  1. This is going to be some of the most humiliating shit anyone on earth has ever seen.
  2. Pray tell, what part of Kamala's campaign was far left? Or was it nominating a candidate who wasn't a white man that you consider far left?
  3. I didn't say you're a trumper, I said you're a conservative. It's pretty obvious from your posting history.
  4. Skipper is just a conservative, man.
  5. No, they won't.
  6. Not to sidetrack the thread further, but I think this is misleading. Nobody actually knows what happened. The most likely theory has always been that someone hacked Hunter's email and loaded up genuine emails along with a bunch of bullshit on a laptop that might have been stolen from Hunter or might've been another laptop entirely. What's pretty clear is someone tampered with the data on the laptop. It might've been Russians, it might've been GOP operatives. We don't know and probably never will. Marcy Wheeler has a good summary of all the knowns and unknowns here: https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/24/embarrassingly-wrong-the-ongoing-misinformation-campaign-about-the-hunter-biden-hard-drive/.
  7. This isn’t even the first time a right wing murderer has pretended to be the right’s fake lefty conspiracy version of himself as a troll. You’re basically promoting a terrorist’s manifesto. Good work, dipshit.
  8. The one thing Trump has always had good instincts on is that he doesn't want to put American boots on the ground. But tons of people around him and everyone on Fox News is going to be coaxing him to do so and I don't think he's got the self control to say no at the end of the day.
  9. I think @956 Worldwide's post yesterday is right. Iran's ability to both project force and to defend itself have been seriously impacted, their proxies they thought would help have shown themselves unreliable partners, as have Russia and China. The status quo isn't the same. However, it seems that all we've accomplished is a small delay in their nuclear program. In exchange for that delay, we've made them much likelier to pursue a bomb ASAP, have essentially destroyed international nonproliferation, gave Russia and China some new info on the B-2's capabilities and shown them that our bunker busters may not get the job done. Oh, and we've made it much likelier that Iran will be ruled by even more hardliners going forward. You can see how Israel sees all of this as a victory for them. But it's hard to see how it's a victory for us.
  10. And that's why you don't order an airstrike because you think it will play well on the teevee.
  11. I don't think I need to listen to Sam Harris and a guest explain three things I already know to me.
  12. He's a supremely weird fucking guy. He's I think the only reactionary centrist (i.e. what used to be the IDW crowd) who hasn't gone full Trumpy fash, but refuses to reflect at all on why all of his fellow travelers have seemingly gone insane and he thinks his own racism is smart and sophisticated while theirs is wrong and boorish.
  13. I know he didn't drop the N word, but that's some pretty disgusting racism from texashammer and deserves a fucking suspension at least.
  14. I’m all for bombing the shit out of a backwater theocratic regime that’s brutal to women and supports terrorism. I just think we need to start with Saudi Arabia.
  15. He thought he could declare a ceasefire like how Michael Scott thinks he can declare bankruptcy.
  16. And on the shadow docket with no explanation. Really fucking pure uncut John Roberts shit right here.
  17. Another thing to note: They continue to tell Trump that it's completely fine for him to disregard lower courts entirely.
  18. Oh cool, we're all going to die in third world torture prisons. I'm not voting for any Democratic nominee for president who doesn't vow to do the same to corrupt SCOTUS justices.
  19. The crimes of Imperial Japan were much more comparable to Israel than to Iran, simply in terms of scale. You can cry "human shields!" all you want to try to absolve Israel, but that will never explain this: That wasn't self defense, it was ethnic cleansing and annexation. Quite a bit similar to what Imperial Japan did in Manchuria (though hopefully with less rape). The Iranian government are assholes, but they have never done anything comparable.
  20. Trump has run for president three times (and arguably more) and won election twice. If that’s not a politician, nobody is.
  21. Yeah, you'd have to be real fucking dumb to think he'd ever do that. Like, dumber than Rex.
  22. It’s ok, he met a Jew once, so I’m sure he’s an expert.
  23. Oh good, we get to read Rex’s takes on Jews and Judaism, this should be fun.
  24. He’s threatened to invade Canada.
  25. Trump will make a great deal any day now.
