Personally I think that America should make itself into a friend to democracy everywhere

Yes even when that means getting a government that's less friendly to us personally than the dictators we're currently propping up

An old painting of a woman in bed, presumably from tuberculosis/consumption.

The image-macro/meme text over it says "The only ethical consumption under capitalism is tuberculosis"

A screenshot of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, with Luke defiantly standing against the Emperor. The 90s-style captions read:
"You've failed, your highness. I'm forklift certified, like my father before me."

because like, everything about Platner, the ME-2 polling, and the fact about Maine having a referendum to ban trans kids from sports and a bathroom ban is just such a 'jesus fucking christ' bit.

have we just considered that Maine has incredibly cursed politics because it is the home of Lovecraft and Stephen King

especially considering that ME-2 polling that showed Paul LePage with a slight lead from what I recall

The real solution to the trolley problem is to set the limit, and exceed it - to trace the conceptual level and replicate every flaw without fail. To push past everything, and then eight steps further.

[image then shows the 'trace on' aspect that Shirou does in the Fate/Stay Night visual novel]

Yeah... even if it's ridiculous, even if it's impossible. The only thing these circuits were ever meant to do was stop that trolley!

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.

Although Marcy opposed the possible dismemberment of China by any power, Dr. Peter Parker, U.S. commissioner to China, suggested American occupation of Formosa. The proposal came near the end of Marcy's tenure as secretary of state, and he never replied. Annexation of Formosa was also one of the objectives of Commodore Matthew C.
Perry, whose expedition to open Japan to the United States and the West began under the Millard Fillmore administration. Perry's expedition demonstrated the important role naval commanders played in furthering the cause of American imperialism. Although his mission was clearly diplomatic, as a naval commander he was solely accountable to the secretary of the navy, not the secretary of state. Perry was the embodiment of a military man whose strong nationalism led him to favor aggressive annexation and colonization of Pacific islands. He believed that U.S. commerce and the need for future coaling stations required control of a chain of islands: Okinawa, Formosa, and the Bonins-along with colonization by Americans, which would inevitably lead to annexation. Perry also suggested that Washington extend its
"national friendship and protection" to Siam, Cambodia, and Cochin China, as well as to parts of Borneo and Sumatra. To Perry such views were a matter of national pride, economic necessity, and racist belief. 13
