Who Invented Fanta? The Nazi Germany Origin Story
Fanta was invented in Nazi Germany in 1940 when Coca-Cola ingredients were cut off by trade embargoes. How wartime scarcity created a global soda brand.

Thank you Steven, I am appreciate that. I’d recommend you re-examine DD’s claims.

What Chris said and what David claimed are two different things. I’m not here to defend a well-off classmate of ours with an ample platform to defend himself. I’m calling out David’s BS and your willingness to believe it.

Steve, you both seemed like the type to take Mr. Marienhoff’s AP American History class. Why don’t you apply some of the critical thinking we learned at HCHS to this claim, instead of taking the word of a left-punching liberal “professor” - unless you’re predisposed to believe this claim?

We shot a ridiculous amount of camera setups so there wasn't a lot of time for that, and why the notes were really useful. I kept Katherine Dieckmann's notes and boards and I kept Peter Lauer's. I think our record for one day was 57 setups.

They waited until now to run the anti-trans ads and make the anti-trans statements, this feels like a Purcell precedent but for team blue. If they win, shouldn't we criticize the elected representatives that promise to simply move forward instead of looking back to how we got here?

Lauer is still banging out episodic TV but I doubt they give him the freedom he had on “Tool and Die” or “Halloweenie” to just take themes and run with it. His overhead shots with lock-offs were a lot of fun to shoot as well as looking cool as hell.

Peter was very prepared. His director’s notes were several times longer than the script. Made some of the best episodes. www.imdb.com/name/nm04907...

According to the Stockholm
International Peace Research Institute
(SIPRI), the US accounted for 69% of Israel's imports of major conventional arms between 2019 and 2023.
In May 2024, the US confirmed it had paused a single consignment of 2,000lb and 500lb bombs over concerns Israel was going ahead with a major ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. But Biden immediately faced a backlash from Republicans in Washington and from Netanyahu who appeared to compare it to an "arms embargo". Biden has since partially lifted the suspension and not repeated it.

If we are talking “defund the police” we’re talking about a compromise position compared to “abolish the police” and there’s intentional polarization in there. Right-wingers accurately characterizing left-wing positions rarely happens, for good reason: they’re often more popular than they think.

It’s tough to say what his worst act was as CEO-
with Bong Joon Ho’s “Mickey 17” and Robert De Niro starter “The Alto Knights,” the latter of which was personally greenlit by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav.

Richard Widmark is not in this film but it certainly seems like they modeled this painting on him.

On the right a woman and a man are incredibly close to each other in profile but not quite kissing. Text reads “Where the passions…
…meet the sins of the…”
On the left, against a white background, a guy in a suit and gray hat with a cigarette dangling from his lips looks up and to the right. He’s not happy. He looks a heck of a lot like Richard Widmark, who is not in this film.

If Democrats nominate Joe Biden, he may win, and we'll have four years of weak, feckless Democratic
leadership. And then, in four years, he'll be defeated by a Republican Party even more openly white nationalist. If you nominate an Obama redux, you'll just get a worse
Trump redux

They’re on the same side but the camera work feels scared of them and the narration is reassuring themselves.

I did charge the kids up this morning with something I call "Italian pancakes" which is just pancakes with some slices of salami on the side, so maybe they were feeling extra Italian today

Oh no, Betsy’s not On Board with that! Someone is cutting holes in the ship before it even sails!! Endless moderation with an opposition that’s running farther and farther away means you’re dragged to the right. We tried that with Biden and look where we are.

Lost 9-3 at soccer today. Truly you do sometimes have to give it to the Italians. My oldest had a hat-trick for our team and an assist for the other team. No western cheezburger today. One of the kids has clearly been watching some pro soccer, they came off at halftime saying “That was cinema!”

Too bad you’re replying to someone who isn’t here instead of me. Asking the Democratic Party to stop helping with a genocide is helping Trump? How big do you think the pro-genocide constituency is in the Democratic Party?

Wait you think this leftist is both all-powerful and unpopular? And that the left are cranks nobody should listen to and also the one reason the Nazis took over the USA?
8. The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.
