Behind the Bastards did a good piece on the arguable complicity of the Times in the Holocaust over journalistic “neutrality”.

This is also pretty much incorrect. They might not have known specifics or scale necessarily, but if you read interviews RIGHT AFTER the war, pretty much everybody in German territory at least knew someone who had been dragged off to a camp, at gunpoint usually, and their house and possessions put up for auction literally within a week. After two or three of these, you get the message.
They knew, by and large, that these people were not coming back. These concentration camps were outside Germany, but many, if not most, Germans figured it out for themselves. Many were simply willing to put it aside because Depression Weimar was like Revolutionary France, and people were willing to take the first strongman that came across and said “hey I KNOW how we need to fix this, and it starts with THOSE GUYS whose fault it all is”.
The film evidence was for the core of the core of the empire - Berlin, Munich, etc, where your average citizen might’ve been afforded protection from the watching the nice Goldschmidt family marched out of their house, and for posterity so people couldn’t do what people in the US were already trying to do with the Native American genocide and chattel slavery.
I’ll also throw in November Kelly’s No Gods No Mayors, and occasional guests Failure To Launch (space disasters) and Beyond The Breakers (shipwrecks).
But you know who does employ children, Sophie?
Ohio has actually been required to redraw maps for 8 years now. After the 2016 election, it was found that our maps were too heavily biased by the OH Supreme Court, and they ordered a committee to redraw it. The committee is, of course, practically only staffed by GOPers, and they so far have submitted 8 maps that I know of. At least two of them were literally the same as the map that was found illegal, and the rest of them were found to not meet criteria either. They’ve been held in contempt multiple times but DeWine and friends seem not to really want to do anything about that.
None of his Cabinet will. All of them have been chosen mostly to make sure they don’t get in his way when his Wormtongue gives him ideas.
No, he knows. I don’t think he cares, because they’re not him. You fail to understand the mind of a narcissist - other people are not people, and the ones who actively say that they dislike you or what you stand for might as well be ants on the sidewalk for all the thought you give about them, ever.
Trying to look younger by defining the cheekbones and eyes more. She knows Trump and the rest of his cabinet won’t respect a woman who looks like a woman.
Because Netanyahu is one of his best and only friends. He does literally whatever he wants, all the time, with very little legally or factually to stop him. That’s attractive to a wannabe narcissist dictator, and even more attractive when you realize that half of his meetings with Trump are ego stroking for Trump and making him feel like a Vital Important player in Important Middle East Matters.
They don’t plan on having a “next” election. And those businesses will have their workers clearly supplied to them on contract from the federal labor camps they’re already working to build.
Indians, Chinese, or Muslims is my guess.
They’re already planning to have massive ICE camps here in the US, they just cut a $45bn contract for tons more, contracting with private prisons, camping manufacturers, and more. We’re bringing back slave labor - if they’re detained, LEGALLY they can be used for labor without pay, at gunpoint.
Precisely this. He didn’t want a happy birthday parade, he wanted an “all this equipment can be used to kill you, no matter who or where” parade. He truly believes that all the military can and should be good for is death and misery and harming the people he thinks need to hurt. In his brain, they’re his personal faceless, nameless drones to inflict violence. He’s been using ICE for this, but ICE doesn’t make him look like his cool dictator friends in the way that rolling a column of Abrams down Mulholland Drive would.
While that’s true, we have to remember that nothing about this admin is usual. I’m sure we’ve had plans to invade Panama and Greenland and Canada for generations, surely since after WWII, but now we have an admin run by someone stupid enough to actually try it.
We absolutely have the ability to kill half the population if you’re not too picky about targeting and happy to rule through the idea of death from above rather than soldiers on the street in Mayberry. This also doesn’t account for police complicity, and the fact that there’s an alarming amount of right wingers who seem rather elated by the idea of potentially killing their liberal/leftists relatives, coworkers, classmates and neighbors.
Less lethal, not less than. TASER wound up in a big lawsuit after a guy died from cardiac arrest being hit by one, so most manufacturers changed it to “less than”, but then a couple more people died from being hit with beanbag/baton/rubber rounds, so now they’re marketed as “less lethal” because legally they can’t say “this can’t kill people” in their marketing when it absolutely can.
Make sure to replace them when they get hit though. They’re only rated for one strike, and after that the protection is not guaranteed.
It’s sort of Francoist: “I’ll kill half the country to satisfy my own ego”.
Spineless wording by the Guardian. ICE AGENTS THEMSELVES have stated plainly that these kids are bait. It’s not hidden, it’s not subtext, it’s just text, right there.
Oh no, he’s still trying to do that. It was one of the first things he ordered the Bureau of Prisons to do. He posted about it a few days ago, this time talking about somehow surrounding it with sharks (because of course).
