IT KEEPS HAPPENING

welcome to the world of the american communist conservatives

TYBNA

Not bad, even if it's just anti-Trump resentment.

TYBNewsAnon2.0

Fuck off, based news user.

Thank you based newⒶnon 2.0

Thank You Based News user

What the fuck is their problem

They can't handle daddy Castro's cummies

They don’t want Cuba to increase it’s power because Cuba is against Israeli apartheid.

Majority of Americans want right to express unpopular opinions, even if it offends – poll

ur totally right. I literally saw it was Cato shit when I was going through it but apparently in my rush to get the news out, I accidentally tossed it in with the rest. my b.

Nah dude, Raoul is ugly now, Fidel aged like fine wine though.

GODSPEED YOU! BASED NEWSANON


as a former journalist I both understand and am disappointed with your oversight.

I never said it had to be living user

you want me to remove it for you?
I check every thread you make, you can always let me know if there's anything that needs fixing

reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-socialmedia/u-s-lawmakers-release-sample-of-russian-bought-facebook-ads-idUSKBN1D15GU

sure thing, I'd appreciate it!

Okay I have got to give it to Putin: the Russian psyops are fucking superb.

Whenever you need it, make a post about it and then report your own post so one of us sees it.

gotcha!

Is it all still just "suspected russian government backed ads" or what?

These ads are hilarious though. America's identity politics are so easy and obvious to provoke.

what kind of job would it be to just shitpost all day for rubles

Not different from shitposting for free when on neetbux, except the shitposting is the source of the income.

Russia can play the idpol game that's for sure kek

Apologies if this was posted in previous threads but:

Birmingham littered its streets with enormous Amazon boxes. The mayor of Kansas City bought a thousand items on Amazon and reviewed them all. Tucson sent Amazon a 21-foot saguaro cactus, which Amazon declined. […]

There’s something sad about watching suffering post-industrial cities like Gary plead for an investment from Amazon. (Gary’s mayor issued a heartfelt appeal, on the mistaken assumption that Jeff Bezos possesses a conscience.) It feels like the peasants are coming before the king, bearing whatever meager offerings they can scrape together, and begging him for his favor. Having humbled themselves at Bezos’ feet, praised his products and promoted his brand, nearly all of them will walk away with… nothing. Even though Bezos could single-handedly transform the economic fortunes of a place like Gary, the spoils will almost certainly go to a place that is already prospering.

Why doesn't he put his new HQ in Detroit? He could basically bully the city/state government there into giving him all sorts of insane deals.

Well, you can divine it from here:
slate.com/articles/business/metropolis/2017/09/your_city_will_lose_the_contest_for_amazon_s_new_hq.html
But I think one major part is that Detroit doesn't really have the means to do whatever he wants them to, such as a mass transit system or the leeway to cut taxes in advance.
Also, while Amazon doesn't care for its employees it does care about keeping up morale, especially for the well-paid higher ups. They wouldn't want to live in Detroit, even in a closed community.

waoh dood. thats preddy BEYST.

Zuck is no more. Now Bezos is supreme lord pork.


There's zionism and then there's whatever this collective dick sucking we're giving Israel is. I'm not one for the whole 'da jeeews' spiel but between this, the hurricane ordeal, and Bill S.720, I'm wondering what their end game is.
ffs the US literally props up Israel like liberals imagine we do Russia.

I mean at some point this is getting absurd. I truly can't understand how they aren't afraid this will all spectacularly backfire.

World Votes to Lift Blockade on Cuba as US, Israel Vote 'No'

The media is still insisting on Russia, the absolute madwomxn!


A good deal, perhaps most, of America's boner for Israel is religious in nature. Some Evangelical nonsense called dispensiosationalism. Basically, the Bible is literally true, so the Second Coming can only happen if the conditions in Revelations are fulfilled, and they include the establishment of Israel and, IIRC, its destruction. Americans take care of Israel because they need it to be their eventual sacrificial lamb.

At least Assange is talking about how that is all a spook invented in the 20th century

jesus how did i butcher that word so badly

Would you kill 18 people to get out of an arranged marriage?

burgers on suicide watch

I can't believe I haven't thought of the possibility of Israel hiring russian hackers or framing russia in some way to secretly prop up pro-Israel US politicians. This would hypothetically explain the multiple propositions of banning any "boycott of Israel or Israeli businesses" in case the truth got out.

If anything it's actually a good thing. Burgs are waking up. Positive left groups and advocacy could help ease that anxiety. No wonder DSA is blowing up.

What happens if someone decides fuck it, they're going through the blockade? Is the US going to order its warships to open fire on civilian vessels in the most unjustified use of violence seen in centuries?

Wow, but they were totally trying to install Trump in the white house!
