James said Trump should have valued his penthouse triplex in 2016 at $119.9 million instead of $327 million, and valued Mar-a-Lago in 2018 at $25.4 million, based on its restricted use as a social club, instead of $739.5 million.
So basically the banks didn't do their job of appraising the item they insured, never had to actually pony up any real money, and this is Trump's fault?
This is...eye opening to say the least.
I knew we weren't fed the whole truth, but some of the stuff I read in there is shocking. I had no idea G.I.s were cutting off the ears of Japanese soldiers for trophies and sending the skulls home to their girlfriends.
At the close of hostilities, the American government employed circuitous legal reasoning to argue that the many millions of German troops that they had captured should not be considered “prisoners of war” and therefore were not covered by the provisions of the Geneva Convention. Soon afterward, attempts by the International Red Cross to provide food shipments to the enormous Allied prison camps were repeatedly rejected, and notices were posted throughout the nearby German towns and villages that any civilian who attempted to smuggle food to the desperate POWs might be shot on sight.
Hmmm...dehumanization. I wonder where I've seen that recently?
Furthermore, once the Cold War ended and the Soviet Archives were open to scholars, their contents seem to have strongly validated Bacque’s thesis. He notes that although the archives do contain explicit evidence of such long-denied atrocities as Stalin’s Katyn Forest massacre of Poland’s officer corps, they show absolutely no signs of any million missing German POWs, who instead had very likely ended their lives in the starvation and illness of Eisenhower’s death camps. Bacque points out that the German government has issued severe legal threats against anyone seeking to investigate the likely sites of the mass graves that might hold the remains of those long-dead POWs, and in an updated edition, he also mentions Germany’s enactment of harsh new laws meting out heavy prison sentences to anyone who merely questions the official narrative of World War II.
I don't think the good guys won WWII anymore. In fact, I'm not sure there were any good guys at all above the rank of Captain.
In Yugioh a 1900 attack 4 star monster was basically the GOAT and a game winner
I was like 5 years old when I started playing that, then I stopped for 20 years, and came back to it in master duel.
Holy fuck it is impossible to win now unless you are playing meta. Literally everything revolves around special summons and shutting down the opponents field with ash blossom, etc.
I remember that thread. That comment is one of the biggest red pills I have ever taken. One of the examples of how ruined your life can get is this Canadian comedian (I think his name is Dave Foley but I could be wrong) who had to flee to the United States because he lost his TV show gig and couldn't keep up with the insane child support payments.
There are so many fucked up points in that comment, you could make a dozen threads here of real life examples of these things, like that kid who had to pay child support to his rapist, or men having to pay child support for kids who aren't theirs, or that guy who worked 3 jobs and eventually shot himself because he was living in a studio apartment with nothing but a burner phone and a futon and the bitch was still coming after him for money.
I wish I could have what my parents had. A good economy, a good culture, a loving spouse to come home to, some kids who love them, a quiet place away from the city. Deep down past my cynicism, my heart aches and yearns for it. But I'll likely never have that now, with the way the world is going, and how women seem hellbent on being the legal equivalent of nuclear landmines.
I think the mass distribution of downers like weed may also be spoiling people's ability to be ambitious and productive.
This is what the normie morons who think weed is all sunshine and daisies don't understand. A drug doesn't have to be addictive, or physically destructive to your body for it to be dangerous. What weed does is make a person okay with being bored. It makes them okay with being stuck at their current level. Sure, you could bring up the argument that it doesn't always do that for everyone. If it did, none of the 60's rock bands would have kept making music. However, most people aren't Paul McCartney, or Keith Richards, or David Gilmour. Hell, even among the hippie rock bands, a good number of them ended up dead from drugs, etc. (part of the 27 club).
My former roommate smokes weed all the time. He still works at the fast casual place I left 3 years ago. He is coming up on 6 or 7 years now still working there at the same level position. My hourly rate at my job is more than double what I made there, but his rate has barely increased by a couple dollars. He spends all his time making sandwiches and salads, then going home and smoking pot. Occasionally he will go out and drive around to places to see them, but other than that, he doesn't really do anything.
I like him, but it infuriates me how he just doesn't want to try and lift himself out of poverty. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm on a career path that eventually will. The one big difference between us is that I don't do drugs, and he does.
That was nothing compared to the spontaneous parades, rallies, and parties for Trump in '20.
This is what I keep telling people. I had to drive from the peoples republic of NJ to the middle of bumfuck Kansas for a family reason back in 2019. The sheer amount of Trump flags, signs, bumper stickers, hats, etc. that I saw along the way was unbelievable. I'm talking 2 or 3 of those every single mile for whole sections of highway. Even here in NJ I still see more Trump merch than Biden merch. Hell, I've only seen about 4 cars with a Biden sticker on it, whereas there are at least 5 houses near me than have Trump signs on their lawn.
