Considering the evil their ideology allows to blossom, you might imagine neoliberals are ghouls, but they can be very sympathetic. Unfortunately, their sympathy is strangely misplaced. They won’t shed a tear for the 73 million children killed each year by abortion. But they do memorialize roadkill:

Bram Koese of Holland goes farther, having enlisted 25 assistants to help out in his roadkill memorial activities:

Just in case Dutch motorists cannot find a better use for their time.

If anyone tried doing the same for aborted children in the Netherlands, they might be thrown in prison.
That's pretty silly but what does this have to do with America? And why are you so angry? They're just a bunch of little roadkill crosses. Its performance art.

My problem with this (other than it being ugly) is that roadkill isn't the result of malice or even negligence, it's a complete accident. There is no thought to be taken away here, like advocacy for nature preserves, better highway design or some improvement an onlooker can make while driving. It's just pointless browbeating, an obsession with punishment.
 
I'd actually appreciate an explanation of this, too. I noticed some protestors holding TACO signs in Lou Gagliardi's thread the other day, and I thought they were just expressing solidarity with Mexico or something.
Because Mexicans = tacos. They unintentionally are racist by trying to be not racist. It's amazing. :story:
 
Trump Always Chickens Out
The worst insult in the history of politics.


That's what they tried on this, amazing.

There's so many layers of why it's stupid, from tacos themselves being positive things, to 'chickens out' being a 5th grader insult, to it meaning 'ok, then do more of what you don't like'. Crazy
 
These were the safest places in Iran to locate the centrifuges. If they were removed from those locations, they will eventually be destroyed at some other location.
Bro, do you know how huuuuge Iran is? Pretty sure Fordow isn’t the only place where you can stick some centrifuges under a mountain..
It’s always been the case that there is no way at all to permanently stop the Iranian nuclear program. Bombing isn't going to destroy the Uranium they already have. Whenever the bombing stops, they can reconstruct whatever has been destroyed. There is nothing difficult about making a nuclear weapon if you have the things Iran has.
True. A diplomatic deal, aside from just occupying the country, was always the way to go.

But AIPAC says we can’t do that, so…

Anyways, nuff doomposting. Here’s some Redditors seething over the latest SCOTUS decision:

i started seeing retards on tiktok call trump taco trump and i have absolutely no idea what its supposed to mean
TRUMP
ALWAYS
CHICKENS
OUT

It’s a reference to those “Liberation Day” Tariffs. And a reference to the fact that Trump always goes “Whoops! Nevermind that!” Anytime some major tariffs are about to take effect.
 
you guys want the poor ballistic missile mechanics to go hungry, who are they going to sell the bombs to if we have peace?

Some of yall just dont spare 1 thought to the economy when you post and it shows.

For my part ever since Trump got elected Ive been buying enough socks to wear a BRAND NEW PAIR every day baby. Do I donate them when Im done? no that encourages handouts, bad for the economy, I have hired a Vietnamese "labor force" in Phuoc Dong that I have worked out a deal with where I ship the slightly used socks over on a Chinese built bulk carrier flagged out of Panama that has an all Sri Lankan crew, where they then get turned from socks back into raw fibers then moved to a factory next door where they are remade into fake Yeezys after which they are put back onto a bulk carrier, this time a Dutch built one flagged out of French Guinea with a Lebanese crew shipped back to the United States where its promptly stolen at the docks.

I see it kinda like recycling, its a civic duty.
 
and now we've got this.

don't get me wrong, I'm very glad we've seemed to have avoided WW3 or GWOT2 Electric Boogaloo, but let's be honest, we probably just hit a few empty bases and whatever nuclear material Iran has (as well as their technology) was moved off site thanks to our forewarning, and Iran just shot a few missiles into the desert not hitting anything in response.

What was even the point of this gay little charade?

Yeah I don't think that's going to happen. Iran is winning and there's no reason for them to stop.

Get some reading comprehension before pestering others with your centrist signaling. The first quoted part literally delineates "Kentucky-based artist," and the entire article makes it clear it's a whole thing is constructed by Americans, with a few Euros butting in after the fact.

After writing and deleting a 7D chess move involving appeasing different MAGA factions that was fucking ridiculous when I read it back, this is what I got:

I think Trump had to follow through on an attack lest people think he's bluffing when he makes threats and Israel forced his hand when they turbo accelerated. If they're actually trying to pull back now it's because they over extended expecting Trump to go harder than what he did. If Trump goes forward with actual regime change nonsense, then Netanyahu has him by the balls, but if he only pays lips service that's all it was. Trump being forced to use his big stick by Israel.

Either way, it fucking sucks because even in the best case scenario in my head, Trump HAS to pay attention to Israel which distracts from the domestic issues we need to handle right now, i.e. radical tax reform, deregulation, deporting the 3rd world back to the 3rd world, and maybe enacting jihad on the cartels that control Mexcio.
