The short term sucks, but in the long term it is much much better.

Do you mean by the short term sucks that

• immigrants and US citizens are being murdered and tortured
• children are being trafficked without consequences
• we’re going to war
• people are losing jobs fast and a great recession or depression is nigh
• trump and his posse are stealing so much money and breaking so many laws that no one can keep track
• he demolished a portion of our icon of america and wrecked the reflecting pool while trying to set up an emperor’s arch and ballroom that cost close to a billion dollars
• he’s removing tons of people from medicare and medicaid that will kill people if it already hasn’t
• he removed a lot of our environmental protections and is selling off our public lands to the highest bidder
• he removed our health protections and now we’re seeing a massive push for pro plague diseases
• he’s destroying some of our national cultural and historic monuments because he’s racist af
• etc., etc.,

To me, you’re saying an insane comment. This isn’t just a matter of sucking a little, people are dying, being tortured and are broke.

Canada understanding the nuances, we appreciate you Canada.

You were implying it, so I wanted to clarify.

Just so we’re clear, China is not a utopia, lol.

That’s why you have both, having backups is part of being secure.

What happens if your bank is hacked and it says that you have $1 instead of 10k in the bank? Do you have a paper backup at all? How about your mortgage or car loan?

I’m not saying we’re competing, I’m saying we don’t want to compete for the bottom and be like russia. They’re really hurting right now.

The entire world will have to rebuild. Not sure why everyone wants the US to be as bad as Russia.

Didn’t Lindsey Graham go to Russia for the 4th last year? Politico is kind of saying that Lindsay died not soon after a bill was agreed upon to put sanctions on Russia. I guess put it on the pile.

Edit: I thought Lindsey was part of that group, but it was 7 other republican senators and a republican house member in 2018 :

• Sen. Richard Shelby (Alabama)
• Sen. Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)
• Sen. John Thune (South Dakota)
• Sen. John Kennedy (Louisiana)
• Sen. Jerry Moran (Kansas)
• Sen. John Hoeven (North Dakota)
• Sen. Steve Daines (Montana)
• Rep. Kay Granger (Texas)

I wonder if he’ll be drafted

Within weeks of arriving, Leo says they were defrauded of 5 million roubles – about £52,000 ($66,000) – by a contact they trusted, leaving them homeless.

Although he is committed to staying in Russia out of a sense of “destiny”, he now says he misses the freedoms that have shaped the American personality.

“[In] Russia you don’t have these human rights values.”

My rocks, thrown.

My worm, eaten.

“If they allowed it last year and originally for this tournament then I find the security argument a bit hard to believe,” Evain said. “It shows water is unfortunately still seen as a commodity but it’s not, it’s a matter of health. We don’t know how expensive a bottle of water will be inside the stadium because no prices have been published.

“Fifa explained previously that part of their response to the heat risk was the water bottles. So what does it mean now to take it away, and what mitigation measures are they taking? It’s already a very expensive World Cup. People will look for alternatives or just not drink water when they should.”

Of the kid being stabbed?

Watch this case, these are far-right protesters claiming:

Far-right figures have seized on the case and firebrand Tommy Robinson spoke at a rally in the southern city of Southampton where the murder took place, claiming police treat white British people as “second-rate citizens”.

This is not what you think. Do we have proof that he was falsely accused? I don’t know about his case.:

I get why you’re asking for that, but I can’t give you one particular instance. I’ll try to explain it.

If it’s in trump’s favor, they’ll say a confident fake or real. If it’s not in his favor, they’ll say that it’s mostly true or false. I have read them and checked them from reading about the topics for years, and then I’ll read their version. You can not trust me on this, but see for yourself.

Edit: This is a really good example. Read the wording and the slant. What is the verdict?

Terms like “found guilty” and “convicted” are reserved for criminal cases. This case, which centered on defamation, was a civil proceeding to decide the outcome of a lawsuit against Trump filed by Carroll. These cases do not determine guilt, but do determine “liability” for certain actions. Civil cases do not impose jail time or other criminal penalties, and as such require a different standard of proof:

Because Trump was not convicted of a crime, it is not accurate to say that he is “a convicted sexual abuser.” Instead, it is accurate to say that a jury unanimously decided that it was more likely than not true that Trump sexually abused and forcibly touched Carroll, and as such, her defamation claim was valid.

Snopes is unreliable, FYI. They have a hard on for trump.
