*tips le fedora to cover le mantears*
Misandry is having the court take custody of your children taken from you and given to your ex-wife even though anyone with half a brain can see she’s not fit to be their guardian
Misandry is entire countries having laws and crime definitions that specifically and only punish men.
Misandry is demanding men not receive the same government funded abuse shelters as women have because of a personal opinion on only men being capable of domestic violence.
Misandry is ten thousand boys being murdered for being boys by terrorists with little to no media coverage, while just 200 girls being kidnapped by the same terrorists in the same areas get constant media attention and support from celebrities and politicians alike to protect them.
Misandry is having to sit in the principal’s office, bleeding from multiple scratches across the face, arms, and chest, covered in dirt and bruised to shit, and having to *apologize* to the girl who pushed you to the earth and attacked you for not wanting to play with her, because you gave her a black eye while trying to get her off of you.
Misandry is glorifying or ignoring women’s crimes, laughing or shifting blame whenever they murder, rape, or steal.
Misandry is going after people funding shelters for men, tearing down people who even try to help them, because they’re all “demons serving the patriarchy”.
Misandry is exploiting gender stereotypes in order to ruin people’s lives.
Misandry is being forced into a role, locked out of the luxury of certain choices that are basically guaranteed to be accessible to the other 50% of people in the world.
Misandry is the fact that it’s considered misogynistic to talk about any of the above problems, and feminists like @apupcalypse mock and belittle us for doing so.
Misandry is hearing of all of this shit happening to males and somehow still blaming it on males and the oh so infamous “Patriarchy”, like @c0wt00ls just demonstrated.
"Israel attacked first" I am begging you to look up what actions actually qualify as acts of aggression and uses of force beyond the literal "who shot first"
Just the basics of the international laws of war makes that talking point pretty silly - without even making any arguments about how broken and dated self defence as defined by art. 51 of the UN charter is (or how broken international law is in general.)
The 1967 war is a great example, because it's such a commonly accepted narrative that Israel started the war, which is laughable when you consider what actually led up to the start of the war:
Closing the Strait of Tiran to all Israeli shipping, a.k.a. a naval blockade? (see Rome statue art. 8) Not aggressive.
Constant rhetoric from Syria, Egypt, et.al. threatening and promising to invade Israel in order to exterminate the state? (see UN charter art. 2(4) Not aggressive
Israel's neighbours Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Iraq forming an armed alliance? Not aggressive.
Trying to - in a desert region - divert the Jordan river from Israel? Not aggressive.
Funding, training, supplying and facilitating Palestinian insurgency forces to attack Israel? (see UN charter art. 2(4), Rome art. 8) Not aggressive.
Mobilising Egyptian troops on the Israeli border? Not aggressive.
Expelling UN forces from Egyptian territory bordering Israel? Not aggressive.
Israel seeing all this, knowing that an existential war on all fronts is going to start any minute, knowing that Jordan's air force could reach Jerusalem in like 10 minutes, and therefore striking first as to not immediately get eliminated? Super duper aggressive
You'll forgive me for not taking your arguments about Israeli pre-emptive strikes seriously.
I'm so obsessed with the Six Day War because it's such a simple litmus test for if your brain is rotted with antisemitism or not.
Because if you're a deranged lunatic it's great proof that the Jews control the world / that America is the only thing keeping the Arab states from obliteraring Israel [obviously you, like Syria, Egypt, Jordan and the rest of the Arab world after the war, refuse to accept that America only started backing Israel only after the war]
But then you read just a little about the specifics of the war and it's super funny, because at the end of the day, the core reason Israel humiliated its enemies so completely is basically just that, like.... the IDF was more meritocratic. And had something called good morale.
Having read the blurb about Israel's conventional wars, here is my simple recipe for being good at war:
Good morale
Meritocracy
Improv
Have no territory
Never take advice from the Soviets
Do you want to know what happens when your army is modelled after the Soviets, as in, it's hyperhierarchical, and military command is decided on political appointment?
You get an army where taking individual intiative is seen as suspect and is actively encouraged.
You also get an army where you're disincentivised to give your superiors bad news, which is how you end up with Nasser fully believing his generals when they tell him that they crushed the Israeli air force without mentioning that they also now had no air force left.
And then Nasser tells the whole Arab world that Israel is losing badly, so now Syria and Jordan are convinced that Egypt is winning, so then they also attack Israel and also immediately lose.
