        Probably. Tucker Carlson is saying the same thing, so their handlers are telling them “nope, we don’t like that”.

        I’m guessing everyone with a brain doesn’t want the US to go into Iran. It’s like these people didn’t learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).

            You don’t need an education system, just past lived experience. Trump himself regularly lies about how he was always against the Iraq war. It’s just one letter off, should be pretty easy to work out what would happen if they did the same thing again.

          Not to mention the terrain of Iran would prove an order of magnitude more difficult to overcome. Afghanistan was already very difficult for our military, imagine MORE mountains

            Yep, huge country, difficult terrain, largely homogeneous culture that goes back to the Persian Empire, homegrown weapons industry that can build their own drones and missiles. This is going to be more difficult by orders of magnitude.

    I oppose war in Iran because war is detestable.

    You oppose war in Iran because you want troops in California instead.

    We are not the same.

    This is not a time to get hung up about identity politics, who’s red, who’s blue. Everyone should scream at the Trump regime that war with Iran is unacceptable and to never bring it up again.

    There will be time for bickering afterwards about details, but right now, everyone against this war should circle the wagons.

    And everyone not against this war needs to first say no to that war, second pick up an history book about Iraq and Afghanistan.

            Isn’t it fascinating.

            Like the other day I learned just how easy it would be to make an AI “character” and sell “nudes” to men on only fans.

            Like if all the people scalping the Switch 2 had any clue how much they could make doing that, I’d be able to buy a Switch 2. Then I could do it too to make money to buy the Switch 2 games.

            But unlike scalpers, my empathy prevents me from telling people there’s sex in the VIP room.

          Well it might make a few bucks there but it’s a pretty disgusting concept. I don’t really understand how there are so many people utterly devoid of empathy.

          I always assumed it was an innate human trait and that someone needed to have it abused out of their brain or have some kind of mental illness. Is it even possible that this many children being mistreated so badly or have undiagnosed mental illness? That is both a shocking idea and hard to believe.

          The alternative is that it’s a learned trait and the parents and educators of these people have failed them so spectacularly that they can’t even begin conceive of their inability to identify with another person. The cognitive dissonance required to see a person that doesn’t look exactly like them as not a person is astounding.

      “Keep me in power and, more importantly, the spotlight”

      She’s an attention whore. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s why she married her pedophile husband: he gave her attention when she was underage.

        Kind of fitting that an abuse victim with Stockholm’s Syndrome is the de facto mascot of Republican women.

          See, by my nature I usually make a joke as a reply to everything.

          But that statement…man. It’s hard to justify making a joke about rale/abuse victims and pedophila.

          Can you just talk about J.D Vance instead? Remember the meme where he fucks couches??? Now THAT I can work with!

      If you could sum it up in one word: isolationist.

      This means low/no immigration, limiting cultural access to ‘home grown’ culture and expelling anyone that doesn’t conform to whatever her idea of ‘American’ is. The only ‘good’ part of that stance is that this also means they don’t want to sign up to the traditional penchant for military adventurism you’ll typically see from the right.

      “We have propaganda news on our side just as the left does”

      Greene claimed that since Carlson was fired from “neocon network Fox News, he has more popularity and viewers than ever before” and that “he unapologetically believes the same things I do.”

      Yeah, nah.

    When I hear someone like MTG say something like this my first thought isn’t “Oh, she’s finally figuring it out!” No. It’s “What fucked up way does she think people need to be brainwashed to align more with her brand of shittiness?”
