@arty_burton @JasonHu89221014 @johnkonrad Who tf is this "you" that funded and manufactured the Nazi military?

@JasonHu89221014 @johnkonrad Europe would not have needed to do it without "you" having funded and manufactured Nazi Germany's military in the first place!

Hey Christine, I can answer that. Dominating Iran would be a cakewalk. A few thousand casualties on our side vs. hundreds of thousands on theirs. Not turning it into Afghanistan is also easy. All it requires is our military leaders accepting those high casualty numbers. That’s how we won two world wars. Now before you get upset, know this: I’m not talking about war crimes. I am only talking about accepting a very high number of enemy combatant casualties along with an unfortunate but necessary number of civilians caught in the crossfire. That’s all we need. And high casualty numbers are not a war crime. Death and destruction are allowed under the Geneva Conventions. Just not certain types of death and destruction, like chemical weapons. But winning this way is not going to happen, Christiane, because moving enough tanks and artillery to do that requires a massive sealift operation, and I don’t see any massive cargo ships getting loaded. So yes, the military types are right. We absolutely, positively can dominate Iran. The problem is no politician has removed the handcuffs from our military (called ROEs, Rules of Engagement) since General MacArthur was fired by President Truman for explaining to him exactly what I’m explaining to you right now. Massive sealift of heavy bombs and Army munitions PLUS an order to put as many warheads on enemy foreheads as possible. Dead men do not fight back. Taliban using children as shields and ROEs that only let us kill them at certain times in certain specific situations with a preponderance of evidence… they do shoot back. I don’t see Trump doing that, fighting a traditional war with ROEs that allow us to kill huge numbers of IRGC. But I also don’t see him sending large numbers of boots inland with crazy restrictive ROEs either. The end is likely going to be Option C. What is Option C? I don’t know. Option C is classified.

@TheSageHitman33 Dude, going after Mr. Sowell just shows arrogance and ignorance of the topic. You can disagree (you'd usually be wrong) but don't be disrespectful.

False equivalence in BLACK FACE!

@blemmy @ryangerritsen "But they can't win a war" - Dark Canuck

@KeithKler @ryangerritsen Simply because the premise of the OP was to imply that the US is protecting Canada from some mysterious enemy. Nobody is attacking Canada. We are not warmongers. You then came up with a silly hypothetical about the US attacking Canada. It is a stupid suggestion.

One of the best visuals of the US vs Canada's military strength. I had no idea just how ill-equipped we really were. We should be incredibly thankful that they are our neighbors.

@blemmy @ryangerritsen Then why accuse my of BS hypotheticals? Are you writing your own posts? Do you even read them?

@KeithKler @ryangerritsen The OP implied military strength as a reason Canada should be thankful to be the US neighbour. It is a natural extension that wartime protection is the reason.

@blemmy @ryangerritsen You are the one who brought up a war, dude. It's literally your hypothetical. What a moron.

You're engaging in bullshit hypotheticals. There is no way congress would approve such an attack. Even Private Bone Spurs is not that crazy. There would be a revolt in the US, military would not follow illegal orders. Civil war would be a distinct possibility. Grow up and deal in reality.

@maziehirono We know sweetie. Time for your nap.

Donald Trump is not, never will be, and has never been a king. #NoKings

@blemmy @ryangerritsen What is your point? If the US attacked Canada, you say they wouldn't win, but what would Canada look like? Lots of fire power is actually quite a lot of good in the event of hostilities.

@ryangerritsen But they can't win a war. Lots of fire power is not much good if you end with a legacy that is Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.

Without googling, can you name a famous King?

@HumbleLiam777 @KeithKler @uscfan981 Brooks 2002 season is like the greatest of all time for a defensive player. He also never missed a game in his entire career as a fucking linebacker.

Who ya cutting?

Please someone who plans to vote for democrats tell me how you’re ok with these people. Do you not believe they will turn this country into something completely unrecognizable to you? Please help me understand.

Hello Senator Thune, At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP. Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept. You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to. You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to. You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to. Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats. Let's be precise about what you did: 1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer. 2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM. 3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding. The precedent you set: You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins. But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered: • Voice vote to avoid accountability • Empty chamber to avoid debate • Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny • Immediate recess to avoid questions You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one. What you've actually accomplished: Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded. Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded. And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning. The question you should answer: Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM? Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record? You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like. Here's my message: We saw it anyway. Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome. Own it.

@AriDrennen Wrong pic. That's a dude.

The female boxer in the picture was never even a little bit transgender. We are living through a mass psychosis.

The left wants to rule and the right wants to be left alone. The right suffers from failing to realize that you can only be left alone if the politicians who want to leave you alone rule. That is not always Republicans but it’s is NEVER Democrats And before you tell me “not good enough” I’m going to ask you whether or not you vote in all the primaries. Because if you don’t, you’re helping to ensure that you never get the kind of Republicans you want.

@theFaucist @sourpatchlyds @JohannTetzel6 The OP refers to 1 sane person (pretending to be crazy) and one crazy person (pretending to be sane, at least until they get set off).

@sourpatchlyds @JohannTetzel6 I don't see any pretending here. There is a crazy person and a sane person. Also, this is cathartic in the sense one might like to do this to idiots on the road.

When the person pretending to be crazy meets the person pretending to be sane:
