It's all good. I appreciate this forum for the sounding board it is in voicing contrary opinion.

It works like this: You notice that colleague X has what is, in your mind, is an affliction. You then take it upon yourself to castigate him for his affliction — irrespective of whether or not it impairs his on-the-job performance or has a negative effect on group morale.
What makes this dynamic so ugly is that unbeknownst to the person under attack, the critic is being driven to criticize by a repressed-and-intolerable feeling that he’s “got” what he deplores in others.

Everyday, and if you are a Caucasoid it can get worse for you. In the new world order.

Well, at least someone finally came right out and attempted to tell the truth. But then the usual political deflection “The president blamed the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and what he described as greedy oil and meat companies’ price spikes — rather than government spending.”

Biden finally admits soaring inflation a ‘real tough problem,’ suggests it may get worse

What a waste of time and money, until these Aliens present themselves to the worlds population as our New Overlords and Masters I would say that they are nonexistent until then, Congress really need to get a grip on what matters and what doesn't matter, Supreme Court decisions matter, Nonexistent Aliens don't.

Meanwhile, what has just happened in El Salvador could soon be happening to the Good Ol Halfwits of the USA.

El Salvador mother, 28, is jailed for 30 years for 'homicide' after suffering a miscarriage

H'mmm, why isn't the male who impregnated her not in prison as well?, he's not been charged and convicted for being an accessory to the miscarriage, as it's half his fault he should get the same sentence as her.

Me thinks if that happened they'd soon overturn these stupid abortion laws they've adopted, an appeal needs to be lodged citing the males part in the pregnancy and also the miscarriage of justice that the male has avoided as well, I reckon that will stop these trials for the next ten or twenty years or until plain common sense prevails.

Not to derail the US-politics to much

Would you as an Alien take contact with a violent human race-I wouldn't I would monitor the planet and then leave. Then send my observation to the right receiver(don't know what they would be) with the words-Are far from ready to be contacted..

Compared to aliens' unimaginable violence humans' violance maybe rate as helpless and boring sheep-counting to get better sleep.

In case anyone is interested. This is a copy of the draft opinion obtained from the SCOTUS.

This is late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s opinion of Roe v. Wade.

For those who were wondering if Biden just simply forgot to deploy troops. Well here it is!

Biden Approves Plan to Redeploy Several Hundred Ground Forces Into Somalia

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...lia/ar-AAXlbyi

Unfortunately I don’t think he’s even aware of what the hell is going on! We know this only because it was a ‘secret’ disclosed by some anonymous person speaking for the president that said so. WTF!? Over

Together, the decisions by Mr. Biden, described by the officials on the condition of anonymity, will revive an open-ended American counterterrorism operation

To this day I’m still flabbergasted and amazed at the massive amount of bandwidth consumed and pages upon pages of empty mindless fanboi words written here declaring how much better it will be, if only! SHOULD have known nothing was really going to change. Gullible morons

Don't feel so smug, Trumptanic had to be sunk....

[Rockstar]

Smug would suggest you think I’m somehow satisfied. To tell the truth, I’m far from it. In fact I don’t know wether to laugh or cry.

Besides anonymous officials telling, us off record, of ‘secret’ troop deployments has anyone heard from sleepy Joe in the last hundred days?

Trumptanic had to be sunk....

Btw, give yourself a pat on the back tiger I’m sure you think you deserve it

More like a USS West Virginia which returned to fight again in 1944 after another kind of "sneak" attack in '41.

[Onkel Neal]

Oh boy, Sleepy Joe just stepped in it big time. The US will militarily defend Taiwan? That's pretty big news.

Where have you been for the last 50 years?

We've always supported Taiwan, just look at their aircraft junkyards.
Now, look at their air bases. Those aren't Migs or Mirages.
Sometimes that support has been "tacit" and we just didn't talk about it, but its always been there.
