Well if you someday wake up and the only person in the world who agrees with you on your issue is Hitler himself, you usually end up appreciating Hitler, not changing your mind about your issue.
Because you're normal- however, in the mind of the leftist it's a perfectly rational thought to state 'Hitler thought this' as a reason why something is bad and should not be done. Bad people are ontologically evil, and so anything that they believe for must be stood against and against must be a good thing that we do. It's why you see such black-and-white for us or against us purity spiralling in the left, to think any bad thoughts means that you are a bad person and therefore must be excised from polite society.
 
I just saw that the Trump administration responded to the faggot judges order restricting D.O.G.E. from accessing records.
Has it already been posted or linked to? I don't want to post anything that's already been covered.

Why did they need to escalate from a stupid invasion in the Balkans? The same could be said about the Crimean War. Why did they help the sick men of Europe against the Russians? To later use spies to destroy the Ottomans. These weird soft-power empires don't work long term.
 
Politico: House Democrats create a Trump-focused ‘rapid response task force’ (archive)
The new "Rapid Response Task Force and Litigation Working Group" is part of a "multifaceted struggle to protect and defend everyday Americans from the harm being inflicted by this administration," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Monday in a letter to colleagues.

TL;DR: Whistleblower comes forward and names names and files a criminal complaint against the governor of Pennsylvania and implicates the former head of the FBI as well as Joe Biden himself, in the attempted assassination of Trump at Butler.
I want to believe, but it sounds like schizoposting the more I read. President Pudding Brain coordinating the hit is especially unbelievable.
The Shapiro-Biden plot sounds fake. Is this getting any buzz at all? It's sure not on Google News/SPIDR.
 
A communist Asia was no threat to the United States. If we weren’t idiotically advocating for decolonization so much, it probably wouldn’t have even happened in many areas.
You're completely forgetting the sixties, a decade after Truman, in where the Soviets and Cubans were pointing rockets at us from our own back yard. It was a necessity for America to be able to represent itself on the world stage in the face of communism.
 
This “expansionist” argument is ridiculous because you could justify so many different wars with it. You know what else is expansionist? Islam. But you said earlier that you didn’t like Bush’s foreign wars. I just don’t agree with the idea that we should get our own soldiers killed overseas because a communist Korea might be a threat later on down the line. I might be able to make a compromise on this point if it was a communist threat in our backyard instead, but there’s no excuse with Korea.
If we lost Korea the reds would get a blank check in the Pacific which is our backyard. If we go by your logic we also give up Europe and now we’re threatened in the Atlantic as well. I’d rather a few boys die in Korea than a lot more die having to clean up something we easily could’ve avoided.
As for decolonization being inevitable, that’s a very blanket statement that assumes the situation was the same in India as it was in Jamaica or Aden. Some colonies probably couldn’t be held anymore, but some definitely could and we had absolutely no reason to betray our allies by advocating for the independence of their unprepared colonial subjects.
For the record, I have a huge hatred of Britain so I’d advocate for decolonization, and a far more extreme variant than what we saw, just because of that. Britain has been nothing but trouble, they stopped northward expansion by holding Canada, dragged us into world wars, and costed us hundreds of billions. They’re not an ally they’re a fucking parasite. But even putting aside my Anglophobia is it really worth it to prop up a dying empire and support them against a bunch of insurgencies when we could easily retain these areas in our orbit by backing independence? No. And make no mistake, while we could’ve slowed decolonization we could not stop it. All slowing it would do though is give the reds another way to fuck with us.

I say this with complete, unironic sincerity--evangelicals screeching about Trump and USAID is a good thing. A spectacular thing, actually. [...] For decades evangelicals have been drifting liberal/progressive, from the seminaries to the churches
Even if that weren't the case, I think it's vitally important to remember it will be necessary for DOGE to rip out the hearts and drink the blood of the very Republicans that are currently cheering it on before this is all over. I want to see just as much rending of garments and gnashing of teeth from Mitch McConnell or Steve Scalise as they slaughter their sacred cows and uncover their slush funds.

If I don't hear weeks of shrieking "but muh national security but muh terrorism but muh Christian values!" before the end of this, I'll consider DOGE a job only half done.

Britain might've look for an excuse to get involved regardless, but you could ask that of all participants.
Why did Germany need to invade Belgium, a neutral power, thus getting Britain involved?
Why did Austria-Hungary escalate from ultimatum to invasion after Serbia agreed to all but one of the demands?
Why did Germany give Austria-Hungary a blank cheque to do whatever retardation they wanted with the guarantee they'd help militarily?
You can pose 'why?' questions to every preceding action.
Why Crimean war? Because Russian expansionism.
Why destroy Ottomans from within? Because Britain and the Ottomans were at war.

Let's exhume John McCain's brain tumor and question it in a public hearing while we're at it. Ask it why it didn't kill the prick sooner.
 
Considering that Punk was a front to sell fetish gear, always.

They are so close to realizing, selling out in punk is the faggiest thing one can do. Relying on Reddit, a corporation, is the antithesis of punk. Punk got terrible when bad actors integrated into the communities and made it about consumerism rather than self reliance and the DIY philosophies; in my opinion.
 
I tend to give out a like when someone comes in going against the grain for those reasons, but I haven't been very impressed so far. Agitated Gerbil seemed like someone who's at least read a book, but when you think the Butler assassination attempt is an "obvious" psyop, most likely you're just retarded about how guns work on the level of Biden's "cops should shoot them in the legs to incapacitate them, not shoot to kill" thing.

Also, don't fucking accidentally tag HHH into politics general on superbowl night, that's just rude.
It’s okay I don’t mind.

It's also at the heart of what Punk is.

So right when the Sex Pistols were formed, got it.
