Holy poo poo, is this how they're verifying his death?

I really do hope were getting played and 'Supermani' shows up after being three days, because "Shi'a Jesus" would be a helluva twist for this season.

I genuinely believe the American craving for war in 2003 was an aberration driven by 9/11. We've grown numb & blind to the forever wars, but we've also consistent showed we don't want visible escalation.

I'd add "tax refund go down" to that list but that actually happened and none of the chuds cared.

Saying the cap should be eliminated would imply that Social Security shouldn't be a regressive system that people pay into and then withdraw from which would be socialism, and the democrats certainly aren't going to support that.

It was always kind of implied we wouldn't give a poo poo about anyone else's opinions on what we do or why, what with the open secret plan to invade the Hague should it ever put any Americans on trial and all, but yeah -- openly assassinating people without cause or open warfare is kind of a thing for us now. :d2a:

I can't speak to whether it's true right now but people have been protesting in Iran, including calling for him to die, for years. Usually in very short spurts followed by very painful crackdowns.
