My god, it’s so petty, seriously.

If I were Canada, I’d make a new door on the Canadian side and then I’d build a brick wall right at the demarcation line. Let the Americans have their 40% of the building, devoid of books and stage. They’ll have a bunch of chairs to sit in.

Fucking enjoy.

Hmm I don’t know. Probably go back to Germany 1940 and give them all the information needed to develop nuclear weapons first. You just know that Hitler would’ve pushed the red button a hundred times over if he had the chance.

That’s not fascist at all.

Aufmachen!

It doesn’t fucking matter. Illegal or legal, they do not deserve to be sent to Gitmo. Nobody deserves to be sent there.

Or are you somehow arguing that concentration camps are fine, for some people. Then let’s hope you don’t belong to a group that becomes the other in the future.

And apparently they also arrest legal immigrants now. So eh… well done, I guess.

Well, but there is a pretty significant difference. For example, when the Nazis were planning to send all the German Jews to Madagascar, they were attempting an ethnic cleansing, meaning ‘just’ their removal - They didn’t care when Jews died, but it wasn’t their actual plan to slaughter them all. However, when the Madagascar Plan didn’t seem possible anymore, they switched to genocide in stead, meaning their extermination.

There is a incredibly huge difference between these two things. And please don’t get me wrong, they are both absolutely, unequivocally horrific. Unacceptable, period. But still this difference is important, especially for the victims. In hindsight, I’m sure many people would have wished the Nazis had been successful in their ethnic cleansing. Many more people would have survived.

What Israel has been doing is not ethnic cleansing. They’ve been systematically killing people for no other reason than “because we want to and we can.” I’d call that a genocide. What Trump is describing, however, is ethnic cleansing.

And just to reiterate, I’m not saying it’s not bad. It’s sickeningly bad. But quite different.

Can I ask? Why does Musk suddenly have this authority? “DOGE” isn’t even a real Department, right? And also, Musk hasn’t been elected or officially confirmed for any government position. Why the fuck is he giving orders and leading departments and having any power whatsoever over the U.S. Treasury and such? I don’t understand how this works. Why doesn’t the U.S. have any… I don’t know, safeguards against this sort of shit? It’s absolutely bonkers to watch this unfold from across the pond.

Musk just walked up, said “I’m in charge now” and everyone’s just complying? Please ELI5.

I found out that the best way to make (certain) people stop asking it is to just be entirely honest for a change.

Don’t say “I’m fine, thanks. And you?” Launch into a depressing tirade about everything that sucks in your life and the world. Trust me, they’ll never ask again.

Heavenly peace.

First the Jan. 6 Database, now CDC content… They’re just going to try to erase any and all information they don’t like, hmm? I hope every agency has everything quadruple backed-up at the very least.

I’m sorry for ruining the one tiny positive thing you thought you’d found.

From your article:

Houston criminal court records show that case was unresolved when Taake – out on $20,000 bail – participated in the attack on the US Capitol. According to the Chronicle, local prosecutors confirmed Friday that Taake was now considered a wanted fugitive in connection with the pending charge of solicitation of a minor. But Houston jail records showed he was not in custody as of three days later.

Attempts to contact Taake were not immediately successful. And his attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

So I guess he did get out? And now he’s a fugitive… Why didn’t they check this shit before they let him out?

Edit: clarity.

I think so. At least the third one I heard about. One was arrested on gun charges? The other was shot during a traffic stop. And now this.

Trump is obviously not sending his best.

I am completely shocked by this unexpected turn of events. He lied? How is this possible? I always thought fascists were the paragons of truth.

Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser and his son-in-law, praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property,” suggesting that Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area.

Source.

Further in the article he says this:

Additionally, Kushner suggested that he “would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there,” adding: “I know that won’t be the popular thing to do, but I think that’s a better option to do, so you can go in and finish the job.”

“I think Israel’s gone way more out of their way than a lot of other countries would, to try to protect civilians from casualties,” Kushner added.

Fucking ghoul.

Yeah, sounds like it’s basically just: “AUFMACHEN!” followed by detaining everyone who looks ‘suspicious.’

Sounds vaguely familiar… something that happened in the past somewhere?

Critics warn the move risks politicizing FCC authority and undermining press freedom.

Well duh, that’s the point entirely.

It’s a bit difficult to really hear (for me, as a non-native speaker anyway) because he… kind of swallows some of his words, or parts of them. So… and correct me if I’m wrong, I think he says:

“Sag mir, wie lange wollt Ihr bei dem Scheisse bleiben hier?”

Translated to something like: Tell me, how long do you want to stay with this shit? - As in, how long do I have to sit here and listen to this moron?

Can’t really blame him, haha.

Why does it matter the guy is Polish? Like, why even mention that? I never understood why people do this. What’s wrong with saying “Our repair guy sent […] ?”
