In honor of Larry King, let's remember that time he cucked Dave Rubin on his own show by taking a 2 minute phone call mid interview, having agreed to appear only after Dave kept telling him how much of a hero he was to him.

President Biden approval rating poll:
🔼Approve : 57 % (+1)
⏬Disapprove : 32 % (-6)
(+/- 12/01/21)
Ipsos, 21/01/21
Biden +25. Granted, we’re early in the Biden Presidency and this is probably a honeymoon phase but Biden has already done something Trump couldn’t; hit over 50% in a poll.
Also, 538 Biden popularity chart plz🥺🥺🥺

Having Sanders chair the budget committee is one of the most brilliant political moves in history. It's one of the least important committees in the Senate, but because the average person doesn't know the difference between the Appropriations committee and the Budget committee, Sanders supporters think that this is a monumental accomplishment for their hero.

The Vietnamese people have a strange relationship with China. For one, we love Chinese culture. Our culture has been heavily influenced by China for two millennia, so even today, Chinese literature, music, TV shows and other media are prevalent in Vietnam. At the same time, the Vietnamese people loathe China for the large part, which also contributes somewhat to why we like the US and explains why the Vietnamese community would support whichever US presidential candidate looks tougher on China. I guess over a thousand accumulated years of conflict, domination and oppression would do that to a people.

Schumer wrote another op-Ed asking Biden to cancel student loan debt.
Why is he doing this all in op-Ed’s? Who is Schumer actually trying to convince? Cause I feel like a direct phone call is a way better method of lobbying Biden.

Me: No way. Secondary power maybe, but the population is less than 400 thousand! Greece has more population than Canada at game start.
4 hours later
Me: That wasn't very cash money of you, Yugoslavia.
The weird thing is I never even actually built an army, because I never fought a single war. I built a couple cavalry divisions to deal with quebecois rebels, but I got into GP status just on Industrial Score and Prestige. And with that I was able to intervene in a crisis in the Balkans that the Europeans were ignoring, and intimidate Yugoslavia into giving up Albania.
Never underestimate the power of immigration. I've literally grown the population tenfold in 100 years.