Infantry soldiers that are only trained to follow orders no matter what sounds good in theory if you're a Soviet general, I guess.
The only hitch is that wars are like, pretty messy in actual reality, so being able to improvise and like adapt to changing conditions is actually pretty useful.
The other thing is that it's actually really, really good for morale when the motto for military command is "follow me", and not "forward". When you know that your commanding officer hasn't also been in your position, and was only appointed because his uncle is tight with some general, you're not gonna be quite as eager to risk your life when ordered to do so.
All of that becomes kind of a problem, it turns out, when you're fighting an army where military appointments are like, ridiculously meritocratic, and taking initiative and thinking on your feet is actively encouraged. As it turns out it's pretty useful to be able to, you know, adapt to reality.
[You can see how much worse the Soviet model was by just looking at how much better the Jordanian military fared against Israel [the Jordanians inherited a Brittish military structure] compared to Egypt and Syria.
For example, the Syrian offensive during the Yom Kippur War went really well - at first, because they had a good plan to follow, but then the plan is done so they just stop in the middle of the offensive to wait for new orders from Cairo.
In comparison, after defeating the Jordanian advance in Jerusalem, the Israelis on the ground realised that they could keep going and take more territory. So they just... did that.]
Add to that, that your enemy has zero strategic depth [as in, has a territory the size of New Jersey that is like ~10 km (~6 miles) wide at its narrowest.] People don't seem to really think about how much strategic depth changes military strategy.
If the enemy air force can reach your major population centers in like 0 minutes after taking off, the ONLY way to defend yourself is to be as agressive as possible.
Which is why Israel launches a pre-emptive strike, not because they were the belligerent party in this conflict.
No matter how big your country is it really sucks to fight a war on your own territory. But it's something else entirely when your infantry at the front can turn around and basically see their own house.
That, unsurprisingly, makes regular soldiers super fucking motivated to win, without even taking into account the constant awareness that losing would mean the obliteration of not just you, but the entire country - a very real scenario when you or your parents may very well have survived the Holocaust only around 20 years earlier.
This isn't even mentioning how Israel actually understood that they needed to understand their enemies and gather as much knowledge and intel on them as possible, while Syria and Egypt are so blinded by their antisemitism to take any interest in understanding Israeli society and would rather have their military intelligence agencies keeping track of what its own officers were doing, because their antisemitism made it so that they refused to take Israel seriously as an adversary.
Or that the Soviets kept telling them that Israel was preparing to attack based on [???], and they believed them.
Another advice for being good at war: keep preparing all the time.
Israel spent about a decade creating (and constantly updating) a map of the entire Egyptian air force, including air base location, runway directions, amount of planes, radar locations etc, and had a plan to be able to just fucking destroy Egypt's air force in 10 minutes when needed.
Why do all that when you know your enemies are weak, stupid Jews [and also at the same time devious and underhanded], said Nasser, smugly.
Why learn about your enemy when you already know everything you need to know, which is that you Don't Like Them? Why have a detailed map of the enemy territory when you could just look at this and Manifest Victory
this is more for the western public but when we speak of the '67 Arab-Israeli war i just want the western public to reflect that this was an ethnicidal war against judaism. against holocaust survivors and real refugees that though called now "european colonizers" had no jewish empire or homeland to return to safely. that's what the jews call shoah "catastrophe" it didn't just affect "a gorillion" people it affected every european-residing jewish family. imagine every family in your nation spanning an entire continent suffered that and then back in your original homeland you suffer this. the people who are now called refugees by UNRWA, the arabs who acquired the label of palestinian politically to teach them blood-martyrdom, passed as a national aspiration, call them colonizers to justify their ethnic cleansing. they failed and rejected compromise and now they accuse the other side of ethnic cleansing like the germans could accuse the slavs of ethnic cleansing for there not being germans in the areas of the german empire in eastern europe in the interwar period. so the arabs lost this war and that's why the holocaust was not completed basically. that's their nakba "catastrophe". please compare shoah-nakba. the nakba is the failure to complete the shoah. and where qatar now calls israel the globohomo liberal menace egypt then called israel the nihilistic socialist menace and the soviet empire said they were the right-wing deviant nationalistic menace but neither care about politics they care about jews. they can't be more explicit when they're local and uneducated like the taliban or the houthis that are around today literally say "curse the jews". like think about that next time you infantilize palestinian radicalization and expect some superhuman ability of people not to radicalize when the odds are existential i don't like the israeli far-right i don't like illiberals but i simply think jews are human and they killed many of the jews who were not pro-national homeland and not pro-armed defense, and that's apparently gonna make you feel insane today if you have any kind of historical literacy. if you're anti-israel and have access to social networks you are exactly where iran wants you to be and the current conflict is an iranian-israeli conflict so why the fuck are you not doing better. with love but being antizionist necessitates being antisemitic historically and in practice and it is so stupid. do better.
