A rather agitated one, though

Ok, I see now that you have no interest in arguing in good faith, so I’m gonna leave you to it rather than wasting any more time on your absolutist credulity. Have the day you deserve.

See? I agree. Landmines should not be used indiscriminately

That’s like saying that guns shouldn’t be used violently 🙄

The nature of landmines is that of an indiscriminate and long lasting danger. Do you really think that, once the war is one and it’s time for civilians to move back to the areas that war has displaced them from, Ukraine is going to dig them all up again?

Because if you do, I have an explosion-proof bridge to Crimea to sell you.

Glad to see we’re all on the same page of not demanding that victims meekly submit to genocide in the name of some nebulous and ill-defined moral high ground.

Holy false dichotomy, Batman! Not meekly submitting ≠ doing the same things that you rightly deplore your enemy for doing.

This is some “Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were all great” type nonsense.

Ukraine has already pledged to not use them in civilian areas

Oh they promised, did they? What a relief!

It’s not like politicians and diplomats who know that they’ll retain the support of the richest countries in the world no matter what would ever break a promise that they made in order to get something that they want!

Just like how Israel has always told the truth to American politicians!

Yes. “Indiscriminately” being the operative word.

Russians butchering civilians doesn’t make it ok for Ukraine to emulate them.

No. Got the order wrong. People are working to ban them because they’re atrocious. They’re not atrocious because people are working to ban them. Don’t pretend to be even more obtuse than you already are.

They’re atrocious because they can make areas dangerous for anyone to traverse for years if not decades, blowing the limbs off of innocent civilians or making large swaths of land uninhabitable and unavailable to farm without risking death and dismemberment.

Yes they are. That’s why 164 countries have signed onto a treaty to ban their use.

With the Hindu-nationalist Modi government in charge? Fat chance!

Textbook whataboutism. Are you aware that two wrongs do NOT in fact make a right? And that crimes against humanity don’t cease to be criminal atrocities because someone did them to you first?

In other words: are you ignorant, a hypocrite, or an ignorant hypocrite when it comes to the victims of war crimes committing war crimes?

Nutrition facts should just be “No.”

No, he wants to pretend to make meds cheaper in order to court fascists that can’t afford meds but otherwise are on board with his bigoted demagoguery.

Difference is that Bernie is going after it as a consolation prize since neither major party want to do either of the things you so rightfully advocate for, while DeSantis only wants to pretend in order to not lose the votes of people who can’t afford medicine.

Alternative proposal: replace the offices of all Republicans with gender neutral bathrooms.

pizza Marinara doesn’t have cheese at all and originally didn’t even have tomato sauce

So…bread?

Hasn’t for a decade or more. Hell, for the last several years that he DID, he didn’t practice or research, he designed medical devices.

Nougat is a regional manager for Subway now.

Bart wider? Bort visor? Something like that 🤷😉

Nah, that was the trip before.

As far as smuggling drugs go, I’m as prolific as I’m incompetent!

Yeah, the TSA took my entire gallon of LSD!

What do you MEAN that’s a ridiculously excessive amount even outside of an airport context? LSD is the one they chug in the commercials, right? The one with the frog?

between having the criminal case go forward as normal justice and protecting the office of the president. letting the rich and powerful be above the law

Fixed that for them. Any system where letting anyone get away with everything up to and including treason to “protect the office” is even an option is rotten to the fucking core 🤬

If you want to protect the office, keep the traitorous fascist out of it! That’s how you protect the fucking office!

Would be a significant improvement tbh… Can we just sentence Trump to rehabilitation now?
