There's posts popping up on Xitter that the IGO Anti-Boycott Act, was pulled from House vote.


This bill expands an existing anti-boycott law to include certain boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations (IGOs).

Current law prohibits various actions by U.S. persons (individuals or entities) in relation to boycotts imposed by foreign governments on a country which is friendly to the United States and that is not itself the object of a U.S. boycott. This bill applies those prohibitions to similar boycotts imposed by IGOs.

Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.

The bill also requires the President to annually submit to Congress and make available to the public a report describing these boycotts and listing the foreign countries and international organizations involved in fostering or imposing them.

The bill would basically punish people/companies who boycott Israel.

Yes. That’s what I voted for.

This is a funny take because I was just thinking how if Biden had done this, y'all would be mocking the shit out of him right now. But because it's y'all's lord and Savior Trump, it's based.

No it's stupid as hell. Star Wars sucks ass, and has sucked ass for most of my life. What's based, is how one stupid little picture is making all of the worst people seethe.

Oh, hai Mark.

In exchange for one goofy AI-generated image and some text saying "we are the good side and you are the bad side", we get all this liberal rage for free. It's a bargain, Star Wars or not.

Canada, BTFO.

Tons of bigger budget TV shows film in Canada. They get incentives from the Canadian govt, plus shooting on location is cheaper up there. That's why TV shows will show a location that's supposed to be in the American south or small town California, but it looks like British Colombia.

Hannibal had a couple scenes that were supposed to be in West Virginia and a few midwest states, but the trees and landscape were clearly way, way north. They showed ice fishing that was supposed to be in the middle of Northern Virginia not far from the Pentagon for gods sake.

this is unironically how groypers/modern Nazis see hitler and how he's described in Europa the last battle

they genuinely believe hitler was a separate but equal segregationist who wanted everyone to be friends

hilariously hitler complains about these third world types in Mein Kampf

People in LA have been complaining for years about the movie studios outsourcing to other countries. That is just telling the studios to make their stuff in America again.

Yes. Hollywood lately has given up its production control. If they shot in LA they have to put up with gay California and LA taxes, the unions, and ya know, hire Americans.

A chunk of films are filmed in Vancouver or Georgia because they have tax incentives.

it’s never just “one”. The entire media presence is AI slop and soulless. I would take Biden the shadow puppet government any day over below bare minimum effort.

Remind me how many times Biden did any interviews or livestreams to the American public? Please tell me how the corpse controlled by a bunch of deepstate globohomo elites was a better option than Trump is

It reminds me of this meme.

I actually recalled this meme recently, I personally think it's a poorly-executed meme among a bunch of funny right wing memes. Italians don't remotely look black, and Spanish speaking and Catholic =/= Mexican by default. Unless this is mocking dumb American skinheads trying to do Hitler apologia. (Re: Franco, perhaps he could possibly have had some distant Arab ancestry given the Muslims controlling Iberia for a long time way back when? - Other than that possibility, he's Japhetic as far as I'm concerned.)

It's completely impractical to open Alcatraz again. It didn't close because we suddenly had no criminals to house; it closed because it's HUGELY expensive to upkeep, being that it's in the middle of the bay and exposed to salt and damp weather and all that. Everything on the rock rusts and collapses quickly and it wasn't cost-effective even back in the 60s. I get that it's a cool visual and all that, but really doubt this one will move forward.

Ok so first off, no clue what the fuck Japhetic is. Is that like a pathetic Jap? Anyway, I like the meme and I don't really think the motive matters. I do think it's mocking Hitler apologia for what it's worth.
