talkpoliticsNew year, new luck, yo! And of course, again for the purposes of the DailyQuotes list, here's the list of funny/silly/thoughtful/whatev's quotes for 2021.
As usual, a line has a chance of finding its place here if it inspires others to either have a giggle, or go into deep contemplation (keep hoping, lol). A link to this list will also be displayed on the community sidebar.
The Dailyquote list for 2021 begins after the cut (with links)...
"I'd expect more random orders from above, all for our best interests of course! We aren't slipping down the slope, we're intentionally sprinting down it now."
(oportet)
"[The Pandora leak] wasn't about Putin. Not everything is about Putin. Actually very little is about Putin."
(abomvubuso)
"British warships don't often sail in international waters, but when they do there is a BBC journalist onboard..."
(mahnmut)
"The closer we get to a probe, the more likely it is the Wuhan Institute burns down. At this point I'm surprised it's still standing."
(oportet)
"Biden realises he needs Putin to counter China. And Putin realises he needs Biden to, well, counter China. That's a start."
(abomvubuso)
"There must be something inherently wrong with a society that distrusts its own government, or even the idea of a governing government in its guts."
(kiaa)

"[DeSantis] seems to be on a roll lately. Of course toilet paper is on a roll too. And more useful than Ron "Trump Wannabe" DeSantis."
(luzribeiro)
"Every ruler is a killer. Even the ones who've won Nobel peace prizes."
(mahnmut)
"Comparing something that wasn't the holocaust to the holocaust is like telling the relatives of the victims of the holocaust that their tragedy is just as trivial as that other thing that wasn't the holocaust, like some schmuck getting told their words have consequences."
(kiaa)
"Some might call it admirable - society making adjustments so no one is uncomfortable. Can't blame the folks asking for it really - if the answer is always yes, why wouldn't they?"
(oportet)
"The inheritors of our world will be more technologically advanced and much more protean with identity than we ever were. Excepting David Bowie, obvs; who came from the future by the looks of things."
(johnny9fingers)
"Fascism abhors a loser."
(danceofhtelight)
"I fancy that cybernetic enhancement will render separation by sex moot as a kind of post-hoc action. Then the non co-ed professional stuff will linger as a niche and focus on outward sex characteristics, so we'll end up with leagues like "All Organic Female 5 to 6 Foot 1.2 Hip-To-Waist B-Cup Or Above Swimming League""
(garote)
"Interesting. So, when folks storm into parliaments in other countries, it's freedom fighting and a struggle for democracy - but when it happens in the US, it's domestic terrorism and an attack on the foundations of society. But when they burn cars and smash shops in the street, it's freedom fighting and a struggle for democracy again. Come on people, make up your minds already!"
(dreamville_bg)
"Wait... Trump is the only US president in recent history who hasn't started a war! Nobel Peace Prize, anyone? Obama got his for much less!"
(dreamville_bg)
"Assange may eventually be the good guy - but I dont see it happening in his lifetime. The toes he stepped on are still sore about it."
