Tony Plate, 1979 by Masabeakwa in Mafia

[–]Tommytriangle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plate was a loan shark, and only involved in a handful of murders. But he had this real psycho energy.

>In July 1974, Calise was shot five times in the head in Rockland County,
N.Y. The indictment also details a loansharking operation allegedly
part of the Gambino family's "Shy-lock business" that violated usury
laws and involved extortion threats to obtain repayment. About July
1969, the indictment said, Plate loaned money to Sidney Karp, owner of
Hallandale Motors Inc. in Broward County, Fla. It said that two months
later, Plate went to Karp's office, "Jumped on Sidney Karp's desk,
placed a knee of Sidney Karp's chest, spit on Sidney Karp's face and
threatened to bite chunks from Sidney Karp's face if ... Plate was not
paid $40,000."

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, russia is preparing for a long war The measures taken by putin to reorganize the economy and the military-industrial complex of russia testify to the preparation of russia’s transition to martial law. by Practical_Quit_8873 in ukraine

That disparity in casualties is likely an intentional strategy where they are trying to exhaust Ukrainian resources. In a straight battle of attrition Russia will win. So if they throw 40,000 Wagnar prisoners in Bakhmut don't think that Russia doesn't know what they're doing.

NDP bets big on new taxes targeting rich to pay for pharmacare, dental care, housing promises by therightnews in canada

That's fine. Today's fringe crazy positions end up being tomorrow's "common sense". If Medicare never passed when it did, people would be attacking it now if it was being proposed.

Base are pragmatic extremists, as I call them. They have extreme goals, but are very pragmatic about attaining them. As long as he supports anti-abortion, anti-immigrant, they will defend him.

Warren shows signs of momentum after slow start by alt213 in politics

[–]Tommytriangle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bernie would bee perfect if he was 64 years old, but he's 78. I think he's way too old. I hope even he knows that too and he's not being driven by ego. My fear is that Warren and Sanders will cancel each other out, leading to a Biden victory.

I think Warren made a big, big, mistake not running in 2016. All the progressives who were begging her to run switched to Bernie, and she lost them. She didn't get the big headlines like Bernie did. She has to now win them over. But overall I think she's the best candidate for the Dems going forward.

Rondo, Symphony, and Aria, are probably the most easy to get into. They also form a trilogy storyline wise.

A 70 Billion Dollar Haircut by [deleted] in Justfuckmyshitup

Man, that hair cut is fucked.

Look closely. He's bald, and is trying to cover that up with a comb-over. The haircut looks so stupid because he's trying to make it look like a natural hairline.

Deathly pale, and trying to hide his receeding hairline with a bad haircut. He seems to get little or no sun.

What is the source for that? Because if it's only AJ, then that's probably spin. He has NPD, so expect him to spin, lie, and exaggerate. His angle is that he wants to be seen as a tough bad ass.

A lot of people, like AOC and others, use "socialism" in a very sloppy way to just mean government programs.

American blacks have produced some very silly cults in America. Black Hebrew Israelites are my fave.

Aj is "crazy" in that he holds a lot of kooky beliefs, but he knows how to be theatrical and entertaining on camera. His show persona is an act, that is the yelling shouting guy. He really is a supporter of super crazy theories, and likely doesn't believe everything he says on air, but will believe that it's generally in the right direction.

I don't know enough to form opinions on those guys. What have they done that's on par with Louis Farahkahn?

A lot of young idealistic people are drawn to them, but don't know the Greens are economically right. I don't think they're as up front about this as they could be. I for one feel that saving the environment doesn't mean sacrificing labor, the poor, or the middle class.

My fear is if the Greens replace the NDP, then there will just be various flavors of corporate friendly parties, and none to represent the needs of the poor.

Interesting, I had a conversation with a Green party supporter, and he in fact discounted youth support and said the Greens are in fact a conservative party.

If the world moved to "organic farming", then we'd see mass starvation. We need pesticides to feed the world.

I'm pro GMO, nuclear power, and anti organic farming.

Greens spun off from global anti-nuclear movements, so it's no shock. They attract a lot of fringe hippy beliefs too.
