So true. In many aspects

"The King can do no wrong" bit also lays up really nicely with "The President must have absolute immunity". It's an insightful commentary all around.

Guess the asshole part of that depends on whether you're a Kuwaiti or Republican Guard..

G. W.'s round 2 (electric boogaloo) version was an entirely different exercise in absurdity. Bush 41's war was not really comparable.

I think you mean Bumbersnitch Cabbagewank? Have some consideration for people's dignity please.

Pfft, probably wouldn't recognize a carebear stare if it hit ya in the face.

Amateurs.

Yeah, unless they can buy a car for 15k. Principled boycotts of blood diamonds and child labor cocoa are more likely than someone making working wages willingly paying a 40% premium for a legacy GM shitcan.

Not that BYD is going to be selling a model 3 competitor at that price, but no one is selling a new Camry near that either. The 1st Gen civic was a basket case too, now it's a spaceship and that's without government-led IP raids...

For even younger members, The Twilight Zone was The Black Mirror, before netflix was a thing.

After that, 紙に神の髪を描く (Kami ni kami no kami o kaku)

I wish Japanese had 1.5–2x the number of sounds it has presently.. Without Kanji it's unreadable, but since the advent of English gairaigo, it's rapidly becoming a weird weird English language anyway...

Better call her then.

I mean, it's right on the sign.

Remember the time Kant's categorical imperative massed hundreds of thousands of troops for a "training exercise" along the border of a sovereign neighbor state, loudly protesting concerns it was preparing for a ground invasion?

Then when it did invade that neighbor, on the most cynically pretextual grounds imaginable, and began a wholesale slaughter of innocent men, women, and children?

Remember when Kant did that?

Nobody else does either, but it will be a generational memory for Russia to live down now. Hope the good governor gets cancer of the anus talking that kind of shit.

Trade you for an 80 years gaff machine or an almost 80 year old criminal game show host wannabe Hitler? Two for any one of your neo-liberals, but you have to take both..
