Yeah, there are some people who have gotten so lost in the sauce they see everything as a psyop instead of admitting sometimes a spade is a spade.

Honestly, in the history of American politics, that sort of doom spiral usually leads to the destruction of parties and new ones rising up to replace them. Even as far back as the founding, where the Federalist were destroyed and it was decades of near uncontested Democratic-Republican Party rule because the Federalist destroyed themselves by being so anti-DRP that they openly and vocally sided with the British in the War of 1812.

Yeah, fire control picked up from the British (without the "rate of fire at any cost" they developed) combined with damage control we more or less invented on our own is what has historically made US warships such a pain in the ass to deal with because they refuse to die and have accurate fire when they send it.

The whole Liberty incident is one of those things that I do hold against Israel, but not to the extent some of the other Groyper and other EthnoNat types do. After all, it was a very different situation to modern Israel (even if I agree with you that Israel is a real ally with its own interest instead of the "actually vassals" our other "allies" are nowadays), and even when it happened the US government (who didnt want to admit they had a spy ship in the area) effectively responded with "You are going to admit that was an accident, I am going to forget this ever happened, and you are going to accept that or else I am going to have to get real proportional around here."

Still can't take away anything from the unquestionably heroic efforts for the crew to keep the ship afloat. Really impossible shit.

"We refuse to let the ship die, and will bitchslap Poseidon if we have to in order to keep her afloat."

As is US Naval tradition. To the point that losing the keel of the ship can be just a minor inconvenience.

I also imagine the particularly brutal and graphic way Charlie died is not helpful for them too. And that that is also what is helping to move some of the ones who can be moved, like how it sounds like Shoeonhead is ready to give up on Socialist and say they are in fact evil (since apparently she contacted Carl Benjamin after 7 years and told him as much).

Because the EU wishes it was the One World Government and is still salty their colonies told them to fuck off.

They did, even though he presented an entirely rational and obvious reason that anyone who isnt brainrotted would agree with (TLDR: "Baby Hitler did nothing wrong, adult Hitler did. You fix it by getting Baby Hitler out of the toxic environment he was raised in, and that you want to kill an innocent baby says more about you than it does him."). But just like Charlie, they cant stand that he is actually fairly persuasive and good at getting people on the fence to actually think about getting off of it on our side, even if we may think he is a spineless normie in terms of his beliefs (but you have to start somewhere on the conversion road).

They have been for a while, and there are a lot of non-European nations that are part of it. Australia is a consistent member, and in the past they have had places like Bangladesh, India, Japan, Syria, and Kazakhstan.

Trump has this strange thing where for some reason when he decides that he is on the bad side of someone, that someone goes full retard even if they were completely rational and coherent the day before.

Its so strange to me and I dont know what causes it, but it is fascinating to watch. This also blows my plan that he might have survived Trump primarying him. People would have probably not cared if it was just him and Trump having a major disagreement over policy. It's a bit different when Massie decides to go full retard for seemingly no other reason than "I hate Trump."

Yeah. A lot of people talk about the March to the Sea as if he was doing it just out of spite. The reality is, the Deep South like Georgia, which had been away from the frontline and had never seen war while being the ones who pushed for it the hardest, he wanted to send a message. "You want a war so bad? Wish granted, let me show you what it looks like." And after the fact, he wanted to rebuild the South by industrializing it and improving its infrastructure to make it more like the North so that they wouldnt be left behind, just like Grant was.

On a side note, as much as the Far Left types glaze him, they forget that he took those same "You wanted a war, you got it" attitudes out West and used it against the Native Americans. IIRC, the tactic of hunting the buffalo to near extinction was his idea.

They both did, but like I said: Hearst was pretty up front of "Is it true? I dont know. I made good money though, and isnt that what matters?"

Pulitzer on the other hand was insistent that he was reporting true facts, only to have it come out later that he was also lying behind the scenes. Also, interestingly, unlike Hearst he was underpaying his paperboys to the point they started protesting and unionizing.

I have long insisted it is quite fitting they name their award for journalism after Pulitzer. After all, he was a lying snake who printed blatant lies because it made him more money. And was worse than Hearst because at least Hearst was honest about the fact he was lying for money, instead of pretending he was a noble provider of "Truth" like Pulitzer.

EDIT: Also, based Sherman and is why he remains one of my favorite historical generals. Not that I would bring that up on many parts of the internet because a bunch of Leftist goons think he was some genocidal psychopath who wanted to kill all Southerners instead of a man who understood what war looked like and wanted it to end so he could reintegrate them.

To be fair, she was deliberately aiming for that look because she wanted her character to resemble her channel mascot. Although, she did that because it was too hard for her to make a female character she liked the look of, so that also says something.

I mean, she can speak some English. But it is very basic (like 6th grade equivalent). It was enough of a hindrance she played the game in Japanese after struggling with the English.

Korone Inugami (one of the most popular Vtubers in the business, period) plays Hogwarts Legacy. Twitter Freaks and Bluesky Users react exactly how you expect. The God Dog continues to not know because she cant speak English.

Dont remind them who actually controls Bethlehem at the moment. It is inconvenient for their narratives.

Trinidad

Funny you bring up Trinidad. Their prime minister was in the news just the other day essentially saying "Thank you that, America. We are getting sick and tired of being a waypoint for drug smugglers running up to you guys."

Yes, they do believe that. Because they believe it was only because of him that people got "brave" enough to be "openly bigoted" to fight back against them. Because like in many other cases, they reverse cause and effect and dont realize that Trump was the effect, not the cause. So they think that if they get rid of Trump they are getting rid of cause, and not that people will just find a new Trump. Or worse, will find someone more extreme than Trump (because they also refuse to admit Trump is actually fairly moderate and in line with most Americans, they just think he is too crass).

My thing is, if they're doing what you want them to do, then support them as loudly as you can.

Because much like the Woke Leftist, the Doomers want you as broken and miserable as they are. So they need to convince you that all is lost and you need to start wallowing in self-pity and depression like they do. Because if you dont, then it just means they are a loser instead of "ahead of the curve", and they start to feel even worse.

To be fair, she is just playing a character. She is already pretending like she is some ghetto trash from Texas when she is actually from a wealthy family from Missouri, so it would make sense she just lives a stereotype.

kicked out for implying too much violence

comes back with the most "that's bait" tier implying-violence name

I am so shocked he turned out this way.

I could definitely believe that. It looks very similar to a coal dust explosion.

DEI: 40%

At the very least, general incompetence seems like a fairly high chance, DEI or not. I very much doubt they are checking too much with the people who do the work in Baltimore, unlike some other ports. Doubly so since Baltimore is a fairly small port in the grand scheme of things.
