[...] there are these five ways in which others might criticize you. Their speech may be
timely or untimely,
true or false,
gentle or harsh,
beneficial or harmful,
from a heart of love or from secret hate.
When others criticize you, they may do so in any of these ways. If that happens, you should train like this: ‘Our minds will remain unaffected. We will blurt out no bad words. We will remain full of compassion, with a heart of love and no secret hate. We will meditate spreading a heart of love to that person. And with them as a basis, we will meditate spreading a heart full of love to everyone in the world—abundant, expansive, limitless, free of enmity and ill will.’ That’s how you should train.

So they gut it. And change it, and if it dies or is mutilated, that is a perfectly acceptable result, because they hated it anyway.
@jazzilla @Richard @anthk @threalist this foolishness is consistent with all other opinions from that district. It is clearly contradicted by the popularity of basketball which is dominated by people of African origin.

The reason for this was explained to me. And I completely believe it. It's because all of these restaurant franchises believe they have no future. So they're making their properties as generic as possible to make them easier to sell.

The Dictator vs. The Inconvenient Patriot: Trump vs. Thomas Massie
The Dictator vs. The Inconvenient Patriot: Trump vs. Thomas Massie
“Israel-First Trump vs. America-First Massie: The MAGA Soap Opera You Didn’t Know You Needed”
Donald Trump has finally found his ultimate nemesis: Representative Thomas Massie, the lone GOP congressman who dares to put Americans first — even if it means driving the “Israel-First” crowd and Trump himself to bitter rage.
Massie has been a thorn in Trump’s side since Day One. Back in 2020, when Trump issued emergency lockdown orders during the pandemic, Massie had the audacity to point out, quite accurately, that this was exactly what dictators do. Imagine that — a Republican calling out presidential overreach! Trump wanted to “throw Massie out of the Republican Party” back then, but the Kentucky Congressman survived.
Ever since, Massie has been the rebel who refuses to tow the Israel-first line so painstakingly maintained by the rest of the GOP (or as we now know them: the “Guardians of Pedophiles”). He alone voted no to billions in aid for Israel’s Iron Dome, boycotted Netanyahu’s speeches, and has openly criticized the cozy AIPAC-GOP love affair, infuriating Trump and his allies.
But Massie’s real sin in Trump’s eyes? Pushing through a vote to expose the “Trump files” — those deeply embarrassing Epstein connections the party would rather sweep under the rug. His actions forced the GOP (read: Guardians of Pedophiles) into an early recess to try to dodge transparency before the scandal came out in full force. How dare he disrupt the usual bipartisan cover-up routine?
Despite months of Trump’s blistering attacks—calling Massie a “loser,” a “grandstander,” and worse—MAGA has suddenly adopted a “hands-off Massie” stance. Why? Because Massie’s America-first rebellious streak is actually starting to resonate with a base exhausted by endless foreign wars, unchecked foreign spending, and politicians begging for approval from foreign lobbies.
Trump’s hatred boils down to this: Massie won’t take bribes, won’t vote as told, and worst of all, takes his oath to America and the Constitution seriously rather than bowing to the Israel lobby or covering up inconvenient truths.
So here we are: a party split between those loyal to shadowy foreign interests and one man daring to put country over lobbyists. Massie may be the “inconvenient patriot,” but in the circus of MAGA politics, he’s the one who refuses to play the clown.
MAGA supports Massie’s long-standing opposition to Trump policies, including his early pandemic lockdown criticism, his refusal to support Israel-first policies, his Epstein transparency push.
Massie, will allow incremental wins to go down in defeat because they aren't the perfect wins he wants and the wins he wants are not yet possible. He is a poster boy for letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. he is for himself. There are also very rational reasons to believe (as Trump does) that it is better for the US for Isreal to remain intact. This is not Israel first and that is such an irrational and gross overstatement that it completely discredits anybody that uses it.
