Fair enough.
January 27, 2026 at 15:06
In fairness, not a Trump supporter. But curiously goes far easier on him and his policies than a Biden or Obama. :chin:
January 27, 2026 at 15:06
True — unless one is from the US. It matters a little more to me what happens to my friends and neighbors. Mea culpa if that’s “domestic politics.” Ea...
January 27, 2026 at 15:04
:scream: Thankfully we all have objective observers like you and Risible Guy to set us straight. Ok! Don’t let me interrupt your charade.
January 27, 2026 at 13:32
Perfectly calm. But thank you. Because it’s true. For the record, what I’m pointing out here — and reacting to — is the utter hypocrisy of those on th...
January 27, 2026 at 12:54
I’m not. Better not to put any effort into trolls— although your exhaustive explanations are appreciated, if even an exercise in futility. Ignorance e...
January 27, 2026 at 02:10
Agreed. It’s actually far worse than what we’re hearing. It’s also deeply unpopular. But something something Obama, so it’s all good.
January 27, 2026 at 01:17
:rofl: Fair and balanced, as always.
January 27, 2026 at 01:13
Translation: a bunch of bullshit that combines bothsideism with blaming the protesters. Just watch Fox News and you’ll get the point.
January 26, 2026 at 19:57
It’s really stupid, is what it is. Because Trump is 80, and he’s deeply unpopular. They’ll get wiped out in the midterms, beyond a doubt, and then Tru...
January 26, 2026 at 11:11
Guess just carrying a gun legally is enough to get you shot 10 times. Look forward to applying those standards in the future. What goes around comes a...

January 25, 2026 at 23:29
Indeed. But at least that would stick it to the libs.
January 25, 2026 at 20:49
They would have made great Nazi sympathizers.
January 25, 2026 at 19:43
New rule: The penalty for protesting wrong is death. Until a democrat is in office.
January 25, 2026 at 19:34
Let me help you: just picture it’s a bunch of January 6th patriots. There— problem solved.
January 25, 2026 at 19:32
These principles apply everywhere. All the Palestinians killed were terrorists — or did all the right things to get unjustly shot. But I’m definitely ...
January 25, 2026 at 19:27
Yeah, like walking around. Not to mention being held down by 4 guys. That definitely deserves being shot 10 times, unarmed.
January 25, 2026 at 19:22
:rofl: The Trump bootlicker strikes again with another honest and consistent take. One says he deserved it, the other says he wanted it. This is what ...
January 25, 2026 at 19:05
Right — it’s everyone else’s emotions. Coming in and saying something stupid, then pretending it’s somehow an obvious point, is pretty childish. We ge...
January 25, 2026 at 18:37
Nothing to see here! Just a goon squad murdering protesters. Now about January 6th being a tour and Ashli Babbitt being a martyr…. https://i.postimg.c...
January 25, 2026 at 18:16
So Ashli Babbitt had it coming too, just like this guy. And the mother. Right? How cavalier we are when it’s not someone on our team. Republicans real...
January 25, 2026 at 16:00
Oh, okay. Cool. Fair and balanced take. But you’re right — actions do have consequences. So murdering someone for resisting arrest, when there was no ...
January 25, 2026 at 15:57
What a shocker. Yeah, except you really are.
January 25, 2026 at 15:49
Looks that way so far. I look forward to Trump supporters spinning this, or simply cheering on executions for resistance. “If they just complied, they...
January 24, 2026 at 23:37
This scene encapsulates Trump’s negotiation skills: https://youtu.be/34MdFOHlQKY?si=1rj9rSzN9DSj53jR Keep in mind: the original agreement was 25%. Lot...
January 23, 2026 at 15:47
Indeed. Good point. Yes. But the bullshit pretext would be easy to see, given it’s Iran. But if Trump says Good was a domestic terrorist hellbent on r...
January 22, 2026 at 13:32
So add to this being “incapable of interpreting the video the same way as I do.” You’re of course exactly right, and it’s obvious from the video. But ...
January 22, 2026 at 05:12
There’s is no doubt that he was pissed off and looking for a reason to shoot. Standing in the way of a car gives the perfect pretext to do so— “she wa...
January 22, 2026 at 03:46
Excellent synopsis — so of course you either (1) misunderstood, (2) are approaching in bad faith, (3) are being emotional, or (4) have an unseen liber...
January 22, 2026 at 03:36
So once again Trump backs away from a stupid idea and solves the problem he created. What achievements! I’m loving buying the dips in stocks though. K...
January 22, 2026 at 01:44
That’s a cool narrative. Totally wrong, but cool. Carry on.
January 22, 2026 at 00:54
Honestly, anyone who claims the officer who killed Good was within his bounds are either emotional or playing the partisan game. He could have merely ...
January 21, 2026 at 22:55
Someone’s been watching Fox News. Nevermind— I meant to say that this description is fair and balanced, and not at all succumbing to hysteria and prop...
January 21, 2026 at 22:38
I think it means preserving its sovereignty. But maybe this is a discussion for another thread — my initial point was only to point out the framework ...
January 21, 2026 at 17:06
Yes, so what? And spending has more than kept up with inflation, as I mentioned above. The United States spending on military is outrageous. The fact ...
January 21, 2026 at 17:03
That’s true. But the government has more than adjusted for inflation. Much more than your average worker. Seems like yesterday I was talking about the...
January 21, 2026 at 16:18
Primarily concerned with security — which makes sense. I don’t completely agree with realism either, but I’d suggest reading further on it. It’s not a...
January 21, 2026 at 16:15
$850 billion is the highest it’s ever been. It’s only gone up. It’s a ridiculous sum of money. Given our GDP, it should be 1 or 2%, which would still ...
January 21, 2026 at 15:11
It’s a realist perspective. Those that are in government are mostly motivated by security and power concerns, as overarching long-term goals. That see...
January 20, 2026 at 16:42
The degenerate idiot in office just lost 3 court cases on offshoot wind. But that was never the point I guess.
January 20, 2026 at 01:48
“Believe”? Nice quip though. Meaningless, but nice.
January 18, 2026 at 17:14
So domestic policy, and actual details, you don’t take seriously. This way you can keep making bullshit generalizations. Well done. Next time I’m conf...
January 18, 2026 at 15:31
No they weren’t. False equivalence, as usual. What policies? In some cases, that’s true— and true of both parties. In others, it’s true about the Repu...
January 18, 2026 at 14:03
I’ve been impressed by how diligently, relentlessly, and enthusiastically Trump has tried to murder millions of people and destroy the prospects of a ...
January 17, 2026 at 21:50
At what point do we stop saying “happy new year”? Mine are starting to wane.
January 13, 2026 at 22:49
I missed that entire exchange a while back, but agreed. Embarrassing. I was thinking about doing a thread about this, and it’s a good example: “if any...
January 13, 2026 at 22:20
Truth in Heidegger is aletheia, unconcealedness. This relates to absence, what’s overlooked. Another concept of what dasein is, is a “clearing,” like ...
January 13, 2026 at 03:09
Good to know — I’ve never seen it. Could be one reason why I liked DWW so much. Reminds me of people who love the Magnificent Seven and never watched ...
January 12, 2026 at 14:29
I’m not sure Trump has a direction.
