State law. Rrump can't pardon it away.

Smoking is interesting. Most of the direct harm from smoking comes from the radioactive lead and polonium that the tobacco absorbs from the soil.

Not that other parts of inhaling burning hot smoke aren't damaging, but the worst of it are those radioisotopes.

I don't know how much of that shit is deposited vs exhaled, and would need to see studies on it. But there's a laundry list of other harmful shit in cigarette smoke.

Yes, imagine if the coup attempt was real.

As a hint. It wasn't. Especially not the helicopter ride. That part was so staged it's comical.

Except that the coup was very real. Turned a democracy into a dictatorship with one scripted helicopter ride.

Vance the couch fucker.

There was a claim that, in the first draft of his book, Vance recounted a teenage sexual encounter with a couch. In great detail.

This claim came with an image of the text, which is easily found if you want that sort of thing.

The truthfulness of the claim has been questioned, but Vance just seems like the kind of guy who would fuck a couch.

Do people in glass houses shit in the woods?

Hamas was always a "tame" terrorist force.

Or put another way, the only reason why Hamas existed in the first place is because Israel picked them specifically to be the face of Palestinian resistance in Gaza, and constantly paid them millions to keep them in power, while at the same time, brutally crushed any other groups who might have pushed for Palestinian rights.

There were a bunch of news articles shortly after Oct 7th talking about how Netanyahu's "cash to Hamas" bribery for peace deal had blown up in his face, and no. It did not.

This has been the plan for decades. All Israel needed was an excuse and a somewhat friendly president who could ignore the US' previous policy of paying lip service to a two-state solution.

I don't know how it could be boring when the payoff to such a run is this song. Even so, that path is fucking dark.

I would love a storyline where Luther claims to be Ceaser, but is shown to be more akin to Nero.

Superman of the comics (from about the mid-80s onward) would tell the military, politely, to go find a location to fornicate with themselves.

Also the animated Superman. He took would tell them to go fuck themselves. Neither one would actually curse.

That being said, both incarnations would put the fire out, if only to prevent environmental damage.

Possibly by dropping a large block of ice on the building.

I've heard Ireland is good. No idea of how true that is, but they do speak English, if reluctantly.

That said, the actual Irish language is rather melodic, and learning it is a fun project.

Technically the Nazis lost that election, but the Conservatives who won turned around and handed power to Hitler, all to prevent the Left from gaining power.

The US institute of Pease doesn't have "Unchecked power" they have basically no power. They report to congress, and that's all. Report. They write a bunch of them.

The USIP also trains diplomats in conflict resolution and de-escalation.

The thing is, they had been working in, and with, Ukraine to provide congress with accurate reports on Russia's invasion. This accurately paints Putin as committing a bunch of war crimes, and being an aggressor who will violate every cease fire until he either wins or is driven out of the country completely, in which case he will regroup, rearm, and likely attack again.

As long as Putin is in power, Europe isn't safe. Especially now that Putin has a puppet in charge of the US.

And that's why that puppet ordered the illegal break-in.
