Darling. We’ve been posting together for nigh on 20 years.
When Bush was in office I criticized him as a warmongering sociopathic neocon mass-murderer. When Obama was in office I criticized him for being Bush. Trump, being rather different, had different criticisms which I did make. Now we're back to Bush-Obama-Biden-"kill them all" foreign policy.
So you criticise what Republicans did two decades ago, but nothing since. Totally checks out. Both sides and all that.
Amigo, I've also been posting on this forum for about 22 years (was under a different name for a while). I don't remember you condemning Bush much. Not that I would super pay attention to that. But I do remember thinking it seemed ironic to me that you were so harsh on Obama. I don't remember you smacking down Bush much. I remember remarking that Bush was so much worse. But getting pushback from you. Your hatred of Obama just seemed out of whack. You claim that you are anti-war (hence you don't like the dems? ooookay). But I never hear you criticizing Russia. I've never heard you talk about expansionist China. There are a few posters on this forum who are against all military actions of any kind. I respect that. I apologize if I'm misrepresenting your position.
Just about exactly 3 years ago, I was working a shit job at a grocery store gas station. It wasn't much, but it was a job...something that a lot of people lost during the pandemic. One of my co-workers was Kelly. Like me, she'd lost a good paying job and was stuck closing down a gas station a few nights a week. She'd lost pretty much everything, and didn't even have a car, so I'd give her a ride home when needed. She was a tough bitch. Her daughter worked at the main store for a bit, and I'd met her a few times, but she was a "troubled youth" and didn't stay there very long. Then one day, Kelly didn't show up for work and I had to close the store myself. Her daughter had gone missing. Something about a boyfriend and moving to Texas, and then...nothing. A few days later Kelly showed up for a minute, and the tough bitch I knew looked utterly broken. Her daughter's body had been found in Texas...dead from a fentanyl overdose. She was 21.
It doesn’t matter, as a matter of law, how popular with the electorate an impeachment proceeding is. If a government official has committed an impeachable offense, and Congress has the will and evidence to back charges, to do so, that person should be impeached—assuming the law is just. Being held accountable is not the same thing as a popularity contest.
Here's the irony here: you claim to be anti-war. However, if the US government buried its head in the sand as you advocate, the world would be in much much greater conflict and war than today. You're okay with China and Russia invading only their immediate neighbors? Which ones are you okay with? I assume Taiwan and Ukraine are to be absorbed and its people thrown in gulags in your world view. How about the rest of Eastern Europe? And then what do you think the rest of Europe and Japan and South Korea would do in the US vacuum? They would dramatically rearm, add nukes and every other form of warfare that they could develop to stop the invaders. But you think you would be safe in your bubble of American isolation that you advocate? Doubtful. Clearly the rest of the world would be in chaos and conflict. You'd really want that?
No, but they’re very SIMPLE and easy to understand.
Has Jason ever offered who he DID vote for?
My friend, that does not stop the nonsense - you simply stop witnessing it.
Mine too. I remember Harry Bosch's posts back then being a bit more conservative (maybe moderate and I was more liberal). I don't remember you being "anti-war".
I'd go with ridiculous rather than harsh. The whole comparing Syria, Libya, other military matters and comparing it to the guy who mobilized near 200,000 troops to invade Iraq seems (10,000 or so seriously maimed or killed US troops), well, oversimplified to the point of being ridiculous!
Indeed, the issue, however, is you historical nature to equate any military power as "war". Democrat Presidents meddle, definitely. But the term "war" is used by you in such a way, hippies would probably accuse you of hyperbole. The appropriate term would probably be "military force", but you want to rag on government from your pedestal.
Por que no los dos?
IMO there must be some incentive, to get someone to go make a fool of themself trying to sell utterly transparent lies to complete strangers, for years on end.
You know, it's not unheard of for a heroin dealer to also use heroin.
Do they though? My impression was that junkie dealers were mostly on the revolving door plan.
