Billions in social services have disappeared over the last few weeks. Government agencies gutted or dismantled. Farmers going bankrupt. Market tanking. But we've got money for a canal in another country that doesn't have enough water to fill the locks.
"America First"

Or is this peace actual peace?
Peace is overrated. The Ukrainians don't want peace. I suspect if you were in their position you wouldn't want peace, either. They want justice. Justice for their dead friends. Justice for the wasteland that has been made of their country.
America is no longer a place capable of delivering justice and everyone else in the world knows that now.

Since the end of The War our real power was the confidence other countries had in our resolve and values. That confidence is why the Dollar is the reserve currency of the world.
The smart countries will divest themselves from America over the next few years. And the moment swapping the Dollar for some other reserve currency hurts us a lot more than it hurts them we're cooked. It will make WWIII look like a Philly block party after a throwball game.

They Oppressed and attempted to ethnic cleanse the people of the Donbass.
ROFL
Like all those poor Germans in the Sudetenland, right?
Putin just needs an Anschluss then we can all live in peace.

This mutt is like Nevil Chamberlain if Chamberlain also had a head injury and syphilis.

Remember, every time he accuses Israel of "ethnic cleansing" this is the standard he is using.

the thread is chopped to bits and you won't get anything out of it
Yeah, the whole system is lame and should go away. Publishing a list of plonked members is an attempt to shame the posters Rcade and the moderators don't like. IP ban them if they cross the line for harassment or abuse if that's the DR's prerogative. But the site can't function if all the dumb/wrong/racist/misogynist/psychotic opinions aren't seen and met with a retort.

The whole flag system should be killed, too, IMNHO. NW is just a suck-off-a-thon and "funny" is almost exclusively used as, "I don't agree with you but I'm too stupid or lazy to offer a retort".

Dorky went full circle in one thread. First accusing someone else of misogyny (something he does constantly and has been called out for it multiple times), then calls Eberly - Beverly, again for the umpteenth time. Because very often when he wants to insult someone he feminizes them or their name.
Laura calls him Beverly, too, but she would have a ------- meltdown on screen of someone behaved likewise to her and Rcade would give them a 10-day plonk for doing so.

As for Gracie's numbers moving, I suspect the 'people' who had her plonked timed-out after not posting for X number of days. I dunno, why does it matter?

Breaking News: Four muslim doctors say, "Israel Bad, mkay".
Unnamed "senior UN official" says, "Gaza has the largest number of amputee children in modern history".
This story by ABC is a perfect example of modern 'reporting'. No fact checking, no outside sources. Begin with a narrative from a singular point of view, insert biased stenography and photos of dirty children.

It took .05 seconds for Google to dunk on just one of the absurd claims made in this propaganda piece.
UNICEF (THE UN) says about 1,000 children in Gaza have lost a limb.
6,000 children in Sierra Leon lost a limb(s) to RUF machetes. They were not medical amputees of injured limbs. Perfectly healthy children hacked to pieces, many lost BOTH arms or BOTH legs.

Something about being a Palestinian (Hamas) supporter either makes the person lose all perspective, or perhaps they never had any to being with.

The testimony at Nuremberg of the Nazi leader of Einsatzgruppen D:
COL. AMEN: What were their instructions with respect to the Jews and the Communist functionaries?
OHLENDORF: The instructions were that in the Russian operational areas of the Einsatzgruppen the Jews, as well as the Soviet political commissars, were to be liquidated.
COL. AMEN: And when you say "liquidated" do you mean "killed?"
OHLENDORF: Yes, I mean "killed."
..
COL. AMEN: Do you know how many persons were liquidated by Einsatz Group D under your direction?
OHLENDORF: In the year between June 1941 to June 1942 the Einsatzkommandos reported 90,000 people liquidated.
COL. AMEN: Did that include men, women, and children?
OHLENDORF: Yes.

From the affidavit of Hermann Graebe:

"I heard a series of rifle shots close by. The people from the trucks - men, women and children - were forced to undress under the supervision of an SS soldier with a whip in his hand. ..Without weeping or crying out, these people undressed and stood together in family groups, embracing each other and saying goodbye while waiting for a sign from the SS soldier, who stood on the edge of the ditch, a whip in his hand, too. During the fifteen minutes I stayed there, I did not hear a single complaint, or plea for mercy. I watched a family of about eight: a man and woman, surrounded by their children of about one, eight, and ten, and two girls. An old lady held the baby in her arms, rocking it, and singing it a song. The infant was crying aloud with delight. The father held the ten-year-old boy by the hand, speaking softly to him: the child struggled to hold back his tears. Then the father pointed a finger to the sky, and, stroking the child's head, seemed to be explaining something. At this moment, the SS near the ditch called something to his comrade. The latter counted off some twenty people and ordered them behind the mound. The family of which I have just spoken was in the group.

I walked around the mound and faced a frightful common grave. Tightly packed corpses were heaped so close together that only the heads showed. Most were wounded in the head and the blood flowed over their shoulders. Some still moved. Others raised their hands and turned their heads to show that they were still alive. The ditch was two-thirds full. I estimate that it held a thousand bodies."

expose and destroy Kamala Harris
Without accepting your premise, isn't it also possible that's the reason Trump picked her?
The list of credentialed candidates with the experience and clearance to do the job is small and shrinking.

As was said of Jeff Davis, another certified American traitor, she's "as ambitious as Lucifer and cold as a lizard".
I can't remember any time where a DNS was the least bit controversial. The offices too sensitive to play games or allow anyone below the standard of Caesar's wife.

The Trump supporters defending this are either too stupid to see the danger, don't care about the danger or both,

No surprise K Dot sailed over the heads of the know-nothings.
"Just dance and crank your music box, boy! We want to be entertained, not think!"

KC out coached, out played, out quarterbacked for 60 minutes.

Note that NT Wright, despite his soft and polite BBC-voice cosplay is a rabid conservative and gay basher.

In the video he criticizes science for, "also inventing the atomic bomb, gas chambers, nuclear missiles and god knows what else".
The same dichotomy can be laid directly at the feet of his god and the messaging of millionaire tv preachers like NT Wright. Reading the Bible can produce a Corky...or a pathetic know-nothing, self-loathing imbecile like Bill.
The same god that inspires homeless shelters makes hijackers and cyanide koolaid.

He brought up Epicurus but didnt even attempt to combat his most famous critique. No one has. It is older than Christinaity and has stood up to every one of these conmen selling pencils from a cup.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

At the end of the video comes the same white noise every Christian preacher relies upon to sheer his sheep. It doesn't matter how many book deals, honorary titles or degrees specializing in comic books they have or if they have none of those things. In the end they will always always always rely on word-salad gibberish like: "when Jesus' first followers (who btw don't agree on ANYTHING and often contradict themselves) talked about the god they saw revealed in Jesus, who they saw active by the spirit..."
Those are infact all words in the English language but they don't say anything meaningful or even comprehensible.

Elections were held shortly after the Reichstag fire that saw the Nazis dramatically increase their representation in parliament.

Two weeks after the fire, Pacelli, Vatican Sec of State, soon to be Pope Pius XII, dissolved the Centre Party. The democratic center had nowhere to go except the Nazis, they were never going to side with the Communists. There was no longer a path for a three-way coalition to counter the National Socialists. This of course this was the plan all along.

The Church struck a deal, outlined in the first concordant signed by the Nazis with The Vatican. It would get rid of the only thing left in Hitler's path in exchange for control of primary school education.
On the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland, God's Plan was to end the life of one Pope and install a mask-off Fascist, a partner of Mussolini and Hitler for a decade, on the throne of St. Peter.
