The question is why does it matter that there are US Troops in Taiwan. Does Russian troops being on the Chinese border matter too? Taiwan asked for and allows the US to be there because they feel its critical to their stability as a separate entity from China, which is what it is. Not an arm of the PRC or China, and hasn't been for 70 years.

lol John Cornyn made a tweet in early August listing US troop levels in various countries as a comparison to Afghanistan and all the FACT-CHECKERS came out to make fun of him for including Taiwan in the list

and now we find out that there actually are US troops in Taiwan

and it's supposed to be no biggie because they have every right to be there anyway???

so the WaPo is saying that Obama ordered Julian Assange executed because he published embarassing secrets about the Iraq War but also Putin is a dangerous madman because he tried to execute journalists.

Obama has interefered with elections in other countries, exactly like Putin

There's nothing wrong with US troops being in Taiwan any more than there's anything wrong with them being in any other country where they've been invited in, and the only inconsistency (that technically Taiwan is recognised as a part of China not under the control of the government of the PRC) is one that the PRC insists everyone else cling to.

In other words, almost three fourths of worldwide fossil fuel emissions were indeed linked to just 100 corporations, based on the study. Those companies included Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco), Gazprom OAO, and National Iranian Oil Company. Meanwhile, together, those top-emitting fossil fuel companies produced roughly half of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

ah well that's alright then

all four of these are true what the gently caress



I'm pretty sure both the first and third options are true



* the first one is false only because it's not hidden from the public

* the second one is false because it didn't stop in the 1970s

* AIDS being spread around on purpose is actually true

https://twitter.com/NestPasUnPsyop/status/1442726657001865222

* no comment on #4



The problem with the second option is that it only examines the question from the standpoint of deniers saying that there were fewer, or even no, Jewish people killed in the Holocaust, as opposed to the other deliberate misdirection of only ever mentioning Jewish people as being the victims of the Holocaust in order to bury the record of communists, socialists, the Roma, the LGBT, and so on.

There was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy, but they're not the ones who killed him. They also don't know who did kill him and all the weird obfuscation is in aid of encouraging the belief that they did it.

As for Epstein, lol if you think he's really dead.

And it's going to work. "Please become a republican, we're full of nazis, and that's bad." is a better message than the democrats are giving people.

yeah but registering as a republican just lets you vote in the republican primary, its meaningless otherwise

Our Ruling: distilling the Sanders Movement down to the core principle of "gently caress black people" is misleadingly reductionist. In fact, Sanders' stated platform of "gently caress everyone but white males" implies the subjugation of many other groups, including women and other non-black minorities. We award this claim 3.5 Pinocchios.

that's the problem with this "fact-check" - even if you could prove that Oswald was acting on behalf of some conspiracy, he was still only ever just the one guy that pulled the trigger, therefore "lone gunman" is still technically correct

They admit that he was killed by friendly fire and that they burned his personal belongings and body armor, but I don't know if they said it's because they hated him.
