Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Geez, who would have guessed that Democratic legislation promoting Green would not be an environmental reference, but would actually be a reference to the cash being dumped into the trough for the grifting pigs 🐖 to slurp up at their convenience. Sure looks like that spigot is being turned off by DOGE, in which case the Democratic grifters will have to seek out another scam or, horror of horrors, get a real job!

Steponbugs's avatar

On paper, you’re right…but how many of the grifters actually have skills that translate to the real world? Methinks there will be a noticeable bump in unemployment statistics by Q4 2025. Bummer.

JohnAZ's avatar

Market is becoming bi-polar, tech jobs and “flipping burgers”. As the tech jobs become more intricate and AI takes away human jobs (forget learning to code) less people are needed. The Dems used the grift noted to put people into bullshit jobs, and DOGE is quickly finding them and eliminating them. A word of warning to the Trumpers, you better come up with a plan to re-hire them into meaningful jobs. Obama wanted a service economy and the Dems kept the public quiet by giving minimum wage scales…

Generally when a country is drowning in economic stagnation and political angst, the answer is always a good war.

Ben's avatar

Yes, we are on that course you can see it building.

Target Iran or North Korea or even both.

It won't be China or Russia not, yet they are down the road we need to get some more drone weapons systems online.

Just head on over to MSN and look at all the war footing preparation.

Phil Denter's avatar

Yes! More war! Bomb the shit out of women and children half a world away!

Ben's avatar

Look at that Phil got a like.

Good for you some idiot clicked your likey button glow in the dopemine hit.

Hey Phil in order for a war to happen the other side needs to give cause.

Manufactured cause could happen, but many people have finally caught onto those kinds of dirty tricks.

Iran has also directly engaged in bombing the shit out of women and Children twice now but again this clod ignores this simple fact.

Never mind technology rendered their attack toothless they tried and their best effort w…

Yes, they fight back, sometimes effectively. As when they crushed the Israeli invasion of Lebanon a generation ago. What's happening this time? There's a news blackout, so I imagine the Israeli invasion has stalled out.

In Iraq, Iranian missiles destroyed various nests of anti-Iranian terrorists.

Ben's avatar

Lugh are you stupid enough to believe Iran is the good guy in all this?

There are no good guys engaged in the Middle East right now everyone over there is doing something bad.

Lugh's avatar

At last you admit Israel is committing atrocities?

Ben's avatar

Nope they are fighting a war which includes killing people even sometimes people that should not have died but that is the problem with fighting wars good people die along with the badies.

That is how wars are fought or are you just stupid?

To my knowledge Israelis are not kidnapping and then strangling babies.

Nor are they having parties while returning dead babies.

"To my knowledge Israelis are not kidnapping and then strangling babies." ~ Ben

Israelis don't have to if they're bombing and shooting them.

"Nor are they having parties while returning dead babies." ~ Ben

Israel's 'party' is in their apparently much higher baby-kill ratio and big bags of chips on the tax-pimped dime from Uncle Sam.

See what I mean? It's in that style of Israel-Palestine tit-for-tat without end.

Ben's avatar

Hey smart guy.

Name a country in the middle east not carved out with little regard for the crazy tribal morons that live there.

Hint look for the straight lines.

I will wait.

Jews are as middle eastern as anything living there today including the Egyptians, Syrians and Jordanians that now call themselves Palestinians as fake and made up a group of people as any other group calling the ME home.

We got another Hamas lover in the group, do we?

~ USAided Israel ~

Just a reminder, Ben, that I'm an anarchist. I can't stress that enough.

So the State, such as the State of Israel, is illegitimate-- right off the bat. So any argument for it is pretty much irrelevant. And let's not conflate it with any more 'Israels' than we need to.

If you/we want Israel to be another kind of Israel, a Stateless one, an organic/grassroots, historically-/religiously-appropriate one, say, and something that's not crutched-- 'USAided'-- by coerced tax hostages o…

Another long-winded diatribe full of opinion.

Same thing according to your own ridiculous narrative your country was founded on conquering, murdering, rounding up and putting the indigenous people into concentration camps which I might add continues to this day.

What a shame you can't apply the same opinion to your own situation which of course makes you an utter hypocrite.

The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls concluded in its 2019 final report that the Canadia…

^^ "A straw man fallacy...

...is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be 'attacking a straw man'. " ~ Wikipedia

____

To echo my point in this subthread, if you keep using fallacies (etc.) to 'support' Israel, you aren't actually supporting Israel. ('With friends like you, who needs enemies?')

Ben's avatar

^^ stupid post which is spawned by the guy who has no real argument.

Dismissed for extreme stupidity.

Ben's avatar

Another delusional post from a guy that probably doesn't even wear boots.

Go back to sucking your thumb and dreaming of being someone that actually has a clue about anything.

Anarchist code word for clueless and Strange is another word for Queer.

Queer is your constant reference to my ass and your virtual boot.

This appears to be an ongoing fantasy queer bedfellow.

I suspect you have rainbows shooting out of your ass so leave me out of your depraved fantasies.

I've deleted two or three of my comments that I allowed to go beyond my specific points above. Let them serve with, and as exemplified by, your typical trollish garbage, as placeholders for what to avoid.

'Fool me once, shame on me.'

I'm a willing fool for some things, but not if it subverts what I wrote above.
