establishing Israel
Israel being established had very little to do with the Holocaust. If it did, the UN/US/UK wouldn't have put arms embargoes on the region in 1947 and the British wouldn't have helped the Jordanians fight against the Zionists.

A federal judge has blocked Mahmoud Khalil’s deportation "unless and until the Court orders otherwise."

A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
 
We have not been a recession for years now. This is such a pathetic cope. Investors fucking hate the uncertainty that Trump is causing which is why stocks are going to shit. things were fine until he became president.
“Things were fine until he became president” yeah like all that money being shipped to usakastan to research trans-les-fag lectures, and the endless immigrantion that the last administration didn't even attempt to fix, oh and of course the proxy war that funded 3 years of pointless death in a forgion country. Tell me bud were you born stupid, or is this bait, because if it is bait then I think you should go back to the shop and ask for a refund.
 
I'm seeing this recent video "20 Trump Supporters Take On 1 Progressive (Sam Seder)" and its making rounds on the internet because they take a bunch of random conservatives that they probably got off the street to destroy and now its all "Conservatives are so uneducated" shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js15xgK4LIE&ab_channel=Jubilee
I see the opposite of "20 progressives vs. 1 MAGA".

I don't watch it because I have grown weary of such clickbait, even when it agrees with me.

The Biden administration redefined what a recession was so they could pretend we haven't been in one. Everyone who actually pays bills and buys groceries knows we've been in one. Going by the 2 quarters of negative growth we should have entered a recession and then had to get out of it by now.

Looking it up just now, the apparent cope was that unemployment numbers didn't reflect historic recession trends which we all know is bullshit. Even NPR acknowledged it and this happened multiple times throughout Biden's term.
The revised figures show total employment in March was 818,000 lower than had been reported, or 0.5% fewer jobs. That suggests employers added 2.1 million jobs during the previous 12 month, not 2.9 million as originally counted.

I agree with most here on the stock market but it will be interesting to see if it causes Trump to change course. He's very ego driven and a big part of that is being a pro-business President who can brag about X% increase in the markets under his admin. Elon and others have mentioned 'temporary' hardship going back to election time so maybe this is factored into The PlanTM.

At this rate and with these genius ideas they're going to be transported to the middle ages within 6 months.

He spoke in the SOTU about the hardship, so I say it’s factored. He knows there’s going to be some course correction.
 
Does Canada put VAT or sales tax on food?
My basic understanding is kinda. Certain stuff are except, but seem to have a value added tax. Some shit is not in order to encourage consumption of domestic goods, but most people I know who do the casual “shop at Costco and drive across the border” because it’s immensely cheaper even if you have to pay a tax.

Half of them typically “smuggle” in alcohol because it’s a lot cheaper and certain border crossing are legit incompetently guarded.

that'd be so based. lets try to make it two months. Maybe i can then take a Brigantine to the european caliphate
 
Maybe I'm wrong, but I had thought fascism was an Italian thing borne from Mussolini wanting a system that placed the head-of-state at the center of national interest. I'm not a particularly big politics buff. I'd like to be fact-checked on this.
Fascism is Italian in origin, yes and Mussolini wanted a strong government with a very powerful head of government. Private property is allowed and nationalism is everywhere. There is also the ideals of corporatism in trying to unite employers and employees while outlawing unions as well as elements of a command economy. Be aware though that in many ways that the ideas of Fascism didn't exist in a vacuum and that Mussolini himself was a Socialist before he went toward the right-wing side of politics. In conclusion consider this slogan that was said to be popular with his supporters: everything within the state, nothing outside the state, and nothing against the state.

Most people aren't interested in an actual conversation about what the ideology actually was, to them it's simply useful as an insult and little else.

You're absolutely right! Absolutely right. The recession didn't start until the trusted news sources with reputable and non-agenda driven journalists started writing about it. Since 2020, the line was just going up! Now im broke and destitute having to sell my onahole to make ends meet. And its all Trumps fault, and solely his administrations fault that i have to get buttfucked for ebt cards
No recession yet. Just all the precursors which are being put in place for no reason at all other than to placate a massive ego. Fake news isn’t the Dow tanking - it’s real no matter what universe you live in. And it’s cause has nothing to do with the stink from Biden’s farts lingering either.

Perhaps he has 3 red buttons in the office ;

1. Diet coke
2. Tariffs
3. Launches

These videos are always meant to reaffirm your preconceived notions in the most junk-food-ish way possible (and they always cut the conversation off whenever it gets interesting)
