Everyone did intentional overreporting of the numbers in the past, but this only became a real problem with the Biden admin, because they are going too crazy with it. If they overshot by like 250k, this wouldn’t get any real headlines, it would just be a quiet correction.
They’ve been doing this for a while now, but they always overreport by too much and the corrections after the fact get more notice than usual.
Or when they reported that healthcare inflation is like negative 20% last year to keep the already gamed inflation numbers look lower than they were.
I would say that it would be smart for Iran to just wait and constantly promise a counter-attack, but that would just invite more Israeli attacks on Iran ANYWAY.
Palestinians were a huge labor source for Israel, they were paid basically starvation wages. Israel asked Thailand and Bangladesh to send lots of new “workers” to Israel to fill in for them, but they didn’t send nearly enough “workers”.
So basically yes, they are doing something like that to themselves. And I don’t think it will matter, the US will just send them money when things get worse.
It looks like Netanyahu got the go ahead from Biden, Kamala and Trump when he was in the US. Instant escalation, Biden sent more weapons and an aircraft carrier group to Israel yesterday.
They are also again releasing stories about how mad Biden is. He is very mad.
I’m sure Joe Biden also voted to ban gay marriage under the Clinton admin. And all the Dems came out in favor of gay marriage because they got info that the Supreme Court will make it legal.
Article 5 doesn’t exist. NATO does whatever the US wants at any moment, it doesn’t matter what any article or contract says.
Well Biden was just as complicit and they love him. Most libs supported the Iraq war anyway. Among the few libs who didn’t, they mostly opposed the Iraq war because GW Bush was in charge of it. When the Dems took over the House in 2006 and were expected to win in 2008 as well, the remaining liberals mostly dropped the pretense of not supporting the war and were just mad that Bush “screwed it up”. And Biden is also one of the main guys who screwed it up (when he was VP), he literally helped create ISIS by getting Chalabi appointed as president of Iraq even after he lost the election - but the US was the occupying power so Biden was able to do whatever he wanted.
He started scolding the left during the Dem primaries in 2020, leaning into the “BernieBro” meme. After this audition, he got hired by MSNBC. Now they are firing him (they killed his show, he is leaving because he would just sit there and do nothing) because he is being too honest about Gaza. It would be kind of funny if he wasn’t one of the very few people on TV who was at least showing some of the truth on Gaza. So all in all, a sad day.
On one hand it is quite funny how Hunter just couldn’t handle the family obligation to be a cruel killing machine (literally or metaphorically) in order to advance his and his family’s political career, so he became a drugs & party dude.
On the other hand, it is terrible how Hunter just gets to do whatever and the worst consequence for him is that he goes to a cool island resort where they help him with his drug habit, but normal people will absolutely be brutalized by the state for doing 5% of what Hunter is doing and the person who passed all the laws that brutalize people for it is Joe fucking Biden.
Well they just considered it the natural state of things, whereas current Nazis need to assert themselves loudly because they think they don’t have any power. Of course, they are wrong, they have lots of power in the Western world, but it is mostly stealthy and surrounded by liberal civility.
These are photos of SS Galicia Division veteran who was given standing ovation by Canadian parliament, prime-minister of Canada and president of Ukraine. He published these photos of himself in this division during training in Germany.
He wrote that he volunteered to join SS Galicia Division in 1943 in Ternopil region in Western Ukraine

IMO they would rise hand in hand anyway, because there is money to be made. Biden’s “climate plan” is just about throwing more money at private companies to increase their profits. Even stuff that is directed at the consumer side of things, like EV car subsidies just allows car companies to keep prices higher than they would otherwise be. It is all funneled into private pockets, without even doing the thing that is usually the selling point of these kind of bills under capitalism - lower prices for consumers.
The “Biden climate plan” also enshrined fossil fuels as policy, it includes a provision that for every X of new clean energy, the same amount of fossil fuel permits have to be given out by the US government.
