I would do unspeakably awful things to figure out how pho broth tastes as good as it does and to have a personal source of that. Instead I go to a pho restaurant nearby every two weeks or so and order something.

Pretty with you on the Soleimani being a little bit of an international "oopsie" but I don't give Trump any wiggle room on that. This is loving exactly the kind of poo poo that leads to an accidental escalation that anyone with two functional foreign policy brain cells has been screaming themselves hoarse about happening if piss baby keeps up his 'maximum pressure' jingoistic dick-waving. At this point he loving owns any accidents that happen.

Would be a gigantic middle finger directly to the orange fecal smear himself though, so I can see it happening. Would also hit him in his most tender spot, the ego. Any attack on the US or US interests will be filtered through his "Does my base give a gently caress about this y/n? Because I personally don't." thought process.

While they've been hosed up for decades, and there was certainly a lot of flag toting "Murica! gently caress Yeah!" post 9/11 poo poo going on, I can't really say it felt like Republicans were a death cult with GWB as their holy avatar. The political laws of physics seem to have changed since then and I just don't see super high gas prices today cracking the cult base. As long as those loving whack jobs get permission to be bigoted poo poo heads and make the out-group suffer they will never forsake their master.

bulletsponge13 posted:I'm aware, but it's not something that they haven't done a bunch before. I just think that if there was a long term "Defeat Iran" victory strategy, it would be worth the risk. I just don't get what we hoped to achieve from killing him more than escalation. You seem to be operating under the assumption that the commander in chief does understand what the gently caress we are doing. I would recommend not entertaining that notion. There is no strategy. Someone put words in front of him and the decaying neuron soup of his dementia riddled brain said "yes". You have already thought more about the consequences of this than his rotten think-meat did.

It's cool that if you believe any of the propaganda about the jingoistic dick waving "maximum pressure" campaign the purpose was to foment instability and make the domestic pressure untenable. Shame about that crazy little 'reality' thing where we just gave the entire country something to rally around, working completely at odds with the previous propaganda but hey I guess gently caress reality though. Forget what your lying eyes are telling you, listen to the party, trust in the plan or some poo poo, trigger some liberals with your not being politically correct. Your kids will really feel bad next Thanksgiving when they're all proven wrong by the glorious orange god and have to come groveling back to you, tears in their eyes saying 'Sir, sir, I was wrong!' or what the gently caress ever motivates these people other than hatred and spite.

Wasn't Tulsi one of the people on board with the "Medicaid for America" or whatever the gently caress name that think tank came up with specifically for the purpose of confusing people about "Medicaid for all" with their Affordable Care Act 2.0 do-nothing bullshit "free market" solution? I kinda remember one of the candidates spouting that poo poo while you could practically see the lobbying check in their pocket and it was her in my admittedly foggy memory.

Retrowave Joe posted:How mad do you think Trump is that he can’t do the same? It's absolutely his instinctual political desire as an authoritarian demagogue but it's my opinion that even his syphilis-sponged lizard brain grasps that the nation isn't on board with that yet. Absolutely working towards that end, don't get me wrong, just not there as a country so I'd say he redirects his anger at being opposed into all the "radical leftist antifa super soldier do-nothing perfidious Democratic party enemies of the state" rhetoric. That, of course, being a stepping stone towards declaring all political opposition enemies of the state through whatever means becomes available. That's a process of erosion though, not something that can just be done instantly. While he is being frustrated in that long term goal I doubt there's enough non-swiss cheese'd grey matter left for him to be angry at the larger picture. He sees the enemy in front of him and shits his pants in narcissistic rage about that. What should be terrifying is the next authoritarian demagogue out there in the country right now who is taking notes on his successes and who is capable of that longer term thinking.

Russia is definitely gonna Russia with Putin at the helm but what went down was just his Intel community being ahead of the curve on social media disinformation. Absolutely point out the lovely poo poo they did, but it needs to go hand-in-hand with the domestic critique of "and now what are we going to do about it?" that doesn't stop with "Russia bad, Russia enemy, hate not-America". If we un-gently caress our burgeoning kleptocratic hellscape of mass suffering for the enrichment of the elite their efforts would find much less fertile ground to sprout in.

Unless that holster poo poo comes with suspenders or something I'll believe it works when I see it work in person. loving idiotic Army knee pads made me very well aware of how that poo poo is impractical if it's not sewn in or belted on somewhere else.

They didn't need regulation that long ago because they were likely buying local. On the flip side what's happening in the US where we "CUT THE BUDGET" and "ELIMINATE JOB KILLING REGULATIONS" so that meat packing plants are inspecting themselves and just reporting a pinky-swear to the oversight agencies that they're "totally clean, honest" isn't exactly stellar.
