‘North Korea’s true crime? It’s not completely dominated by the US’

There’s a plan in place with every US presidency to topple the government in North Korea because – like Syria – it’s not completely dominated and recolonized by Washington, says Daniel Shaw, a public affairs expert and professor at the City University of New York.

Top kek. How will they ever recover? Is he going to start his own EU, with kebabs and polygyny?

Love finds a way, as they say

i miss rachel

White women can't resist the BBMuslimC

I know, where is the guy who did these? I don't want comic sansfag doing them.

why do all the good drawfags tease us then leave us? it sucks

He's just going to flood the EU with the millions of Syrian refugees he's been holding back.

Because capitalism commodifies art, and they realize niche subcultures of leftists weeaboos are not profitable.

This is amazing
Except for the fact they probably paid for those cans

You're forgetting the popular strategy of using niche communities to build a base to break into more mainstream areas.

Sometimes you just have to do what feels right.

she was kicked out of reddit for being excellent by association so if that's the case i think she messed up

Everyone gets kicked out of reddit. She only got kicked out because someone from her reported her for catgirls being woman hateric and as usual the mods were too beta to question it.

Thats the way i see it

that was a fun couple of days

What level of chess is this?

This is so fucking good.

Some slowpoke news (apparently, haven't been posted).

10 years of prison for selling Soviet flags:

sounds like they need liberators

Annie Lowrey is such a qt.

That is one hell of a broad category. Considering that half the military is fucking the other half I am surprised that the number is that low.

Relax. This shit happens every year.

Groping is sexual assault, fam

Court Documents Reveal DNC Forced Bernie Out To Appease Hillary

I have no idea if this was posted in the past couple of days but this story is being completely ignored. I can only wonder why…

FUCK

thank you for this! I keep forgetting to manually add updates on the case because none of the usual sites I frequent for the daily news have been covering it.

Is that actually what the lawsuit is about? My understand is it's more about all the other legal things the DNC did to rig the primary against Bernie. It would be amazing if people are actually fucking fighting election fraud (which did happen) for once though.

Trump's such an alpha male that he lets his wife run the government

*daughter
I keep getting his wife and daughter mixed up lol

No, it's groping. Groping is not inherently non-consensual nor is it anything akin to rape. What is with this urge to collect numerous disparate concepts under one sensationalist umbrella?

European reactionaries are abusing the radical feminist definition of rape.

Unsure TBH

Please tell me Holla Forums is sperging out over this
Look, US imperialism aside, I genuinely pity the people who live there.

For the FBI, it was a catastrophic betrayal. For the German rap scene, it was Tuesday.

I'm a member of a group that sponsors education/training for legal professionals on restorative justice, like drug courts. Trust me, even experimenting with that court is a good thing.

NewsAnon, you're doing a fan-fucking-tastic job anyways. I look forwards to your threads everyday.

She was an ugly 30-something career woman who was probably charmed by third world male behavior (i.e. normal male behavior prior to American capitalism.)

Jared Kushner didn't disclose business ties to George Soros, Peter Thiel, and Goldman Sachs, or that he owes $1 billion in loans

Pence: Trump considering moving US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem

Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is seriously considering moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem — something he pledged to do as a candidate that would nonetheless prove controversial.
politico.eu/article/mike-pence-israel-embassy-move-jerusalem-donald-trump/

The mad men are actually going to do it. Wew.

Which was?

Why is this important? Help out a dumb fucker.

moving the embassy to Jerusalem will piss off every muslim on the planet and probably start another mideast war.

Good. FULL ACCELERATION

Having the America embassy be in Tel Aviv is an accomodation to Palestine

If the American Embassy in Israel is set up in Jerusalem, that sends a message to Palestinians (and to the entire Muslim world, really) that the USA now considers Jerusalem to be complete Israeli territory

FWIW, I don't believe they'll actually do it. I think it's just lip service to the neocons and Israeli lobby

She realized that pandering to leftist weaboos isn't going to pay her bills or look good in her resume, so she dropped the political catgirl series. I don't blame her personally.

And that, kids, is how I met your mother.

But if it is, it's sexual assaults you fucking retard.

go to her twitter and send her "I miss you, drawfag" every day

Except for,
This time it was just capitalism and having to make a living.


Add to that, the fact that Hamas said "ok, Palestinian State with 1967 borders BUT Jerusalim as Capital".. and then this happens.
