I was going to make some snarky comment, but I was completely distracted by the guy in the brick-patterned suit and matching tie. WTF? Maybe he was going for some kind of wall reference? Where did he even get that abomination?

Our country is full of idiots.

erp ,

For me it was the guy in slide one with the lil' sebastian pony tail. Brick man is just the washed up kool-aid man after the royalties ran out and the brain damage kicked it from repeated head trauma (plus diabeetus). Ohh nooo!

What a waste of his time. Detroit isn't going to vote Trump in any meaningful way. The best he can hope for is voter apathy and not say something racist whiles he's there

snow_bunny ,

This was his strategy in 2016.

But it's not just Detroit that matters in this case since the presidential election hinges on total for the state, not individual voting districts. So sure, he's not going to win the district but that doesn't affect the race. So since Detroit is the largest city, it's still the place to convert more people at once. And he doesn't need to convert them to vote for him. He just needs to convince them not to cast a desperation vote against him.

I'm more concerned with the chain of well suited men that makes russsian oil reach the west market

naturalgasbad , to World News in Philippines files UN claim to extended continental shelf in South China Sea

Lmao the Philippines is really out here pissing off all of its neighbours

Duterte's domestic policy was fucked up, but at least he had sensible foreign policy

maynarkh ,

Isn't this just a response to China's claims? So that they can later compromise to go back to the current status quo and everyone can fuck off peacefully from claiming the entire sea?

scytale ,

His foreign policy was just as bad. It was also recently revealed he made secret backdoor deals with China and sold out his own country for who knows what in exchange for allowing China to enroach territory in the disputed territory of the West Philippine Sea / South China Sea.

naturalgasbad ,

That's what the West thinks about Duterte?

Damn. Y'all are so far off base it's absurd. Talk to a Filipino one of these days.

scytale , (edited )

Lmao I am one. Are you? Or did you just “talk to a Filipino”? Or are you a Filipino Duterte supporter?

wurzelgummidge ,

Foreign policy now is just do and say what America tells them to and pocket the cash ... in offshore bank accounts, of course

Snowclone , to News in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

Really sounds like the CIA is a thing we don't need.

Shyfer ,

It seems like if you'd take it's net impact throughout world history and it added it all up, you'd end up in the negatives. Like it's been actively more bad for the human race than good.

Censored ,

Who needs the CIA when the Pentagon is doing their work so well?

Reptorian , to Ukraine in Russians told to mobilize to inflict 'maximum harm' on West in response to sanctions

Russia is butthurt? For starters, they should leave Ukraine. And sanctions will stay until they choose otherwise. It's on Russians to decide what to do with their country.

@Reptorian @Burstar Hmm, you'd think it would dawn on somebody (hint) that "maybe' it is a bad idea to try to go take somebody else's country away from them "because" somewhere in the history books it "used to" belong to Russia was a bad idea?🤔 Asking for several million Ukrainians.

NuclearDolphin , to United States | News & Politics in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

The Pentagon ran a program intended to kill untold number of innocent civilians just to hurt China and all lemmyoids can do is bicker about the effectiveness of Chinese vaccines.

The CIA thanks you for your service

7oo7 , to US Authoritarianism in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

Holy shit, this is incredibly insidious. They risked killing people for some geo-political gains and you're supposed to trust them?

masquenox ,

Holy shit, this is incredibly insidious.

You do know this has been bog-standard US behavior since at least the 50s, right?

doingthestuff , to US Authoritarianism in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

This is why we need to defund and eliminate all of our agencies and start all over. Anyone at the top can't be rehired in any capacity. This is why people are ready to reelect Trump. To say our government is corrupt and completely fucked up is a massive understatement.

werefreeatlast , to World News in The Dutchman who gets Nike and Lego into wartime Russia’s stores

This is great. I hope more overpriced shit gets to be sold there.

Censored , to News in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

Fuck Trump.

ChicoSuave , to News in Trump to visit Detroit church as part of Black voter push

Trump's black voter push sounds he committed assault.

@BertramDitore@lemmy.world avatar

This makes me sick. Or rather, them sick. Or, whatever, this was a totally fucked up and inexcusable thing to do.

wurzelgummidge ,

Imagine all the bullshit the US spreads about countries who are NOT supposedly their friends.

curiousaur , to World News in Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

So does that mean the stuff I read about it being ineffective was false?

WatDabney , to World News in Kremlin calls NATO chief's nuclear weapons remark an 'escalation of tension'

Even "the pot calling the kettle black" isn't enough to sum this up.

It's more like "the pot calling the salad bowl a pot."
