No, it didn't, but it is still regarded as the inciting incident that brought the US into the war. Stop apologizing for Trump being an idiot.

This isn't some obscure statistic or random battle that he is ignorant of. It's literally the inciting incident that got the United States to join the war. The Japanese forces launched a sneak attack on the US there, that's literally all he needed to know.

You either don't understand that either, in which case you're showcasing your own ignorance, or you're making excuses for him, in which case you're a sycophant and can be disregarded.

They're offended by being called out. Doesn't matter what it's about, it's just the being called out that's the problem.

Putting my arm around my girlfriend's shoulder while we were sitting at an assembly. I wasn't doing anything inappropriate, we were just sitting there. But the principal took me aside at one point and told me to stop.

I've been publicly referring to "President Musk" and "First Man Trump" and hoping it catches on. The more we can make Trump feel like there's a perception that he's not in charge, the more it will piss him off, and hopefully cause him to clash with Musk.

I don't even necessarily want him to fire Musk. I want them to try to do conflicting things, give in to their nature to be contrarian, but with each other.

Heh. Potholes fixed with marijuana.

They want to be David vs Goliath. Being the ones persecuted means that they can go on the offensive without feeling bad about it. It means whatever they do is justified as being a means of survival. It gives them an excuse.

For the phrase, "broken" specifically means "stopped", and the clock is analog. If the hands don't turn, then they will be correct twice per day.

Except the president doesn't have that authority. Congress could push back, but it's currently populated by sycophants.

[–] qantravon@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Yep. But Trump doesn't care about that, he just cares about removing a piece of Obama's legacy.

It's because Obama is the one that did the renaming. It's just petty revenge nonsense.
