I still don't get the inconsistency that so many people have been held accountable for doing stupid, racist things in the past, but Prince Harry gets a pass for wearing a Nazi costume to a party when he was old enough to know better.

He was 17 and that was almost 20 years ago. Do I think someone that wore a nazi costume while coming from a family with actual nazi ties should be prime minister? No. But there is a middle ground between that and being perma shunned by society.

"we raised everyone's wages" is an easy victory that is very straight forward to explain to the population in how it helped them.

You do realize that if the government was to raise the minimum wage it would save them money as less people would need benefits? Or do you think that the government would be like, subsidizing wages of anyone making below 15 and covering the difference?

lol, they're not there to secure the oil for 'MERICA, oil is just one of the major revenue sources for the various militias/extremists. The troops are the to ensure the piddling amount of oil doesn't serve as a lifeline for IS. Which is not and never was what is meant by "blood for oil". Though there's a lot to question about the overall strategy and endgame, dropping a handful of troops into key areas to shore up the Kurds is a pretty effective tactic.

Doubly so if it means more Russian mercs/unflagged soldiers get iced.

getting rid of the filibuster is dumb if dems aren't going to pass any legislation that would require the filibuster being gone in the first place.

When you think about it, a greater proportion of Europe’s population is white than America’s, so screwing them out of vaccines was the least racist thing ‘someone’ has ever done.

The so‐called America First policy has been racist since its inception, long before the pandemic, and it is disastrous for America’s interests in the long term, but the alternatives in this case never involved the third world getting a fair share of vaccines.

yeah but europe is full of liberals

Elon Musk isn't going to help end child hunger or make earth sustainable, or any of that other bullshit, otherwise he'd be doing that instead of loving around with SpaceX, but it is at least feasible the poo poo SpaceX is doing, failures and all, may actually help push advancement in various tech that may help with the aforementioned problems.

No its unironically the owners fault for putting the dog in an unfamiliar, loud place with a lot of new people walking around. And then keeping him there after the first time he bit someone.
