Wait, so government's don't waste taxpayer dollars on perks like free necessities of life for employees? Conservatives should be elated at the news.


This is the type of #### she'd be doing 5 part exposé on back on Fox and Fools, bringing to light how taxpayer money is wasted by bureaucrats. But now it's exactly how she'd want it, it's something to mock? You created this. ####ing enjoy it.

Shouldn’t we be celebrating the person who started this water program? A forward thinking capitalist! Think of the real winners here, the shareholders
I hear the DOW is up over 500.

So the war rumors are that Trump plans on attacking Iran soon. Great.

He's not going to wait until end of Olympics?

Thought it'd be a great temper tantrum move once US team loses in hockey.

China is banning hockey for Canadians on Saturday, so the US will win because we forfeited the game.

Get it straight, the orange baboon said China will eliminate hockey in Canada and the Stanley Cup, so this is an NHL thing and will not effect the Olympics.


####ing dummy says:

“Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive,” reads Trump’s Truth Social message. “We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.”

Last Winter Olympics featured Putin going to Beijing to kiss the ring and get Xi's blessing for the invasion of Ukraine, so why not, let's get another war started this time around.

Came across an interesting question about some of the guys in the Epstein files being accused of being pedophiles. If they’re not really guilty then why aren’t they suing for defamation? You’d think Trump, Musk, Lutnick, Gates, Clinton, et al would be making it publicly known that they’re taking people to court for this. I mean, at least that’s what I would think someone would do if they’re innocent.

Who would they sue ? The files were released and people are making assumptions on who they / what they represent .

But you can’t sue an email. And the only person who can validate or invalidate is dead

You had it.


No shortage of media organizations making claims. Plenty of targets, if they wanted to go there.

Trump sues the reporters and newspaper that reports it...

Trump is suing WSJ, Rupert Murdoch, and the writers of the story that exposed his birthday drawing to Epstein for $10 billion. In Murdoch's response, asking to dismiss the case, Murdoch said "Trump is too lewd a person to suffer reputational harm from this story."

People are openly calling out Trump et gang as pedophile child rapists. I don't think it is being done exclusively by anonymous people, and they can clearly subpoena social media companies if they want. It's just a little bit weird that they're not trying to take any legal action. I'd suspect that if somebody came onto an anonymous forum and blasted your real name and made claims of rape, you'd probably want to get it taken down and then find a way to take some legal action against whoever it was to clear your reputation.

The fascist military and civilian leadership in places like Romania and Hungary, which were not occupied countries but self governing Nazi satellites for most of the war, were not given the slap on the wrist the Germans were under the shared occupied zone. A lot of them, were they allowed to live, spent a decade in the gulag, along with thousands and thousands of Axis POWs on the Soviet side of the line. Stalin reopened Auschwitz for use as POW camp, and it housed prisoners until 1953.

FDR and Churchill were a lot more squeamish on what probably should have been done than Uncle Joe was, and he made good on it in a lot of cases.

Violent purges also followed the ouster of Juan Peron in Argentina to accompany cultural de-Peronification, a campaign that looked a lot like De-Nazification but seemed to have some teeth to it, for a time anyway.

The violent dismantling of the Shah’s regime following the Iranian revolution also didn’t see many people just shuffled off into new lives like you saw with the Nazis. Those not lucky enough to get out were subjected to mass incarceration and execution.

So it’s really more of a mixed bag. All depends on circumstance and the goals of whoever comes next.
True. That said, I think there's good reason to think US would go more the route of Greece and Spain.

Stalin also destroyed everyone with any political leanings basically. Even many communist partisan groups were destroyed.

This is very misleading. Yes the repercussions of collaborating with a foreign occupation force are traditionally ugly, but this is equally true whether we're talking about people who collaborated with the US in Afghanistan or people who collaborated with Germans in France.

If the US takes over Canada before their regime collapses, it's very likely Canadian collaborators would suffer worse than fascists inside the US.

They're building up in Eastern Europe. Officially it's for a NATO "exercise"

That thing is still happening? I figured it would fade away like many of his other "initiatives". Are we thinking these members actually paid him $1B dollar to be on it?
