Literally Auschwitz. The pictures are the same.

It also shows, they want the hostages dead. No way the hostages survive if Hamas starves to death.

Remember when Joe Lieberman basically mangled the ACA to ensure profitd for his insurance buddies?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Also the post-WW2 world order heavily favours their economy.

Their allies buy their debt, and their weapons. They give access to theiir markets to US companies, and support US wars around the world. They invest in the US economy in an unbalanced way that favours the US economy.

And all of this was in exchange for US security.

Exactly. Every time the UN does something, people say "they can't enforce it".

Well, that's the whole point of the UN. To resolve things without using force.

It's a good design, designed by people who learned from the horrors of WW2.

It's sad to see how many people nowadays forget those lessons and are itching for global war.

Yep, all the electrical engineers who have chimed in say it looks more like explosives.

A battery would get hot and start a fire. It wouldn't instantly explode like this.

They know this and encourage it.

Every time the Palestinians kill an Israeli, that gives them permission from the Americans to kill a thousand Palestinians.

And that's their plan to take all the land. Offer up a few thousand Israeli lives to genocide a few million Palestinians.

So he was 31 years old and he hasn't done it since. He is now 60.

Is this the best they got on him? Lmao

I think you are being a bit too harsh.

The point is that a PAC that used to raise money for, and support, Nikki Haley now supports Harris.

Which conceivably indicates that some of the Haley voters will switch to Harris.

That is newsworthy and it doesn't mean that Haley endorses Harris.

The humiliation of losing to a black woman.

The past months the mood in America has been: not these two old geezers again.

I am honestly optimistic that it's going to be a landslide for the Democrats without Biden. Americans are just sick of Trump and they didn't want Biden to run again.

So the Democrats are giving the people what they want, while the Republicans are trying to force feed them something they don't want.

Let's see how this plays out.

A somewhat less pessimistic take: the system is set up to be self-stable.

And it was also designed so that States would have most of the power, not the Federal government.

At various points in history the common people did get benefits. New Deal. Universal suffrage. Civil rights. Abolition.

But it always requires a critical mass of the population to support change.

Israel only bombs terrorists, not civilians.

Your German nationality will now be revoked for thinking the wrong thought.

Why make election season much longer than needed?

Printing ballots can be done quite quickly.

And is 6 months of campaigning really better than 2 months?
