Trump nor his supporters are smart enough to end Democracy, thankfully.

If he runs for a third term Republicans will nominate him for it.

If Biden didn't run for reelection, it would have been a blue wave.

For some reason the EU is helping Iran.

Evil regime

Romans 12:20 springs to mind here.

Or just human decency, something lfromnj apparently lacks.

You become effectively whatever you deem evil by such attitude.

It's pretty much clear that most Atlas users would be awful diplomats.

There’s A diplomatic argument but lol at the idea that Raisi deserves anything but pain

I haven't said that Raisi doesn't deserve anything but pain. I'm not in denial about that. But if we act this way, there will be at a certain point many people to actively wish pain and death for, because you know a lot of people have a certain evilness around them and few things generally are very black-and-white. And in the process of doing so, we become whatever we fight or fear anyways ourselves. Pretty sure for instance some users on this forum already do the same on ME

And I believe in the diplomatic argument, yes.

Most likely, since he'll be even more unhinged and insane than before. Probably after the Democrats have retaken the House in 2026.

if its a free and fair election.

Dane county pulling above our weight (per usual ).

Dane County really deserves an MVP award from Dems.

Super blue considering its demographics, high turnout even in midterms and other off elections, and cycle after cycle seems to net Dems more votes thanks to solid growth. Main reason why Dems continue to stay viable in WI.

Byelection for Toronto-St Paul's called.

Conventional wisdom is that "St Paul's" is a byword for "safe Liberal", up there with "Quadra" and whatever else--and at the party's '11 nadir, Carolyn Bennett prevailed at 40.6% w/an 8-point margin.  I wonder what the opposition dynamic will be, though--the Cons, of course, benefit from national polling; however, the NDP in '21 improved on '19 *despite* their candidate suspending her campaign due to anti-Semitic tweets, while Jill Andrew's been a capable ONDP two-termer in a seat she wasn't "supposed" to win in the first place.  So we might either have an interesting duel for 2nd place, or (byelections being byelections, and NDP performance in them being what it is) a strategically galvanized Lib front in the name of stopping-the-Cons...

Iran isn't much better.

There shouldn't be a partisan narrative. The problem is that the lab claim was made prior to the emergence of evidence. Asking questions is one thing, but you don't get points for guessing sh!t. It's also pretty tacky to be using this pandemic to score political points. I have my share of complaints on how it was handled but I'm generally going to lean on what the current scientific consensus says more than some troll on 8chan or XXX or Trump's own stupid advice he gave during the pandemic to take hydroxychloroquine. Also, Trump could have fired Fauci at any time. He opted not to. But the bottom line is misinformation is a pandemic in itself.

It's a good thing they're suspending the funding.

It IS a partisan narrative, and it will REMAIN a partisan narrative solely because of the degree to which the Democrats sought to censor this talk on social media platforms as "disinformation" and "Xenophobia".  You can't put that genie back in the bottle until the Democrats who did this admit they were wrong to attempt to censor the Free Speech of others, as well as peddling Wet Market Fairy Tales.

The apology should be for attempting to stifle the speech of the American people whose views on COVID-19 they did not agree with. 

The xenophobia claim would hold a lot more weight if anti-Asian racism and hate crimes didn't spike at the time - which they did. People are stupid and incapable of separating people from the governments of their or their ancestors' nation of origin. Or even doing racism "right" because non-Chinese Asians were attacked as well.

Let’s not pretend that our higher education sector serves any purpose beyond, in the main, providing employment and propping up regional economies. Everyone knows that the ‘graduate scheme’ in particular is an indefensible rort on purely scholastic grounds, hence yelping about economic benefits is always the first line of defence deployed by the higher education nabobs (most of whose vastly financially overstretched institutions would not be viable prospects without these students).
