  1. Such a sensible comment. That's why almost every young and pretty woman who can sing and write songs becomes massively famous and wealthy. Whereas so few people in the hypercompetitive field of nursing, ever even manage to qualify as a nurse.
  2. I don't think you understand the phallus worship of so many right wingers. To them, a penis does double duty as as a morally sanitizing wand. Or is that triple duty?
  3. If I' have nothing, this evidence means you have less than nothing. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1477247/global-public-confidence-biden-trump/
  4. Another right wing party ignorant of Taylor Swift's demographic. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1372971/taylor-swift-fans-by-generation/ And given your comments about her sex life, it's not wonder that the right wing politics has been losing the support of women.
  5. Another party who thinks contrary to fact statements constitute valid evidence.
  6. And given that it's an invented number, me thinks you thinks you've got nothing. And given that it seems to be mainly right wingers who are find something negative in the number of partners a young woman has had, me also thinks you've got less than nothing.
  7. By the same token, we also don't know if it will increase her popularity, especially worldwide, where Trump is a very unpopular figure.
  8. "Swift has had 12 exes that we know of, which means her real body count is probably 36." When it comes to scraping the bottom of the barrel, you should look a lot closer to home. A lot closer.
  9. You're right. I'm wrong. I confused you with another poster. My apologies.
  10. Elsewhere you offer sleazy allegations about alleged sex acts committed by Kamala Harris sex and now it's Taylor swift's turn. "Swift has had 12 exes that we know of, which means her real body count is probably 36." When it comes to scraping the bottom of the barrel, you should look a lot close to home. A lot closer.
  11. You make an excellent point: Apparently, the following only happened in an alternative universe 2018 Swift endorsed opponent of right wing Republican Senator from Tennessee 2019 Swift urges Senator Lamar Alexander to support the Equality Act 2019: She called Trump's presidency an autocracy 2020 She endorsed Joe Biden 2022 Said she was terrified by the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade https://time.com/7020404/taylor-swift-endorsements-politics-timeline/ Cleary, if all that had happened in this universe, her career would long since have been toast.
  12. Pneumococcal vaccine is another one that should be taken be seniors. Apart from it's obvious benefit, it seems to have an even stronger strong preventive effect against dementia than does the flu vaccine. Pneumococcal Vaccination Lowers the Risk of Alzheimer's Disease: A Study Utilizing Data from the IBM® MarketScan® Database This study was aimed at assessing whether pneumococcal vaccinations are associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease based on analysis of data from the IBM® MarketScan® Database... Our findings demonstrated that the pneumococcal vaccine was associated with a 63% reduction in the risk of Alzheimer's disease among US adults aged 65 and older. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38269951/
  13. The figure on Transport vehicles which I supplied before is enough to give your claim the lie. As is the fact that over a third of their explosives were supplied by the USA. And I haven't done yet into the statistics of food supply, but if you like I will. And impugning Kruschev's words based on his alleged desire to ingratiate himself with Western leaders is quite tendentious. Especially, as you're the party that repeatedly alleges that Hitler negotiated in good faith despite his long history of betrayals.
  14. Brown had been separated from his wife for more than 10 years when he and Harris became an item. So the marriage was clearly dead, if not buried. Harris and Brown split up in 1995. It wasn't until 2003 that Harris became Attorney General. Please share with us where Brown acknowledged that Harris' commission of a certain sexual act advanced her career.
  15. Given that the gap in age between Trump and Melania Trump is 24 years, double standard much?
  16. Additionally, over the course of the war, the Americans delivered over 400,000 trucks and other vehicles to the USSR. During the same period, Soviet factories produced less than 200,000. Given the size and scope of the challenges in the vast Russian steppe, trucks were key in moving various classes of supply and labor over hundreds of miles. After the war, even Premier Nikita Khrushchev reported that the USSR was dependent on Western vehicles for its tactical advances in Stalingrad and Berlin. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/lend-lease-eastern-front#:~:text=Addressing this need%2C Americans provided,from factories to the front.&text=Additionally%2C over the course of,other vehicles to the USSR.
