| second: The Film That Explains Contemporary America. The Sorrow and the Pity has lessons for how authoritarianism takes root—and how to fight against it. David Frum once wrote about the Trump era, “When this is all over, nobody will admit to ever having supported it.” I thought about that a lot while watching The Sorrow and the Pity, which showed how true it was in France. The idea that the French almost uniformly opposed Nazism, with only a few bad apples collaborating, is foundational to France’s postwar identity. The problem is that this is a myth. A big swath of French society didn’t actively collaborate, but by declining to resist and going along with the government, they enabled the Nazi occupation. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Are you afraid of continuing to have your losing record recorded for anyone to see? I'll be that's the reason. |
| 6ixStringJack: Why don't you take it up in the RWED instead of constantly flooding the tags with your TDS bullshit, faggot? |
| second: To 6ixStringJoker: In theory, the US makes weapons to defend itself, which is why the Department of Defense was named "Defense". But lately, since Trump renamed it the Department of War, US weapons are for killing children. The Republican Senators are eager to kill more children. Bernie Sanders’ fourth attempt for resolutions fails, but votes show growing appetite among Democrats to impose limits [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: And besides.. you're a fucking Democrat. You've been complaining for most of your life about how we supply arms to the rest of the world. You should be celebrating right now. |
| 6ixStringJack: And where are they going to get the money to be the world leaders of drone technology? If that isn't just a boldfaced lie in the first place, somebody is giving him that money. Soros, perhaps? Who knows. We know that Ukraine is fucking broke and begging for money constantly, so they're not funding it. |
| 6ixStringJack: No. It can't. There is zero evidence of that, and had Joe Biden not given them $200 Billion USD they would have fallen long ago. |
| 6ixStringJack: second: 6ixStringJack wrote: "And fuck Ukraine. I've been saying that way longer." You are missing the point, which is that Ukraine can win a war without Trump's help and without US weapons. The United States was the world's dominant arms exporter, controlling 42% of the global market from 2021–2025. But Trump ended that. And Europe will stop buying US-made weapons. Instead, Europe will make its own weapons, just like Russia, China, and Ukraine are doing. Trump's extremely weird behavior has ruined the export market for American weapons. |
| second: The Trump Coin! The front of the coin features an image of Trump in a suit and tie and with a stern look on his face. A federal law passed in 1866 that explicitly prohibits living people from appearing on U.S. currency. It's not a grey area. It's not open to interpretation. It's been sitting in the books for over 150 years. The last time this actually happened was 1926 when a coin featuring Calvin Coolidge was minted while he was still alive and serving as president. The backlash was immediate. The coins were pulled. And the law was reaffirmed.

| second: Trump: “I'm the one that started that program. NASA was closed. It was totally closed. There was grass growing on the runways. I went there. I was there in Florida. Got pictures of all of their facilities. They had grass growing out of their cracked asphalt in Florida and elsewhere. And you know I said this is terrible – let's start it up. So we started it up and it gave great pride – everybody watched that the other day.” Trump was claiming credit for starting the Artemis lunar program, which began in 2012 under the Obama administration.

| 6ixStringJack: I hope Kash was fired. I've been calling for that for a very long time. He's a piece of shit. |
| second: The FBI Director Is MIA.
Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences. [go to link] On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.” |
| second: Ukraine Has Finally Given Up on Trump. The interesting thing that comes out of this Ukrainian pivot is that they are not doing it out of desperation. Writing the United States off as a friend might once have been a sign of doom for Ukraine. It isn’t anymore. [go to link] |

| 6ixStringJack: You're right. He should be suing Rachel Maddow and MSNOW instead. |