By: Fern Sidman The revelation of two internal Hamas documents, recently declassified by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and translated by N
It gets worse (emphasis mine):
“For Anne Herzberg, NGO Monitor’s legal adviser, the evidence is even more damning. “The documents show they had to report to Hamas. They had to provide Hamas the names of those working for them. They knew they were being monitored by Hamas,” she told JNS.
Herzberg added that it was disingenuous for the ICRC to insist it raised concerns privately while reserving its public outrage exclusively for Israel. “Covering for Hamas only encourages the terror group to continue using hospitals as human shields,” she said.
The memos also illustrate Hamas’s paranoia about foreign NGOs potentially serving as intelligence conduits for Israel. The ISM documents reveal that Hamas’s Interior Ministry insisted on pre-approving NGO staff, restricting their movements, and assigning security escorts to foreign medical teams.
In short, NGOs in Gaza were compelled to operate entirely on Hamas’s terms, ensuring the terror group retained tight control of their activities. As the JNS report noted, this system made NGOs unwitting—or perhaps willing—participants in Hamas’s weaponization of humanitarian infrastructure.”
Yeah. There’s no plausibility for anyone, no matter how dense, not to know those hospitals were sheltering Genocide The Jews Inc when they literally had to report to and generally asskiss Genocide the Jews Inc.
“Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this.”
Donald Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Jeffrey Epstein — and told him to “focus on” the disgraced financier’s “evil” accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a newly released FBI document.
According to the summary of an October 2019 interview of Michael Reiter, who served as the wealthy Florida enclave’s top cop from 2001 to 2009, the future president was “one of the very first people to call when people found out” that authorities were investigating Epstein for sex with girls as young as 14 whom he had hired to give him massages.
“Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Trump was quoted as telling Reiter on the call, adding that he “got the hell out of there” on one occasion when he was around Epstein while teenagers were present.
The summary, first reported by the Miami Herald, added that Trump told Reiter he “threw” Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago and that “people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.”
Trump also referred to Maxwell as “Epstein’s operative,” telling the chief “she is evil and to focus on her.”
Reiter’s name is redacted in the interview summary, but details in the document match up with publicly known information about his role in the Epstein probe.
According to the chief, he met Epstein after the financier reported one of his employees for stealing from him.
Reiter recounted that Epstein donated $40,000 to the department for the purchase of a machine to review security footage, cut a $90,000 check (never cashed) to buy a fingerprinting machine around the time his first victim came forward, and gave “more than others” to a police scholarship fund for children.
When Reiter inquired about Epstein, he claimed to have been told that the financier “supports law enforcement and is an important guy.”
The Palm Beach Police Department began receiving reports about Epstein “[i]n the early 2000’s, maybe 2003,” according to the summary. Eventually, Reiter said, his officers put together a sprawling case against Epstein, including “sexual battery cases against the co-conspirators.”
However, Reiter recalled that state prosecutors “said the victims were not credible and would show their MYSPACE pages and such. They would refute minute details in the probable cause affidavit … This case died at the state level.”
The summary of the FBI interview of Reiter was included in millions of files that have been released by the Justice Department in connection with the case of Epstein, who pleaded guilty to Florida charges of soliciting a minor for sex in 2008 under a controversial non-prosecution agreement that saw him serve 13 months in prison, much of that time on work release.
Epstein was arrested by the FBI in July 2019 and charged with sex trafficking, but was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell the following month while awaiting trial.
The document emerged hours after Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a closed-door virtual deposition before the House Oversight Committee.
The 64-year-old UK-born socialite declined to answer questions about her friendship with Epstein or her role in the trafficking of young women and girls.
An attorney for Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence at a medium-security Texas facility, said following the testimony that his client would speak freely if she is granted clemency by Trump.
The White House has said no such action is under consideration, with Trump telling reporters in July that he would “take a look at it.”
“I wouldn’t consider it or not consider it. I don’t know anything about it,” he said at the time. “I will speak to the DOJ.”
