Cue republicans immediately trying to shift the discussion to how inappropriate it is to do literally anything at all relating to Donald Trump’s many indictments while the election is this close at hand, because as the republican candidate for president he should be above the law. You know, in the name of fairness.

“They have two of the things? Why would you need two?”

I’m not disagreeing with you: both wars are/were unjustified. I’m speaking more to the difference in intent that’s on display. Nobody in the US ever intended to drive all the Iraqi people out, move white Americans in and make it the 51st state. That kind of ethnic cleansing is clearly Israel’s intent with Gaza, and seemingly with Lebanon.

All the same, I would think there was less a feeling of “we/they are over there to expand our territory and drive the residents out with unbearable bloodshed.”

I was a teenager and not following the news when the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Did it feel this shitty?

This is what “sanewashing” refers to, if anyone was unclear on that.

Plus, no summer day is brighter than a clear winter day with snow on the ground.

The fuck you talking about?

I watched this clip (the token liberal Jessica Tarlov schooled the rest of them) and he was pretty clearly joking. Fuck Jesse Watters, but this ain’t it.

Imagine, in the year of our lord 2024, not recognizing the noble whale shark as the peak of sharkitude.

Does anyone else think hammerhead sharks have been… maybe a little too quiet?

I’m wondering, now… Does Gimli say the word “Legolas” even once in the movies?

Seems like we’ve reached the point where most voters realize that virtually all government shutdowns have been the Republicans’ fault.

You’re confusing neutrality with objectivity.

Edit: Neutral (adjective): not helping or supporting either side in a conflict, disagreement, etc.

Are you a big enough baby to downvote because you don’t like what words mean? Neutrality and correctness are two different things. Objectivity does factor in what the facts are, neutrality doesn’t.

Seems like a problem springing from the press’s bias towards neutrality, or how sometimes a politician is objectively wrong but the press treats them with kid gloves for fear of being accused of unfairness.

They can’t print Trump’s entire 3 minute rant, and they’re scared to characterize it as meandering or incoherent, even if that’s the best description. So, they print a single line from his rant and provide their own context.

No matter what he says, I’m still voting for her.

With how he is, it’s more likely one of the animators slipped it in there and he didn’t notice. You can bet nickelodeon definitely didn’t notice.

“We will adhere to US law.”

That’s all she needed to say.

I was gonna say checking reflexes is a neurology thing, before I realized that was the joke.

No. Stop. Don’t.
