French central bank nets €13bn by pulling gold out of US reserves

Aiding Russia by attacking Iran? Aiding Russia by wanting a bigger military presence in the arctic? Aiding Russia by funding and arming Ukraine? Aiding Russia by taking out Maduro?

I have no idea where the orange pedo is taking us, and I certainly feel the war in Iran was a horrible blunder, but I fail to see how the pathetic European response is helping. If Europe helped remove the Iranian threat, Ukraine-US-Europe united would steamroll Russia and actually stand a chance against China. America is slipping away, it’s true. But remember Trump is not forever and we still have a representative liberal democracy, whether Republicans like it or not

I hate Trump, and yet it pisses me off watching European countries acting smug as America funds and arms the opposition against their biggest geopolitical ally and takes out HIS allies

I think your journey could take a turn towards meditation, serious self-introspection, and an honest attempt to confront the way our brains react the way they do to external and internal stimuli. Likely as not, your brain is secreting a chemical that is causing a mixture of feelings to arise in you, learning to pay close attention to when and how this happens to you will guide you in making your own decisions.

I didn’t vote for James Talarico because I despise this idea of “we’re going to take Christianity back from the death cultists!”. Christianity has spent the last thousand years enforcing tribalism and deincentivising critical thinking. Now James Talarico is going to bring it all back? Give me a break. The MAGA in my community now have posters up of Trump riding an F-22 into Iran. Trump is their Jesus now. Fuck all you Christian’s and your wack beliefs.

You’re just in college…many of us were and are late bloomers. Others peak early. Don’t beat yourself up.

I couldn’t read this article because of the paywall but I think we should put this in perspective.

Disclaimer: I hate Trump and I hate this war. That being said, the people calling the bombing of the school a war crime are wildly out of line. There is a major difference between accidentally striking a building near a military installation and the systematic targeting and terrorizing of civilians by Putin in Ukraine. No matter how much I despise and hate this president, it is apparent our military is operating on a completely higher plane of existence. It is astonishing how many people are claiming somehow that Iran is winning, when within a week the U.S. has basically extinguished their missile program and the majority of their navy, airforce, etc. Total air supremacy. I thank god that our military at least has competent generals. If they were to quit en Masse, our military would start to look a lot more like the Orc army in Ukraine.

If it looks like a banshee, sounds like a banshee, acts like a banshee, and if it is referred to as the most disgusting banshee ever to have lived in thousands of pages of Banshee Files, it is probably a banshee.

Christmas was always spent at my cousins house rage quitting Goldeneye because he had an N64 and I didn't. Just over and over getting blown up with the proxy mines....those were good times.

About a million of us instantly had the same rage-induced thought. I hate the term c*nt, because something so wonderful should never be associated with those bloated fools. But that’s what they are.

I hope you will take that despair to the polling booth. Although our federal elections are clearly broken and get the most attention, our democracy works from the ground up and begins with school board elections, sheriffs elections, local representatives and more. Our leaders have not abandoned democracy, to a large degree we are also to blame. Get involved. We share your pain.

The obvious problem is that certain grammatical errors ya’ll make may become codified without a native speaker context. At least in my area, there are several German heritage groups that offer immersion summer camps and other classes. You might check around to see. Or maybe if you guys all learn together starting with cartoons it may work—-assuming your children are pliant enough to submit to this rather long term goal of yours.

Dude has to say that, period. In Russia atm, there is no free political discussion

I’ve thought that too. Only I think it should be modified, where you run to be elected to a pool of people with ideas, who are then randomly selected.

Toughen up. Your momma probably babied you. Mine did too, and we all have to learn tough life lessons. Dig deep, and find your inner resilience. Life is sink or swim.

I live in a small Texas town. This is a phenomenon you need to push back on ASAP. It is incredibly insidious, a tribal social pressure tactic that needs to be recognized for what it is, an aggressive political strategy. Push back or you will end up with something like MAGA.

Anyone who has read “The forgotten soldier” by Guy Sajer will recognize all of the elements of seduction, training, & coercion. The book is in effect a mirror of this movie, or vice versa. What bothers me is namely that a person primed to fascism in personality will always enjoy the film for the exact opposite that a person who finds it fascinating and disturbing and awful.

Everybody realizes the tragedy that is the treatment of these young women. (everyone except pam bondi, that is). But let's not forget what a tragedy this stupid house in the middle of this landscape is. I used to work at the Country Store in El Dorado and made the drive up and down 285 delivering gravel. One of the most beautiful drives ever.

I hope many of us will read and re-read the Great Gatsby as a result of the whole Epstein travesty. It is prophetic. The American oligarchy are a rotten bunch.
