Please note Obama and Biden (and Bush and Trump) are just fine with Guantanamo Bay, our tortuous concentration camp built on illegally seized Cuban land. Just one infamous example.
So… of course he can build more concentration camps. Why not? We already have them. The next D president isn’t going to come in and close the camps.

Our labor party has had decades to work for labor… now union membership is down to 10% (from 1970s 40%+, most are government or cops), pay is so low that we have been surpassed by Eastern Europe (not a joke, Poland gets maternity leave, vacation, healthcare, and more), and billionaires pay less taxes than ever.
So… will we catch up with Poland in another 70 years? A century?
How embarrassing. Europe has right wing parties, too, yet somehow, their labor parties can accomplish so much more than ours… and do a great deal more with far less money. Our labor party is a disgusting, sad, rotten joke.
I voted D in last election, and probably will in the next national election, go right ahead. But just watch; I’ve seen this slow, undeniable decline for many decades. The grist for the grinding is our workforce.
oh no, snot doesn’t approve of generation X, the horror, the heavy burden
I was a kid when it was out, and it’s the first time I found a film unctuous, and I started noting product placement and so on. It ruined my childhood; this was before internet and it was advertised everywhere 24-7, signs, products, advertisements, on the news and night time shows and morning shows.
This debt economy with the Fed and those appointed to it may have some slight flaws
Hmmm, let’s get a few more bankers on it, maybe print some more money just to be safe
But they do, as a great deal of Zionists are Jews; all Jews are not Zionists but most Zionists are Jews.
Search “zionist settlers” and “greater israel”, it’s not a secret.
I hate it, I will from now on be one of those guys in an old car. I hate those guys. God dammit
I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I certainly don’t want anything AI in my search engine. I’ll always switch to whoever provides that. It’s only been around a short time, maybe it’s the way things will be in the future and that’s great and all, but I won’t use it. I know I’m a dinosaur you win
Who are you talking about? All Jews? All Israelites? All Israeli Jews?
All apply, and more. All Abrahamic faiths share the same fundamentals… superiority, righteousness, and ultimate victory are their trademarks.
My point still stands: “Stop conflating the bastards who did this with their ethnic/religious group.”
Your point remains wrong. Fundamentalists are only the spear tip; you mistake them for just a tiny minority without knowing their purpose, they are the elite spiritual warriors of very powerful organizations that have been around much longer than any other private orgs on Earth, and they will die for their cause without a second thought. They’ve been doing this for generations, and have it down to a fine art.
They are revealed when they gain power, look at their works and all of the millions of deaths over the centuries.
You stop it. Abrahamic religions have been doing this for two thousand years, of course it contributes in many ways, their scriptures insist that they have magical spirit wisdom and knowledge, and reinforces their abuses.
It’s not the only reason, but it’s likely the biggest reason. Many are raised this way from childhood, and are indoctrinated in their superiority and righteousness.
Even the moderates contribute; much of their donations makes it to these fundamentalists, and they help to provide a veneer of respectability.
If you sit at the table with Nazis, you’re a Nazi, right?
Democrats sit at the table and vote with Republicans all of the time… just enough. Figure it out.
Remember, EVERY TIME they complain about that super majority hurdle to “overcome the filibuster”, they can always make it a simple majority vote.
They call it the “nuclear option” ever since Trent Lott the Republican came up with the term in 2000s. bOtH pArTiEs immediately adopted the term, because it scares the ever-loving shit out of voters.
Before then, it was called the “constitutional option”, since bills can always be passed with a simple majority vote.
They’re not even hiding it… because it’s that easy to manipulate the electorate. “nuclear option”, check it out
Why wouldn’t other countries just not sanction us?
Because the vast majority of countries are dependent on the USAs financial system, odds are very good your country is dependent on that same system in thousands of ways. Especially Europe.
They hate America even as they depend upon it… and it’s even worse than that, as the USA is controlled by banking interests that have been around since the slavery days. Should America disappear tomorrow, another “financial center” will replace it, it’s an international web of financial interests.
Their only goal is profit, national concerns are irrelevant to them.
This isn’t even unusual, I’m surprised they didn’t do it sooner.
The USA is hopeful that there will be a civilian uprising, and will do anything in its power to make life in Iran as miserable as possible. Even as they complain about Iran’s killing of civilians, they will murder those same civilians.
Recall that over 500K Iraqis died to topple Hussein for the crime of killing 20K Iraqis.
Russia’s economy is smaller than California’s, don’t be silly.
I don’t know what a “blood boy” is and I don’t want to know.
I am going to bed now
I despise AI, however, religious exceptions for work are stupid.
Go to work for your church/mosque/temple if it’s that important for you.
If you’re a Christian, live like a bird in the field, like Jesus says. Go pick through the garbage can and be content in your righteousness. You’re reward isn’t earthly, but in Heaven, right?
This became popular when Jimmy Carter was President.
There were also smiling peanut toys, as a kid I inherited my own smiling peanut that I would walk around with, I loved him.
I have no economic knowledge or trading ability, here’s my very important prediction…
…this is a huge rug pull and the billionaires in on it are going to make a lot of money.
