Bushmeat = roadkill, without the roads.

"Congress Says Russia, China Are Targeting Europe."

So do we, in our own ways . . . which used to be more benevolent.

In its current state, anything the US Congress says or does, its individual members or collectively, isn't worth spit. Alert foreign nations and US citizens know this.

Gotta keep sterilizing and surgically mutilating minors as much as possible.

Yet nowhere near as much as conservatives groom and abuse them, against the minors' will.

"Kennedy Center President Rebukes Performer"

Jewish musicians generally did not play directly for Hitler in his presence, as the Nazi regime officially banned Jewish performers and their music, purging them from German orchestras. However, Jewish musicians were forced to perform in camp orchestras, such as at Auschwitz, for SS guards and commanders.

Key details regarding Jewish musicians and the Nazi era:

Forced Performances: Jewish musicians, including cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, were forced to play in the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz for camp personnel.

Excluded from German Stages: By 1933, Jewish artists were banned from the Vienna State Opera and Philharmonic. The last Jewish member of the Berlin Philharmonic was forced to leave in the 1930s.

Jewish Culture League: The Jewish Culture League (Kulturbund) was established in Berlin in 1933, which allowed Jewish musicians to perform only for Jewish audiences.

Exception in Music: While the Nazis banned Jewish composers, Hitler's personal record collection actually included music by Jewish artists, notes ABC News.

Theresienstadt: In the Theresienstadt ghetto, Jewish musicians continued to perform and compose until their deportation to death camps.

Boaz, all those words were posted over your name. Whose are they?

Trump was playing 4D chess.

That goofball who couldn't flip a coin? Probably got stuffed into too many lockers as a kid to make it to the field in time for the coin flip.

Vance is going to fold like a napkin if Trump dies. Jr.'s gonna come in and sweep the field, and he'll have access to all Moscow's kompromat on Vance, which for hilarity will be on bedsides for years to come.

I don't think there was any more perfect strike than the Israelis firing that missile on the sheik in the wheelchair.

If Trump wants to present his evidence, just like him, I'm all ears.

Too few of them?

If they think they can mine any information from pork products, cheese, and condiments, they can have at it.

Boaz: Flailing in desperation.

Or Odds.

You fill your car with energy from wind turbines? Cool.

You only say that because you don't know enough about Jackson or Harrison. This isn't the first time this has happened in the US.

#11 | Posted by s1l3ntc0y0t3

Yeah, boy, Harrison really left his mark on the nation. For Boaz's benefit:

William Henry Harrison served as the ninth U.S. president for just 32 days in 1841 -- the shortest term in history -- from his inauguration on March 4 to his death from pneumonia on April 4. He was the first president to die in office.

You really should cut down on working truck stop dick.

As a progressive American, I'm so just damn tired of having the right's sexual proclivities and fantasies and ways of dealing with this world being foisted upon the rest of us, especially gay fantasies intruding on Retort discussions. This type of indoctrination is ruining America. Am I in alignment with Boaz here?

"working truck stop dick." Remember Larry Craig. Airports aren't just for OJ anymore.

And I read somewhere recently that LftHndThrds works in the oil and gas industry? Like for truckstops? Weird coincidence.

I met a military chaplain once who, upon my asking him what he did, said with a straight face, "I teach ethics at the School of the Americas."

My very polite and measured response let him know in an offhand way I understood exactly what his gig entailed and left his ears steaming. But it was a social situation where tensions could not flare.

I wonder how often he gets away with that line.

A number of those are Christian/Catholic institutions also. Nones are drying up the student pool. Hardcores go to Bible institutes, which I'm sure are for-profit, of course.

In other news, 27 percent of Americans will go to their graves defending Trumpism, protecting not America but the exalted values of their own twisted beliefs.

Maybe young conservatives these days are just dumbsh!+$.

Government-imposed long-term death policies.

Along with Tiananmen, the Chinese famine of 1958-62 is a Trumpian fantasy. If only someone could explain the famine to him. Maybe a YT documentary with happy leggy blondes talking in condescending tones about mass starvation could hold his interest for a minute or two.

I'm Jewish, 65 years old. My great-aunt never bought anything German. And upon learning of my areligious stance as a youth, she told me, "DBT2, when the Nazis come back, they're gonna get you too."

Not "if," "when."

Aunt Etta was a prophet.

Everything I ever wanted to know about Kansas I found in Capote's In Cold Blood.

Aside from the crime narrative, it's a great depiction of late 50s/early 60s Republicans, and I'm saying that positively. I imagine it's the same strain of folks who Eberly hopes he's voting for when he's voting for the local Rs now. Elks and farmers and good upstanding Americans, truth, justice, and church and golf and apple pie, and not a hint of depravity.

Then came trouble.

Boaz, you just let us know when we need to pronounce words for you. We're here to help.