New reports from Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee (MDRC) raise questions about whether proper assessments, thorough exploration of suff
I’m a big source person, and this is indeed something that happened, and it’s even more terrible with more context. She begged to not be killed, and asked for palliative care, which they said they could not provide. This isn’t the only case like this if you read the entire article.
Out of curiousity as an outsider, why do some people don't like ICE? Didn't they merely arrest illegal criminals? Or is there a context missing here?
They only go after people who break immigration law and they can detain and search people crossing the border.
The side who hates ICE hates them because they have decided to embrace illegal immigration and that’s really all there is to it.
The majority of our illegal immigrants are from Mexico and other North American/South American countries so to American leftists these are all perfect and innocent MiNoRiTiEs who can do no wrong even though there is a surplus of drug and sex trafficking that comes with illegal immigration but they choose to ignore all that. They think all illegals immigrants are only here because they are starving and oppressed and just want to feed their families but that is far from the truth. In fact, anyone illegally crossing the border with a child should be apprehended immediately just because of the sheer amount of sex trafficking that is taking place through this process.
Because they see everything through the lens of race, they have no real knowledge of illegal immigration and just see people with brown skin. And arresting anyone with a skin color that isn’t white is racist, no matter what crime the person has committed.
So that’s why they hate ICE. They are deeply ignorant and have decided that ICE are just evil racists because when they don’t understand something, they just make up reasons. And their made up reason is always that whatever they don’t like just must be racist.
And the democrat politicians hate ICE because when we have illegal immigrants the dems are always giving them free resources and allowing them to vote in our elections and they always vote for democrats. So to democrats, this is millions of free votes that are being jeopardized.
Important edition, I feel, is that this is all on the backs of years of declaring
1) that nazis are ok to kill
2) anyone doing this is nazis
this leads to aggressive confrontation with ICE, and any action the ICE agents take to defend themselves, continue their work, or to maintain security at the site of their operation is not just violent, but proof that they are evil, and the lefties are good.
This has led to two deaths, which are now being used to justify further escalation and violence against basic immigration enforcement.
So for more of a real argument against the behavior of ICE —
They don’t only target people who have committed immigration violations. There are many examples of them detaining random people of the street and making little effort to identify these people — giving lie to the claim that ICE has been targeting the worst of the worst.
Even when they are “targeting” some suspected illegal immigrants, can’t help but sweeping several hundred here legally and making an international incident over it.
One Korean American leader described a 'sense of betrayal' after the high-profile work site raid of Korean automaker Hyundai.
Their leadership has advocated clearly unconstitutional polices about searching for illegal immigrants door to door (without warrants).
Federal immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judge’s warrant, according to an intern
But most of all, Americans generally don’t like having masked dudes just wandering the streets hassling people.
Adding to this to say the administration is willing to outright lie about the facts of the ICE shootings despite video evidence to the contrary in order to twist the narrative in ICE's favour.
These lies further damage public perception of the organisation.
I am glad @spitethestate commented and wrote all this because this is an example of exactly what I and others have been saying - people are fed the wrong information and they do not understand the immigration law and what ICE is doing so they go with the headlines and the sensationalism.
I’m glad to have this to walk through to show how the lies spread and how people just accept them without question and without working knowledge of what they are talking about
Like if we take the bit posted about Stephen Miller, anyone looking at it can clearly see it’s not the full quote. So we’re missing context. And it’s a third party source quoting from a third party source. Which proves this person did not fact check or research this incident at all before attempting to use it as evidence for their very weak argument. And out of context quotes with only third party sources to back them up is a common tactic used by people who don’t know how to actually research and validate information or who are intentionally leaving information out. Always be highly skeptical of anyone who makes arguments like that. And I’m not just talking about the people above. The sources they chose to link here are using the exact same tactics.
For more of an insight into Stephen Miller’s comment, anyone with critical thinking skills can deduce that this is not about harassing people on the street, it’s about enforcing immigration law consistently and visibly.
Places like Home Depot and convenience stores are known for routinely hiring under the table. Everyone knows it. The employees, the customers, local governments, etc. it’s not a secret. Ignoring these locations essentially allows a shadow labor market to operate outside the law.
It’s about deterrence. If we don’t enforce it in the obvious places then the law becomes meaningless. It creates an incentive for employers to bypass hiring legal workers and it’s unfair to citizens who have to go through background checks, paperwork, and long waits to work legally.
