ITs kind of funny they call others cultist. while they worship the state and attack any narrative outside of it. believing they have some knowledge others don't (hallmark of a cult) but then again, they have this common practice of gaslighting and accusing others of doing/being exactly what they are. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Keep using all the isms. Meanwhile you expect people to believe that 48% of the country are white male nazi sympathizers. Hate to break it to you but intelligent college educated men and women of all races voted for Trump. Having different politics than you, doesn't automatically make someone base, misogynist or racist. That's the real ignorant thinking. Edited September 29, 2023 by thenorthremembers 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point, even though Trump is obviously a threat to our republican institutions, those college educated Republicans will still vote for the guy. Many people that voted for Jim Crow laws were educated too, so what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/30/henry-kissinger-cambodia-bombing-war/ From 1969 to 1973, as secretary of state and national security adviser under President Richard M. Nixon, Kissinger ordered the carpet bombing of large swaths of Cambodia that U.S. officials at the time claimed were sanctuaries for communist insurgents from South Vietnam as well as North Vietnamese soldiers. Ben Kiernan, a historian at Yale University and a leading scholar on the U.S. legacy in Cambodia, has estimated that around 500,000 tons of U.S. bombs were dropped on Cambodia during this period and that these indiscriminate attacks killed as many as 150,000 civilians. The scale of this bombing campaign, internally called Operation Menu, was kept secret from the American public for many decades, though leaked and declassified records have revealed that Kissinger personally “approved each of the 3,875 Cambodia bombing raids.” In 1970, according to declassified transcripts of his telephone conversations, Kissinger spoke to Nixon about the situation in Cambodia before relaying the following order to his deputy Alexander Haig: “He wants a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. … It’s an order, it’s to be done. Anything that flies, on anything that moves. You got that? ” Rise of a genocidal regime Historians have also widely credited the U.S. bombing campaign with contributing to the rise of the totalitarian Khmer Rouge regime, which carried out a host of atrocities during its four-year rule, including the genocide of minority groups. Between 1.5 and 3 million people — or about 1 in 4 Cambodians at the time — were killed under the Khmer Rouge, led by dictator Pol Pot. Of 5 million survivors, at least a quarter live with trauma, say local researchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Sandra Day O'Connor https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/12/01/sandra-day-oconnor-supreme-court-justice-dead/ Sandra Day O’Connor, the first female U.S. Supreme Court justice, whose independence on a court that was often ideologically divided made her the pivotal vote in numerous closely contested cases and one of the most powerful women of her era, died Dec. 1 in Phoenix. She was 93. The cause was complications from advanced dementia, probably Alzheimer’s disease, and a respiratory illness, according to an announcement by the court. Justice O’Connor had said in October 2018 that she had dementia and was exiting public life. In her nearly quarter-century as a justice, sworn in on Sept. 25, 1981, after being appointed by President Ronald Reagan, to her retirement on Jan. 31, 2006, to care for her husband, who had Alzheimer’s, she tried to avoid what she called “giant steps you’ll live to regret.” She rejected the idea of eliminating the right to abortion, for example, in part because “an entire generation has come of age” relying on it, she wrote. Instead, she co-wrote the principal opinion in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992), setting a new standard for judging abortion cases but reaffirming the core holding of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in 1973.

B-Man Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Obituary without a political narrative. Sandra Day O'Connor, former Supreme Court Justice, dead at 93 Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to sit on the nation's high court, has died, the Supreme Court announced. She was 93. O'Connor died Friday morning in Phoenix, Arizona, of complications related to advanced dementia, probably Alzheimer's, and a respiratory illness, the Supreme Court said in a statement. In a statement, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. praised O'Connor as a history-making justice with a fierce independent streak. "A daughter of the American Southwest, Sandra Day O’Connor blazed an historic trail as our Nation’s first female Justice. She met that challenge with undaunted determination, indisputable ability, and engaging candor," Roberts said. "We at the Supreme Court mourn the loss of a beloved colleague, a fiercely independent defender of the rule of law, and an eloquent advocate for civics education. And we celebrate her enduring legacy as a true public servant and patriot." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sandra-day-oconnor-former-supreme-court-justice-dead-93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
