If you can’t even get Republicans to pass an act that 80% of Americans support, and which the admin is actively campaigning for, then democracy is just useless. Worse than useless, actually, it’s actively destroying good results.
If you trusted "settled science" throughout history, you'd have:
- Drunk radioactive water for vitality (1920s)
- Had your healthy teeth pulled to cure mental illness (1910s)
- Smoked cigarettes for your throat, on doctor's orders (1940s)
- Taken heroin for your child's cough (1890s)
- Eaten lead paint chips as a calcium supplement (decades of this)
- Used asbestos to insulate your child's bedroom (1950s)
- Given thalidomide to pregnant women for morning sickness (1960s)
- Eaten margarine for your heart (1970s)
- Lobotomised your sister for being unhappy (1940s and 50s)
- Sprayed DDT on the children in the playground (1950s)
- Avoided all fat to lose weight (1990s)
- Replaced butter with trans-fat spreads on the doctor's recommendation (1990s)
Every generation has its medical catastrophe dressed up as health advice. Endorsed by the experts. Printed in the textbooks. Recommended by your doctor. Featured on the front of the magazines in the waiting room.
Ours is seed oils, statins, grain-based diets, ultra-processed convenience food, and the steady chemical maintenance of conditions that better food would resolve in 90 days.
Future generations will look back in horror. Just like we look back at radioactive tonics and cigarette prescriptions and wonder how anyone fell for it.
The pattern never changes. Only the product on the shelf.
Jew gets attacked:
- Footage released within the hour.
- Massive police response
- Statements by the PM and mayor
White girl gets brutally r*ped:
- Well we can't release footage due to community tensions and the risk of rioting.
- Silence from PM.
He's not stupid. He's lying. White nationalism is a natural consequence of a concerted effort to genocide and displace White people. The move with SLPC is to discredit all White nationalist movements as fake so that you think you're alone because it's the only thing they fear.
@GodsgreatG They say we share a common ancestor.
It seems like evolution has stopped because it *has* effectively stopped.
Natural selection and drift are much too slow to result in the speciation that they claim it produces.
Here’s the issue, we were assured by the same guy last summer in similar terms that we’d achieved our objectives and everything was back on track
Then out of nowhere Israel produced new “intelligence” saying things weren’t good and off we went
What’s to stop them producing more “intelligence”
The problem isn’t the outcome of this campaign, it’s that a foreign power can dog walk us into a conflict whenever it suits them
Until we’ve broken that dependency we aren’t a free country
@RealJamesWoods This cope would make more sense if the first thing Trump/Israel did wasn't to obliterate the one man in Iran that was preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons in the first place.
If Trump actually had any balls he would have told Netanyahu to pound sand from the start.
There has not been a serious effort to secure assistance from any of these countries, not any concrete requests as to who should do what where. The German government apparently has received no direct communications from the Trump administration about any of this. There are only statements on social media and in the press about faithless NATO allies.
Thus the goal is not actually to secure assistance in opening the Strait, at least not at this stage. Rather, it is to assign responsibility *in the eyes of American voters* for the continued closure to other countries. It's a publicity and a messaging campaign driven by Trump's desire to declare victory and extricate himself.
You have to understand that this is Ben's entire purpose. This is what a decade of him building up the trust of well meaning conservatives was for. This moment. To shill for Israeli interests when it matters most.
He doesn't give a damn about America, the American people, or the "browning of America" (his words) he cares about his ethnic homeland and sending your kids and your tax dollars to protect it.
It's slimier than that, they deleted only the podcasts in which he criticized Israel, then took over his podcast (using his name) and said "Charlie Kirk would have supported Israel" (putting words in a deadman's mouth) these vile snakes 100% had something to do with it.
3/3: “We won the war”
3/7: "We defeated Iran”
3/9: “We need to beat Iran”
3/9: "The war is very complete, pretty much"
3/11: “We need to beat Iran”
3/11: “We won but also we didn’t”
3/12: "We won the war"
3/13: “We won but also we didn’t”
Today: “Iran is defeated!”
Ben Shapiro was attacking Charlie Kirk and TPUSA on Mark Levin’s show the day before Charlie was assassinated. He’s a foreign agent who only cares about America to the extent it benefits Israel.
Iran killed 60k of their civilians!
No wait, they have nukes.
No wait, they rebuilt the nukes we destroyed already.
No wait, they’re going to bomb USA!
No wait, Israel forced our hand.
No wait, we forced Israel’s hand.
No wait, ummm theeeey… did October 7?
Also it is and isn’t a “war” and if you don’t accept that, you’re an antisemitic terrorist sympathizers.
Pete Hegseth said this was "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since WWII" (which is false, but that's beside the point), so I decided to look at what happened in WW2 and... this might surprise no-one: turns out the Nazis were more humane than the Americans.
Probably the most abject part here is that the warship had many survivors - 32 to be precise (https://t.co/bS1uARrBtf) - and the U.S. made zero effort to rescue them, despite it being required by the laws of naval warfare and simply being the honorable thing to do.
It took little Sri-Lanka, with its very modest means - especially compared to the $1 trillion US defense budget - to do the honorable thing and launch a (successful) rescue operation.
Even the literal Nazis, during WW2, rescued the survivors of ships their U-boats sank. It was considered a matter of basic honor.
The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (https://t.co/6wI251aNCv).
The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn't get attacked during the rescue.
That's when a US B-24 "Liberator" bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed.
The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery...
This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the "Laconiarefehl" - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high.
In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea.
Dönitz at least had an excuse.
