That's a weird assumption. Many Jews strongly oppose it, including Bernie Sanders, Jon Stewart, Ben and Jerry from the ice cream, and probably millions of less famous Jews.

Honestly, if he can get them to switch from those gas guzzlers to Teslas, that would still be better. But for that to work, the brand has to be utterly reviled by any "libtards". So keep sinking Tesla and let the Nazis rescue it.

Yeah, progressives need to take over the party. That, or start a new one without the baggage in order to really change the system, but that's a lot harder. Not doing either of these is just giving up.

Don't you see what kind of slippery slope this is? What's next? Affordable housing? Free healthcare??

The reason Kennedy left the Democratic Party and joined Trump, is because Kennedy is a dangerous idiot and Trump os a gullible fool, and Democratic voters don't tolerate his idiocy.

Trump switched for the same reason. He said so explicitly: Republicans are easier to con.

To explain and expand a bit on this: Frederick the Great was likely gay or at least somewhat queer, but also a military innovator who laid the basis for Prussia's iron discipline. Back then units were most effective when in perfect formation, but moving around the battlefield disrupted formation, hence the invention of the goose step to rapidly move units around on the battlefield without losing formation. Invented by a gay king.

So today we've got homophobic dictators emulating that for pure theatre and looks, over a century after it has lost any military purpose.

Good! The unreliability of German trains has been utterly surreal lately. We went on vacation by train from NL to Switzerland last year, and of course that connection goes through Germany. Confusion, delays, cancelled trains, 5 layovers with a ton of luggage (instead of the 1 we booked), standing in trains instead of sitting in our reserved first class seats. Even if you don't arrive all that late, it's still a terrible trip.

Before that, I've had a major event at Essen where the last connecting train to the ICE from Düsseldorf was cancelled. Tons of people stranded. I made it by paying through the nose for a taxi because I saw that their replacement bus wasn't going to make it.

Some fixes to their crumbling system are clearly long overdue.

Not the first time. In the 1980s, Israel sought to undermine PLO (which wanted a 2 state solution) and supported a group opposed to PLO called, I believe, Hamas.

Ooh! I need to look that up.

D is the correct answer, but do you trust a game show to know that?

Sounds interesting, but considering how thick hydroelectric dams need to be to hold back a mere lake, how thick are these spheres going to be to hold back an entire ocean?

That was fun. Apparently I'm a JetBrains Mono user. Of course it might be simply what I'm used to, because I'm a long time IntelliJ user. It wouldn't surprise me if this is already my font.
