Don't tell them people used to memorize songs and poetry...they'll go into shock.

Ok, how about South Korea in 1950? Was that a "decent war?"

A fatuous twit.

Nevertheless. It's a moving target that depends on turnout.

If you can't win, cheat.

Which is it? Trump changes his mind every couple hours.

Good, it's becoming more apparent every day.

Some people are.

He'd be more rational.

Yeah, ok.

Oil prices have risen considerably, so now Russia is making a ton more money to spend on its war on Ukraine from its oil sales.

Anyone who didn't vote in the Nov. '24 presidential and congressional elections better get right with the Lord or otherwise reflect deeply on their failure to vote.

So it's not ok for grown adults (?) the believe their parents or grandfathers fought in WWII to bring freedom and democracy to France, Belgium, Italy, The Netherlands, Germany, the Phillippines, and Japan to their oppressed populations.

They didn't have much of a navy or air force before this idiocy. They did and still do have an IRGC, however. We'll see how it's weathered this attack.

But Trumpism is loaded with incompetents.

So Hizballah is again blameless in all things.

The Save Act tanked mightily. The state of emergency gambit has already been shot down in court.

How many ICE agents are there? Not nearly enough to hang around every polling place where minorities vote.

There's that evidrnce thing...gets tricky quickly

Sleeper cells are hard to fund and maintain. Sure, there might be some, but once they're activated, they get noisy. We'll see.

You committed the cardinal error of letting him get under your skin. He's a dying man too.

He's buying shoes for White House staffers?

That's some weapons-grade hypocrisy there

Is it on a ceiling in a utility corridor?

The police should have. The armed forces have no arrest powers without narrow exceptional situations that requure a lot of legal prep. Trump wanted the military to arrest people but the courykts slapped him down.

09.03.2026 15:36 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes, but easier said than done.

Lots of oversight, 24/7.

Hizballah has long acted as Iran's proxy.

They're also adept at telling ridiculous lies.

And a terrible scar on our credulity