  17. Nonsense. You deliberately ignored the fact that there a short gap in time when it was supplied. The gap being when Russia wasn't producing what it needed to fight the war. You think the Germans were going to give the Soviets a time out while they regrouped?
  18. Why the fixation on tanks? What good are tanks artillery if they lack explosives for their munitions? Maybe the plan would be to replace the gun with a battering ram? And of course you ignore the huge amount of food that the US shipped to the Soviets because the war had destroyed so much of its agricultural capacity. And Lend Lease also provided so much of other materiel necessary to fight such a war.
  19. The case against a peace with Germany was clear. Hitler only made that final offer because his plan to invade Britain had been dashed by the failure of the Luftwaffe and the British neutralizing of the German navy. As subsequent events showed, he had much to gain and nothing to lose by making the offer. As for a renewed German navy threatening the Empire, actually it would have posed a direct threat to the UK. As for Hitler's support for the Morgenthau plan, at first he was strongly opposed. It was only after the US offered a sweetener in the form of substantial aid that he changed his mind. And as he later put it "At first I was violently opposed to the idea. But the President and Mr. Morgenthau from whom we had much to ask were so insistent that in the end we agreed to consider it".[30]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgenthau_Plan#:~:text=lost the war".-,British reaction,chained to a dead body". And you apparently don't understand how horrified the West was by Hitler's systematic exterminations.
  20. Such an apt comparison. All the blood shed at Mar a Lago by those murderous government apparatchiks. And what did they find Nothing incriminating at all except documents which for months Trump denied were in his possession. Shame on them!
  21. Ms. Trump was so indignant about the FBI search that she waited over 2 years to express her disapproval.
  22. "While executing its withdrawal, the USSR also displaced much of its industrial capacity safely east of the Urals. Having to rebuild itself in new locations, Soviet production numbers dropped appreciably during this period. Lend-Lease helped fill the gap between the time factories moved east and the production of new equipment once the industrial base was reestablished. Even if American equipment was only 4 percent of the Soviet industrial capacity, this stop-gap support came at a crucial time in the war. While the USSR did not receive significant support from Lend-Lease until 1943, shipments in 1942 were both welcomed and timely. In 1943, Soviet Premier Josef Stalin considered the American Lend-Lease aid already received to have been decisive." https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/lend-lease-eastern-front#:~:text=Lend-Lease helped fill the,crucial time in the war. On the larger question of the importance of Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union: Nikita Khrushchev, having served as a military commissar and intermediary between Stalin and his generals during the war, addressed directly the significance of Lend-lease aid in his memoirs: "I would like to express my candid opinion about Stalin's views on whether the Red Army and the Soviet Union could have coped with Nazi Germany and survived the war without aid from the United States and Britain. First, I would like to tell about some remarks Stalin made and repeated several times when we were "discussing freely" among ourselves. He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war. If we had had to fight Nazi Germany one on one, we could not have stood up against Germany's pressure, and we would have lost the war. No one ever discussed this subject officially, and I don't think Stalin left any written evidence of his opinion, but I will state here that several times in conversations with me he noted that these were the actual circumstances. He never made a special point of holding a conversation on the subject, but when we were engaged in some kind of relaxed conversation, going over international questions of the past and present, and when we would return to the subject of the path we had traveled during the war, that is what he said. When I listened to his remarks, I was fully in agreement with him, and today I am even more so.[45]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease
  23. Well, he graduated from Sandhurst, the military academy, did he not? As for your comment about Kaiser Wilhelm not serving in the military.... He never served because he was effectively 4F. A mishap during his birth meant he had a withered arm. As anyone who knows anything about the history of Germany preceding WW1, Wilhelm abandoned the measured and sensible policies of his parents and the brilliant Otto von Bismarck, who could see that Germany's rise to be the pre-eminent power in Europe would be unstoppable because of its economic success., Instead the Kaiser turned to jingoistic advisers. It seems clear in retrospect that Wilhelm wasn't mentally well.
  24. I get it. You've got nothing. So you try to make it personal.
