And firing Howard Lutnick should be such a layup on its own.

And I’d whole-heartedly support investigating all of those to ensure no harm is coming to any patients, but the high rate of assisted suicide is still going to be influenced by the overwhelming incidence of illnesses there are that lead to slow or painful deaths. You cannot simply throw out a...

As well as suffering during the late stages of horrifying terminal illnesses.

I mean, sure. I don’t have a better answer. I’m just saying that if I accept time as not necessarily being linear and existence directly negating the lack of existence that I don’t see it as some sort of unsolvable conundrum.

I have no qualms with this just being a universally reality of some sort. If anything exists, then nothing can’t exist. I don’t see why that can’t just hold on its own if you don’t think of time as linear.

Not if they don’t start paying their bus fares.

I think it’s at least fair to question how much that stabilizing effect is solely for the shared geopolitical goals of the politically conservative Israeli and US Administrations. You are of course welcome to find those goals valid and important, but it feels rather dismissive to claim anybody...

The problem genuinely might just be that they’re indeed a bunch of clowns, and any positives to their approach here will be tangential.

My objection on this front is not just anti-war wokeness, but the long term effects of such policy on these regions, particularly if we insist on steering the direction of their economy post-intervention in a way that favors American interests. I pretty strongly believe the best path toward...

That’s certainly a likely outcome, but I’m at best agnostic on what becomes of the region as a whole once another state rushes to fill the power vacuum. But these are rather straight-forward arguments about the use of military force in larger geopolitical conflicts, which isn’t *really* where my...

Where would you like me to backtrack? I accept that Trump’s thus-far one and done operation in Venezuela hasn’t led to destruction, but has it led to tangible, positive outcomes for the Venezuelan people? Replacing Maduro with another dictator isn’t necessarily a long-term win for Venezuela, and...

You’re not wrong, but I am having a hard time seeing the vision that leads us there and accepting that as some sort of obvious goal of this particular bunch, given their other views on these populations as a whole. If one wants to argue both that we’re nobly saving Iranian people from the...

This general attitude sort of spells out why I’m not currently convinced of anything positive happening right now. Just as with Venezuela, supporters are eager to highlight the plight of the people being subjected to oppression as some problem we aim to solve, but there’s no real indication the...

There’s a pretty tangible difference at this point between what I’m calling MAGA in this context and certain voters such as yourself. You have a lot of ideological common ground with someone like thethe, but you aren’t a cultist. In the case of Ukraine and Russia, I have largely agreed that we...

Sure, but there’s two issues with this: First, Trump mustn’t be graded on a curve. Being better at politics than Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and the DNC does not make him a good President. My objections to his conduct were not a commentary on his electoral effectiveness, and the jackasses he...

I just don’t think it’s controversial to suggest that the government ought to be a bit less flippant about the global disturbance they’re presently creating.

There’s such a profound lack of any sense of the gravity of the situation right now coming from the White House. You’re doing a regime change war, people are fucking dying. Maybe Trump and his people could act like that’s a serious and solemn thing instead of shitposting and getting annoyed that...

While somehow simultaneously clutching their pearls if we dared to compare the two, or worse yet if we tried to use the same rationale with Iran.

One thing I’ve wondered since the start of this war is how MAGA squares the support of this Iran campaign as part of a larger impact on CCP Oil with the generally pro-Russia stance they’ve taken on.