You can't fault a guy for being too pure. Even if it's unrealistic, which I'm not convinced that it is, we still need these voices to remind us what we're supposed to be aspiring to.
"Of course we'd like that, but lets be realistic" has been the boomer neocon singsong for the past 40 years. If "realistic" means every year prices go up, wages go down, cities get more dangerous, and everything just generally gets a little bit shittier until eventually the average 30 year old has no house and no family, then "realistic" is bullshit.
It doesn't mean that. There were more wins in the BBB that we have seen in my lifetime. It was far from perfect, but hardly worthy of all the whining and campaigning over it that Massie did. That is just one example.
Ever consider the possibility that the reason why Trump delivers the goods is because people hold his feet to the fire and make him?
This is where classically the Left has been a LOT better at politics. They'd elect a guy into office and the day the guy gets in they're protesting against him because now he's a dirty politician. That guy knows he's gotta deliver some pork back to the boys or else he's gonna be out on his ear come next election.
Republicans (pre-2008) were total losers at this, they'd vote a guy and then go home and sit in their rocking chair and wait. Guy goes to Washington and who threatens him? Lobbyists, they tell him they're gonna replace him, so he does a deal with them. And all he has for his voters is a big fat Fell For It Again Award.
There is no doubt as to the innefectiveness of republicans, for many years. thus I find it difficult to believe that they are responsible for Trumps effectiveness. And nobody every even heard of Massie before Trump. He made his name by seeming to one up Trump. But it's all showmanship, he has accomplished nothing.
If you don't know who Massie is, you're not paying attention. Massie is from the libertarian camp which started as the Ron Paul Revolution in '08 and evolved into the Tea Party then MAGA.
Right now libertarians and Jews are the only two groups who have any modicum of influence over Trump's policy, and that's because these are the only two groups who know how to support him and pressure him at the same time. Everyone else is either TDS or vote-and-pray 1D checkers.
That's because Trump will go out of his way to coverup what's being done to keep him honest - because he wants you to vote and go back to sleep. That's not a criticism of HIM, everyone in that role wants that.
However, he does leak what is keeping him honest - when he says it's terrible, but can't precisely explain why.
Trump has had more bad to say about Massie than anyone on the Epstein list, which goes to show you that Massie is having the desired effect 😀
Die FDP darf beim Bremer #CSD nicht mitmachen und jammert rum, weil jemand auf ihre Inhalte eingeht. Das passiert wohl so selten, dass sie es nicht gewohnt sind und deswegen danach Bullshit labern. ich hab dazu was aufgeschrieben.
"Romania’s first post-communist president, Ion Iliescu, died on August 5, 2025, at the age of 95. He leaves behind numerous unanswered questions regarding the 1989 Revolution and the June 1990 mineriad, as well as a political legacy inextricably linked to the Social Democratic Party (PSD).
At the same time, Iliescu is credited with Romania’s membership in NATO and the European Union, which cemented freedom and democracy in the country."

Adherents of the mainstream religion, called 'Users', spoke to these objects, believing that they would in return hear voices from the Spirit World, or small bits of divine scripture called "Texts".
Absehbar wird die Situation in #Gaza und den anderen besetzten Gebieten noch schlechter.
Das liegt an den neuen Regeln der die im Staat #Israel im Rahmen des Kriegs gegen die Zivilgesellschaft & Hilfsorganisationen.
Die neue Regel sieht vor, dass sich die NGOs komplett transparent machen müssen, extrem viele Daten über ihre Mitglieder offen legen müssen um sich beim Staat Israel registrieren zu lassen.
Die neuen Regeln sind so konstruiert, dass sie ein komplettes Durchleuchten aller Hilfsorganisationen erlaubt, dem ganzen Sicherheitsapparat von Israel alle Daten gibt, die dann in deren Systeme wie etwa Palantir eingespeist werden, und für Geheimdienste nutzbar.
Wer auch immer dann tatsächlich unparteiisch hilft und die Realität vor Ort beschreibt, dürfte dann nicht mehr helfen oder Leben retten dürfen, wenn das System ab 9. September in Kraft tritt.
