Hungary is a signatory to the Rome Statute and would legally have to arrest Putin if he set foot there…
But watch as they do nothing.
Too bad women leaders are too emotional to be a true leader and we are left with, whatever this is. Its certainly not leadership.
Translation: Trump picked it.
Wow, so Idiocracy then.
Trolls have taken over the White House.. time to stop feeding them.
They have, but you can't expect journalists to not ask the administration questions. It is literally their job.
There are tons of people in the white house they could call on or off the record. There is no reason to listen to Leavitts propaganda report on the regular. I am surprised they cover her as much as they do, I literally tune her out now because I know everything she says is a lie. Steven Miller is a ghoul, but even he is more honest about what they are doing... whether on purpose or Freudian slips...
It's their job to get the shitty things they say on the record. That is important, too. I know it doesn't make anyone feel good but it still has to be done.
Reuters will be there, just get it from them if you need it.
What is it that makes 40 year old people think it's totally okay to behave like an 8 year old?
I mean… Leavitt is 28… Hate makes you age like a smoker.
I'm a 45 year old smoker who regularly gets told that I look 25 by 20 somethings. Hate ages you faster than smoking.
It’s insane that someone around my age is in that position and acts like this in a professional setting.
Fascism
This is your brain on fascism.
Well, not adult 40-year-old people...
Was that supposed to be a reply to my comment? /S
Your mom..‽ I think
So glad the most armed nation is history is run by such mature level headed adults.
Seriously, why does everything feel like fucking dumbass highschool bullies are running things? Was that Bowling for Soup song right??
It feels like it, sadly because it’s true.
It is sad, and the people who made it happen are hiding. No more maga flags on trucks, don't see the hats around. They know what they did
Edit: my statement is obviously anecdotal and I am speaking for what I see daily. Experience may vary
Why do I see comments like this all over Lemmy? Do people like you ever go outside?
I’ve been traveling all over the south the last couple months, the MAGA folks are louder and prouder than ever.
As a European, the U.S. is huge, is it really inconceivable that some people regret their choices and have left MAGA behind? That's a good thing ultimately, no?
Also even if it's not regret the social stigma may be enough to cow some of them back down.
I haven't seen a trump flag, shirt or hat in like 6 months. Still see the bumper stickers occasionally.
It beats me what they're proud of exactly. Are they all variations on Dean Cain ?
Walking less than a mile around my neighborhood in a purple state proves you wrong many times over. There's at least 30 some households and vehicles with Trump or otherwise conservative paraphernalia scattered about that we see in our immediate area. Three of these houses are on my block.
They just keep remaining the classiest, mature adults in positions of power over others.
They picked her because of her Christianities.
13 Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14 But He answered him "Your Mom", so that the governor marveled greatly.
15 And ye, the onlookers clapped in awe
Mature, serious, on point. /s
Not the onion. Yikes. What a shit show
Lol, wasn't even a good burn. Karoline, you suck! Booooo!
Really good opportunity for the reporter to say "My mother has dementia so I guess that tracks actually"
I love news articles like these because I get to say how useless yellow press has been to actual politics. Don’t get me wrong the GOP is nothing but yellower than our sun.
Get to telling the truth leavitt and you can say all the to momma jokes you want
America is a pathetic shitty asshole.
If your asshole isn't shitty, you're doing something very wrong.
Some people don't know what cloaca is and it shows.
“Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called, and they’re all out of you!”
Shoulda responded "Okay but, I am rubber and you are glue, so... Egg on your face!"
Or “my mom died of cancer you insensitive cunt!”
I bet this would likely cause her actual physical arousal. We're not dealing with well adjusted people here.
Jesus Christ. These belligerent idiots.
And how's the slander lawsuit going?
That's what she said.
I can’t even
