Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri

I'll never understand this silly take. they just took a venezuelan oil tanker. is that a joke to you? you might disagree with what they're doing, or argue they are incompetent, but joke is very strange take. they are very serious. ask some undocumented immigrants in the USA about how much they're joking.

in fact - any country seeing what trump is doing both domestically and internationally and not taking their actions potentially against them seriously is stupid imho.

I'm laughing at their sheer incompetence. This is coming from a minority who has been targeted by US governments policies and has lost friends because of this.

Yes, the US government is a laughing stock while we have sympathy for those negatively impacted by the decisions made by these incompetent idiots.

you and I have very different definitions of joke it seems.

I think by 'joke' people mean "their actions are unreasonable to the point of ridicule, and were they less consequential would be akin to the performance of a circus clown instead of a diligent policy maker."

But the rest of us just shorten that to "joke".

I think you just need to read more. Your comprehension of common terms in context is lacking.

Obviously they would take a Venezuelan oil tanker. Oil is the only reason Trump is interested in Venezuela.

Thank you - exactly what I meant. I thought it was a common understanding when used in this context.

So it’s a partisan word then and basically devoid of meaning and consistency across political lines. When hasn’t the us political class been a joke by such a definition…? Perhaps when we owned slaves, or interned the Japanese?
