If John Roberts gets hit by a bus tomorrow, I'll celebrate.

These individuals need out of power now so they don't bother me anymore. Once they are just powerless Americans, they can take a flying leap for all I care.

I feel like I am a better person for not personally knowing any of the people who wrote today's homophobic Court ruling. I can get much higher quality humans to interact with.

There's nothing remotely controversial or unconstitutional about affirmative action. The majority on the Supreme Court are just a bunch of regressive goons.

My honest opinion about the Ukrainian counteroffensive: Ukrainians don't have air support, are incapable of combined arms manuevers and are attacking well fortified defenses while not even close to the traditional 3-to-1 manpower advantage attackers need. It's time to see the writing on the wall, war hawks.

The Supreme Court erred in today's affirmative action decision and what the Constitution says about it. This bad decision will just have to be overturned in the future. When we don't have a bunch of justices who get right-wing millionaires who pay for vacations for members of the Court.

Alito and Roberts have written opinions the day so far. I wonder who else is up today. Unless it's Roberts again in all big cases.

I find it very racist white person to be like, "look, we found some Asian-Americans to argue this and take the heat off us white people".

Did a racist write this?

This map includes changes right up to today, including the first month or so of the Ukrainian counteroffensive. Bad news: the Ukrainian counteroffensive has been disappointing, and I don't think it's going to change much. Their goal of "evicting Russia from all of their territory" isn't going to happen soon. Good news: Russia is in chaos, and not just from the Wagner mutiny of the last week. It's clear to everyone except for the most dedicated Russophiles that Russia is the loser since Feb. 2022. Russia will not be able to mount any kind of significant military action, in Ukraine or anywhere else any time soon.

I take that to mean those who did not answer or who had no opinion are not included in the graphic, not that they are excluded from the numbers. Take the survey of Poland for example. The remaining 3% after you add the unfavorable and favorable numbers are the ones who didn't answer/have no opinion/etc.

I've followed this Pew poll for years, and the most unpopular the U.S. ever got in it was during the George W. Bush administration after the Iraq invasion. There was also a notable, but not as bad, dip during the Trump years because Trump.

Lol. Funny you should say that but I have pretty strong anti-Invincible opinions going back years. It's totally not my thing. So I would consider it a compliment to be called "totally not Invincible".

It's a Pew Research Center poll called the Global Attitudes Survey that is conducted every year in the spring. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2023/06/27/international-views-of-biden-and-u-s-largely-positive/

... definitely died by suicide. Hillary/Bill Gates/Soros didn't murder him. Many guards at federal prisons really are incompetent cartoon sheriffs who sleep on the job. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/27/us/politics/jeffrey-epstein-death-report.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

I'm excited for this episode because that's one of the best Superman stories from the comics.

As a DC fan, I laugh at Marvel's depression over just one small cosmic crisis that forces one to ask disturbing existential question.

Luckily, Putin is a super chill guy who never holds a grudge.
