1. Isn't that stealing?

How does the Christian fascist right feel about that?

[eppur_se_muova]

3. It's like in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina -- white residents went out "scavenging" for supplies, while ...

black folks went out "looting".

IIRC, the NYT published side-by-side pix w/captions to that effect.

If you "find" wealth that belonged to brown people you just killed, I guess that falls under scavenging. Like vultures and jackals.


ETA: Isn't "access" a wonderfully detached term ? No ethical judgements, and in the passive voice.

2. Gee... Where have we heard that before?

4. OMG

Even if true, it's NOT OUR SHIT.

5. Oh shit

I went to this guy's Youtube channel. What a bunch of assholes there. I didn't post. It's futile

6. Judeo/Christian Republicans are intent on Christianizing the Middle East. And looting the treasures for Earthly power.

Ka-ching for Chri$t.

[B.See]

9. Too bad it isn't water...

Tehran, from what I understand, is out of water. They were talking about moving the capital. I think, in the scheme of thing, we need a lot more water than we do oil....

My late mother-in-law would say...more men have been killed over water than women and whiskey combined.

10. Duh!

That is all

[Kid Berwyn]

11. NAZI Gangsters

And they got a lotta Goebbels in blue suits.

12. That dog won't hunt.

Only the completely those enwrapped in MAGA bullshit will believe this. Once the war inflation hits, it will be misery for all.
