Yup, Germany needs better highspeed railways. It only takes 1h45 from Paris to Strasbourg which is roughly halfway between Paris and Berlin. So the whole trip could potentially be under 4h downtown to downtown.

You can go from Paris to Stuttgart in less 3h 30min by train. No customs, no TSA, downtown to downtown.

Such an asshole move. What is ICE afraid of? That he might flee the country?

Derick Hanna, Vice President of Inter-Con (USIP's security contractor) , told O’Brien that “DOGE threatened to cancel every federal contract Inter-Con held if they did not come to the USIP building and let Kenneth Jackson [the purported new head of the Institute] inside.”

How big a threat was that? According to USASpending, Inter-Con has $209 million in government contractors currently.

Everytime Trump is in power, a new plague comes up. You'd think fundamentalist Christians would figure this out ...

"Republicans repeat propaganda and democrats don't" isn't even the conclusion of this paper, which you'd know if you had actually looked at it. In fact, we already knew that republicans spread more disinfo than democrats, it's been demonstrated in multiple studies that are cited in this paper.

This particular study's interest is about what triggers it : "Our research enhances our understanding of when and why conservatives tend to spread more misinformation than liberals. We find that an ideological asymmetry emerges when politically polarized situations trigger conservatives’ desire for ingroup dominance. Acting on that salient desire, conservatives spread ingroup-skewed political misinformation, which is of uncertain accuracy, but not definitively false. In less polarized situations, conservatives’ desire to achieve ingroup dominance is tempered, along with their misinformation conveyance."

Oh yeah ? Well Trump had an uncle who was a professor at MIT, so I guess they're even. /s

Your first link is from Hard Drive, which is quite obviously a parodic website, kinda like the Onion but for tech. That being said, Wikia/Fandom is a parasitic growth on the internet that leeches on the free work of countless enthusiasts, and alternative fan-run wikis should be used instead.

As long as it's the sperm of your enemies that's fine by be. Might take a bit longer to harvest though.
