Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
That assumes that the Republicans in the House can find a volunteer around whom the whole party can gather, and who can then actually command the party when the dust settles. If Johnson stays in with Democratic help, one can then tag anything Johnson does as a bipartisan fault because they voted to ...

Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
Democrats make shock move to back Republican speaker Mike Johnson
Hord to copy paste on a phone. The core of it is that the Dems like the way Johnson votes on Ukranian spending bills, so they want to keep him around, despite everything else.
I guess just fuck that progressive vote right off then.

Netanyahu can stop without it being a coup. It would be policy turnaround, but not a coup.

Really, that is what you are going with? Fuck off Russian bot. Countries don't have universal rights within their own borders though, so I fail to see the issue here.

Apparently Israel has just struck Isfahan in Iran.
Iran says the nuclear sites are unharmed.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
How about not making fake claims. I wager aerius is referring to the conflict in Donbas, where Ukraine fired rockets into heavily civilian areas. Was that before or after the "seperationists" in Donbas fired a missile that took out a civilian airplane? Concurrently. Odd to put separationi...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Let me spell this out for you. America doesn't give a fuck about the Ukraine or its people. The only reason they support the Ukraine is because they thought they could use them to cripple Russia, remove them as a rival on the world stage and solidify their own position as the world's only superpowe...

With what army? The US Army, hopefully. We certainly spend enough on it. And how exactly is the US army going to get to the Ukraine and support itself there? This is not Desert Storm where there's a safe location for NATO to assemble forces & supplies for months before starting hostilities, not...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Why the fuck does Netanyahu's government think they can attack Iran and NOT have consequences? Oh, right - Israel has a right to defend its interests but no one else does. Motherfuckers. They know that the US will ultimately fall in line behind Israel, even for sheer electoral reasons before anythi...

A rare good showing from Smith.
Biden has some real shortcomings, and going "But Trump" just doesn't seem to be enough.

Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
Axios I can't really post the article here, because it has a lot of links, some graphs, and formatting that won't really translate. But the general point is that the Biden campaign has a massive fundraising advantage over the Trump campaign, as they both look to November. Considering Trump's abilit...

You can keep repeating that claim all you want, it means nothing because that's not what's happening here . You can waffle on about anti-communist bullshit as much as you like as if it's somehow relevant but it changes nothing. By all means though, keep stuffing that strawman with those red herring...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
That's how you get around government bans and blocks in the US and Canada (probably most of Europe too). Example - Contractor that owes the government money and they are garnishing your wages? Set up a corporation, and have that corporation bill people for your services, and then just take your pay...

To qualify as "holocaust denial" it has to contain one or more of the following: Nazi Germany's "Final Solution" was aimed only at deporting Jews from the territory of the Third Reich and did not include their extermination. Nazi authorities did not use extermination camps and g...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
The ease of Tik Tok is that you can open it up for instant content with little effort. Adding a VPN layer is going to slow a lot of people.

Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
I see three possibilities for 2028: - Trump wins this year. He can't run again - Trump loses this year. I doubt he can delay his trials long enough, so he's going to have to try and run from wherever he's been incarcerated. - Trump dies Either way, I can't see him being a serious candidate in 2028 ...
