Democrats trash Howard Schultz 2020 float
He said on “60 Minutes” that the United States is in a “fragile time” not only because Trump is “unqualified,” but because of “the fact that both parties are consistently not doing what’s necessary on behalf of the American people and are engaged every single day in revenge politics.”Lamenting “extremes on both sides,” Schultz said, “I am seriously thinking of running for president.” If he runs, he said, “I will run as a centrist independent outside of the two-party system.”

Russiagate ‘conspiracy derangement’: Even Bernie Sanders is a Russian agent, argues MSM journalist
Progressive godfather Bernie Sanders is rumored to be ready to announce a run for the presidency in 2020. He’s the most popular senator in the US, but according to one columnist, he’s also an agent of Putin. Yes, really.Senator Bernie Sanders didn’t run in 2016 to push his bold platform of economic and social justice on America. No, instead his campaign was orchestrated by the Kremlin to divide the left and help Donald Trump take the presidency.

How much do we blame Eastern Europeans for the Holocaust? Without Germany they wouldn't have done it, and of course it's taboo to hold Jewish collaborators accountable since they faced death, so why is there a movement to hold Eastern Europeans responsible? Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Of course that doesn't justify denial, but why do they need to deny anyways? I'm half German and I'm much more comfortable accepting 100% blame for the Holocaust for the Germans than, say, WWI (to the extent that a nation can bear responsibility).

OP/ED

Complacency and the Environmental Catastrophe
Ask any reasonably well-informed person what the cause of climate change is and the chances are they will say greenhouse gas emissions (GGE’s), but they would only be partially correct. While it is true that man-made GGE’s are clogging Earth’s lower atmosphere, trapping heat and resulting in widespread climate change, the underlying 21st century cause, in contrast to the 19th and early 20th century when information was scarce, is something much more personal and lethal: complacency. Widespread complacency among politicians, big business and to a lesser degree, the general public, is the reason why, despite the various cries for restraint, global GGE’s continue to increase.Complacency is why air pollution is getting worse in cities and towns across the world, leading to a range of health problems and premature deaths; complacency has caused the destruction of the planet’s rain forests, 85% of which have been lost through human activity, and it’s why the oceans have been poisoned and robbed of fish.

Global Gains on Right to Repair
The right to repair movement has seen some recent modest gains, as Ifixit.org reports in Right to Repair is already hurtling into action in 2019:Over the last few years, the rag-tag Right to Repair coalition has scored a number of victories: legalizing cell phone unlocking in Congress, getting the FTC to rule “warranty void if removed” stickers null and void, and convincing the US Copyright office to grant a number of repair exemptions to federal copyright law. And in 2018 alone, Right to Repair made groundbreaking headway on the state level: 19 states introduced Right to Repair legislation—a big uptick from 12 repair-friendly states in 2017.Here’s a list of the 2019 battlegrounds so far: Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia. Several more states are in the works.

Why does the New York Times keep pushing pernicious racialism?
The New York Times critic-at-large Wesley Morris published an article January 23 headlined “Why Do the Oscars Keep Falling for Racial Reconciliation Fantasies?”The article does not precisely argue that “reconciliation” between blacks and whites is itself a “fantasy,” but that is unquestionably Morris’s implication. He suggests that there is simply too much “bad blood” inherited from America’s past for blacks and whites ever to get along.Morris, who began writing for the Times in 2015 after a stint with the Boston Globe, belongs to the group of film and arts commentators at the newspaper, including A. O. Scott, Manohla Dargis and others, who view the world almost entirely through the prism of race or gender, or both. Their work, whatever their conscious intentions may be, amounts to a relentless cover-up of economic inequality in America, as well as an argument for already affluent black and other minority layers to advance themselves farther.

I announce Jimmy Dore to be interim president of the US. Trump has eight days to step down. All options are on the table.
It's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine free education in anglo-saxon countries.
Pretty sure they specifically mean "Poland".
Reminder that some libs think that the UN is antisemitic because they often vote against Israel
Good, they should double down if they want to survive. Concessions get you killed.
I wouldn't be surprised if the US was involved in thus fraud, especially the Democratic establishment as they love meddling in Caribbean nations
Reminder that the US has violated Russian airspace in the Yeltsin era to a ridiculous degree
Pretty controversial from a Marxist perspective. On one hand a regulated, unionised taxi industry is better than Uber, on the other hand these people probably just barely get by without it.
Rename it back to Leningrad then
Who even likes this guy? I'm sure some libs and non-partisan faggots will shill for him because of Starbucks.
Obviously
At this points it's pretty obvious that they are deliberately lying and deceiving the public. Even the most delusional MSM stooge can genuinely believe this anymore.

On the other hand, i doubt Germany could have carried it out alone wirhout the hundreds of complicit collaborators, especially in Ukraine.

The SS was actually quite a multi-ethnic army. They even had black guys in it.

Video extracted from the official You Tube channel of the new Ukrainian National Corps Division which is a branch of the Azov Right Sector Regiment, an official branch of the Ukrainian military, that has been receiving US, EU, Canadian and Australian military support, hardware and funding since 2014. The newly formed battalions banner appears to be a flag that incorporates both elements of the Ukrainian Trident flag along with the symbol of the Misanthropic Division which makes up part of the Azov regiment. A large number of members of the White Hammer group also make up portions of the Azov Regiment, Misanthropic Division and new Nationalist Volunteer Division. The White Hammer groups is led by the White Fuhrer Andrey Biletskiy, who is also the commander of the Azov Regiment and its subordinated units.

No German actually did any killings. They handed it out to Eastern Europeans. That picture on Wikipedia about the Eastern Front and the German shooting the woman? That's actually a Serb. You can tell by the position of the receiver on the rifle he has, which is Serbian.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Fucking lol.
