In France, if a foreigner serving in the French Foreign Legion was injured in combat, he is automatically declared Français par le sang versé. Meaning French by spilled blood. When he is given medical treatment the first form he is to fill out as soon as he is able is an application of French citizenship which will be automatically granted.

I honestly cannot think of a bigger show of loyalty than that. What kind of impression do they think they are making?

This is why, as a Canadian, I will not be going to the US any time soon.

Don’t mess with the Zohran!

Most assassinated politicians become lionized and turned into heroes, even if the reality did not convey that. For Shinzo, however, Japan basically collectively agreed that he was an asshole and his reputation was ruined. That rarely happens.

Imagine if the assassination attempt on Trump in 2024 was successful and then… not only does MAGA die immediately, but even the most die hard MAGA people immediately say ‘yeah Trump was a dipshit anyway.’

Hitler considered Italians to be racially inferior to even the French. Also there was little cooperation between the axis powers. They didn’t share much technology and or industrial power. Unlike the allies who were far more cooperative.

For example many people make a big deal about Hitler’s plan for nuclear weapons… but what no one talks about is Japan’s nuclear program… and how much closer they got to making a functioning nuke. There was very little information sharing between Japan and Germany, however.

In terms of industry, the Italian air force often had decent airframes but poor engines. The Germans had excellent engines but didn’t do much to help the Italians with their air force logistical issues.

Take this in comparison to the US which absolutely flooded its allies with everything from cutlery to explosives to fuel and everything in-between. The Soviet army was bolstered greatly by American trucks, jeeps, and heavy machinery that would have made winning the war incredibly difficult.

I am pretty sure whoever really Luigied Brian Thompson will Luigi any conspirators.

But in all seriousness, he needs a major security detail at all times, and he needs to be pragmatic about public appearances.

I have no idea how anyone can think that baby baskets for newborns is a bad thing.

Correct. But it is not the same.

I haven’t used Chrome in years. Brave and firefox, that’s my crowd.

Wasn’t he the children’s author who published the book about a talking animals learning the value of hard work or something?

Well with new Jurassic park/world stuff coming out, there’s 90s stuff going on, too.

I am an eye witness to such an event of chickens eating meat. Not chicken meat, but either beef or lamb.

I have a cheapass printer that is probably listening to me. It has little ink (i barely used it and the black ink is at 50%) i use the scanner feature more often.

Let them eat THEIR OWN shit.

The bears in the New Hampshire debacle is a thing of legend.

Every last one of their communities is nothing but a leech and extortion of others. Every single one. Why not use a fraction of his immense wealth to improve the infrastructure?

I honestly wouldn’t know. I live in Canada and police vehicles here are incredibly obvious and marked. Some unmarked vehicles do exist, but they are for detectives and people going after more serious crimes and dont care about parking tickets and jaywalkers.

Also many people may not necessarily know how a real ICE badge looks like. And fake badges are available for collectors and cosplayers alike. Also most people will not fully check or examine a badge or insignia, meaning by the time they realize it is fake it will be too late.

I do… and always will.

We are not talking Saudi Arabia. We are talking Iran.

But there is something I need to mention about Saudi Arabia and executing gay men. I did look at a list of executions for the charge of sodomy (which is what it is referred to as. Simply identifying as a gay man doesn’t appear to be an offense. They need to catch two men in the act for it to happen) is when those executions happen it was never just for sodomy, it was usually compounded by another (universally serious) offense such as rape of a child and/or murder.

So the gay men being executed weren’t just accused of fucking another man, but also of killing another person (quite possibly the same guy) or of raping a child.

Now am I missing some cases? Maybe. I dont spend that much time looking at Saudi Arabia’s prolific executions (they execute more people per capita than any other country), but most people executed in Saudi Arabia aren’t gays, they are drug smugglers.

I do not agree with the death penalty at all. So even executing drug smugglers is off-limits to me. Drugs should be legalized (or at least decriminalized) and strictly regulated, but no prison time for them, and certainly not an execution.
