  1. He's gonna have to show me something. This reminds me a lot of the MJ Hegar campaigns. Well-produced commercial introducing the candidate to people who've never heard of them? How many times do they need to learn this lesson? It really don't make a shit how much of a veteran, rancher, cop, firefighter, or whatever the candidates are. Texan voters do not actually care about how much you LARP as a "real" Texan. For fuck's sake Dan Patrick is from Maryland. Nice guy, great platform, but this is a sales pitch that has never worked for any Democrat in any statewide race. Please tell me they have more in the playbook than this.
  2. Lander is a badass.
  3. The DNC will absolutely kneecap this guy in the general election. They hate grassroots movements and candidates who can excite voters.
  4. That or they're keeping their powder dry after recognizing the strikes for the farce that they were. I say wait at least a month after a major event before drawing any conclusions about victory, success, strength, or weakness. We've gone from "complete and total obliteration" to "minor setback" in a matter of hours. Not everything deserves an Israel-style overreaction.
  5. I WON IRAN BY A LOT!
  6. Trump is transactional and he feels Israel especially Bibi is being ungrateful after we did it the favor of striking the three sites. However our uniparty foreign policy gang is going to steer him away from actually retaliating against Israel outside of angry Truths and snarky call-in media hits on Fox News. Fantana is right. Nothing has fundamentally changed on the ground for Iran since Israel started this war. Trump wanted to feel like a badass and for a weekend he got many pats on the back from republicans and liberals alike with no media attention whatsoever on how incredibly fucking illegal it was, not to mention hypocritical compared to the media's coverage of Russia threatening a Ukrainian nuclear facility. Very smart people have known for decades that those are sensitive targets with huge ecological repercussions for the region. We don't want another Chernobyl or Fukushima. The media has really disappointed me, and the bar was already incredibly low.
  7. They're ice agents in robes
  8. thanks Grok
  9. I thought this was a puddle brain take about Ukraine
  10. Social media makes it very hard for legacy media to hide or misrepresent the intentions of the people they want us to bomb
  11. Iran was already at the negotiating table before Israel attacked it. Iran was willing to return to the table on condition that Israel stop bombing it.
  12. Antisemitic broken clock
  13. Van Jones in shambles
  14. Time to ask all the MAGA soccer moms with Aidens in 11th grade how excited they are for their kids to be drafted to die for Israel
  15. Knicks
  16. Asterisk Game 7
  17. Real talk, before the "total obliteration" of those nuclear sites had anyone in the general American public actually lost any sleep over brown guys in turbans at any point in the last decade? I just don't think the Islamophobia is at those post-9/11 Toby Keith levels anymore.
  18. Oh that's because the "liberal" media loves war, too. Half the ads on MSNBC are from defense contractors. The talking head defense "experts" could hardly hide their boners regardless what channel you were watching. So it's not just a Fox News viewer problem, they are just the most influential and their talking points need only a few minutes to make their way into comment sections, small town diners, and Facebook groups, so that it feels like "common sense" that Biden opened the borders to 50 million marauding savages.
  19. He knew beforehand that it was going to happen, and allowed his people to be slaughtered instead of preventing it.
  20. People believe whatever the media tells them to believe. That means if Fox News tells you it's a problem, you believe it's a problem. If Fox News tells you to care about it, you care about it. If Fox News stops talking about it, you stop talking about it. Only one political party has figured this out. That's why Dems are always two steps behind, reacting to poll numbers instead of poll numbers reacting to them.
  21. Mainstream media TLDR
  22. He wanted to jumpstart his nosediving approval rating, and it might work temporarily. Really just depends how this all shakes out. People claiming it was a great decision less than 24 hours after it happened, that's just foolish
