As for the mines themselves, they are Korean War-era M15 antitank mines which the US donated a huge number of to the IDF after the 1973 war for the purpose of mining the Golan Heights etc. In the 1980s, the IDF began to repurpose and retrofit them as their standard charges for building demolition.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

Lads, I don’t think “We were fooled into doing genocide by mean fascists who outwitted us effortlessly” is a winner

JOE BIDEN HAD A PEACE DEAL IN PLACE, BUT THEN NETANYAHU AND TRUMP MET IN MAR-A-LAGO AND DECIDED THAT KEEPING THE WAR GOING WOULD BENEFIT THEM BOTH.
TEN MONTHS LATER, THEY'RE SIGNING THE EXACT DEAL BIDEN BROKERED.
DON'T BE FOOLED!

This is what my Democratic rep wants to be bipartisan with.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Democratic messaging should be that living in Republican-led areas is objectively shitty.

Every time I see a "Vietnam era vet" hat, I just think of that King of the Hill where a guy is talking about Bill's military career and says "he fought for your freedom in North Carolina"

There were large trading centers in the PNW that were already ghost towns when Lewis & Clark showed up because smallpox visited first.

Barack Obama had this and used it to defund ACORN

To pass your agenda a Dem will need 60 votes in the Senate & a majority in the house. In every battleground state voters need to show up to give a Dem President the power to deliver without negotiating. If we fail to do that, we cant complain when what's delivered is watered down
