I'm sure the Japanese occupation was just as important if not more. But that and the other points you mention all share one thing in common: they are not the responsibility of the United States. Which was the point I was originally making, that the United States and her media and citizens routinely ignore atrocities that the US commits and their disastrous effects on other countries.

Um, does that surprise anyone?

he's building up a bunch of non-troll posts so he can whack us with "the senate determined that there was never any collusion"

I was SURE that AP tweet was a misprint or a misquote, butnah, taken straight from Bibi's official twitter account

Nobosuke Kishi was a minister in the wartime Japanese government, the leader of the Japanese government in Manchuria, and charged as a Class A war criminal before being rehabilitated and becoming one of the most important postwar prime ministers (including in the formation of the LDP, which has held almost continuous power in Japan since the 60s).

Also, while Hirohito (and his successors) lost political power after the war, they still retain a great deal of social influence.

Seriously, if those leftie snowflake Indians don't like it here they should go back to India instead of trying to tell us not to put them on our mustards and baseball uniforms.

A little internet research suggests that the Indians are worth about a billion dollars. Think I could raise that much on kickstarter in an effort to buy them and rename the team to the Cleveland They/Them/Theirs?

This is a great forum for watching 60-year-old video clips which will answer all your questions of you watch it in full.

Never thought I'd feel sorry for Donald Trump.

Depends how far you want to go back. I'd say that the Mongol Empire has the all-time record for war crimes.

Cringe inducing because of the daughter. A big f*ck you to the father though.

Guy I know says he's okay with spending 100b or even 500b on a border wall, whatever it takes to fix our current situation, he's also is super offended I called him racist.

also thinks blacks are lazy bc welfare. But also not a racist bone in his body.

Looks like Avenatti’s 15min are up.

Avenatti not going to go out like that.

Wow, bankruptcy, domestic assault and possible financial improprieties. He's running.

*sigh* well, I guess I have to root for ‘Natti for a little while longer. Kinda suspicious how he got his hands on this tape and why it’s been collecting dust for 20 years.

Easy explanation. He was looking for a certain pee tape and ended up with the wrong one.

A plausible timeline is:

1. R. Kelly rapes some poor kid who has video evidence of it.
2. Victim doesn't come forward for fear of not being believed.
3. Big expose of R. Kelly's crimes airs.
4. Victim decides to come forward and gets a lawyer to think about the civil suit.
5. Hires Avenatti because he was on TV a lot.

The other plausible part of this is the was a previous tape that got R Kelly charged but ultimately let off in court and the victim didn't want to go through that.

Haha nicely done

I logged on to AT&T this morning to pay my directv/internet bill and noticed that the TV portion of my bill had increased $7.64 over what it has been. I called them up to find out why and the guy looked into it. He said that it was a $5 increase in the TV service plus associated taxes and fees along with a small increase in the regional sports package (whatever the **** that is). So I asked if I got any additional channels for the increase or if it was just a straight cash grab. He put me on hold again. When he finally came back, he had a "promotional" offer for me where I get $30 off my bill for 12 months, plus 4 months of free Showtime.

I of course took it. Usually I have to threaten to cancel before they come up with offers, like last summer when my 24 month contract was up and they juiced my bill +$60 per month, they wound up giving me $55 off for 12 months that time. But I had threatened to cancel then, and did not this time. Maybe they're getting hypersensitive to cord cutters now and getting more aggressive with giving stuff away? idk

They don't care. It's just pacifying the small % of people who call up to complain about the naked cash grab.
