Why? The man loves Palestine and Gaza so much. We are just giving him what he always wanted. To go back home.

Free him back to whichever shithole he came from, he can fight the Israelis on the battlefield instead of screeching in the safety of the US.

 

[Frostnipped Todger]

I thought Melbourne was your version of San Francisco?

I think Sydney still holds that title.
But you can nuke both just to be safe.

Trump has sadly only cut a trivial amount of government excess; wants to end a foreign war, cut total bullshit, and add Tariffs which are taxes. Such small things that Keynes would have agreed with makes the stock market drop and people panic. This is why no US admin will ever get the debt under control.

I choose to believe.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Wait, what's the downside of tariffs again?

Donald Trump wants me to personally invade Canada? I’ll be his top guy me!?

My family in Michigan and Buffalo have kinda seen this coming regardless. Canuks have been grocery shopping in the US due to cheaper US goods in greater numbers for the past few years. They are really fucking annoying and have been complaining about how shit is getting worse in Canada.
Their government is likely losing a lot of tax revenue because the border hopping to shop in the US. The whole buy Canadian thing is likely about that tax revenue, too.

Pretty based I would say. Fuck it.

How much was opting in going to cost? If it's a meaningless gesture that was going to cost a ton of my taxpayer money then who cares, go shill to some other country. If it's a meaningless gesture that wasn't going to cost any of my taxpayer money then who cares, stop wasting our time.

What even is the "international day of hope"

If the US voted yes, would that have benefited ANYONE in the entire world?

No, nothing changed, noting will change because of some feel good UN resolution.

"Hope" for what, exactly? Lots of us are numb and jaded to almost everything we see because we realize how awful all of that is.

 

[Kulee Baba]

It doesn't matter. It was still part of the school curriculum.

In regards to the excerpt. Whether it’s infamous claims like the “holocoaster”, claims of advanced rape machines, or SS guards putting Jews into rockets and shooting it into the sun (this one I just imagined but I bet someone made that claim somewhere) the truth is yes people lied and exaggerated things. And why would they make up such things? For a multitude of reasons. I’m sure there were also a vast number of people who lied and claimed they survived the concentration camps for the sake of a grift.

To claim that the false accounts completely disprove the whole accepted Holocaust history is a vast leap in judgement. There’s so much extensive documentation in that era of history.

Please if you want to argue about this more just go to the Holocaust thread in Deep Thoughts. Arguments over this become an autistic game of verbal ping pong where users just endlessly go back and forth with different claims, statistics, and historians and there’s just no consensus or interesting discoveries made.

We are all so very tired of empty bullshit

Untrue, Andrew Tate loves em. And you will never convince me that little goblin isn't a pooner, even if he was born a man.

Hm.
Hypersexualized, posts about sucking cock, hates women, violent, probably a pedophile...

Yeah, yeah that tracks.

I feel like it's a prerequisite to be called a first world country to fucking hate your capital/largest cities
something about them acts to attract/create the worst individuals

Never heard of the holocoaster in school, and we never read this book.

What's this about egg prices dropping? I forgot people were talking about it since day one of Trump's admin

Politico Report: Harvard University has suspended all new appointments and faculty recruitment processes over fears of financial instability after the Trump administration halted $400 million in contracts and grants to Columbia University for failing to combat Anti-Semitism on its campuses.

I never got holocaust denial in total. Sure, you could go and argue it was in the low millions or something if you thought it was, but why would you argue it didn't happen at all? The people who seem to argue that most are the people who you'd have thought would be happy with the deaths of a few million juden.
