of Putin's closest allies where a standing army nearly made it to Moscow while shooting down multiple Russian military aircraft.

Yeah, the man literally had a show on RT. He’s problematic at best.

Reminds me of the Key and Peele sketch about Obama meeting with the GOP.

You stuck?

I'm personally curious to see how deep the replies can go on Lemmy. The app on my phone already crapped out.

I appreciate the take. It's not a great feeling to have "the side" you feel like you are on rail at you for trying to set the record straight.

It feels weird to say this, but I wonder if the "Tankies" from certain instances color Lemmy as a whole. If so, that makes me worried for the future of Lemmy. I really don't want this to be the Far Left version of The_Donald or Truth Social.

Let's back up for a second.

Can you definite what you understand "common sense" to be.

Also, do you think "common sense" varies between cultures?

 

This feels like a true return to form. Hoping for more episodes like this in the coming seasons!
