Trump vs. Taylor Swift: A Battle He’s Bound to Lose
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
And what you seem immune to understanding is that Swift's audience does not consist of teeny boppers. It's older people both men and women. They're not so fickle. And what a tragedy it is for her not to have 100 million Americans t o interested in her music. That only leaves about 240 million. And hundreds of millions others worldwide. -

I don't know if it was you who originally posted that bit about her back, but as the article noted it's better. But trust you to attack a woman based on her appearance. -
Trump and Loomer: The relationship That Needs Explaining

Well, the charities cost him money. And where's the evidence that he rents out properties in Springfield to Haitians? -

I've already refuted that with actual evidence just 4 or post above. -

"His comments brought him publicity, which only can be positive." Because so few people have heard of him? -

Or maybe it's just another piece of Trump's reflexive stupidity. Maybe undecided voters will see that the Republican governor of Ohio is reproaching Trump and Vance, that threats of violence have disrupted life in that town, and decide not to vote for a pair of bullies and liars. -

Sure. Jewish Americans are far better educated than average and far more successful economically, but they don't understand what's in their best interests. Makes sense. In Oppositeworld. -
It's not just separate bedrooms. It's separate wings. Given that it's separate wings in Mar a Lago, that's quite a lot of distance between them. She never has to run into him if she doesn't want to. And given how often she's been seen with him in public during his campaign, it's clear she doesn't want to.

Especially Jewish Americans who voted 74% for Biden. -

But it's not just about the percentage in favor, it's about how many of those voters actually register and turn out to vote. -
Elusive Melania ‘living separately from Trump’ but could still be a secret weapon The couple occupy different wings of Mar-a-Lago, remaining apart just as they did at their three-storey Trump Tower apartment. https://inews.co.uk/news/world/melania-living-separately-trump-secret-weapon-2950737 Maybe someone wearing a Melania mask. But Melania herself, doubtful.

I don't know what you think this proves. Here's a shorter entry about Silesia: After World War I, Lower Silesia, having by far a German majority, remained with Germany while Upper Silesia, after a series of insurrections by the Polish inhabitants, was split. Part joined the Second Polish Republic and was administered as the Silesian Voivodeship. The Prussian Province of Silesia within Germany was divided into the Provinces of Lower Silesia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Silesia A very ethnically mixed area.

Whatever the accuracy of the casualty figures are for Rotterdam, the gist of your post is misleading nonsense. You don't explain why the mission was meant to be aborted and what that technical problem was. The mission was meant to be aborted because the Dutch had agreed to negotiate a surrender. But because of a glitch in communications not all the bombers were notified in time. Only some continued on. They didn't just bomb a butter factory. A butter factory? Really? They destroyed the entire old city of Rotterdam. And, of course, if the Dutch hadn't agreed to negotiate a surrender, the entire fleet of bombers dedicated to the task would have flown making the destruction much worse. In addition, the Germans threatened to do the same to Utrecht that they had done to Rotterdam if the Dutch didn't surrender. Here's a translation from the German Wikipedia entry: "Between 800 and 900 Rotterdam citizens lost their lives. 24,978 homes, 24 churches, 2,320 shops, 775 warehouses and 62 schools were destroyed. An area of 2.6 square kilometers was razed to the ground within a few minutes. In addition to the medieval center, the eastern suburb of Kralingen was most affected.[5][6] The city then surrendered. When, as a result of this attack, "the city of Utrecht was threatened with the same fate if its commander did not surrender immediately," the Dutch forces under General Henri Winkelman surrendered." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardierung_von_Rotterdam_1940 Looks like the kind of bombing that the Germans had practiced on Guernica. And the reason that Britain resorted to area bombing was that it failed at precision bombing. "In 1942 Bomber Command received a new aircraft – the Avro Lancaster – and a new leader – Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Harris. Accepting that precision bombing was proving impossible, the War Cabinet sanctioned 'area bombing' – the targeting of whole cities to destroy both factories and their workers. It was judged necessary to defeat an enemy that seemed on the brink of victory. Harris believed it could win the war and gained much public support when he sent 1,000 bombers against Cologne." https://duckduckgo.com/?sites=ihr.org&q=german+bombing+of+rotterdam&ia=web

Yes The American media,” Vance suggested, “totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.” “You just said that you’re ‘creating’ a story,” Bash responded. “You just said that this is a story that you created,” she repeated. Vance replied, “Yes!” https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4886524-jd-vance-lies-maga/

It Would Be Nice to Know Who Is Running the Government
placeholder replied to DougieMax's topic in Political Soapbox
Being "clear-eyed and cold-blooded" is actually the opposite of "Winning with her is visceral." The former is about being rational and unsentimental and the latter just the opposite. As though the motivation was winning for winning's sake and nothing more. -

A puppet who will brave the wrath of his masters, huh? Those malignant agents who surreptitiously destroy everyone who gets in their way? -
Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
placeholder replied to diceman's topic in Political Soapbox
Actually it's 3 quarters. And it makes it harder to count the votes? Seriously? Maybe if some loon demands hand recounts, but even then, how hard is "much harder". Basically, it's still arithmetic.
