He's not saying "fixed" as in "repaired"...

Tangentially related. I watched a pretty interesting documentary many years ago about avant-garde art in Weimar Germany. Back in the days of the kaiser and before, if you painted a horse it damn well better look like a horse. During the third reich, if you painted a horse it damn well better have hitler on it. But during the interwar years there was quite an explosion of weird shit from the German art community.
Then, of course, the war happened and all that shit ended, just like it's happening in Russia now. Not that America did much better back then. Frank Capra was directing WWII propaganda films and Bugs Bunny was flying a B-29.
This is what I keep trying to tell people about this war. There are no good guys. There is no right side of history to be on.
There are sides. And people are perfectly welcome and justified to take a side. But you have to understand that whichever side you take, they have done terrible things to innocent people for terrible reasons.
I think some people have problems with your evaluation of the last few points.
I'm not gonna give him credit for calling off the war with Iran, since it was his own stupid decisions that got us there.
There are a lot of NATO fans here, so you're catching flak for the +/- evaluation on both of those points.
The withdrawal from Afghanistan was a goddamn trainwreck, so I don't think he should get points for that. Not entirely his fault, because the actual exodus didn't happen under his watch, but his timeline certainly didn't set his successor up for success.
But in general, saying anything even vaguely complementary towards Orange Julius is gonna earn you some downvotes around here.
A foreign national donating $50? Strictly forbidden.
A foreign national donating $50k? Perfectly ok.

She would be my choice as well, but she just announced she wouldn't.
But this is the DNC...
It was a disturbingly close call which side of WWII we were gonna land on. In 1939 the second-largest Nazi party in the world was right here in America.
Guns are like tattoos. If you're into them, you probably have a bunch.
Don't forget that they started major construction on the Ballard bridge and the intersection of 15th and Market right before Seafood Fest!
My work magically got a supply of N95 masks early in Covid. It was unexpected, so we didn't have a plan or a system for them. Didn't think to have a limit or anything.
A crew from Albert Lee bought every single one, took them back to their store, and sold them at 100% markup.
