How are we supposed to spy on our presidential candidates now?

re: Do you still support Israel?

Yes. 109% for the only democracy in the Middle East. The Christian-Judo influence has created the civilized world.


What if I told you that not only is there another democracy in MENA, but it was the first Christian nation in the world? A country whose Muslim neighbor state is receiving weapons from Israel to kill said Christians.
That guy definitely knows what it feels like to have a pair of balls on your chin.

Not to worry, I was just told in this very thread that pulling billions out of the private sector is a bad thing, so we’re still on-track for a net positive.
It’s almost like there are consequences when you continually screw your constituents by hiking rates every year. Makes it tough to campaign when the worst thing that change can bring is essentially the status quo.

re: GOP got played

A quick browse of the responses and seems like people were tired of paying sky high prices for utilities.

Plus it says its an odd year election. Dont those tend to favor Democrats?


Folks want to make it more than what it is. The incumbent Republicans had approved rate increases every year for the last three years (at least). What were they supposed to run on? Better vote for us or the Democrat will raise your energy prices? People are fed up.

On the other hand, I hope the GOP gets the message that they need to focus on the economy and bringing costs down for families if they have any interest in maintaining the majority in the midterms (I don't think they do.).
I really don’t understand touting these seats as “bellwether” elections for the midterms. It’s such a hyper-specific office / issue. Plenty of conservatives, myself included, were fed up with the constant rate hikes and pulled the lever for democrats.
It was the dagger to their heart and each following play, a pleasurable twist of the knife. A fitting analog to the 2008 game.

This is the core issue of the argument and why everyone is just going to keep talking past each other.
A small middle eastern country comes up and suddenly “free-speech conservatives” become thought policing leftists in a moment. Surreal.

This is the type of junk that swings the pendulum back to the left.
We typically go once a month for meat, paper goods, and diapers. The rest of the month we stick with more local options. Those are the only items I’ve noticed an appreciable price difference.

Everyone was running for the hills when he was shot. I’m sure some of those sick fricks celebrated later though.


There’s video circulating on Telegram of a long-haired commie fist pumping in celebration after he’s shot.

ETA: It appears to be a TikTok video that someone posted on Telegram. He’s also looking back in the direction of the shooter and cheering, so hopefully the FBI has questioned him.

I typically don’t agree with much of anything that you post.

That said, I must admit it has been rather amusing to watch you put the spurs to this board as they contort themselves to justify the actions of this administration. The cognitive dissonance is surreal.

It all must be incredibly cathartic for you.

Israel has bombed much of it, so it probably wouldn’t make much difference.

I'm embarrassed to have supported a candidate who literally just fulfilled the wet dreams of Bill Kristol and John Bolton.


Just wait until we start hitting “other targets” when this all boils down to regime change.
quote:

Walk me though what you think comes next following the bunker buster.


The word “naive” has been thrown around a lot on this board lately. The idea that we’ll stop bombing once the proverbial cherry is popped and American aircraft are operating over Iranian airspace, is unbearably… naive.

By all appearances, Israel has been forced to coalesce its AD around critical infrastructure due to a lack of intercepters. The moment we begin launching sorties, there will be calls for us to aid Israel in hunting down and destroying launchers. To do any less would be ‘abandoning our ally’ and ‘allowing more innocent Israeli lives to be lost.’ After all, we bombed their most important HVT with impunity already, why wouldn’t we? “But there’d be no boots on the ground!”

Then you’ve got the usual suspects and the Israeli state already calling for regime change. Once we’ve neutered them through a comprehensive bombing campaign, it would be foolish to stop now. Wouldn’t it?

FWIW, I’d love to be wrong but I doubt it.
