    To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction.

    But have they? His insistence at this point is that he doesn’t have to do anything, or change anything, science will “solve the issue”. Nothing better than someone who thinks any mess they make can be cleaned up by someone else so why bother trying to make any changes that makes your life slightly less convenient?

    He added: ‘I won’t drive a Tesla. I’ve got probably 10 cars, all with V8 engines. I don’t think electric cars solve anything. Science is going to be needed here, not politics. Science will solve it eventually. Always does.’

  • The fact you phrase it as though that’s an actual question is terrifying. You’re comparing someone who wants to LITERALLY be a dictator and never have an election again, to someone who isn’t willing to fully embrace every last left-wing policy you demand.

    The “ruling class” didn’t dictate Bernie not getting the Democratic nomination, people voting in primaries did. Do you know which group of people overwhelmingly don’t vote in primaries? The same 20-somethings bitching about Biden being the “only other option”. Get the fuck out of here with your “demonstrating to the ruling class” - you had your opportunity to show up and overwhelm the primaries and chose not to. The “ruling class” don’t have the numbers to determine a primary, and if you choose to watch their commercials and buy into it, that’s on you. But hey, if a bunch of people think like you’ll they’ll find out what actually living in a dictatorship is like. And no, Canada isn’t just going to welcome you with open arms when the world starts burning down around you so I hope you’ve got an exit strategy.


  • Fun fact: Biden has already pardoned thousands of people with marijuana convictions. Asking him to pardon EVERYONE when they may have had marijuana as a minor add-on to other criminal charges is a bit silly of an ask.

    Biden doesn’t run the DEA and can’t force them to reschedule the drug. This is almost as dumb as the conservatives saying Biden needs to do something about border security then not being upset the Republicans have voted against every effort to do something about border security before it makes it to Biden’s desk.

    *the number of people in this country who think the President is a dictator and can literally just make up laws on his own is terrifying.




  • Because the internet can’t handle shades of gray? Perhaps there’s more to her than “she’s a liberal” or “she’s a conservative”? Hive mind will be the end of society - if someone doesn’t agree with the party line on EVERY point, they’re suddenly an extremist.

    Perhaps, PERHAPS there are people who are otherwise liberal that have some pretty strong feelings about the trans movement? Outside of the trans thing, Rowling is pretty liberal by the classic definition of the term based on everything I’ve seen. But because she’s taken a stance here she’s put in the same sentence as Musk and Rogan. I have a tough time taking anyone seriously that tries to make that comparison. Musk is literally defending fascists and Rogan regularly has Alex Jones on his show. She’s not even on the same continent as those two.

    Because yes, she literally made Dumbledore gay, which both Joe Rogan and Elon Musk would tell you makes her a woke libtard… but they’re the same!!!1111





  • If shes so concerned about people turning on Biden, maybe she needs to head to the oval office and tell him to stop fucking funding and equiping a goddamn genocide.

    Or, maybe, it’s more complicated than that. MAYBE supporting Israel in the middle-east helps keep some semblance of stability in a region that would otherwise be constantly at war, with Iran in particular doing their best to take over all of their neighbors. That’s ignoring the fact that unless you’re advocating us going to war WITH Israel - the second we pull all funding we also lose all leverage we have with them, and I would expect an almost immediate expansion into all Palestinian territory overnight given their current leadership.

    Is the situation fucked? Yes. Is it going to be fixed by pulling funding? Absolutely not.





  • All part of the attempt to sway the next election. Gives Cucker Tarlson an interview where he (Putin) proceeds to paint all of his actions as a poor humble Russian leader just trying to protect his own people from the big bad Ukranians. Then follows it up with an offer to negotiate peace, which shockingly the evil dictator Biden refuses to do. If only we had someone like the Cheeto Benito who’s interested in peace leading the US, everything would be so much better for everyone! Queue troll farm spamming Twitter
