War On Terror, Redux

Why isn’t this one of the main talking points of the Harris campaign? Not only do you need to vote for ME, but if Rs take the Senate we will only get more of their corrupt and shameful SCOTUS justices.

Stop focusing on Chump only and spread this thing out. Rs are poison, Rs are cowards, and THEY brought us to this pass…not just Chump. Chump is a buffoon, a clown, a fool, a coward, and a carnival barker…but none of this would have been inflicted on our nation if Rs had even the semblance of a spine.

So did Nasrallah never wash his hands? Or take a shower?. This needs a continent’s worth of salt, not just a truckload

They’re in my side yard, backyard, walking down the creek in front of my house, and sometimes gather in the meadow between the creek and the road.
I’ve lived here since 1962 and growing up here there were no deer here back then. I’ve posted this so many times, but damn they really don’t respect any boundaries.

They have no spines because they sold their backbones to the highest bidder.

Trump’s communication chief Steven Cheung has a remarkable job, spending his days claiming up is down, in is out, the global climate is cooling, red is blue or purple, Americans love shit sandwiches, Melania loves her husband – all the while believing there’s a paycheck waiting for him at the end of the day. This is the Art of the Con taken to a meta level with cons conning cons conning cons…

North Carolina, which sustained most of the damage, has a Democratic governor, so accepting federal help is not an issue.

Tennessee has a Republican governor—and a remarkably stupid one at that–who waited three days before asking for a federal state of emergency declaration. The devastation in parts of upper East Tennessee is pretty bad, and the state is dropping the ball, just as we knew it would.

Are you implying that Melania doesn’t do her own cooking? You can’t be serious!

I guess it’s possible if she gets a bit tipsy with her after-dinner cognac(s).

Someone forgot to send the memo to the Republicans. Their only standard is who pays the most.

That’s better than playing ‘Hot Potato’ with live hand grenades while flying on a private jet.
Yes, I’ve embellished the story of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death, but not by much.

What a terrific piece of writing ! Prof. Snyder is becoming our mirror to our own manifest flaws. There is no way a pure innocent American electorate should ever tolerate a fascist moron like Trump on a ballot anywhere in our government, and yet here we are. Snyder has pointed out the real reasons why Trump is still in the thrall of nearly half of our fellow citizens. Unbelievable.

It wouldn’t surprise me if she needs a recipe to make a PB&J.

I was talking to TPM. One would hope that professional writers would know what scare quotes are, even if you don’t.

LOL again! Read what I wrote. “Hamas only helps him keep a hammerlock on power.”
Because that same swath of people who are pissed beyond pissed at Bibi Netanyahu that you refer to, so you know that they are there, can’t dislodge him as long as the exigency of war against Israel’s enemies is underway. Two things can be true at the same time.

So yeah, call me an idiot. I said the same thing as you do, so say it to yourself too. The only difference between us seems to be that a simultaneous fact that a hegemonic attempt to destroy the Jewish state is also underway, backed up monetarily, with training, and with armaments, by Iran.

As long as that keeps up, the dynamic is poisonous and it seems that with their political system, a lot of people will continue to be pissed at Bibi but not have the power to dislodge him from power.

Lord God Almighty and the Five Hells, “can’t we both condemn Hamas and condemn Israel” – think about this formulation you have written!

Hamas is Palestine?

Israel is Likud?

Excuse me?

If you condemn Israel as such, well, good luck to you ever reaching that peace you speak about.

So while we are on the topic of word substitutions, try dropping in “Palestine” for “Hamas.” Are you proposing we condemn Palestine?

If you’re talking about an “existence proof,” I think what you’ve demonstrated is closer to a nihilism proof. Your formulation, as offered, does not admit peace into the room.
