America is great because you can be goldplated elite (Groton, Yale, Yale Law, then Deep State, married to the national security advisor) and you have to debate an insane libertarian Chinese immigrant mum who will insult you in broken English and she may beat you at the election.

Meet Lily Tang Williams, congressional candidate in NH. Her bio says she was inspired to leave communist China after reading a pocket Constitution. She's not giving an inch to this former Biden aide.

Japan can't “protect the US” militarily because the US conquered Japan and imposed a constitution which forbade it. This really just shows American security guarantees are worthless now, no matter how much personal diplomacy you do.

With Japan we have a deal, which is a very interesting. We have to protect Japan, but they don't have to protect us. And btw they make a fortune with us economically. I actually ask who makes these deals. 6/

End stage anarcho-tyranny is the police building memorials to crimes they didn't stop and blaming you for getting robbed.

No matter how bad you think the euthanasia stories coming out of Canada are, there's always a worse one.

I don't know, if I ran an account called Irish Unity I wouldn't support the principle that if there's a smaller island off the coast of your country you're entitled to annex it, but that's just me.

I don't think anyone who's salivating at the prospect of mass political violence or civil war has the foggiest idea of how bad these things are in real life. It's beyond their memory and their imagination.

You can move to Australia or Canada and double your salary instantly or you can work for the NHS and have weirdos shouting at you for going to a nice restaurant. Tough choices for a junior doctor.
