Never get involved in a land war in Asia
WASHINGTON—With the United States facing a daunting array of problems, leading historians reminded the nation that when making tough choices, it never hurts to stop, take a look at similar situations from the past, and then think about whether the decisions people made back then were good or bad.

“It’s very unfair for Iran to raise our gas prices. We only bombed them a little. China needs to step up and tell Iran to back down or I will be forced to impose a billion percent increase on their tariffs.”

They’re terrified of the people realizing their power. They’re terrified of anyone who actually wants to disrupt the status quo for anything besides profit.

📢 DON’T RANK CUOMO! 📢
The entire establishment from both sides is aiming all of its money and firepower against Zohran Mamdani. Very telling. This is what they're threatened by and who they are willing to crush.

California’s #1 import is oil, much of it from Iraq. To get it, ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz, controlled by Iran.

California is the 4th largest economy in the world and pays $90 billion more in federal taxes than it gets back, to subsidize red states.

Have a nice day

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Re: Lord of the Flies

Piggy, objectively correct and genuine in his beliefs, holds the conch mid-fight as a symbol of the democracy he has tried to help maintain; the boulder that crushes it and kills him is unaware of how right he is, and the side who released the rock could not care less

So, if the nuclear powers keep reinforcing the lesson that national sovereignty won't be respected unless you're a nuclear power, hows that going to work out exactly?

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

I heard a podcaster say they wouldn’t stoop to this level, which I guess is personal attacks on Stephen Miller?

Anyone who isn’t prepared to fight them at this level, doesn’t understand the battle plan.

My campaign office unfortunately has to hire security as an individual is regularly vandalizing it.

This is in addition to a Republican calling our office the “Home of Hezbollah”.

Security is an unplanned expense but we want this to be a safe place. If you’re able, help us offset the costs below ⬇️

I'm not sure how the phrase "gender-affirming care" was supposed to help us in a society that doesn't consider water or food to be a human right.
