    Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans on April 27, 1945, while attempting to flee to Switzerland disguised as a German soldier. The following day, April 28, he and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were executed by firing squad near the village of Giulino di Mezzegra in northern Italy.

    Their bodies were then transported to Milan, hung upside down in a public square (Piazzale Loreto), and displayed before a crowd. This was done both as punishment and as a warning, since the same square had earlier been the site where Fascists executed resistance fighters.

    Just saying.

    After this wonderful exchange, I am pretty sure the majority of americans must be locked in to doing nothing until they declare mandatory federal gun buybacks, ban “smartphones” and start executing people for petty crimes.

    An I get it, work, life, groceries, taking care of yourself & family, etc. I discussed something similar in semi-recent posts. I do not have the answer here.

    Even if all that I just mentioned happened, I feel like it would not even stir anywhere near 50% of the adult population, which is just my opinion of course. Not exactly scientifically backed, much like future USA medical research. Zing.

    For a politician to openly say he doesn’t give a shit is a very dangerous sign.

    An elected official speaking like this to the public means they’ve completely lost their fear of repercussions. They’ve lost their fear of public backlash, of public perception. They’ve lost their fear of being voted out.

    It means that in his mind there’s nothing to fear. He thinks he’s untouchable. He’s above you and everything you think and do. He’s your ruler and you’re his subject.

    It means he’s no longer afraid of you having a democracy.

    Americans talk like they didn’t create the opioid crisis in the first place, profit from it, disavow it and in the process generate a mountain of homelessness. The idea that foreign gangs are arriving on their shores and corrupting the good and honest white folk of America is truly hilarious. Americans love drugs and their society is the perfect shithole to sell painkillers.

      He is the average US Catholic in my opinion, and I went to 12 years of Catholic school so I’ve been around the block. The only part of the Gospel that they follow is being anti-choice. Oh wait that’s not in their bible? (Sorry I was disillusioned by this religion at a very early age)

      It’s wild how judgy a lot of Catholics seem to be when the bible is pretty specific about God being the one who judges. His only mouthpiece on earth is the Pope so they should really be listening to that guy and focusing a lot more on not being a cunt as per the rest of the new testament.

        that whole book was written by crazy old medieval con men and then editted repeatedly to suit various political needs over time. It’s closer to a medieval reddit than a word from any deity.

          Regardless, it’s pretty specific on a lot of things like “Thou Shalt Not Kill”. There’s no caveats to that, like it’s okay if you tell someone else or an autonomous drone to kill it’s not your problem when they do it, or you can totally murder people if they might be doing something you think is bad. The book is nonsense written to stop ancient middle eastern goat farmers from dying before they turned 20 but JD is claiming to be a Catholic so regardless of the fairytale status of the bible, he should be following it.

        That part is only supposed to be brought up if somebody else is judging them. It’s not cognitive dissonance if they can keep from thinking about it well enough.

      Catholic? There was some pedophilia involved in that Venezuela boat strike? Actually now that we are thinking about it, instead of missiles we could just drop pedophile catholic priests instead. Strap em to the wings like missiles. Several problems solved at once.
