While they’re at it, fire teachers and underpay the ones you have left! You don’t need to learn from quality educators! And the teaching staff will need no support, so we can fire the administrators and facilities teams!
I’m not going to pretend that higher education isn’t a scam for a lot of things but states should fund public institutions better so that tuition doesn’t go up instead of making it harder for schools to afford educating.
Or is the insanity the selling point
Yes, why would you vote for a politician who is just going to line their pockets when you can vote for a lunatic that says it’s okay to say slurs who is just going to line his pockets? I mean, what’s life if you can’t say slurs to people? Other people in my trailer park need to know they’re lesser than me and Nancy Pelosi stock trades gender fluids transmission imported beef participation trophies nobody legal wants to work and all the illegals are not working and taking all the jobs and welfare for $9 lattes avocado toast. I will either hang myself from my F350s lifted trailer hitch or vote for Trump. What’s it going to be, liberal?
Honestly, it’s a job that comes with an implicit “you are worth less than our objectives and your life will be risked if we deem it.” No OSHA, no safety regulations (well, militaries have their own regulations…) Get in the barely tested hardware and determine if it’ll protect you from a bomb. Also, if you disagree, we’ll put you in jail or jack up your life.
That said, countries need armies. Where would Ukraine be if they decided to disarm for security agreements that were then quickly violated? And what if that foe was actually competent?
But, like, post-Vietnam, Americans should’ve realized they weren’t the good guys. It’s a shame new people keep getting born and don’t realize the whole history of their country…
More to say, if I agree to the recording at the beginning and then a few minutes into the call change my mind, that’s allowed.
I can’t really wait until an hour after the call, realize I shouldn’t have over shared and ring you to say that you can’t record our call.
Anywhere can be a war zone if you wage war on it.
You’re not wrong, I was just being glib though.
I prefer my war crimes when they’re limited to war zones and not entirely randomly across the globe.
That’s not a license, it’s a Common Access Card.
Well, they were trying to bang his wife. So that’s a party foul, bare minimum.
“Difficulty: Easy to Moderate”
But also you might get eaten.
I’d much rather they were all shoe salesmen instead of running the Pentagon.
It feels weird that I know direct relations of two high profile artists that… Seemingly everyone hates. I must be hanging out with a lame crowd.
It’s Boosie, said like “Boo-zee”
Hey, be the change you want to see in the world. The odds are near zero but they’re not zero.
If you don’t give us the ballot, expect the bayonet.
Sounds like they’re already expecting the bayonet, so the ballot must be already fixed.
They learned how to get McDonald’s AI to do their work for them.
The US (and international coalition) very openly arms the Kurds in Northern Iraq, and through the SDF (YPG and YPJ are DTOs so they can’t technically send to them) in Syria while Turkey shells the aid workers responding to earthquakes. To assume they stop arming the Kurds at the border implies Iran has excellent border security.
An armed Kurdish population gives Turkey something to play strongman against. They know it’s happening.
Never been to prison, huh?
State department can’t always evacuate everyone. Can’t spend the big bucks doing an extraction on every American because one building got hit. When the region was getting hot in 2021, state department had like five five-seater jump planes in the area to do everything.
Now you’ve got hundreds of people getting squirrelly and demanding a flight now when the airspace is not looking great.
Okay, rephrasing it then “What are Americans doing in near proximity to a place that has been a war zone for more than 20 years due to US intervention in the region?” and the answer is “Either profiting off of US oil interests or propping up the tourism industry of US interested parties.”
My dad once said “I know they said drugs would rot your brain but I didn’t realize that’d turn so many hippies into Republicans.”
People generally become more risk averse when they get older. Risk averse doesn’t line up with modern “conservatism” when they’re off starting another war every day. Saying “People get more conservative” lines up more with the Pinchot school of thought than the 2026 definition but works great as propaganda to say “You’re getting older, shouldn’t you be giving up those things like caring about your fellow man?”
