    It was either in here or reddit that I saw this but supposedy Truman wasn’t even that involved with the decision to drop the bombs so this is even funnier. Thanks Jennifer Rubin I hope you burn in hell.

    The decision was dropped in his lap. He basically had no clue about the bomb and he had a bunch of advisors say “yes or no, we need to know right now ”

    After giving him a very one sided analysis of the ramifications. One of the more difficult single decisions for an American POTUS imo.

    It's been about 10 years since I read about it but essentially the commanders in the Pacific made the decision. They also gave an imperial dictatorship whose people thought the emperor was a literal god like 3 days to surrender before they dropped the first one

    Idk if this is related to DOJ not looking into all of the financial bullshit, but I’m willing to stoke this very plausible conspiracy because it doesn’t involve tomato sauce.

    Nagasaki wasn’t the target when the flight commenced for the bombing mission. It was a second or third choice made by the crew—other more ideal targets due to their military importance and lower civilian populations were unable to be seen due to weather. Had the crew not dropped the bomb on Nagasaki they would’ve ditch it in the pacific.

    The military also didn’t provide sufficient time for the Japanese government to surgery the devastation of Hiroshima before deciding to drop a second bomb.

    Facebook removes Louisiana Republican's scary, racist threat against Black demonstrators
    Republican Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana has a long and colorful track record of being a right-wing prick who has a strange preoccupation with World War II, though which side he’s most obsessed with remains debatable. But one thing is clear: He likes to dress with flair and really sell his Military Police Corps career, complete with tough talk about hitting heavy bags and “riding Harleys to honor our American flag.” It’s almost like he’s overcompensating for something. (Just saying.) Anyhoo, Higgins is also a big Second Amendment rights and states’ rights guy. Of course, that doesn’t apply to those who aren’t white right-wing, Second Amendment types.

    According to The Advocate and Mother Jones, on Tuesday Rep. Higgins posted a picture of armed Black demonstrators on Facebook, captioning it: “I’d drop any 10 of you where you stand.” Higgins seems to be working on the assumption that these demonstrators are out-of-towners with secret agendas—the oldest and most classic fascistic ruse in abusive states dealing with civil unrest. Higgins made sure everyone knew that he wasn’t being racist while he was clearly being racist, since trying to find similar images of white guys in tactical gear and assault weapons “demonstrating” would also include too many MAGA hats. "Nothing personal. We just eliminate the threat. We don't care what color you are. We don't care if you're left or right. if you show up like this, if We recognize threat...you won't walk away," he spewed.

    The post disappeared very quickly from his Facebook campaign account. The Advocate reports that Facebook said it removed Higgins’ post as it breaks their “Violence and Incitement” policies. To be clear: Higgins is a big Second Amendment guy. The fact that he chose to use an image of Black American demonstrators with their Second Amendment gear on to stipulate some kind of rebellion or invasion is genuinely racist. Louisiana is made up of almost 40% Black citizens, making it one of the Blackest states in the Union. Louisiana has super lax gun laws, allowing people older than 17 years old to freely open-carry firearms without a permit.

    The idea that Rep. Higgins would single out a group of Black demonstrators in Louisiana who are open carrying, as an example of outsiders and interlopers to be potentially targeted for vigilante justice, is not simply abhorrent—it’s straight up racist and murderous.

    So then Higgins posted an image of a bald eagle, and this threat against … the U.S. government, maybe?

    “No, I did not remove my post.
    America is being manipulated into a new era of government control. Your liberty is threatened from within.
    Welcome to the front lines, Ladies and Gentlemen.
    I suggest you get your mind right.
    I’ll advise when it’s time gear up, mount up, and roll out.

    You don’t have to be in the army to know what Higgins is attempting to do here. He and his people didn’t respond to reporters’ questions because Higgins, deep down inside, is a hypocrite and a coward. It’s the reason behind all of his performative machismo bullshi

    You mean someone who willingly has on Alex Jones, Jimmy Dore, plus all the idw people might not seek out legit info? I get why Bernie went on his show but Rogan is a fucking idiot. My understanding is that he claims to have a lot of left views but from my impression 99% of his listeners think AOC is the worst person in the world.

    Ron Cobb, who died yesterday, was a lot of things (set designer for Star Wars, Alien and Conan the Barbarian, drew the album design for the Airplane's After Bathing at Baxter's, etc.)... but man, his cartoons were fucking brilliant... and also depressing -- the one below was drawn in 1968.