“Even when they are “targeting” some suspected illegal immigrants, can’t help but sweeping several hundred here legally and making an international incident over it.”
This is a non-argument and makes no case against ICE. This is just how law enforcement works. When you are investigating things, it’s inevitable that people not involved or not guilty of anything get caught up in the mix. And once that’s discovered they are allowed to go free.
But this person is framing it like it’s some kind of intentional malicious act on their part. Which is a dishonest way to argue
This user clearly doesn’t understand what an ICE raid is if their argument is “look - people here legally were detained!” It is further evidence of their ignorance. It is the job of ICE to enforce immigration law so performing a raid (which are just investigations, not a random attack where they just barge in and start arresting people like some would you like to believe) is not a point against them. They performed a raid at a place suspected of immigration or labor violations. And of course if you are in a place that is actively under investigation you will be “detained” during the process. They have to verify identity and legal status. Being temporarily detained during an investigation does not mean someone is in trouble or will be deported.
The last claim is sources solely with CNN so that alone should be a warning sign to not take it seriously without
ICE has what are called administrative warrants, which are only given after final orders of removal has been issued. And these orders come after things like notices, hearings, appeals and reviews by an immigration judge in an immigration court. At that point, they are legally required to leave the country and become fugitives if they do not. Congress explicitly authorized DHS and ICE to issue administrative warrants to carry out removals. Requiring a separate criminal style search warrant for every removal would basically allow them to nullify court orders by staying inside their home.
These are not cases of ICE making random arrest decisions. They are executing court orders.
“But most of all, Americans generally don’t like having masked dudes just wandering the streets hassling people.”
More than anything else, this is the person telling you in their own words why their opinion should be dismissed outright. Any American who genuinely thinks ICE is just “masked dudes wandering the streets and harassing people” is displaying an inexcusable level of ignorance about ICE, how it operates, and immigration law in general. Once you see that, roll your eyes and move on. They’ve just told you how little they actually know.
They framed this as a “real argument” and then threw out a partial quote about going to Home Depot and 7-Eleven without giving any explanation of the reasoning behind it. They deliberately stripped it of context so it would sound like ICE was being instructed to terrorize random people at those locations. Because that’s exactly what they want you to think.
Then they followed it up with a sensationalized headline about a raid where people who were here legally were “detained,” without explaining what “detained” actually means in the context of a raid or even what an ICE raid is. After that, they posted another headline claiming ICE can enter homes without a judge’s warrant, conveniently leaving out the type of warrants ICE actually uses, again to push the idea that ICE is just barging into homes and arresting random people.
Finally, they reduced ICE to “masked men harassing people in the streets,” which was the nail in an already tightly sealed coffin. This so called “real argument” only proves my point: people hate ICE because they are ignorant
And I also want to give a shout out to the ignorance from @realsillywizard. They just popped in here to claim the administration lied about a shooting to twist a narrative without telling you what the alleged lie is. They expect you to believe them just because they said it. Because that’s how they operate. They will believe anything they are told if it confirms their bias.
These people are wrong, they are ignorant, and they are on the wrong side which is they have to defend their positions with egregious disinformation.
Israel knows they don’t have the equipment to retrieve bodies because Israel destroyed the machines themselves, leaving over 10,000 Palestinians buried under rubble. This is an excuse to violate the ceasefire, again.
You know it’s pretty sick to look at Israel wanting their DEAD HOSTAGES BACK, and instead of being sympathetic you… BLAME ISRAEL for getting angry that Hamas won’t give them their DEAD HOSTAGES back.
Why the FUCK does Hamas even have hostages in the first place? What part of “resistance” involves killing hostages and holding them for 2 years????
Stop defending terrorists. Hamas WANTS the fight. And everything they do hurts the Palestinian people. Hamas doesn’t care about them. Hamas just wants to kill Jews. Stop defending terrorists.
First thing Hamas did when the ceasefire went into effect is execute Palestinians in the street for resisting their rule. There are literally videos of them doing so.
Op is a fucking idiot if they think rubble is the reason Hamas hasn't given back the corpses of the hostages. Hamas never gave a fuck about any possible dead Palestinians, whether buried under rubble or not.
