We don’t want to threaten him, we want to tell him to fuck off into retirement. Threats just make politicians go turtle.

Personally I support arming the homeless.

I think republicans would be surprised by how many white people depend on those programs. They’re in full FAFO mode right now.

He doesn’t need to take bullets, he just need to take the exit, and get out.

Acceptable? No. Necessary? Well that gets a lot more grey.

Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.

The Panamanian government should have the entire canal mined with dead man switches immediately.

Zelensky has by no means lost the war, short of the US actually attacking them, which is very unlikely. Especially since half the stalling speeches while the GoP lost the CR vote today were GoP senators talking about backing Ukraine against Russia.

The EU is giving Zelensky better weapons than Russia can field, but production is slow or still ramping up. Russia has a ton of production, for shit weapons. Every passing moment moves advantage more towards Ukraine as more weapon system and insulation against Trump/Starlink comes online. No matter how the cease fire ends up, Russia is on a path to defeat by the end of the year. By next year Putin will be leveraging his house to pay Xi back his loans. And no matter who wins, China wins.

I mean look, those Russians were done using them anyway, and why let a perfectly good kidney go to waste?

Eh, kind of intentional. If you’re gonna fuck around, you’re gonna find out.

Thor dropping a mountain on my head.

They’re going to China to discuss sales numbers.

Zelensky should use any pause in the conflict to re-arm like mad. Divest from Starlink everywhere possible, and bring in European weapon systems. Don’t even think about slowing down until they’re mining Chernobyl for nukes with a stockpile already standing.

You are assuming a level of omniscience to our police and military that they only dream of actually having. And if you think the US population will put up with their own military, turning their own cities into Gaza, you would be very mistaken.

Because right wingers denying climate change just deregulated putting sewage in your drinking water. There, saved you having to do a whole study.

Tanks need fuel, drivers, and ways to cross rivers, drones have limited range and don’t see inside buildings. Roads, power, and water are pressure points. You don’t stand up to a stronger military force, you make it too expensive to operate, never being there when sudden things happen. That’s why IEDs were the biggest problem in Iraq and Afghanistan. No one to chase, everyone is a suspect, all enforcement has to operate at maximum alert, always.

Left wing gun owners don’t brag about their guns in general. For the most part the left wing really really abhors violence, until they don’t, then it’s door to door firing squads for the whole family. Because by the time you reach that point, they’ve been violently forced into organizing a reaction.

Unemployment and inflation are just the goals. The Fed uses an entire list of leading, trailing, and coincident indicators and surveys fed through multiple teams of economists to determine the state of the economy.

The news slices it all down to Unemployment rate and inflation because it takes a half hour to begin to explain all the indexes, and each Fed board members take on each one. And people have other shit to talk about on the news.

Maybe, I’d have to wonder how many of those treaties are still validly in effect. Especially since they were probably set up at the same time Germany was partitioned after the war, and now it’s not. So the entities in agreement might not exist. I’m pretty sure a treaty with East Germany is only worth it’s value as a historical document these days.

He wants to start a war he thinks he can win. He does know the consequence. That’s why security around Mara Lago is so much higher this time. It’s still a security nightmare, but they’re trying.
