When we protested the Vietnam War we weren't considered pro-Vietnamese. So why are people against the war in Gaza labeled as pro-Palestinian? Is it just another way to gin up hatred for those who might think differently?

I have a question:
1) Am I the only one who remembers the Russian oligarchs sending their mistresses to Florida to have their children in #45*'s administration?

Two Sided Coin
2.1.25
One serves his oath, fierce and true
Protects the law, defends his crew
With courage swims against the tide
When ALL cowards fail and hide
The other wants a badge to bend the rules
Spread fear & lies to serve the FOOL
A pawn who twists the game
Knows no pride has no shame

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.
I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

JD Vance isn’t just vice president—he’s already laying the groundwork for Trump’s “third term.” The MAGA machine is conditioning its base for 2028, and I have been warning about this for a long time. Do not neglect this movement.

The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was banging his wife.

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."

"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"
