  1. In WWII weren't Brits encouraged to do normal stuff including tea time and visiting the pubs knowing that there could be bombings at any time? Somehow there's a lot more nobility in that than this bullshit though.
  2. Hey Sam, the ocean called, they’re running out of shrimp!
  3. They unify over hatred of browns and gays. What do you propose the democrats unify around? Telling a huge chunk of your party voters to go fuck themselves is how you lose national elections especially with a party whose base is far and away more intellectual and critical thinking than the opposition. Stupid talking points like "socialism" and "they want yur guns" doesn't work for the democratic party.
  4. Yup, which is why that David Hogg dude pissed me off. His opening message as vp of the democratic party (at least from the headlines I saw) was that his goal was to "take down" traditional old school democrats, i.e., a person in leadership wanting to attack and ruin the careers of lifelong dems. Ironically, I'd probably agree with him on most policies, including that the party needs to move further left on economic and other issues. But you don't do that by attacking and "taking out" the old school dems. The approach is to say we are going to do all we can to push the party to more progressive policies by encouraging more progressives, young ones in particular, into primaries and treating them equally to everyone else. The overriding complaint has been that the party elites favored Hilary over Bernie, etc., which is probably true, but there were still votes, and she won. The same elites favored Hilary over Obama but he messaged better and got the votes. The dems need to fight it out in primaries, vigorously, but then coalesce around whoever wins, because the worst democrat furthest from your views is still monumentally better than the average republican these days. Fucking Joe Manchin is an example, I probably disagree with his approach to most things, but he's never been maga, and that's probably good enough (also from WV nobody should ever expect a progressive dem, a dem/independent at all is a win).
  5. Murdered Mrs. Newsom’s pussy too tho right?
  6. I agree, I've been impressed with his work thus far. But in this thread, he sucks, Obama sucks, everyone sucks, and it's getting really annoying. I really didn't like his trans athlete stuff on the podcast but I'm quite confident that as president he would, if nothing else, not go out of his way to fuck around with trans people, so it's a minor concern at this point, unless he goes back to it hard on a campaign trail. I still prefer Mayor Pete, but Newsom can win a lot of people over depending on how this situation ultimately plays out.
  7. The thing is, we don't, at least not in the modern world. We have the technology and ingenuity to feed and house every human being ten times over and everyone could live happy and confortably. There would still be super rich people and not so rich people but we could end poverty in a year or two if we all agreed to make it happen. We dont though . . . . I thought these two posts were very appropriate.
  8. Well yeah of course there are people there being repressed and who want out. I’m talking about the majority. If given legitimate self determination and if decided fairly (bigs ifs I know this is hypothetical) would they choose pre revolution style freedoms or stick with fundamentalist theocracy? I think it’s wrong to assume that everyone chooses freedom, at least the way we understand it, religion is insanely addictive it seems even today.
  9. Greeting that starts with an H, I’ll take the $20.
  10. That makes sense for those who fled but wonder what it’s like for those there today. If there’s one thing the masses like it’s religious superiority. Are the people living in Iran wanting to go back to pre 1979 or to continue fundamentalism possibly with different leaders?
  11. Unless they’re ready to reverse 1979, if they self determine their own new regime it’s still gonna be a bunch of fundamentalist assholes so I don’t see why we should give a shit other than trying to avoid the spread of end games nuclear war.
  12. LOL, his whole campaign was that everyone else’s inability to make deals is weakness, now this beta bitch is crying that the other side won’t agree. He said he could make all the deals and is admitting he can’t. Not that it matters to his cuck brigade in congress. From reading through stuff I think we obviously knew it was gonna happen but there’s no way dotard asked for it or even supported it, the threat of it was the leverage, and now he looks weak as fuck, at least to anyone who matters. Jim Bob Bitchboy from Bearshit, Alabammer will worship him no matter what, but world leaders are more and more resolved that he’s got nothing but ragetweets and that stupidly long tie. That’s all he is to them anymore. Good job everyone, you elected a weak limp dick moron, keep sucking that mushroom though, because pronouns or some stupid shit.
  13. Ana love libtears as always. It’s his only policy initiative. Still craving that Hunter hog.
  14. True dat.
  15. I was skeptical but the NYT reported on the survivor. Absolutely stunning that someone lived. He should play the fucking powerball.
  16. Art of the Deal 2: MAD Boogaloo.
  17. Lolwut? Blame? If it’s bad for the US its Obidens’s fault. Derangement syndromes and whutnot.
  18. Like ou/tx from an OKST fans perspective. edit bf negbomb: I do in reality hope for tx to win that game because seriously fuck ou
  19. It’s all been for home field advantage. Anyone wearing a Mexico jersey will be detained. Boom home field for USA and the weak ass soccer team they seem to put out there every few years.
  20. I was saying ACC makes more sense for UF specifically, but those others make sense too since Stanford and Cal both have programs and are ACC.
