  2. Japanese death row is no picnic, they NEVER tell you when the sentence will be carried out until that morning. So you will never know if the next morning will be be your last.
    4100
  3. Haiti out there reminding us no matter how bad our nation seems to be, it could be much worse.
    2800
  4. “Okay... everybody get out and push.”

  5. Russian election ballot has 3 choices: 1. Putin. 2. Putin. 3. Prison. also prison if you picked the “wrong” Putin.

  6. If Russia won’t recognize Ukrainian borders and sovereignty, then why should Ukraine recognize Russia’s?

  7. He should have just said, “I’m too old for this shit” like Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon.😂
    701
  8. Xi: “I elect myself as leader again.” Everyone: If I don’t clap I’m dead.

  9. Prior to Trump’s stupid tariffs it was expected that the Conservatives would take over in the next election. Now he may have pushed Canadians away from the Conservative party.
    546
  10. I find the lack of backup power disturbing.
    493
  11. Next government needs to have zero military seats in parliament, they proved they cannot be trusted.
    491
  12. Easy, can you imagine a billion people, most of them living in crowded cities, getting COVID? Imagine all the variants that could come from that!
    470
  13. 20 years and all we did was give the Taliban some nice new military gear and Humvees (what ever we gave to the Afghan army.)
    440
  14. I highly doubt that Putin doesn’t watch international news reports.
    434
  15. Russia: we’re not attacking anyone. Also Russia: let’s move in an occupying force since there’s no resistance as the Ukrainians won’t come in here, and the “rebels” are just our unmarked guys.
    426
  16. Germany: let’s turn off all the nuclear power plants, what could possibly go wrong… who’s playing boss music? Putin: What’s this valve do?
    396
  17. I wonder if she was trying to escape from the court… or escape from her nursing/care home… “this place is awful, can you take me home?”
    379
  18. Apparently she was the training officer for a new officer that day... always fun when the training officer is poorly trained.
    370
  19. She’s probably on a tropical island with no extradition treaty, heck she could have bought an island with the money she took from crypto-fools!
    365
  20. Sure let’s start a fight in the Balkans, what could possibly go wrong?
    361
  21. Putin: We must have a buffer zone with Ukraine. Ukraine: Good idea! Putin: Wait, not like that!
    346
  22. Dear rest of the world: I am so sorry… I didn’t vote for him… and I can’t explain why anyone here did.
    344
  23. Unfortunate that a man had to lose his life, but her actions were reckless (how do you fail to notice you are not holding a BRIGHT YELLOW taser? It’s that color for a reason, it’s on your non-dominant side for a reason too!)
    322
  24. Imagine if the US tried to do this over 1 case, the backlash would be far worse than the virus.
    261
  25. US Infrastructure: aging and vulnerable. Also US Infrastructure: connected to the internet. Congress: 😴 💤
    249
  26. Classic diversionary move: internal problems, people riot, “no it was outsiders.”
    242
  27. Trump: “Suddenly having to pay $500 million in fines isn’t so bad.” 😂😂😂
    232
  28. Is Putin doing that bully thing, “well if I can’t have it, no one can”?
    212
  29. Tsar Bomba was actually designed to be twice as powerful, but the Soviets were worried it was too big for the bomber crew that dropped it to escape, so they only put a half-powered core in it. The bomber barely got away from it.
    209
  30. The people of the island voted, they chose the UK. Unfortunately in their eyes, Argentina was an aggressive invader and they wouldn’t accept them.
    207
  31. Courts: Netanyahu is corrupt and must face charges! Netanyahu: Nerf the courts.
    205
  32. Intelligence is also lacking in the Oval Office right now.
    203
  33. Too bad the Olympics can’t be done over zoom like everything else.
    191
  34. Harry now has more material for his next book, “Waaagh.”
    177
  35. He finally realized that half of the US government is rooting for Putin. Which is crazy.
    175
  36. This is not True AI capable of self-learning: it’s generative and relies on reading thousands of things written by humans. So if it’s being fed garbage, it will spit out garbage.
    171
  37. “Sorry, America’s closed.” “You heard the lady, we’ll try Canada.” “Ohhh, I don’t want to go to Canada.”
    166
  38. She “dared” to question Putin’s boy toy Lukashenko. That’s why.
    163
  39. The original plan for vapes was to help people quit smoking by having cartridges with lower and lower nicotine in them. But then the vape industry started getting more people hooked on their products instead and you’ve just traded one addiction for another.
    162
  40. “No prime minister has ever completed a full 5 year term in Pakistan.” That sounds like a horrible way to run any nation.
    162
  41. Indian PM: we will fix this by 2070… People in India: we will be dead from smog long before that.
    154
  42. The crack he’s smoking must be very strong stuff. 😂
    146
  43. Actions have consequences, Brexit was sold to voters without a full picture of what leaving or remaining actually meant.
    146
  44. I blame Natanyahu, he has zero interest in peace, and instead provokes the cycle of violence to keep himself in power. He has blood from both sides of the conflict on his hands.
    143
  45. Russians living abroad in lost chunks of the USSR seem to want to bring Russia to them, instead of simply moving to Russia (which is so massive I’m sure there’s enough room for everyone without needing to add more territory.)
    140
  46. Because it’s not just crazyman Trump saying it now.
    138
  47. Really should look into widening the thing since it was designed for much smaller ships (Panama Canal had to build a second wider canal to accommodate bigger ships.)
    137
  48. When they are quick to label their own citizens who are journalists “foreign agents” you know being a reporter from outside Russia is going to be under scrutiny 24/7.
    135
  49. Yes, because the virus will leave you alone if you’re working or at the grocery store.
    134
  50. Put them all on buses, take them to an airplane and fly them all to Putin’s giant house near Sochi, “Your boy Lukashenko sends his regards.”
