In Philip K. Dick's novel The Man in the High Castle he paints a scenario where the Allies lost WWII, and the US is divided in half by Japan and Germany. In this world, Germany has two priorities they are rigorously pursuing, to the point of possibly bankrupting their country: colonizing outer space and continuing the Holocaust until complete eradication. He contrasts this with the Japanese who he depicts as curious and simpatico, and that they are quite aware that the reasons the Germans detest the Jews could easily be applied to them, and perhaps someday will be. It's an easy read that involves a lot of thought. No comment on the teevee movie they made a few years ago, as I didn't see it.

There's that scene in the movie Schindler's List where the recon soldier on horseback sees his first solid of proof of these rumored death camps, and the surviving kid looking back at him is incredibly moving. And there is no dialogue. It is as if each are questioning whether they are dreaming.

One of my favorite movie lines is from NxNW: What I want to know is how a girl like you becomes a girl like you.

Trump Accused of 'Market Manipulation' in Tariff Reversal Shocker!
bendejo replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
By name checking CS he did him no favor. He implicated him. This is his Valdemort aspect: everyone that throws in with him comes out for the worst, and he just skips away. Oh my! Adam Schiff, Liz Warren and Chuck Schumer on the case? I'm sure DT is quaking in fear already! 😁 I've been watching these political and media lackeys, market poobahs etc exuberantly polishing his buttocks, "economic genius" etc. Truly sickening. On the other hand for $2.5 billion , , , I guess it's time to watch 'The Magic Christian' again. -

This pic will be in circulation long past his lifetime. And that other president with the chain saw. The one with the sink, too. -

If they pushed this the right way they could come up with something akin to a state religion, which I suspect is the fundamental motive.

Pranksters been arrested farting

Get arrested in the US and you might be shipped off to El Salvador. This is the MAGA way. In keeping with the subject at hand, you can end up in a country where beans and lentils are a central part of the diet, and you know what that means! -

It is known as market manipulation, falls under the same category and handled by the SEC all the same. It's like the difference between a hold-up and a mugging. If you don't understand this, well . . . Save the inane and pointless hair splitting for your Fox friends. -

Are you claiming that Republicans are too moral to do such a thing? -

When this one worked I figured he's going to be doing this all the time. I'm surprised at how quickly they are going after him. In his previous time in the WH the response would only be a chorus of "ooo, he's not supposed to do that!" -

Saw a piece of an interview with Sam Jackson recently. He said they also shot a version of the scene where he kills Honeybunny. -

A stable? Like where they keep the jackass? Ok, maybe he is the smartest one in the stable.
