Who here has criticized the German people for Nazism? Either retroactively or whenever?

Who here has said the average citizen back then should have done more?

Why do John Fugelsang, Cenk Uyger and other "progressives" go on the air

and complain about Rump?


If memory serves, they and MANY more I wont mention spent AS MUCH time criticizing Hillary as they did rump during the campaign BOTH during the primaries AND AFTER.

I mean if you didnt do everything humanly possible that entire time to stop the Nazis, your complaining about them is kind of annoying

I dont listen to either of them anymore other than when Stephanie has Fugelsang on her show. Stephanie agrees with me but cant say it to John's face but tries to in subtle ways.

When I see KGB operatives spreading their propaganda, I do this

?itok=FA0aQsqs


Now I do understand that in this picture the character is actually a TRAITOR exposing a patriot, so I guess I need another picture now to be cinematically and otherwise correct.


What picture can I use to respond to the KGB operatives I see on the internet all day everyday?

Death sucks

I lost a friend recently to cancer.

Because he is not old and had no business whatsoever dying this young, it is different to deal with than a parent or someone older.

When I see something on TV that reminds me of him I think how he can not enjoy that anymore or how I cant tell him about it anymore.

We all have SO much to be grateful for just being alive, yet the way it works is we rarely are cognizant of that, at least I am not.

Anyway, here is to any friend or relative YOU have lost and here is to my friend




edit:
In honor of my friend I want to respond to everyone. And more than that I want to encourage us to have this discussion anytime someone needs it.

Leaving the Iran deal would play right into Putin's hands, says a former US ambassador to Russia

https://qz.com/1271616/iran-deal-donald-trump-leaving-would-please-russias-vladimir-putin/


Supporters of the Iran deal have no shortage of reasons for president Donald Trump to stick with it: The deal appears to be succeeding in its aim of forcing Iran to cut its nuclear stockpile. All of the closest US allies back the deal (except Israel and Saudi Arabia). Backtracking on promises would damage the US’s chance of a deal with North Korea.

Michael McFaul, former US ambassador to Russia and author of the new memoir From Cold War to Hot Peace, has one more reason to keep the deal: Abandoning it would play right into Russian president Vladimir Putin’s narrative that the US is untrustworthy.

McFaul worked on the Iran deal under Barack Obama. In a phone interview with Quartz, he recalled the lengthy talks held between the Obama administration and the P5+1 (the five permanent UN security council members plus Germany, which allied to negotiate the deal with Iran) to create the deal. Based on the Trump administration’s current lack of “diplomatic enthusiasm” for renegotiation, McFaul predicts the US will walk away from its historic agreement.

So we know ending the Iran deal is a direct order from Putin to Trump or Rump

and that the increased gas prices are the primary reason why, but will Israel under Bibi (most Israelis are wonderful people but not BIBI) have the OK now to bomb Iran?

I was just wondering. I mean, if we are gonna discuss words describing some folks, why not discuss some of these folks?

Or maybe this is America?
