It’s one of the reasons lethal injection executions get botched. The people doing them rarely have any medical training, sometimes they can’t even find a vein properly.

From what I read online though it’s possible to tell if you fire a gun with a normal bullet vs a blank. Especially if you’ve fired a gun before, which I assume most of the people doing the execution have.

“Disgraced financier”. Just call him dead pedophile.

Grok: nuke it

Now see, that’s how you replace an unpopular government. Take notes America.

Yep. Every country with a US military base has these kind of stories.

They won’t. Prices are even higher in Europe. Diesel is like 11 dollars a gallon in my town.

So if he cuts US exports to the rest of the world, what stops the rest of the world also cutting exports to the US? Does the US have the capacity to be self sufficient in this? Because Donnie seems to think that the relationship works one way.

What I see happening is that everyone else also stops exports of crude and diesel to the US and the situation only gets worse.

Hahahahaha

Why would Europe do anything to help this regime that has mocked them, made aggressive threats against their sovereignty and is funding far right movements in local elections. FAFO as the Americans like to say.

Send them a sampling basket first. One of those advanced jets, maybe a fancy missile or two.

Funny enough in the last election they only “won” by 49.82%.

Russia is intensifying its attacks on Europe. Drones at airports and other infrastructure are becoming more and more common. If Ukraine continues to push at their current rate Putin may get desperate to save face and he may try to make it so it doesn’t look like he was defeated by Ukraine. He would provoke a NATO response so he could tell Russians that he was right and NATO was always against them.

Culture is full of ways to resist and subvert authority. Writing and music can inspire, motivate and mobilize people in huge numbers. Even graffiti and street art can just spread ideas with minimal effort. It can raise money and fund resistance.

It’s why a lot of authoritarian governments try so hard to stamp on culture. They know it’s power and they fear it.

There is literally nothing Trump can do to stop Ukraine at this point. Since they refused to give them supplies Ukraine has had to build their own stuff and rely on other means to fight, at this point they don’t really need anything from the USA to fight so they are free to do so.

Iran is 2 for 2

The Houthis and Iran are trying to achieve more this weekend than the entire RNC. Which is not that hard per se, but it’s pretty funny.

Imagine losing access to another strait that’s critical to world Trade in the same year you lost the first one.

He’s a special envoy for peace. What qualifies him for that still alludes me (being married to the president’s daughter aside).

Also I found it funny that one of the special envoy positions is named: Special Presidential Envoy for American Tourism, Exceptionalism, and Values

A Trump official visited the Romanian authorities and the next day the Tates travel restrictions were lifted.

The Military Industrial Complex is a giant scam that funnels American taxpayer’s money to corporations and their billionaire owners. This video explains it in way more detail: https://youtu.be/T9IV09cvXx4