I have never in my lifetime seen a political figure with as much support as Trump. Hell, people in fucking Japan had marches for him. A country on the literal other side of the planet had people marching for this guy.
Biden has nowhere near the level of support that Trump has. Period. You have to have been living under a rock only watching CNN to think otherwise. I have met exactly 1 person who actually likes Biden (and he has autism). The only Biden voters who actually exist are people who just hate Trump enough that anyone blue will do.
I refuse to believe that a senile dementia patient who gropes his relatives in the shower and uses his crackhead son to launder money has even 1/10000th the support that Trump has.
X'amd - it's like a mix between Eureka 7 and Nausicaa
Last Exile - Another Ghibli-esque anime reminiscent of Castle in the Sky
Transformers Armada - Starscream's best character arc ever.
Neo Tokyo - Anthology anime with a couple different storylines. Old 80s/90s animation that you won't see today outside of a Ghibli film.
Desert Punk - Post apocalyptic libertarian paradise.
Black Lagoon - Libertarian paradise that isn't post apocalyptic.
Imagine bringing Ramses II to a Walmart and watching his reaction.
California can't even handle the summer on a normal year. They have rolling blackouts in LA every year, and they think everyone driving electric will just work.
It's hard to imagine that place was considered paradise on earth back in the sixties.
and makes things worse
If you take all the starving children out of Africa and move them to the USA, what will the Africans do? They'll continue to breed like rabbits, and create more starving children. Meanwhile, the starving children that are now in the USA put more strain on the system, and the problem remains unsolved.
Whenever I try to explain this to retarded leftists, they just end up calling me uncaring, racist, xenophobic, etc. and not realizing that people leaving a country that needs them for a country that doesn't, ends up hurting the original country in the long run.
Well, I guess I finally found it. The video I can send to someone if they ever ask me "Why don't you want to get married?" as if interacting with women nowadays isn't already a minefield if you don't already know them for a while.
I hated her the whole time, especially when she left him to die on the train tracks, and then he doesn't blame her for getting the other one killed later. If I were Ethan, I would have slapped the shit out of her after the white knight brigade.
The recent one has the females getting their asses handed to them when they try to fight.
lived alone for 7 years once and never dusted to no ill issues, despite being told I needed to do it weekly by multiple women
My mother constantly complained to me of my room being too dusty after not vacuuming it for months, yet the trucks I have to load have so much dust that there is a clear line after four hours on my arms where my gloves end and where the dust begins that looks like the worst sunburn you've ever seen. God forbid I don't clean the toilet within like three days. It's not like people literally shit in it.
Meanwhile this is a woman who took like 9 months to get a swing built on the porch for my father by some contractor.
I cannot use the internet without ublock and privacybadger.
I had to use it on my parents computer one time and I almost had a stroke from how clunky and unusable sites have become.
Hmmm....I'm noticing a distinct lack of TDS screeching in this thread...I wonder why?
So how large is your fedora?
Doesn't even have to be sex. Simply interacting with a female as a male can be enough to get you professionally slandered and your personal life destroyed if they don't like you.
I remember the day when r/actualpublicfreakouts was created, because the original was "being too restricted by left wing jannies".
Now they aren't even allowing comments to be shown anymore, and the reason given, "right wing views" is explicitly stated. This is what happens when leftists get power, and why any space on the internet becomes right wing given enough time without artificial intervention.
"it's a 40 year old song lmao",
Why is the rum gone?
The 19th amendment was a mistake.
Every day I see women who seem hellbent on living up to their reputation in ancient society as incapable of loyalty, honor, or integrity. This is but another chapter in the long tale of "Imp was right again".
Some horror stories I've read about this sort of thing are things like when some bitch posted up on reddit she was trying to get a guy to open up more about himself and he admitted to her he was raped ( can't remember whether it was by a man or a woman but still you get the picture ) and she admitted she couldn't find him attractive anymore. This was a rape victim and the bitch just immediately stabbed him in the back when he opened up to her about something really serious.
Oh shit I remember that one. I think it was either in r/confessions or r/deadbedrooms.
Ya know, every time I feel bad about being such a fatass, I can at least take comfort in the fact that I don't have a pair of F cups hanging off the back of my knees. Jesus fucking Christ that is gross.
Hot babes = not a negative
Ugly hoes that are ugly on purpose = a negative.
I want to see the ideal of humanity, not the bleak reality I live in. If I wanted to see a 3/10 landwhale, I would just go to the nearest fast food chain.
