okay, like, the below, maybe, which is totally outside of everybody's parameters which neatly signposts that no matter what demeaning things "Washington" may have demanded before, this is new and *personal*

problem with this thought is that Zelensky thanked the US on 78 seperate occasions. They wanted to be worshipped as people, not as embodiments of the raison d'état

At least with Blue MAGA you know their betters' names.

Die Linke scored 9% in last year's election and polls at 10% right now, though I would not ascribe that (exclusively) to losing the Wagenknecht set (which failed to cross the threshold)

if by lately you mean "this evening" there were a bunch of complaints about lag during today's session

The 1930s.

Nur, dass die Gutheit des einzelnen Nationalismus dann unter Umständen darüber festgestellt wird, gegen wen die Abwehr stattfindet - bspw. in der häufiger auftretenden Kombi des bösen ukrainischen Nationalismus + der sehr gute palästinensische Nationalismus

God is real and he hates us so Trump will serve out his entire term

what the Senile Grandpa says is highly fungible on a day-to-day basis so the Euros should probably treat Greenland like Taiwan where the question's not so much "who said what when?" but "what would it look like if they were about to try" and go from there
