One thing that is definitely different about loony left of the 1960s and 1970s is that back then, they had not made up anywhere near as many forms of "problematic" as now...
It wasn’t as influential. It was just there. What the Left was pushing was, aside from trannies (not really a thing yet), very similar to now. Most of those people were literal Maoists. But the public was far less tolerant/indulgent of them.
Until their rights reflect that they shouldn't be held accountable then it's a moot point. They do have equal rights and so they should have equal responsibility too. This is why they should be drafted into the military too, to be consistent.
I disagree (especially in a world where abortion is allowed up until the moment of birth), there's at most equal long-term damage.
Smacking doesn't work, it only leads to resentment. If your relationship is at the point that a woman needs to be smacked then it should accompany a breakup because it's pretty much unsalvageable anyway.
Can you imagine him winning it, coming out and giving a speech about how he earned it, not like the participation Nobel they gave Obama? I genuinely think they'd start trying to hunt him down in the street.
Eh, I feel like "neocon" is what a lot of people use to refer to foreign policy hawks. The term neocon specifically refers to GW Bush-era Republicans who believe in "spreading democracy" through military intervention. There are plenty of people who favor US military intervention when it suits our interests, such as myself, who have no retarded ideas about "spreading democracy" whether it's sincerely-held or not. People like me simply think that the US should use its military when it's in our interests. This isn't a new idea nor is it uniquely American.
How many liberals can we name who were in favor of being nice to Iran, only to find out they were Iranian agents all along? How many conservative pundits can we name who are pro-leaving-Iran-or-Russia-alone but take money from either country and its intermediaries?
Holy shit that was fast
Nobody is trustworthy. Allies don't exist. Mom and Dad aren't getting back together. Your money isn't real. Something is always happening.
He's a big guy.
You don't think all those solar farms in the Southwest are American-owned, do you? Oh, my sweet summer child...
That was one of the biggest things that stood out to me during Trump's first term, and he's continuing to do it in his second: You can just do things. Everything doesn't have to run through 15 committees and be focus grouped and the lobbyists consulted first. You can just get on a plane and go talk to people and cut deals using America's enormous leverage. Other politicians pretend to be really shitty at doing things so they can have plausible deniability, keep their gibs rolling in and never actually do anything, and it almost seems believable until someone like Trump reminds you that no, it's not actually hard when you are genuinely trying to make things better.
Trump wants a world at peace, not a world at War. He removed the 1979 sanctions. Regardless of his words, his actions alone prompted a response. He has earned respect.
Wtf dude, I didn’t even watch Johnny Bravo cause it was past my time
How do you think China managed to Trojan horse that shit in, you dunderhead?
They aren't practically useful in combat, though. We already have an Army organization fully optimized to consoom fodder in the event of a Great Power war, yet the idea of women being drafted is novel. Of course subjecting them to equal inconvenience based on the idea of equality is interesting, maybe they could best serve the state by having children. Lol. Giving them equal responsibility pushes society further in the wrong direction, which is fine if you want to watch its foundation buckle, but in practical lowbrow terms, we should should simply exchange their rights back for the dignity they traded in to get rights in the first place.
Most of the old Bushite neocons (or their fathers), the Kristols (Irving), the Podhoertzes (Norman), etc., were old Democrats of the Henry "Scoop" Jackson variety -- socially liberal, anti-communist, interventionist, learned to love tax cuts, and so forth. After the end of the Cold War, the interventionist impulses birthed the Project for the New American Century, and off the 20-aughts went, alas.
I'd say treat it the same as a service or wire fee paid at the time of the transfer. If people want to send money abroad, fine, but there should be a convenience fee associated with it just like many other financial transactions.
I feel the impeachment move by Thanadar was little more than an effort to score points with his constituents and the party at large for doing something - even if just symbolic and pointless - to further the whole "Trump Bad!" mantra.
His seat was held by a black person for quite some time and many constituents and party rivals are absolutely pissed that he took that seat away from a black politician and voters. The voting base in that area is so blue a dead fish would win easily if it appeared on the ballot with a (D) beside it. It's also why Thanedar had a shoo-in victory when his Democratic primary opponents either failed to get enough signatures or ended up disqualified from the ballot. There's already opposition lining up against him for the midterms because enough people want a black person back in that seat desperately.
There is plenty to criticize Trump about in terms of what he has or hasn't accomplished so far. Yet, they've double, triple, quadruple, and quintupled down on the name calling even though it just isn't as effective any more.
In her mind, she probably feels she did the right thing keeping a wanted illegal out of the hands of ICE. As others have stated, this is ironic since this is the same group whose talking points include, "Nobody is above the law," and demands accountability when people in the legal system do wrong.
Even people who dislike Trump or don't think highly of RFK have agreed that RFK's take on banning those artificial coloring and his desire to get people healthier are good things without regard to partisan politics.
As am I. The fact Iran is even willing to sit down at the table is a good first step. Time will tell if this results in any sort of deal.
What would you classify the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s as?
It’s just IN the shit we buy from them. They don’t own our ports, yet port gantry cranes had the same shit.
