  • I still swallowed my pride and voted for her anyway, but I've never been so insulted as when I heard the "greatest economy ever" line over and over.

  • Don't take all the blame from the US. We didn't have to be Israel's bitch

  • I'd hope so. I'd imagine at least 100 people are giving a dollar

  • That's how it was meant to work. The president didn't get to order wars like this until after the 1940s.

    Congress should only allow the president to act alone only if the homeland is directly attacked by another nation. Not a terrorist from another country, bona fide military forces. And maybe a handful of limited exceptions that directly impact US soil.

    Otherwise we should deliberate and take time to think before getting involved in foreign wars. We have no right to try to police the world and it's a massive waste of resources

  • That does make more sense. I thought this was just a weird saying I'd never heard before

  • I feel like you're reading a lot into this and start with a false premise. Both war and WW3 can be bad, WW3 is just more memeable

  • Obviously he won't do the right thing as Peter's puppet. But he has a very good chance of becoming Peter.

    I'm only bringing it up because of how he looked on this talk. Man looked like he was gonna throw up, but that's all speculation

  • This is true, but I'm particularly interested in Vance's opinions right now. He's next in line if the geriatric bastard ever kicks the bucket.

    If he dumps the MAGA grift that would be good news in the long run. I don't expect him to, but at this point it would be nice

  • Did it look like Vance was actually disturbed by this? He looked off more than usual.

    He made his bed, but I wonder if he's having regrets

  • I'm betting they use the "punishment for a crime" clause that allows slavery and begin selling undocumented immigrants to the highest bidder.

    I wouldn't put full blown slave auctions past these people

  • I loved hearing NPR this morning talking to a person living in Iran and a person living in Israel trying to make it sound like the war is impacting them both equally. While absolutely ignoring that Israel started this war.

    They were using language that would make you think this war is a naturally occurring weather event. Something that just happens, instead of an act of aggression from Israel.

    I felt like I was going crazy listening to that

  • Usually I agree when it's regular citizens critiquing other regular citizens for not starting an armed rebellion. I find that line of thinking disingenuous.

    But we should have higher expectations of our elected officials. Congressmen have power and they are expected to use it to benefit their constituents.

  • If this was about affordable housing you could easily utilize limited parcels of land adjacent to towns and build a few high density apartments with priority housing for federal workers, since these land management agencies typically already do have employee housing. Allow HUD to manage it for non-employees.

    Done, no need to sell anything and they'll likely make money.

    This could be done using very little acreage and have a huge impact on affordability in rural communities. Even adding 100 new apartments could be a big help and have such a small footprint.

    There are solutions, but these people just want more fossil fuels

  • Let's be fair only about 33% of the country gets erect.

    An additional 15% support him because they are convinced democrats eat babies. This group goes back and forth on whether or not they like his policies, but ultimately support them.

    Then about 5-10% cannot make up their mind, and flop back and forth. Typically if this group thinks the economy is good they side with the incumbent if they think it is bad they side with the other side.

  • I hard disagree with what you said, but you are also correct with the political situation.

    A minority party in a normal world shouldn't only be obstructionist. They should ideally all work together to make the best outcomes for the constituents. This is a functional democracy.

    Now that our democracy is in absolute decay on the path to a fascist takeover (if not already there), you are absolutely right.

    Maybe pedantic, but I feel like it's important to remember how things should function.

  • It's a bad agreement to make. If a nuclear nation tries to make a deal with a non-nuclear country to not develop a weapon that country needs to double their nuclear program funding.

    The US doesn't respect their agreements and Russia clearly hasn't. At best nuclear nations just want to keep the non-nuclear nation subservient

  • I'm glad you made this post. Reddit banned me after some pro-luigi posting after 13 years on the platform.

    I checked and all my comments are still there so I should start cleaning them up. No reason they should be able to make money from me anymore
