    This bargaining ability explains so much about how he was able to bankrupt multiple casinos

      That was just money laundering and I can’t be convinced otherwise.

        Being the cleaner should earn you money from your other shady deals and other people who trust you to do it for them. Being the one who needs money cleaned makes keeping the cleaner operating necessary.

        How was there any arrangement where letting the casinos, multiple, fail made financial or political sense? 😆

          The Taj Mahal only went under after it was audited and fined for the money laundering and had to stop.

      He’s never been a successful businessman. He just pulls whatever shit he wants and lets lawyers drag it out.

    I was gonna write a parody on kids doing the thing where they make up some threat like “I’ll pour this glass of milk on my bed if you don’t let me play with the dolls now”.

    But like the levels of stupidity don’t even compare. We’re beyond parody at this point.

        They are called Action Figures.

        But these barbie clothes do fit them pretty well.

        Oh 100%, kind of my point in that it’s unfair to parody it in that way.

        (Edit: ok I see now that it reads like “the levels of stupidity don’t compare” like the playing with dolls is also stupid, not what I meant, my bad)

        Pretty sure dolls have range of movement, the techpriests are rather set in the ways.

Shitposting about geopolitics, diplomacy, and current events for shits and giggles

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain bad diplomacy takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong elsewhere.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about international diplomacy. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or talk about military tactics or equipment. There are other places for that.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Please leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title.:::

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NonCredibleDiplomacy exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don’t be an idiot.
