You get a photo, then guess where and when it is. Kind of like Geoguessr, but more for the Languish crowd. :P

Went with, "Not that likely, but there's still a real chance (~10% to 40%)".

I think its a low chance as long as Trump and MAGA hold power. They seem to be pretty ok with the US collapsing on the global scene and acting as a bully toward weaker countries rather than a pillar of support to international peace and power balance. I see Trump being more than willing to abandon the Baltics to Russia and Taiwan to China. Oddly enough, I almost think that the chances increase dramatically if an old guard Democrat takes office. I could easily see a war against China or Russia utilized as a "rally round the flag" type effort to "mend" the Divided States of America that currently exist.

Where's the left now?

What a moron. When people start talking about "why do they..." when not naming "them" except in the most vague terms ("the left") they are just virtue-signalling.

I don't know of anyone, left or right, in this country who has failed to condemn the Iranian regime and its humane rights abuses when given the opportunity. MAGAts like Maher are just trying to score political points within their own cult.

Quote from: bogh on Today at 06:01:46 AMI find the discussion on whether she was complying, whether she was a protestor, what went before etc to be fairly pointless.

None of that should carry the penalty of point blank execution. Whether it's legal or not, it's clearly disproportionate, amoral, incompetent and so very unnecessary. Nothing necessitates this, nothing is achieved by it, except human tragedy.

Indeed. There is no scenario discussed where the correct, or, I hope, even legal, answer is to shoot her in the head several times at point blank range.

Denmark apparently reiterated the rule that its soldiers are to shoot first and ask questions later if 'events' happened...

The location of the bullet hole in the windshield, from the first shot fired, indicates pretty clearly that the shot was not fired from in front of the vehicle.

The videos also show that the ICE agent started drawing his gun before the vehicle had even started moving.  If the agent had time to draw his gun, he had time to move away from the front of the vehicle (where no professional law enforcement officer would ever place himself.

Look at that slogan. If you know your Spanish Civil War, you'll recognize "Uno de los nuestros vale por todos los vuestros" made famous by the falangists.

They're not even hiding it anymore.

That is so outrageous that I had to double check to ensure that it wasn't photoshopped.  It wasn't.

Quote from: Sophie Scholl on January 10, 2026, 02:32:18 PMI don't think she was a worthy person to receive it. It felt like giving it to Trump and those of his mindset in vibe if not in name.

So she's a righty?

I don't know anything about her myself. Maybe I'll look her up later. I actually only know two Nobel winners, both for the peace prize, and both because them winning pissed off trump :lol:

She does like to align herself with the Trump/Milei types. Whether that's out of necessity I don't know.
