I doubt they even know, or care, where he is anymore.

Once they got him off that plane and into that prison, they stopped keeping track.

True. But I’m going to give America some credit here. When they came in, they came in hard. Two of the hardest beaches in Normandy with the highest losses of any allied force during the landings. Front line in pretty much every major engagement from the moment they entered. I am anti-american in general, and no…I don’t think Germany would have won if they hadn’t gotten involved (the soviets bought our victory at the cost of 11,000,000 casualties…)

They committed more troops than any other country except the soviet union and germany itself. I’ll criticise a LOT of what the United States has become, but I would never ever in a million years claim that they had “barely taken any damage”, and in fact kind of take offence to the statement even though I’m not American.

I could see Oregon and Washington State throwing in with Cali, giving all of them a direct line to nice fresh Canadian Rocky BC Springs because we up here in Canada would be an instant ally of any states that broke off.

Half of Paris would already be ash.

And the U.S. got all the money to build up their industrial base by the fact that they were they only country able to give out loans to the European nations fighting in the First World War since every european country spent everything they had and then some fighting each other.

World War One represented the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. It was bigger than the economic exploitation by the British Empire of Africa, India and Asia combined. In four years, the U.S. basically held all the cards and (I know this is controversial) only ended up getting involved militarily when it seemed possible that the allies would lose and therefore be unable to pay off their loans.

And you know what…all credit to the Americans; they took that new found wealth and built up the strongest, most powerful industrial base the world had ever seen; an industrial base that, without which, the second world war would have been nearly impossible to win (Russian blood, British Strategy, American Industry…isn’t that the saying?)

It’s what they proceeded to do with that industrial base afterwards that lead us to where we are now.

The fact that McHitler hasn’t stroked out by now is all the proof I really need to say that there is no god directing all this shit.

What the fuck did the idiot THINK was going to happen?

His Big Mac was served cold on Monday.

it makes line go down.

You often see the question asked online “What radicalized you?”

For me, I was working for a telecommunications provider as a manager and was told that neither myself nor my staff would see any raises or bonuses that year because “the company didn’t make any money.”

The kicker being that the company made 6 billion that year. But because the money counters had projected them to make 7 Billion, and they didn’t hit it, giving out raises would make the stock price drop even more than it was already going to. Essentially, not enough profit, is the same as NO profit.

But you better believe the CEO and executives got their bonus that year.

So he’s basically telling the other billionaires to eat the cost of the tariff themselves and NOT pass them on to the consumer.

Trump really is stupid enough to start biting the hands that gave him his current position, all because Musk tells him to.

Defectors? Would they even admit it if it was?

I seem to recall there being a similar exclave in the east, Ontario or Manitoba or something. I remember it from COVID times but can’t remember its name.

The powers-that-be don’t give a shit about your meaningless protests. March as much as you want. Hold as many signs as you want. That only works when the people making the decisions actually care about what you think of them and actually worry about whether or not you will vote for them in the next election.

Neither of those things is true. They work for the billionaire class and they have no intention of having fair elections ever again. So they can safely say “fuck your protests”.

For all of it’s bullshit, there is one thing you can say about the J6 rioters; no one ignored them.

It’s well past time to learn that lesson. The fact that you all aren’t firebombing government buildings by this point is a disgrace from a population of so-called “don’t tread on me” proud Americans.

Trump is exactly stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds him.

"Bartell went on to say, “Hey…It’s cheaper than a divorce. m’iright or m’iright”, gave this reporter a fist-bump. Smacked the behind of a passing blonde and backed away while giving finger-guns.

We’ve reached out for comment. But so far, his motivation remains unclear."

Holy shit that is the most hilarious thing I’ve read today.

It’s not “unwitting”. It’s the entire point.

Is anyone else actually surprised that Orange fuck-face didn’t immediately rename it the “Trump Center”?

Yeah, I’m not arguing that. My point is simply that it has to start somewhere.

History disagrees with you.

No despot in history has ever fallen without violence. Hell, your own, country was built on that fact.

At exactly what point did America go from “the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots” to “this is an ineffective means of resolving things.”?
