Funny.
Libs, when the streets are on fire: "I'll watch from my penthouse suite."
Libs, after somewhat-less-than-fascist election outcome: "IMMA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Imagine still universally referring to the Palestinian resistance as "terrorists" while reporting this. 
No no. We always ignore privatization and the damage "caused by other countries" that wouldn't have happened without U.S. interference. Sorry. Ukraine's doing great!
Sometimes it helps to a anarchist. I tend to just agree with them that government is bad, and then proceed to help them understand what government actually is. It breaks their brains, but tends to do so a little further along and in ways that confuse rather than anger them.
Muh Freedom™ to own slaves.
I'm not sure "cheeto" is a good nickname now that Genocide Joe has gotten the ol' spray tan treatment as well. LOL. We're going to have to start asking "Which cheeto?"
I find it hilarious either way.
No, I don't think there's much of a distinction in the U.S. Just a bit of an implication about how much InDiViDuAL ReSPonSiBiLitY there was in you losing your job. Like if you apply to another job and your prospective hirer asks you why you left the old one, if you tell them you were "laid off" they'll probably think it was mostly a "structural problem" at your old employer (though there's still a bit of a question of why you were laid off and not some other person), whereas if you told them you were fired (usually you just don't) they'd be asking a lot more questions and probably just turning you down without much more consideration.
Though also if the place which "lays you off" immediately hires someone in the same position, you might have some small chance of going after them for wrongful termination (usually only if you can also tie it to likely discrimination of some sort). Usually such lawsuits are a waste of your time and energy, though, as they can take years, are severely weighted in companies' favor, and rarely have any kind of satisfying outcome even if you "win".
...could help deliver the first pause in fighting since November....
Wasn't the pause in which they released a bunch of hostages in like March or April or something?
The real coup attempt. And he wasn't even trying, folks.
I suspect a failed interception, which deflected the missile's trajectory rather than destroying it. They are far more common than actually effective ones.
