If you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you’d look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who’s not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.

Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.

Yeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that’s a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.

Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.

I don’t like it either but it’s time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.

Don’t vote “for/against whoever”. Vote against trump like an adult - that means voting democrat.

Sure, picking between two options that you don’t want is legitimately hard for human brains to do. But republicans have promised and begun to brutalize minorities at ever larger scales, and are objectively worse than democrats on everything that matters.

Handing the reins of state power to fascists has never improved life for leftists or humanity.

that affirm your position.

I’m looking for news that affirms reality. Trump’s public record words and actions already left no doubt that he’s molested children. This writer’s credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump’s words, actions, associates attitude.

When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it’s unreasonable to argue that we can’t assume it’s a duck.

Twitter is run by a russian influence actor. Facebook has been hosting russian influence operation content for what a decade now? Fox gleefully pushes that stuff. There’s a host of grifters and alt-right entry-point content online that’s lousy with it.

It’s crazy how much of our media space has been seized by brutal foreign oligarchs. I feel like it wouldn’t have been this easy for them if we hadn’t spent decades letting brutal domestic oligarchs take almost all our media space.

Take Trump out of it for a second

But then it becomes a completely different scenario.

Trump has repeatedly admitted to molesting women, he’s bragged about forcing his way into women’s locker rooms, he joked openly and without judgement of epstein’s love of kids, he has scores of sexual assault allegations, he has enough money and clout to cover up his rapes and he’s been convicted of illegally covering up legal but embarrassing sexual encounters.

Trump has definitely molested children, it is a fact. It’s literally beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You know I almost didn’t post, thinking about that exact point?

But at least two of them are holding weight on them - rightmost of the front pack and leftmost of the mid pack. Also I’m guessing that they’d still need more robust arms than that just for lifting and carrying in high G, right?

It is interesting to see how different acceptable public behavior is now.

I presume that anyone following politics knows that can’t hurt trump, at least.

Ah, I think I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like you were saying that young meant young but still of legal age.

Legal. Probably why they used that term.

I doubt it.

There’s no point mentioning it at all if the topless women were obviously legal, but plenty of reasons to be unclear if they were obviously underage.

Mentioning epstein and “young” women very clearly implies underage, without opening the door to defamation.

Trump has definitely molested children. He’s a serial rapist whose hang-out buddies are some of the world’s most prominent pedophiles.

Even if trump wasn’t specifically asking for children, there’s no way he’s checking IDs before he sexually assaults victims of trafficking.

Since long legs would be impossible

Luckily those long slim arms are completely unaffected by that same gravity.

CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations … servant leaders who have succeeded by bringing people together to win as a team, with integrity, global thinking, and open minds.

Incredible that someone could believe that, say it with a straight face and still not be gullible enough to support trump.

That picture of Riker makes me want a TNG remake in the style of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace with Riker played by Matt Berry.

The soup is a metaphor for bringing back a poet from the dead. Pretty obvious, right?

For some reason Dionysus is being coy about what he wants - I’d guess either for some cultural reasons, or just as a premise to set up some jokes about being hungry and horny.

This is from Aristophanes’ Frogs, written and performed as the plague ravaged citizens of Athens hunkered behind their walls with Spartans terrorizing the Attic countryside.

So to help, Dionysus goes to hell to bring back a good poet to cheer people up. Because imagine trying to get through 2020 without TV.

There’s a great line describing Aeschylus’ sentences as great galumphing things with adjectives hanging off them like monstrous shaggy eyebrows.

Exactly. Trump doesn’t have any policy goals, he couldn’t care about any of that.

Trump’s only wants are his base emotional needs: eat a hamburder, grope an unwilling child, be complimented, see others suffer. Anything more sophisticated than that is being done for someone who’s giving him burders, babes or bribes.

My parents have always referred to each other as their partner, so that’s what I’ve always done. It’s just normal.

Since moving to the US people get so weird about it. I had a boss’s boss ask me why I call my wife my partner in a skip-level. I was so confused I just stared at her and said “What?” It was like being ask why I think oranges are citrus fruit.
