This made my whole day.

Track two: “Terrible Lie”, doesn’t even need any changes. haha

Israel has never removed itself from Palestine. Israel has been occupying legally recognized Palestinian territory for decades, and have used every excuse to continue to take more.

China, Russia, and USA were who I was thinking of.

The UN security council is a joke with 3 dictatorships as permanent members.

I guarantee that 32% couldn’t point Israel or Gaza out on a map.

The context given was Carney said we account for 1% of the flow south. Which demonstrates that Trumps statement is inaccurate.

If one reads the article one can clearly see that Trump said Canada accounts for a huge flow of drugs over the border and isn’t doing enough to curb it. Carney stated the fact that it is 1% of total movement into the US, and the article also states that Canada has increased enforcement clearly demonstrating that what Trump said is not accurate.

The point you are missing is it is a Journalists job to report what happened and what was said. Whether what Trump said was true or not is beside the point. They are reporting what he said, not that it is a fact, and also reporting what Carney has said while not declaring it a fact.

Donald Trump escalated a trade war by boosting the tariff rate from 25% to 35%, saying that Canada had “failed to cooperate” in curbing the flow of fentanyl and other drugs across the US border. The Canadian government says it is cracking down on drug gangs.

When you add the part of the sentence you removed back into it, it doesn’t say that Canada has a massive flow of drugs heading across the border. Interesting how context matters and cherry picking helps no one eh?

I wasn’t able to find any 3rd party sources verifying this.

This is fucking terrifying.

We need to deal with these people yesterday.

I am guessing they are referring to the education programs under UNRWA that allegedly were unaltered and issued by the Palestinian Authority which promoted and instilled hate of Israelis.

If anyone is interested in the details surrounding that entire situation.

Now do everyone in, and in support of, the Likud party.

Tell that to Israel, who is opening up a new hole with all their missile launches

You must have me confused with someone who has contact with, and political sway over, Israel.

Can you explain to me how you came to the conclusion that I have the ability to tell Israel anything?

History lesson: The same thing was said about the ozone layer. The global community dealt with that.

I’ve seen way too many couples (married or otherwise) that influence each other to vote Trump and other populists to believe that you can single out loneliness as a main cause of the rise of the far right

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Lonely single males are on the rise, sure, and it’s a problem that needs dealing…

Loneliness is on the rise regardless of sex. This isn’t about just males.

but i’d wager most of those 3 million new single people are mostly old folk, since Germany’s populatin has been aging rapidly in the past decades.

The population most likely to be alone, isolated, and depressed are the “old folk” you speak of. This isn’t just about sad young people.

20.6% of the population is living in isolated conditions. 20.8% of the popular vote went to the far-right AFD party.

This is why we need resources put into the “loneliness epidemic”. Angry and sad people are really easy to make into extremists, and this is evident Globally.

I am now curious if single households and vote percentages stay similar in other countries as well. If anyone has data on this I would like to see it.

Edit:

Found some data if anyone else is interested. I likely won’t be digging too much further but if anyone can find a Low single household percentage to a high far right percentage of vote that would be most helpful. What I found is High single households and high far right votes so far.

Do you have a license for this comment?

Knowing what I know of French history, I would never be a politician in France.

People posting pay walled links will never not be annoying.

There are gay members of the catholic church who would disagree with you. This is important to them.
