Conspiracy theory: Maintaining ongoing execution expertise for The RevolutionTM is the real reason the West keeps funding all those third world dictators.

I wonder how this compares to past presidents at this point in their terms.

I mean yeah, but they’d usually not pay even a small fine (or pay for legal proceedings), so it’s a lot more efficient to use conveniently placed loopholes.

Then they might get in trouble for false advertising.

I don’t think that’s realistic if the sanctions on them are even remotely worth their salt. Do you have a source for that?

What does that have to do with anything? There’s still no way for Iran to profit from Trump’s chaos.

What? Iran isn’t profiting off anything. They’re hoping they can undo their pariah state status, and they might even be able to do it, but so far they haven’t actually gained anything.

Maybe they’re channeling their inner Romans and just keep building more fleets?

Uh… that has nothing to do with what I asked? Is there context that challenges the framing of the article? Because the article treats the bill not getting out of committee as adding insult to injury rather than a boring event.

Basically, it didn’t get a hearing to get out of committee.

I have absolutely zero faith that Obama would do anything to meaningfully help Mamdani, but let’s watch and see I guess.

Every accusation is a confession.

Deliberately ignoring the elephant in the room, isn’t that a lot of protein (and especially meat) for a breakfast?

Okay this is a cope. It’s an All Lives Matter-style fig leaf that pretends people can’t condemn two things at once.

Why disappointment? Jeffries is an American capital plant; this is very consistent with his track record.

I meant non-bitcoin crypto. I’m not 100% clear on this, but AFAIK there are less energy-intensive coins.

The politics of the thing aside, couldn’t they have found a currency that doesn’t burn fucktons of energy?

We need to clean house to show the world we’re done being the evil empire.

Except the US is clearly not done being the evil empire. On either side of the aisle.

$2 billion isn’t how much it costs to bring them back; it’s how much it costs to bring them back without making any concessions to Iran. There was always the option where they’re brought back through negotiations with Iran, which would’ve cost far less than $2 billion.
