wouldn't have seen this, that's for sure

What is it with "safe" blue states and producing utterly spineless and/or annoying politicians anyway?

Dawg this is why nobody takes your “standing up” seriously

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

Vance is a genuine asshole, but I think he also sees assholery as a part of a winning political persona. What he misses is that lots of people see Trump as a *fun* asshole and that's why they like his schtick. But there's nothing fun about JD Vance and never will be.

Must be a weird coincidence how every goal of the Russian Federation's foreign policy seems to be to restore the Russian Empire

Guns are cool and fun, fight me.

The British empire starved Irish people, treated us as 2nd class citizens and extracted resources, but even *if* they didn't do all that marching into Ireland with guns, ruling us and denying our nationhood and forcing us to speak English on it's own is very bad no matter how many schools they built

No new US pressure on Russia, Russia still promises nothing real, more endless waffle.

My warmest congratulations to Nicușor Dan on his victory tonight! The Romanian people have turned out massively to the polls. They have chosen the promise of an open, prosperous Romania in a strong Europe. Together, let’s deliver on that promise. Looking forward to working with you.

Hey remind me, which president was on Epstein's flight logs?

There is a great Armando Iannucci miniseries to be written about this year's Romanian elections

Simion, the right wing populist Romanian candidate who just lost the second round of voting for the presidency prematurely declared victory while posting the Chadian flag.

new and exciting opportunities for depressing his approval rating

RESULT: Nicusor Dan, the centrist mayor of Bucarest, will be the next president of Romania. A big loss for the far-right: its candidate George Simion got 41% in round one, but didn’t grow enough, & turnout surging worked against him. Simion is down 54.3% to 45.7% with 96% reporting.

Well what the fuck

In a truly comical moment, the former Israeli ambassador to Lithuania has accused the Lithuanian eurovision jury of being someone's "political puppets" for giving them zero points

For this week in EU politics, Hungary's Viktor Orban backs the losing anti-Hungarian nationalist candidate in Romanian presidential elections and therefore incurs the wrath of a winning Romanian pro-EU coalition that includes the Hungarian minority's UDMR party

this is also why i said i'm out of the predictions game for a while and I meant it. I'm not making predictions for 2025 or 2026 until I'm right about something like I was 2022 (at least in terms of outcomes, not causal factors)
