  1. What about the evidence that starvation was deliberately inflicted by the Nazis on those populations. You don't seem to have an answer for the fact that your claim that because the plan was only partially implemented it really wasn't implemented at all. As noted, there's plenty of evidence that the Germans purposely starved populations as part of their racist plan. And the POWs in Germany weren't fed better because they were in Germany, they were fed better because they were being used as slave labor. And of course it's ridiculous to claim that prisoners whom the Nazis viewed as subhumans, were only being starved because of logistics.
  2. Well, by your reasoning, anyone supporting any legislation that either increases the tax burdens on others that might have a beneficial effect on them or supports decreases that will lower their tax burden is greedy. Your is the kind of argument that resorts to making things personal when they have nothing reasonable to offer in the way of an argument.
  3. You sure about that? In today’s 6–3 decision, the Court held that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that they had suffered or likely would suffer harm as a result of the federal government’s communications with social-media platforms. It also ruled any such alleged harm would not be solved by the injunction sought by the plaintiffs. Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett noted that the record in this case indicated that platforms regularly consulted with a variety of outside experts, including federal Executive-Branch officials, about content-moderation decisions, and that platforms “continued to exercise their independent judgment” even after those conversations. https://www.freepress.net/news/press-releases/supreme-court-ruling-murthy-missouri-affirms-first-amendment
  4. Because Israel is an ally which depends on a lot of support from the West particularly the USA. And allies should be subject to harsher scrutiny.
  5. Farms? The rich are already investing massively in farms. Like a guy who is apparently your hero, Bill Gates. Hospitals? Thanks to privatization public hospitals are being taken over and often closed in the pursuit of profits. There are areas of the US that are now hospital deserts where pregnant women can't get health care thanks to those closures. Roads? Toll roads actually make money for governments. Why give that up to private interests?
  6. No, it doesn't. How exactly does proposing to raise taxes on the rich mean someone is greedy?
  7. This appellate ruling comes from the 5th circuit, a court that is too far to the right even for the current Supreme Court Again and again, U.S. Supreme Court slaps down 5th Circuit If the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was a boxer, you’d bet on the other guy. The 5th Circuit, which hears appeals from Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, had three rulings upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, and eight overturned, more than any other court this term. The conservative circuit court saw its rulings on abortion medication, gun control, administrative power and social media moderation all rejected by the Supreme Court. https://lailluminator.com/2024/07/07/5th-circuit/
  8. What's not surprising that you don't see that rudi49jr's point was that the 2 are mutually exclusive. You can't confess on the one hand that you really lost the election and on the other complain that you lost due to fraud. Well, I guess you can if you're Trump. It doesn't make sense, but when has that ever stopped him?
  9. Thanks for not providing links to any sources credible or otherwise. Even the JFK case, which is ancient history, takes no account of the shenanigans of the downstate Illinois Republican machine. And even if Kennedy had lost Illinois, the fact is that Kennedy had more than enough electoral votes to win the election anyway. https://archive.ph/O1xfX https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/08/08/heres-a-voter-fraud-myth-richard-daley-stole-illinois-for-john-kennedy-in-the-1960-election/
  10. Successful tech stocks have something different and better to offer. Truth Social isjust a pale imitation of Twitter. It's always been a meme stock.
  11. One thing that drove down the price of shares was the issuance of more shares. While this was allowed by the original agreement, it wasn't necessary. It didn't have to happen. Trump could have put a stop to it. And all those supporters of his might have shares that are worth somewhat more than they are now.
  12. What do you mean by "Trump has experienced the loss of billions and is willing to continue to lose more." What means does he have to stop the loss? Keep in mind that the tax cuts Trump had passed during his first adminstration were especially friendly to pass-through corporations and real estate interests. It just happens that most of Trump's businesses are structures as pass- through corporations and real estate is where most of his wealth lies. Where was the sacrifice in that?
  13. Now, there's a new covid vaccine that uses nasal vaccination. It's been astonishingly effect in animal tests. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-50133-2#:~:text=Vaccination protected the index hamsters,transmission in the lungs (Fig.
  14. A lowlife is someone who tries to explain away the deaths of millions by claiming it was unintentional when clearly it wasn't. As for the rest of your comments, thanks for polishing the haloes of Vance and Trump. No thanks for not offering evidence.
  15. And you can also choose not to not enable lowlifes. But Tucker Carlson and J.D. Vance chose a different course.
  16. Yes, people have a right to be bigoted. Other people also have a moral choice whether or not they want to associate with such bigots and lend them prestige and credibility.
  17. Because there's a group of right wing anti-semitic conspiracy mongers who continue to deny that it happened. We had one flagrant bigot either in this thread or another actually post references to their works.
  18. More B.S. about there not being enough food. Here's a tidbit from the Bundesarchiv which gives the lie to that. Apparently there was enough food when those Russian P.O,W.s were needed for slave labor: "Only when the early onset of winter 1941 caused a halt in the advance of Armed Forces, which meant that the war in the East would drag out for some time, and when parts of the German economy was threatening to stagnate because of the labour shortage growing rapidly again, the POWs were intended to be deployed in the Reich and were cockered up by feeding them increased food rations, as they said in the administrative language. Due to the maltreatment also in the Reich and very hard work especially in the defence and in the mining industry, which had to be carried out by Soviet POWs from then on, a further 1.3 million soldiers lost their lives." https://www.bundesarchiv.de/zwangsarbeit/geschichte/auslaendisch/russlandfeldzug/index.html.en
  19. As for Darryl Cooper, I guess we'll have to wait until some less fawning journalist asks him about the Holocaust. I predict that Cooper will give some sort of evasive answer like he hasn't researched the issue so he can't offer an opinion.
  20. Read it again. It says the plan was only partially implemented. Since when does "partially implemented" mean not implemented? What it means is that the plan for the deliberate extermination of millions of Slavs and others was only partially implemented. In fact the article goes into great detail how the plan was implemented at the beginning. For instance: Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany launched forced starvations and advanced a "war of annihilation" (Vernichtungskrieg) in the Eastern Front to implement the Generalplan Ost. The Wehrmacht implemented scorched-earth tactics throughout the region and forcibly expelled natives en masse to the east. Nazi officials then charted out buffer zones intended to serve as future Nordic settlements. Hunger Plan was Nazi Germany's strategy to forcibly starve around 31 to 45 million Eastern Europeans by capturing food stocks and redirecting them to German forces.[64][8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost At the end, the plan was no longer enforced because it drew away resources from a campaign that Hitler expected to be a cakewalk. But to claim that because it was only partially implemented means it was never implemented is blatant nonsense.
  21. Internal Documents Expose How Trump Fooled Investors on Truth Social The original pitch deck that Trump Media & Technology Group showed to its investors in 2022, including “hundreds of thousands of retail shareholders,” per CEO Devin Nunes, contained some pretty fantastical numbers. The company projected revenue of $114 million in 2023, which would then balloon to $835 million in 2024. .. By the end of the second quarter of 2024, TMTG had only taken in $836,000 and reported losses of $343 million. https://newrepublic.com/post/185674/donald-trump-truth-social-investors-bogus-data-fool
