There have been couple of non-Western countries with politicians who are not part of local majority group. There is a white Australian who is like a governor or mayor in Papua New Guinea. Peru infamously had a dictator of Japanese-ancestry. So you get these kinds of things. If a white person wants to become an MP in India, go for it.
Doesn’t matter if you have zero charisma and really bad PR. Obama and FDR were popular because they have both.
The Supreme Court must be impartial regardless of legislative and executive political mudslinging of the time. That’s the whole point of different branches of government.
If SCOTUS made the decision after seeing Trump and Biden debate, or knowing Republicans will control both houses, then they aren’t doing their job as they should. There’s a reason why juries are encouraged not to watch TV or media that would cloud their decision, and the same should apply to judges.
People forget the bloody whole point of checks and balance!

Books discussing about the horrors of the Holocaust is “adult”, I guess.
Lmao
This is just too good (or too bad depending on who you ask) to be true. I know they are conservative grifters, but I would believe the claim about Boebert and I doubt the rest.
You may be right. We just saw how Russia performed in the war in Ukraine despite the prior years of flexing lol. It’s not impossible to believe that the North Korean military is the same.
Lemmy has the least shills and bots
Because it’s not popular yet. Wait until it becomes so and the inevitable enshittification happens.
A free trip for defection for North Koreans!
Me who still irons clothes
looks sideways
Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.
It’s just UAE, not Middle East.
I reckon FDR has managed to do as much as he could because he is already wealthy and doesn’t have to worry much about funding election campaign. He did not have to beg to rich people and businesses for funding in exchange for doing favours for them. After all, there is strong correlation with how much campaign funds you have with thei likelihood of winning the election.
Ignore the us vs them narrative that tend to dominate the news on migration and look at the bigger picture:
MIGRATION WILL ONLY GET WORSE WITH HUMAN-INDUCED CLIMATE CHANGE
Unfortunately, of all the horrible things the Nazis have done, anti-lgbt sentiment is probably the only one that might have gotten widespread support from all political spectrum at the time. It’s not like the Allies and rest of the world were progressive and supportive of lgbtq. See what Britain did to one of their own, Alan Turing, for being gay.
Not to defend the pope and his lack of prosecution of these pedophiles, but you have to remember that the rule of a leader is never absolute. A leader still has to answer to either the lay people, the nobles/elites, or both. Or else a leader will have to face a rebellion in some form or another. That being said, the problem is that Pope Francis has to go against a significant number of pedophiles and other ultraconservative priests. The Vatican is a hotbed of political intrigue as much as in the royal courts, congress or parliaments. There has been a talk of conservative discontent on Pope Francis for many years now; many of whom adore the pope’s more conservative predecessor, Benedict XVI. I mean, how else would a pope get elected by its own elites other than to also engage with politics? It’s not different to your everyday office politics or government.
