no one has figured out the probable number of people who are going to die as a result of the USAID thing.

Or will have died as a result of USAID.

international aid is basically a chain which links money in rich countries to people in developing countries

You're amazing

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Trump is dismantling the Aid stuff cos he thinks it works against US interests, you are celebrating its loss cos you think that it spread US softish power colonialism. I think there is an issue there cos you can't both be right. And you're probably both wrong as usual.

You're using the same signifier for two different signifieds.

But were they paying to control the news or buy access to it. It seems to be the latter but spun as the former.

The money paid is far too much for mere access, so clearly the subtext of their paying hugely over the odds is "make us nice news or we'll stop paying".

Is this bloke a Dissensus alumnus?
Anyway, he's on the money.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

not like a fight to the death. just a bit of a scuffle

I warn you, I'm 2 and 1 lifetime record.

Sure I can be beaten but he was the strongest guy in our year.

Sure he dragged me upside down along the ground for 20 metres but he was the strongest guy in our year.

That arc was very short. I wouldn't give him back his ball.

The leftist trick with people who need help is to ensure that they continue to need help and that you appear to be the only way that they can get it.

Literally a protection racket.
Anyway, it's all over now.

You know who all this reminds me of? That's right, Jean Baudrillard.

Open and shut case

 

[shakahislop]

biscuits what do you think about HIV. do you think people should die from it or do you think they should be able to take ARVs

The leftist trick with people who need help is to ensure that they continue to need help and that you appear to be the only way that they can get it.

While that can happen I think I'd be uneasy saying that such a relationship is always a con... you've got to stop relying on your insulin, just snap our of it for fuck's sake.

It's like the disability benefits in the UK- we caught one person cheating so we'd better cancel everything, it will save us almost as much as if we taxed Amazon for one week.

President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday aimed at eradicating “anti-Christian bias” in the federal government by having agencies review policies and practices that he says have tried to squelch religious activities and activism.

Mr. Trump, who announced the order at the National Prayer Breakfast, appointed his new attorney general, Pam Bondi, to lead a task force at the Justice Department to spearhead the effort. Mr. Trump said the task force would “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society” and “move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.”

“You’ve never had that before, but this is a very powerful document I’m signing,” he said. “You got it now — first time you’ve had it. If we don’t have religious liberty, then we don’t have a free country. We probably don’t even have a country.”
