Could a video title scream "guys with insecurity issues" any louder?

You whine about Americans not "coming to terms with its bad behavior".

Nope. And you've misquoted me, of course, distorting my words. Which makes you what? Right: just another MAGAt liar.. Jeezus, you people.

By the way, judging from your posts you seem genuinely burdened by crippling "shame" issues of some sort. Come on, pookie, make the crooked, uh, straight. "Daaaaady!"

Interesting number, 36%. There's no connection, but it's a fun numbers nonsense game: Trump's popularity just about matches the highest share of a free election garnered by Hitler's Nazi Party (37% in 1932).

Please. It's "Cracklehead."

Why are Americans so ashamed of themselves?
#20 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

Are you ashamed of yourself? Why? Because of your ethnicity/nationality? Poor babe.

Me? Not ashamed, either as a human or an American. Interested in the nation's history, grasping its past to better comprehend annd anppreciate its present? You betcha.

On a more serious note, Americans who spend time examining IDF and "settler" behavior may see many reflections of the certainties believed in and terrors inflicted by people who proclaimed they engaged in divinely-sanctioned behaviors in furtherance of some hoohaw farago shrouded in the respectability of conventional wisdom.

You do not have to look particularly long or especially hard at this country's westward march to perceive the dominant themes of territorial dispossession and genocidal destruction. I take note of this not to excuse Israeli behavior, which I condemn, but to point out that many/most Americans really have never come to terms with what "American Exceptionalism" and Manifest Destiny" - let alone "imperialism" and "colonialism" - really mean.

MSGT engages in a lazy behavior by thinking/pretending communism and socialism are equivalent. Accepting that inaccurate premise rewards communists with the prize. It's like saying the North Korean regime is a democratic republic because it says so.

Concerns about "compromising the agency's impartiality" seem naive now, almost quaintly pre-Trump.

Ask Trump about "the Commies." Last time he heard about them they had Corporal Bone Spurs pi##ing in his Florsheims.

That's the spirit!

Do Floridians call themselves gator bait?

The trick is to be in a position to call the other guy "gator bait," lol.

Trump requires Tiananmen Square-ish security. "Daaaaaaaady!!!"

They weren't kidding, babbling about "alternative facts."
All cults exist within the confines of an alternative reality.
That's how the nutters find folks with whom to keep reassuring company.
Birds of a feather.
Loons.

TWINPAC - Best/weirdest part of what you just put up here? True or not? It's a toss-up. (But if they go for lights: red, white and blue.)

Took no time for the regime's Kavanaugh Stops - thanks, Justice Kegger - to morph into regime-initiated, regime-sanctioned, and regime-encouraged Kavanaugh Killings.

Is there, after all, no honor among thieves? Yikes.

As with ZED at #1. Before Jonas Salk - a modest guy it was my honor to meet later with March of Dimes - the iron lung was the symbol of polio's terror. And Zed's right: sheer, unadulterated terror.