Also, I like how op says this like it's Palestinians in general holding the corpses instead of Hamas.
plenty of Nazi collaborators got executed as well without due process since the resistance didn't even know the Nuremberg trials were a possibility before it.happened? Also, ignoring the fact you are white washing genocide collaborators which not even mainstream media did on their headlines, what logic are you trying exactly? that because Hamas killed Palestinians it now gives the must moral army on earth justification for the dozen violations of the ceasefire Israel did?
so you admit there hostages under the rubble together with those the IDF deemed as terrorists, don't see how that helps whatever argument you are trying to make but is good you have some connection to reality. And genuinely, why wouldn't rubble be a barrier? as much as wanna believe hamas is antisemitic,
also, why did the IDF blame Hamas for executing a hostage when indepedent analysis comissioned by the parents of the hostage disproved the autopsy by Israel and shows they suffered suffocation because Israel threw a gas bomb on the hideout which killed all people present? why did they lie that a child was killed and then the child turn out to be alive?
no they aren't saying or implying anything of the sort? were in school during Bush era? they are saying no one at all has the ability to retrieve corpses of no one because Israel flat bombed the entiretity of Gaza, and and obvious Kafka trap Israel is doing by closing the border while demanding something that can only be objectively done by the border being open and Israel be the ones to do it since they have the actual resources to do it.
you are projecting your own collective blame of the Palestinians unto someone else for outsourcing of that very collective blame narrative.
Shoujo, I knew you were a bit on the nutter side, but I did not expect you to be a full-blown anti-israel nutjob who thinks "executing collaborators" is okay just cuz you compare Israel to the Nazis. Nor did I expect to completely ignore Hamas' antisemitism and treat it like it's not an undeniable fact.
And Israel reentering Gaza would be a violation of the ceasefire, buddy. 🤣 Just as Hamas not giving back the corpses is a violation of the ceasefire. As was them attacking an Israeli vehicle. It's also false that Gaza is flattened, there are literally entire sections of the strip still intact enough to allow bakeries to run for the last several months at LEAST. It is very odd that someone complaining about Israel supposedly violating the ceasefire wants them to violate the ceasefire to get their dead hostages back (which of course is only a violation under the assumption Hamas has not already broken the damn ceasefire. Which they have).
There's a lot more to unpack here, but I'm just not gonna bother. Interpret that however you please, I'm sure you'll just scream "genocide supporter" no matter what I say anyway.
Also..."collaborators" is doing a LOT of unproven heavy lifting here.
If Hamas thugs weren't taking this opportunity to settle their own, internal grievances and power struggles by murdering rivals (and people they just don't like, or whose propety/position they covet) under the guise of dealing with "collaborators" they'd be the first violent organization EVER not to do so.
With the definition of 'Collaborators' as 'people opposed to the military junta that took over Gaza two decades ago and has refused the citizens the right to choose their own government'.
anti-nuclear idiots won't tell you this but only 1 guy has ever died from radiation in the entire US nuclear power industry from its inception to the modern day.
Isn't the bigger concern what happens when things go wrong and the plant has a meltdown?
A problem that we've also successfully solved in multiple ways. Best of all being Thorium reactors which literally shut themselves down before they get out of hand.
Modern designs can't melt down. Even older designs required several people to do several very wrong things over a period of time while ignoring warnings and disabling safety systems.
Half the folks that hate nuclear are basing it on something approximately this dumb:
Ironically fear of nuclear meltdown is preventing us from replacing older plants with newer, safer plants that (as noted above) cannot meltdown. We could eliminate the thing people are scared of if only they'd stop being entirely irrational about it for two seconds.
And we'd get an abundant source of clean, cheap energy too.
This would only be funny if it wasn't exactly what FEMA did under Biden after the floods. Because it's always projection with Dems. 8/10 the things they scream that the "other side" is doing, either they are doing it, were doing it, or did it first and don't like when it's done back to them.
This is going to be fun, I don't care how much you hate the guy if you have even a tiny sliver of integrity what the BBC did should enrage you, they deserve this.
They didn't just edit out a few words in between. They spliced together two clips recorded almost an hour apart. And the fact that they aired that edited recording right before the 2024 election... This is, unequivocally, state-sponsored election interference.
'we're going to walk on down to the capital and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women'

there is no way that was not done on purpose and I have to wonder how bad the TDS was for the people that did it to potentially have thought they could get away with it.
Trust in journalists can't get much lower than it is now at this point, and I have no clue how they could bring it up at all.
Friendly reminder that the Republicans in Congress have passed a clean CR (a bill that would reopen the government and continue funding it exactly as it was being funded before the shutdown, no cuts, no additions) and all that is needed is for Democrats in the Senate to vote yes.
