You could of also just have said non-right echo chamber. Regardless, I surely hope so.

Det kan være, det bare er mig, men når verdens rigeste mand har intentioner om at købe demokratiske valg, virker hyklerivinklen godt nok noget påtaget.

Det er en fin anbefaling. Men det er ikke min liste, så jeg kan ikke sætte brugeren på.

Det er ikke min egen liste.

Du skal bare trykke på "subscribe". Hvis du vælger "mute", så gør det at du ikke ser deres posts. Hvis du vælger "block", så sker det samme, men de kan heller ikke se hvad du skriver. De kan heller ikke citere dig. Det er her du minimere deres indflydelse bedst.

There was a bit of nuance here, which unfortunately will get misconstrued by both sides. But you shouldn't understand "provocation" as a "legitimate justification".

Further, a point which wasn't mentioned: if Rus feels NATO failed to uphold promises, their gripe is with NATO, not Ukraine.

Engaging in verbal battles with my combative and relentlessly argumentative father.

It probably wasn’t the healthiest lesson, but it likely sharpened my ability to spot any weaknesses in my writing.

RIP, old man.

Don't worry, we'll know nothing soon enough.

In the meantime, just be happy someone is fucking with Trump

It says something about a political philosophy that it can be entirely summed up in a comment on a blog.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Yeah. A wholelotta dudes. Would be nice if it didn't end up yet another repressive regime.

This might just be the best thing since someone decided that sliced bread should be the benchmark for greatness!

That said, I agree that Biden is wrong here—unless we implausibly assume he had a more universalizable justification. And if he does, it is entirely *unfair* not to pardon everyone else who fall under the same considerations as his son.

If a justice system were perfect - or hey, even somewhat fair - I’d agree. However, without the power to pardon, over a thousand people released under Obama’s clemency initiative would still be imprisoned, some serving life sentences, for non-violent drug offenses.

I don't get it. Or, I feel the joke evaporates if you think about it just s little bit.
