Trump is so notorious for planting actual Fake News about himself (to the point of phoning in with bullshit stories) that I don’t believe he made even a half witted joke at a party.

If he did, it was a legitimate question that was misinterpreted as humor. He was probably thinking about Iran on John’s probably very real hit-list and his illiteracy or idiocy got things fudged up.

We Irish made a mistake by allowing Trump, the first US President without Irish heritage since FDR, to get elected in 2016. This was since rectified with Irish Joe Biden, the most plastic Paddy of them all

I thought the Irish were only allowed to vote in UK elections, not US?

I remember one right-wing podcaster turning himself into a pretzel trying to argue how that wasn't a really stupid thing Trump said but actually a good idea that might happen!

It's actually not a stupid idea from a military perspective, Greenland is a pretty nice place for bases in the Arctic. Having it be a US colony would make it a lot easier than following all sorts of rules from the Danish and Greenlandic governments.

The stupid part of thinking it could ever work.

Also once that 1,710,000 sq km of ice sheet is melted there's bound to be some goodies under there, and even if there's no resources to exploit and the land is too nutrient-deprived to be arable well at least you got yourself a big golf course

It's not like we bothered following the rules in the past or anything. I mean gently caress there's still the nuclear waste from the reactor we installed in the ice sheet to power our prototype secret ICBM base that we just left there after abandoning the idea, because it's not like the ice sheets are ever going to melt or anything that'd be silly.

More like where do you get a stack of them to slap on roadsigns. I wouldn't put that on anything I valued.

Probably any online sticker shop will make them for you, so you can probably just wait until one runs a 10 for $2 sale and get some small ones.

Pictured here is a new Danish artwork called "Take the Money And Run" by Jens Haaning. A museum lent him 550.000 DKK, that he was to use for recreating an artwork consisting of a Danish and an Austrian yearly income in bills. Instead of doing that, he openly just took the money and delivered the empty frames. It's a protest of artists getting paid poo poo.

His advice is for everyone who is getting paid poo poo to do the same or similar.

I wonder if it's the kind of thing that white leftists should be encouraged to do and if I remember correctly this is exactly what Black Radicals in the 60s and 70s told white activists to do. It's just that this is never done and it's not really safe for a black or brown person to do it anyways either.

The sad thing about North American society is that class analysis has been excised so thoroughly from popular discourse that you have a white majority that is pretty hostile to socialism on the one hand, and a bunch of "POC" idiot grifters on the other.

So his advice is "starving artists, get yourself in a situation where a museum is completely fine with lending you nearly a hundred thousand dollars, then just keep it"? Okay I guess.

In October 1969, the Patriots opened a medical clinic to provide free care to Uptown residents.
...

After reopening, the unlicensed clinic faced issues with the Board of Health, who were concerned the Patriots would use the facility to "treat gunshot wounds, hand out drugs irresponsibly, perform abortions or give shots with unsterile needles".

All of those are so funny I don't know which I like best. Probably "treat gunshot wounds", cuz obviously they should just let someone with a gunshot wound bleed out while doing nothing, as they deserved it for being in A Gang probably

I think his point is more "steal from work, especially if you're a gig worker", but yeah, he is kinda privileged in that way.

It's maybe worth noting that Denmark just had a nurse strike ended by parliament dictating the collective bargaining outcome to the favour of the employer (basically the state).

My partner had a lyft driver come a block short of her location and then slowly drive to her destination without her. Lyft told us that we couldn't have our money back because the full route had been done. So I guess you can just keep scamming the same app.
