I don't think it bodes well she sat with Putin at a conference, whether there was "language barriers" or not.

Wondered where I remembered him from, it was this juxtaposition of photos:

Additional context: around the same time Governor Walz (upper) was signing a bill for guaranteed school lunches the Governer of Arkansas (lower) was signing a bill rolling back protections on child labor.

Seeing that picture reminded me his kids are biracial. So to add to this fatherhood moment: he also supports a man who doesn't respect someone of mixed heritage, the very thing his own kids are.

It's not cognitive dissonance, it's wilful suspension of the truth and the reason politics are driving wedges into our families and friends.

Lastly, I'm not a conspiracy theorist but if another country wanted to destroy us from within this seems like a good way to do it.

When Peterson pressed Musk for why he was switching to Trump, after long voting Democratic, Musk said that Democrats had become the party of censorship.

That's super ironic...

I said I'd take a stab at this, I think the cross view worked pretty well. Will be back as they bloom.

Feels like something the EU would eventually work on settling: making all tool manufacturers have a non-proprietary connector.

The Allies forced the German civilians to dig graves for the concentration camps so they could see the inhumanity their complacency and tacit approval caused. I've never appreciated my history classes more and I'm terribly sorry for the schools and children that are performing historical revisionism to well documented events.

Also, I went to the gatewaypundit site TFG linked to and read some comments. One commenter suggesting someone who disagreed commit suicide (and of course they knew how to bypass filters, so it's a tactic they use often). Folks are still suggesting the election was stolen then with the same breath saying to circle the ballot processing centers and not let vans through. The cognitive dissonance for these self-titled "critical thinkers" is beyond scary.

Edit: wanted to fact check my memory, here's a photo.

You guys remember Death Panels, the anti-Obamacare cry that legislatures want to get between you and your doctor to decide who can get care?

Every Republican who jumped on that bandwagon needs to eat crow and realize they flipped like a bitch when it suited their anti-abortion argument.

Think about it - this isn't like, "oh I can't believe the news she died!" This is straight up: "yep, died of old age, totally expected." She was on the way out for a long time and everyone who supported her being there knew she couldn't fulfill her job requirements yet let her stay in office for political reasons. Which doesn't make sense to me either: her seat wasn't going to be filled by a Republican.
