@tom_paine1737 @LJS527 Yes. I'm no military expert, but the idea we were going to stroll in there & dig up the enriched uranium from underground without Iran's cooperation seems like folly.

@Dougtwit23 @LJS527 Iran has a much bigger pop than Iraq did, and much less forgiving topography.
English
I genuinely feel like an asshole for supporting this war.
I thought we had a unique opportunity to stick it to the regime in Iran. They were weaker than ever, or so we thought, after Midnight Hammer, and then the protests, etc. But if taking out their top leadership didnt cause the regime to collapse, then clearly those of us who favored this were grossly mistaken about the regime's durability in the first place.

@constans Almost no one forgot Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan.

My prediction is that Americans won’t give a shit. In fact, it will be forgotten in 2 months unless it somehow turns into a scripted talking point from democrats that is repeated on every tv appearance they have

So can we all agree that if Trump hands Iran $25 billion for any deal, his presidency is effectively over? And he's officially a lame duck?
English
@LJS527 There were reasons previous Presidents didn't invade Iran, and it isn't because Trump is somehow braver & smarter. They were presented with the realities & potential outcomes & opted not to. We are now seeing why.

@MJudahBrave @_fat_ugly_rat_ @NYpachanga I didn't realize that either. I just thought it was odd to compare a couple of the most beautiful coastal areas in the world with an agricultural area.

@Dougtwit23 @_fat_ugly_rat_ @NYpachanga He doesn't realize that theres basically one road from Silicon Valley to the Salinas Valley and it bottlenecks and backs up from April thru October every weekend.
And good luck if you want to take 1, cause 17 is worse.
It's also damn near 100 miles from Greenfield to SJ.

I think Americans eat burgers
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
every single day 🍔
…I'm probably wrong, right?
Correct me in the replies.
I want the funniest misconception
you've heard from foreigners! 😂

@HausenKS NY and L.A. are great too, unless you're a moron that never leaves your mom's basement.

No wonder you think the United States is a shit hole you lived in Los Angeles.
That’s the crappy part about being in one of the largest countries in the world. Everybody looks at the United States and thinks everything is just like NYC and LA.
Newsflash for people visiting for the World Cup. The majority of the country is nothing like LA and NYC. Those are the parts of America that y’all hate and don’t worry, the rest of Americans hate those parts too.
Hope this helps. 😎

Maybe this is a hot take but as someone who lived in the US for 4 years before moving home to Norway, I think the US is a great country to visit, not to live in. You get all the benefits of how grand the experiences are in culture, weather, nature, food, sports etc but you don’t have to worry about healthcare, overpaid housing, taxes that fund wars instead of your well-being and a lacking infrastructure. I understand it’s a big country and I only lived in Los Angeles (which is worse than most other American cities) but you only need one small medical issue to realize how messed up the system is. Also Trump.

We get it, you don’t get men.
Stop being so intolerant, though.
Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s bad.

@CopeIsClutch @bearszn @JFowlerESPN This is bizarre logic. Only from someone that didn't watch him play could such foolishness spout.
English
@bearszn @JFowlerESPN He barely did more than Cam Ward did last year with A LOT more weapons offensively than Ward who shared the league lead in sacks and threw to the worst WR group in the NFL while somehow having a slightly better completion percentage than Williams as a rookie.
English
Caleb Williams is viewed as a Top 10 QB around the NFL, per @JFowlerESPN:
“Caleb Williams is looked at around the league as a Top 10 QB and one of the very best closers in the NFL….the key they’re working on in minicamp, OTAs and Training Camp is getting him to work inside the pocket to take the layups when they're there, the checkdowns, the easy completions….but with Caleb Williams right now…..he's the type of player that can make plays only Patrick Mahomes could make before him. He’s got that ceiling right now. So big things for the Bears in year three.”

@staymadloserlol @bearszn @JFowlerESPN He holds the NFL record for fewest interceptions in his first 1000 passes. Yet you cherry pick two games and think it's smart. 🤦♂️
English
@bearszn @JFowlerESPN Nigga threw more interceptions than tds in the playoffs 🤣 I’d rather have some backup qb in the league before him like Mac jones

@frogs4girls As someone that used to play baseball and can't draw worse shit, I identify with this!

guy at the bar saw me drawing and we got to talking and i asked him if he drew or painted and he said his art is playing baseball and i unironically love that. fuck yea dude. there is art in everything we do. go paint with your bat.

The White House was built to serve the American people.
Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.
The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.
They did not fight a revolution for this.

@Mayoisspicyy I used to argue with people that had this opinion. I was wrong.

Motherfuckers in America are so
racist they'd rather have a pedophile
in the White House than an
accomplished black person.

@IMAO_ Because to get unconditional surrender you need thousands of ground troops and massive casualties, neither of which Trump is willing to do.
English
I don’t know how you wipe out their leadership like that and then don’t go for an unconditional surrender.
English
@MikeNellis @bling_momma I accept the premise, but we all need to stop pretending Trump believes the things he says. He doesn't, they are calculated lies.
English
Trump believes Barack Obama was born in Kenya, so I doubt the administration is going to seriously denounce this stupid attack
David Marcus@BlueBoxDave
The fighter yelling “Michelle Obama is a man,” at an official White House event to honor America is utterly unacceptable and the administration should denounced it in no uncertain terms.
English
If you’re wondering why men backed Trump in far greater numbers than McCain or Romney, this is why.

This is the America I grew up loving: patriotic, free, unapologetic, and proudly masculine. 🇺🇸

If the White House had branded this as a pride event, the Left would be happy with the men in short shorts in the octagon.
