Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

The UK is his bitch. There is no win for a uk government. The cons/reform would go along with whatever and push another story to “ride” the turbulence.

Heads should roll and disbarments be handed out, but this is not an issue of bad rank and file.

They function as prosecutors essentially, so it is not that much of a leap to have them act for DoJ

Joe Rogan was a comedian?

I thought his shows were performance art.

They really do lean into the fascist aesthetic.

Do we have a galactically sized facepalm emoji ? The one we have is not dominating enough to bother to even use…

No-one really cares , least of all him. This is Bibi’s war (again).

“Mr. Trump has never consistently described his goals, and when he talks about them it is usually in a haze of brief, offhand comments. The president has given no speeches preparing the American public for a strike on a country of about 90 million people, and sought no approval from Congress. He has not explained why he has chosen this moment to confront Iran instead of, for example, North Korea, which in the years after Mr. Trump’s failed negotiations in the first term has expanded its nuclear arsenal to 60 or more warheads, by U.S. intelligence estimates, and is working to demonstrate they can reach the United States.”

Perfect summary of our politics

Trump announced an executive order that seems to be misusing a form of emergency powers. He has done so over a product (glyphosphate/round up) that is totally fine yet very “controversial” and so is massively opposed by a large portion of his coalition (the naturalistic fallacy people in MAHA) and by some of his most important allies (Kennedy). So I wanted to see what it was about and found that I cannot read the release, on an official .gov page, without signing up to a mailing list.

I can’t really go into anymore detail and no I most certainly do not have any grand information. I think its pretty well known I’m in the Air Force so you can guess what I’m doing here.

The information I saw that was wrong was specific to things I personally know about but you’re correct that as a whole it seems to be mostly correct and the errors are largely not very consequential.

President Shit for Brains. My only surprise here is that he was saying it to the ambassador and not doing some of Chin Ching Chinaman routine to the actual Vietnamese PM

It’s fascinating indeed how someone starts an argument over what ignorance is, only to provide a decent working example…

Orange man really angry. Just announced a 10% global tariff on top of existing tariifs - or something. ‘They’ve taken our cars and they manufacture them in Japan and Germany’. Sure, sure.

I don’t care if they (the Justices who ruled against him) don’t come to the State of the Union, they’re being influenced by real slime balls.
