I was just thinking the other day about that one news anchor who got into some shit for saying that she hopes that the little brain cancer kid doesn't kill himself someday like the 6* capitol police officers after Jan 6th, and I thought that was a statement worth pondering.

The idea, completely divorced from the situation wtih the kid, is that these capitol police killed themselves because of January 6th. Suicide. They couldn't stand the anguish of... "preventing an insurrection"? They were overcome by the shame of... failing to keep people out of a bilding? They had extreme PTSD from... a 2 hour long shoving match outside? They felt abandoned by.. the largest federal law enforcement action in US history, involving more than 4 years and half of all FBI agents in arresting people for misdemeanor trespass?

What the fuck could have been done that day by MAGA people that would make someone so upset that they had to kill themselves? I mean, according to that news lady's narrative, these people were heroes who basically saved the world. Why would the worlds greatest heroes kill themselves? How does that make any sense? "I got insurrectioned so bad that I ain't gonna never recover and now I gotta die. Only way bros." That's really what they want people to believe?

*It weren't actually 6 who killed themselves, I don't think. I know there were at least 2 who did, but one guy had a stroke, and another guy had a heart attack from shoveling snow (insanely common thing). So the woman is also wrong/lying about that thing too.
Did anybody ever tally up the number of cop suicides from the months after the Floyd riots?

Bro, at least post a link to the article in the screenshot so we can read what the fuck you are talking about. I can find it myself but it literally takes two seconds to do and it will improve your posts.
 
In an ideal world your average person would be able to judge their leaders actions without bias. I didn't like Biden. He didn't try to grift his supporters. I didn't like kamala. She wasn't on the epstein list. The right has tried to make people see reason, it hasn't worked. America used to be anti-russia. Talk about a psyop.
Most people aren't as biased in favor of Trump as the people in this thread. I don't think Trump is pro-Russian though.
 
Cool. Where is that money gonna come from Europe? And when you say "mobilize" what exactly are you talking about here? Are you actually gonna get guns and ammo and boots on the ground or are you gonna spent even more on "intelligence gathering" that only seems to look inside your own countries and endless bureaucratic memes that never go anywhere?
You needed British guns n boots on the ground to find frikkin scud missiles.

I think you were misremembering the idea to link to articles you quote, because they scrape places for copied articles. If you link to the original -not only is it good behavior towards others- it keeps the suits from eye of sauroning the post for infringement. Because you linked to their site too.
 
How are they going to pay for it? Europe's entire ego rests on their welfare state. How will their citizens react when they can't wait 12 hours with a TBI to get free healthcare anymore?
A lot of funds would have to be reallocated. I think Starmer brought up cutting foreign aid to help support the UK’s increase, ironic. Still also remains to be seen if they’ll even do it. Most of the states have been neglecting defense even after the invasion, I think there was a report the German army is in worse condition now then when the invasion started.
