NYT, unparalleled in sycophancy, scores points with prez with another stellar headline!
Critics call it fascist collaboration.
Everything is only gonna get faker and gayer now.
ZOG is gonna pull out all stops trying to retain and regain narrative control and disperse the energy of any genuine potential opposition movement.
And those they cannot control they'll kill.
By your logic, one single man was responsible for every action and outcome of the war in Europe from 1939 to 1945.
That is absurd, prima facie.
Hitler set about to unify and strengthen Germany. He defeated the English at Dunkirk, and allowed them to escape, according to the rules of Land Warfare at the time. The Jews had previously declared war upon him, and at that time they pulled their levers and whispered in ears, and got the US involved. Had the US never gotten involved (97% of the US population was against the war from the beginning), Europe would have "settled down", England had its wings clipped, and Germany would most likely have been successful.
So, to claim "it was all Adolph's fault" is a very bizarre conclusion.
Thanks for setting the record straight.
I am still learning and thus still unable to word it that elegant.
But that is exactly my thoughts.
As if any leader in human history would have been able to defeat, Rusia, USA, England, at the same time. In the end even Italy was turned against Germany.
To call someone who did not seek this battle a failure is a falsity. Because no one could have done that and Hitler did not cause this war.

U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone believes that a first-term Trump administration regulation exempting nuns from paying for healthcare plans that cover contraceptives is administratively improper. She also holds that uncontested, repeated shaming of white employees for their race is not "severe or pervasive" enough to create a hostile work environment.

Modern science rose uniquely from European Christian nations.
This stemmed from the belief that an intelligent God created the universe and the laws that govern it, and it can be fruitfully investigated.
Science clearly has a “problematic” past.
