A democrat party always has a big donkey piñata but instead of candy it just has vouchers that you can turn in to get a discount on the sales tax at the cash bar

Killin_Like_Bronson posted:You start out in 2016 by saying, “succ, succ, succ.” By 2021 you can’t say “succ”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh backtracking in goals is bad, means testing is reductive, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about Impeachment ftv, and all these things you’re talking about are totally pointless things and a byproduct of them is the working poor get hurt worse than wine moms.… “We want to reassess unaccompanied child detainees,” is much more abstract than even the kids in cages, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “succ, succ".

KomradeX posted:Wait what? That sounds like a profoundly bad idea It was an exception so they could make Lloyd Austin defense secretary despite him not being retired for three years or whatever the requirement is. Mattis got one too. It’s not a great trend to be setting but honestly less troublesome than Austin’s Raytheon employment

Philosophically I think it’s possible to make abstract arguments in favor of intervention that hold up academically. But that’s really just professional fart sniffing and ignores the fact that it is fundamentally impossible for the US to intervene in a way that is beneficial because the motives and the goals of US intervention are inherently formed around maintaining imperial hegemony. Don’t ever trust anyone who argues that the intervention could have been done right, because it’s going to be based on some fantasy that the US will value something other than what it always values. That fantasy is based on either naivety or obfuscation

Eifert Posting posted:I think it was dumb as hell and served no purpose. Much like us doing poo poo in Syria would have been. I very much believe that intervention in Syria would have gone poorly, particularly with the Bush or Obama administration managing it, but to me there are plausible reasons for someone to feel otherwise that are more believable than ”being paid by the CIA to promote US intervention to super online podcast listeners." Keep in mind that Robert Evans, Professional Conflict Tourist isn’t taking direct payments from the CIA in exchange for talking points. He’s being paid by Bellingcat and iHeart and taking a paycheck and also editorial oversight and maybe having conversations with more experienced and senior people he trusts.

Homeless Friend posted:to be clear tho, gwb did majorly gently caress up the invasion of iraq. tho its more accurate to blame rumsfield. sayin its his greatest crime tho. lol I’m not sure that they really did gently caress it up — at least not from the perspective of the people way up on top. The oil has mostly flowed, the US has justified maintaining its presence, regional adversaries have been greatly destabilized. It’s been an endless money sink, sure, but who’s hands has that money gone into? Lots of dead soldiers but not enough to spark Vietnam levels of domestic unrest.

Anyone arguing for US intervention is selling a fantasy, naive or cynical does it really matter?

Gobblecoque posted:the cia doesn't need to be careful about how they invest because they have infinite money While true, nobody in the intelligence community is directly paying Bobby Evans, Professional Conflict Tourist, any money and he isn't getting daily briefings or marching orders or anything. He works for Bellingcat and iHeart where he gets mentorship and editorial oversight and has conversations with people he respects and who fill his head with certain ideas, stuff filters down and it's probably part of why his worldview is borderline incoherent

Eggplant Squire posted:Outlets that specifically refer to themselves as fact checkers basically exist to just launder their bad editorials with a term that makes you look like a conspiracy theorist if you disagree. The pinnochio guy from WAPO basically just shits out whatever is in his empty skull without bothering to cite things. We rate this post four Pinocchios. Mr. Kessler’s skull clearly contains both a brain and a healthy amount of cerebrospinal fluid. Were this not the case then Mr. Kessler would be incapable of fact checking.
