Petty? That’s a fucking survival tactic.
My wife does this with salesman. “Oh, no, I dunno”, places hand over mouth in Japanese.
Trump speaks English? I thought he only speaks in Trumpaneeze …
Mate how old is this meme, that’s ex-president Shinzo Abe and he’s been dead for 4 years.
The 3D-Printer Virgin versus the Chad Doohickey
Probably first term. This has first term vibes.
He’s been pretending to be dead for four years to avoid talking to Donald.
Faked getting doohickey’d just so he wouldn’t have to talk to that bag of shit.
Turns out we are all dead inside, and the call was coming from inside the house.
And the real lesson was the awkward silence we had along the way
Nah man, it’s brand new. See Shinzo Abe wanted so very little to talk to Trump he escaped to a whole different plane of existence.
My Next Life as a Reincarnated President in Another World Without Trump Vol 1
The final episode is Trump dying and being reincarnated into Abes world.
… as his rival in a magical academy where rank is determined by monthly spellcasting tournaments
Trump always “wins” because his stupid rambling keeps messing up others’ spells and their concentration. When he falls asleep mid-fight and loses, he whines around until he “wins”
I think part of it too is because by some weird loophole, his sharts actually count as spells, and it tends to knock his opponents out immediately…
With slimes. And catgirl assassins.
And all the 15yos he can impregnate while saying “this is normal for them you see”
Why’d you have to make it weird?
Shinzo Abe and the entirety of Japanese pop culture but most especially isekai trash made it weird.
Sounds like you’re making a lot of sweeping generalizations
My Grandma So Gordo Make A Casa Roll
This is not petty.
It is divesting from stupidity.
That’s not petty at all.
It’s Tom Petty … because Tom Petty fucking hated Republicans since Reagan (and maybe earlier, he probably hated Nixon too).
And he won’t back down.
I’d do the same thing tbh
Isnt she basically a far right fascist?
Akie became popularly known as the “domestic opposition party” due to her outspoken views, which often contradicted her husband’s.[4] Akie is also known as a supporter of sexual minorities and the LGBT community. On 27 April 2014, she joined the gay pride parade in Tokyo to show her support for broader rights to Japan’s LGBT community.[5] In 2015, she was photographed standing in a field of cannabis plants promoting the revival of the cannabis culture in Japan.[6]

Doesn’t sound that fascist.
Oh I did not read carefully and thought this was about the current pm/president of Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanae_Takaichi, who basically opposes all of that.
She has two melons though.

Japan has demonstrated that they are very progressive and welcoming of foreign ideas and concepts. And also totally not racist.
While I support this I’m uninformed, how good is her English? Are we talking broken enflish she learned in grade school or basically natively fluent?
Do you think that she works at an American Chinese food joint? She’s an highly ranked politician, of course she knows English. Better than you and me both, probably.
That’s too presumptuous. Not everyone can learn English proficiently, especially those from East Asia because of completely different characteristics and structures between European languages and East Asian languages.
English is often used as an international language, and for that reason it’s the most common second language by a pretty wide margin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers
People who need to regularly speak with people from a wide variety of countries learn English.
And? Not many people would find it easy to learn a new language regardless of the internationality of any particular language. It sounds like ethnocentrism to presume everyone can speak the English language.
It makes sense she would but many international ceos don’t speak English so it’s not a given. I’d rather know then assume.
I mean, look up the current PM Sanae Takaichi speaking English. It’s functional, but… not good.
That’s not obvious, first ladies (or male equivalent) may enter politics for the first time when their partner gets elected
