Josh Lyman was very shook by it when he took a bullet for the President
How do you know I havenât seen military action? Itâs not like my old man got a doctor buddy to write me a note saying I had bone spurs.
Itâs fairly obvious to us who have servedâŚ
I hope you donât consider time in the Irish army as âexperiencing combat or military actionâ.
He wasnt in the army. He was in the fca
I canât imagine the horrors you experienced at Kilworth Camp. Thank you for your service

Thank you very much old pal.
I know i for one sleep much easier at night thanks to the efforts of our service men and women. I hope that was also the prevailing feeling nationwide when i served my two tours

The free clothes association. The Irish army are a degree greater than them, and the self importance only matched by members of the civil defence, whoâll no doubt save our souls through the nuclear fallout.
Thereâs was only ever one army worth itâs salt in this country, and most of them buried in Milltown and Derry City cemetery.

Holocaust revisionism is running through the mainstream of the MAGA movement
There is no denying that white supremacy is an engine of the right.

There are some Republican voters who are sympathetic to their partyâs ultranationalist turn and donât believe the partyâs attitudes toward issues such as immigration and crime are the products of racial animus. But over and over again, right-wing leaders and thinkers reveal that white supremacism is an engine of this movement.
The latest example comes via an episode of âThe Tucker Carlson Showâ released this week, in which the former Fox News host interviews podcast host and newsletter writer Darryl Cooper. Carlson, arguably the most influential right-wing nationalist commentator in America, said Cooper âmay be the best and most honest popular historian in the United States.â But Cooper has made clear that his intellectual project regarding World War II includes Holocaust revisionism.
White supremacist intellectual currents are running through the mainstream of right-wing nationalism.
In the Carlson interview, Cooper deems British Prime Minister Winston Churchill the âchief villainâ of World War II and calls him âprimarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.â Cooper also framed the slaughter of millions of people, most of them Jewish, as a logistical failure. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, he said, entered Germany into âa war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war, of local political prisoners.â
âThey went in with no plan for that and they just threw these people into camps,â he added. âAnd millions of people ended up dead there.â
Cooperâs account is as offensive as it is inaccurate. They didnât accidentally end up dead. Hitler deliberately sought out and executed the systematic murder of six million Jews with an explicit goal of elimination. And while itâs clear that Churchill committed plenty of indefensible war crimes, describing him as the chief villain of World War II says all that needs to be said about Cooperâs political sympathies. It is obscene that one needs to point out Hitlerâs genocidal villainy. But itâs important to take note of it to understand how Carlson is helping mainstream Nazi apologists.
Michael Geyer, a professor emeritus of German and European history at the University of Chicago, told HuffPost that Carlsonâs interview takes a different tack toward questioning the Holocaust than overt denial. âYou get from one distortion to the next, his Holocaust story being interesting because it is no longer outright denial (i.e., it never happened) but considered collateral damage,â he said.
This is far from the first time that Cooper has suggested sympathy for Nazism. In the past, he has, among other things, explicitly described Hitlerâs value system as desirable compared to other political systems, and he has also blamed the British for not negotiating with Hitler over a âsolution to the Jewish problem.â
X CEO Elon Musk boosted the Carlson episode, writing, âVery interesting. Worth watching.â After receiving criticism, Musk deleted the post and subsequently posted a Community Notes link with corrections to Cooperâs argument. Still, heâd already boosted the post to his tens of millions of followers with an uncritical attitude toward its claims. Thatâs alarming.
More disturbing, still, is the discovery that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumpâs running mate, Sen. JD Vance, followed Cooper on X, at least as recently as Wednesday, as reported by The New Republic and other outlets. Vance is reportedly planning to join Carlson at a live event later in September. Neither following Cooper on X nor appearing at an event with Carlson means Vance endorses any of Cooperâs views. But they do serve as clear evidence that white supremacist intellectual currents are running through the mainstream of right-wing nationalism, and that they are a part of the conversation that runs all the way to the top of the Republican Party.
It is impossible to disentangle MAGA from a project of racial domination. The casual mainstreaming of Cooperâs views, alongside Trumpâs Hitlerian rhetoric describing immigrants as âpoisoning the blood of our country,â are the neon-lined sign posts that illustrate that right-wing nationalism is animated by a virulent ethnic chauvinism. There is no way someone can remain a part of this movement and seriously claim to reject racism.

âShe destroyed the city of San Francisco, itâs â and I own a big building there â itâs no â I shouldnât talk about this but thatâs OK I donât give a damn because this is what Iâm doing. I should say itâs the finest city in the world â sell and get the hell out of there, right? But I canât do that. I donât care, you know? I lost billions of dollars, billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, âWhat do you think you lost?â I said, âProbably two, three billion. Thatâs OK, I donât care.â They say, âYou think youâd do it again?â And thatâs the least of it. Nobody. They always say, I donât know if you know. Lincoln was horribly treated. Uh, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all, that he was treated worse than any other president. I said, âDo that study again, because I think thereâs nobody close to Trump.â I even got shot! And who the hell knows where that came from, right?â
If he was a relative youâd definitely be taking the keys of the car away and looking into residential care.
Same as thereâs no way anyone can support Trump to any degree and claim to reject racism.
Does ron think ears grow back?
Ive seen multiple stories about Haitian immigrants in ohio, hard to believe based on the rumours of the poles doing the same with swans in Limerick years back
Oh I bet youâve seen multiple âstoriesâ alright.

I know the media and twitter accounts you follow excite your little brain cells, but it would do no harm to diversify the media you view to try and get an idea of the truth. At least people could take you a little bit more serious when you relay what youâve read online.
