If Lavrov said something who gives a gently caress? Not that I hold Trump/Tillerson in any higher esteem but the point isn't the he said / she said aspect of the discussion, it's that the Whitehouse is not actively pressing Putin and Co. About the issue. If the Russian President says " prove it" that is about as close as you are going to get to a confession, and we backed down because we have a self-interestd retard running the nation

I just got approved for my Law school voc rehab and honestly don't see this as being a real issue. All the retarded military hero worship in this country might have something to say about it.

As much of a fucker Tucker is, he isn't wrong with regards to attacks from Iran since 9/11. Were the US not to enter either country, the count would be zero. I think expecting a country who enabled a long and bloody war against your country, including facilitating the use of chemical weapons, to operate freely and without consequence on its borders is insane, especially due to the sectarian nature of those you put in power.

I think attacks against civilians in the US is more of a threat than funnelled weapons to attack troops that shouldn't be there.

Tucker also has the advantage of a platform where if he changes his mind then is lemming like audience will drink it up as wisdom, but if anyone else were to do so they're inconsistent or flip flopppers or saving face.

Alot of the people who you see on Fox news who were in/around the Superdome were those that didn't have the means to evacuate. Sure, the government at every level said to leave, but there was no public means of evacuating for the 10s of thousands of super broke citizens of Louisiana who didn't have a car and didn't make the cut in a friend or family members vehicle.

Being told you have to leave and not having anyplace to go when you live in 3rd world poverty is kind of like being told you're gonna die by the government. Everyone involved in NO and the broader La. State government during Katrina should be hanged until death. gently caress every single one of them.

Edit: also gently caress FEMA, George Bush, Cheney and every federal stooge right in the pussy

Edit: it was about day 4 after the hurricane when I realized that no one was coming to clear the roads on the north side of lake ponchatrain and me and my family would have to become Job Creators and personally hire some individuals to cut us out so we could finish evacuating to Dallas.

Like beyond writing an article and posting about it? I enjoyed the female Supply officers we had once or twice aboard the Florida. They made the whole experience significantly less surreal, and in doing so made it less unpleasant.

Though now that I think about it that's probably not a possibility for combat roles so :shrug:

Also I think party over country is a natural point that capitalism mixed with being a representative democracy would always reach but that's probably something for someone smarter to decide.

It took Ascension to the very top spot to become a priority, which I doubt the framers wanted to bother to plan for in the founding documents. Once the USSR fell we started looking inwards for enemies. Now the well is so loving poisoned that teaming up with our previous enemies is being rationalized as good and necessary to SAVE THE REPUBLIC (billions on life insurance)


I mean the civil war was pretty wild, and was similarly the product of unhinged paranoia and the placement of personal interests over the security of the nation, so I guess it really only took 90 years or so. We should probably do a bit more to amend the power structures in this nation to box out idiots

What exactly was the appealing alternative they were being offered? If we're talking about lower class rubes and not wealthy suburbanites or money men who thought Trump would keep his promises to them, most Democrats are somewhere between wholly uncaring about their problems and actively hoping for their deaths.

Ah yes, if we absolve the rubes who were one of the primary beneficiaries of the healthcare program they voted to destroy, who else can we blame?

How.about every (R) party voter that knew better but voted for a senile conman out of strict party politics or a supreme.court seat? As much as I recognize that trampling minority and LGBT rights is a priority, it seems difficult to believe that anyone with half a brain couldnt predict this as the trajectory of the Trump administration. Less than 200 days in and it's about as pathetic as any prediction that didn't involve immediate icbm exchanges.

Free community college? A major infastructure rehaul and jobs program? Student debt forgiveness? Some attention to the opioid crisis? I realize we are talking about idiots, but to act like there was nothing being offered is disengenuous. Throw in the half the eligible voting population, who can't possibly be as stupid as the 30% polled that still approve of the President's performance, and there is alot of blame to go around
