The State Department handles diplomacy. I would expect that the intention is for US diplomats (however many are left after all this) to drive around in these things. I'm sure that will help convince other countries that the US is not at all stupidly corrupt.

"That's too insane for him to actually do" is exactly the sort of complacency that got us into this mess.

There's a simple explanation for that: they're more committed to fascism than to their own self-interests.

It's important to remember that the only reason he can get away with everything is because lots of other powerful people are going along with it.

It's pretty impressive just how thorough Trump and Elon are being about destroying every single thing that used to be good about the USA.

They thought the leopard would eat other people's faces and not theirs. Remember that one lady from his first term? "He's not hurting the right people." That quote tells you everything you need to know about his voters.

Biden isn't quite as bad as the soundbites make him seem, but he is slowing down (physically and mentally) in his old age and was just generally an extremely uninspiring candidate. Trump, if anything is worse than you portray. He's way more senile than Biden, in addition to the blatant corruption, rulebreaking, childishness, and being horrifically and openly racist and sexist. He has literally quoted Hitler! No decent and reasonable person who is paying the slightest attention to what he says and does would think he is remotely qualified for any position of authority. The fact that he is polling roughly evenly with an extremely qualified and intelligent person like Kamala Harris is indeed an absolute clownshow.

That does seem to be the story of this war, doesn't it? I bet all the major militaries are looking at stuff like this and investing in more drones for themselves, too.

Wait, fallout 4 didn't do the ending slideshow? That's an iconic part of the series! I'm so glad I stopped buying Bethesda games.

Unfortunately for the residents of Moscow, all Russian AA weapons are currently in Ukraine.

It seems that we have progressed to the "find out" stage. I wonder if this will have any measurable effect on Putin's support, though. Russians seem like heavy sleepers.

This is NOT a purity spiral

Right, because that's exactly what people who are not in a purity spiral say.
