romad1 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 So, waking up to Holocaust Remembrance Day on the tv. Was just struck by the interesting and terrifying detail from a podcast I had just heard that the famous arbeit mach frei portal was put there along with the extension of the rail line into Auschwitz from the rail station some distance away in May 1944. The Final Solution had been in full swing since 1942. The Nazi regime had just invaded their ostensible ally Hungary in March 1944 -- who had until then had resisted handing over to them their Jewish citizens -- with a goal being the elimination of Hungary's Jews. So, the rail line is extended because otherwise the Nazis have to carefully march the camp's new arrivals several hundred meters from the rail station with all their worldly possessions. The portal with the "work makes you free" is constructed to give the ones who are clinging to the idea that this is a labor camp one more euphemism to cling to. all with the goal of murdering a population of people who could have been warned. Some estimates are that 800,000 Jews at the start of WWII with some 600,000 who died. Some 400,000 were murdered in the period May to July 1944. Quote By 9 July 1944, 434,351 Jews in 147 trains had been deported, according to László Ferenczy of the Hungarian Royal Gendarmerie. According to Edmund Veesenmayer, the Reich plenipotentiary in Hungary, the figure was 437,402.[b][c] About 80 percent of deportees were gassed on arrival.[6] Because the crematoria were unable to cope with the number of corpses, pits were dug where bodies were burned. Photographs taken at Auschwitz (the Auschwitz Album) were found after the war showing the arrival of the Hungarian Jews at the camp.[20] The 20 percent who were not murdered were used as slave labor and used in medical experiments. Yes it matters that (y)our racist uncles or coworkers are allowed to be idiotic racists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some great zingers mocking air friers. I got one as a gift a few years ago, really the only thing it was good for was broccoli. It died a couple months ago, and I really don't want to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have too much of an issue with our air fryer, but if someone has a >$100 dollar cut of meat and freezes and air frys it, that sounds like a war crime lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 My wife uses ours a lot. My only problem is the space isn't big enough and I hate cleaning it. The ridges in the plate tears up our scrubber thing. I'm a dinosaur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I wish I could share with this forum the pure joy the Hausfrau had with the Comptroller General's responses to MTG's bizonkers questioning yesterday. She's up there talking nonsense and he's a pure technocrat who bleeds and lives by clean government. That was an immovable object being hit by an object directed by pure misinformation. You'll see the stories if you watch for them today about: Drag Queen story hour being misheard by him as Dry Clean CRT being taught at a school in Chicago which was given $5.1B for the purpose My wife works with the CG so she knows he actually had no idea what MTG was talking about and was up there to talk with professionals about professional matters. Cross-fit gym ownership does not prepare one for public policy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Just got an email from Nancy Pelosi saying that if Diane Feinstein is retired to the pet farm upstate that her pick for the US Senate seat is Adam Schiff. That will enrage the slackjawed haters who think he shouldn't be on a committee because he was mean to the former guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerbomb13 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I thought this was satire. I’m just going to believe he took credit for everything that’s ever existed at this point. Why on earth would this be something to take credit for? Edited February 3, 2023 by Tigerbomb13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I don't know how denying a liquor license for having a Drag Show is the least bit Constitutional. That hatey shit didn't play in the 2022 elections and it won't play in 2024. STOP FUCKING HATING ON PEOPLE YOU DON'T LIKE AND HAVE A FUCKING PLAN FOR SOMETHING.........ANYTHING THAT MAKES SENSE. OWN THE LIBS is not a platform. Not a successful one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The debris radius of the balloon was around 7 miles from what I have read... In terms of population density, it makes sense that they waited considering. No matter what the armchair general types say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewsieg Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I saw a report stating we were able jam any additional intelligence. I’m not going to completely buy that, but I’m not going to write that off either. I’d like to think we could/should have taken care of it before it got over land if that’s the real reason why it wasn’t shut down earlier.

Tigeraholic1 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I wonder if Biden was given the option of using a few rounds off of the 20mm gattling gun or the sidewinder? Seems the sidwinder was for show considering it literally was a ballon. I like it either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
