      In 2003, it freaked me out when common Republicans toed the line regarding the torture matter, simultaneously saying torture isn’t wrong, and waterboarding isn’t torture. Some right-wing personalities volunteered to get waterboarded to show it wasn’t so bad. When SERE indulged them they cracked inside a few minutes.

      But yeah, half of the United States decided that torture was AOK. It was fucked up. It also shows some people only have integrity when it’s about their own fam. When it’s about outsiders, they’ll endorse genocide if their lives are inconvenient.

      MAGA is coming for liberals. Where a liberal is anyone who isn’t MAGA.

        Most people don’t have integrity, period. It is not a value people hold. Rather, they believe it is better to be manipulative because they see that as powerful.

      Back in the days it would’ve been anti nazi to support Jewish genocide. The irony.

      Chaim Azriel Weizmann (/ˈkaɪm ˈwaɪtsmən/ KYME WYTES-mən;[a] 27 November 1874 – 9 November 1952) was an Israeli statesman, biochemist, and Zionist leader who served as president of the Zionist Organization and later as the first president of Israel. He was elected on 16 February 1949, and served until his death in 1952. Weizmann was instrumental in obtaining the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and convincing the United States government to recognize the newly formed State of Israel in 1948.

      Britain needeed acetone for bombs and Isreal was born. Always follow the money.
