The meme's duration seems infinite. Fucking legendary.

Anyone else reminded of the Syria debacle back in the day where the Media very briefly considered Trump the greatest president that ever lived because there was the mere hint of him plunging us back into the middle east, only for the crazy orange diamond to not mire us in another middle eastern quagmire and said media being left with the silliest case of blue balls?

Watching “affordable housing” be built in my extremely affluent hometown, and then seeing the population go from something like 90% white to maybe 70% white in just a few years made me EXTREMELY angry at the policies that forced it.
That affordable housing wasn’t wanted. The town fought it. The federal government MANDATED it.

The people who need affordable housing don’t fit in in rich white neighborhoods. They don’t belong there. People (white) moved there for a quiet peaceful town and (this is probably the most important part) good schools.

We don’t want Pedro and Tyrone and Laquiesha throwing punches at teachers and ripping weaves off. We don’t want “gangs” popping up in town.

But NOPE, sorry, you need some NIGGOS so we’re building affordable housing that they’ll get for free and that we’ll pay for! I got mad again writing this. Give me my hats
Some towns hang in by having strong policing. Sure, move to the nice town and have the government pay for your section 8. You're INCAPABLE of acting like a civilized person. You'll end up in a cage. Go back to where your behavior is accepted.

I do remember, but this time is starting to seem different, at least to me. I'd love to be proven wrong. I was 100% certain they were going to toss Rittenhouse in prison.
 
What happens if the US air strikes on Iran fail to destroy their nuclear infrastructure? At that point, it's either admit defeat and allow Iran to become a nuclear power, an utter humiliation; or muster the forces for the rest of the year and launch Iraqi Freedom 2.0, which ends the republican party in general.

Not a good set of results either way, and could have been avoided had the green light not been given to Tel Aviv in the first place.

To prevent this we should do nothing and let them become a nuclear power.

But seriously Tucker is acting like a retard and being way to aggressive. Truthfully neither of them performed well in your clip but only one of them has access to actual information about Irans secret programs/activities. Tucker acts like knowing the number of people living in Iran is the equivalent of knowing if they attempted to or were a participant in the assassination of the president. Cruze seems confused because while he's been grilled about population numbers while he's thinking, "does this guy not know about assassination attempt xyz? I thought we were going to talk about Irans nuclear enrichment?."

Tucker just comes off way over his head here. He's not and never will be a politician, nor hold any office. He's not some international ideolog who can broker peace in the Middle East/Russia. He's the ex-Fox equivalent of a late night tv host. He should have stuck to that format of show instead of trying to be a political expose type.
 
The shills for the war, are super organized.

If anything I'd guess this guy is counter-shilling the war, the hamfisted manipulation will only ensnare people so dumb as to be no use to the military. It looks more like an effort to inoculate the viewer against war propaganda that tries to insult the masculinity of the target.

You lie and say you destroyed it all anyway and declare a resounding victory. I suspect that although Iran does have nuclear aspirations they aren't nearly as close as we've been led to believe to get us this far so it won't be much of a lie. We wiped out a program that was exaggerated to begin with.

Yup, basically.

Remember all the seething about the Norks getting nukes and how unacceptable it was? Well guess what. They have them and nothing happened.

Besides: The director of national intelligence recently admitted that Iran currently isn’t trying for a nuke and is years away from one.

Maybe Trump should listen to his appointees?
 
Tucker is 1000% correct here, the fact is getting involved in a pointless conflict in the Middle East is a complete betrayal of what Trump ran on in terms of foreign policy, any MAGA figure who does a complete 180 on Iran is just blindly loyal to Trump only and doesn't actually care about policies, Trump is not immune from criticism and kowtowing to Neocon demands would be a fucking disgrace
The worst are the conservative personalities who are playing both sides of the issue. The ones that say, "I agree their should be no boots on the ground, but Iran should not get a nuclear weapon." Well if intelligence reveals that Iran is "weeks away" from having a nuke after air strikes and sanctions, what option is left?

He's already on record as saying he doesn't care what Gabbard and the DNI concluded, perhaps a hardball tactic to get Iran back to the negotiating table, until I saw this:

oh boy.webp

A PR campaign to sell an intervention in Iran.

I think they're kind of stating my position, which is, if the intel is correct and we're not being lied to (ha) I would support us actually going in, but as it stands, I don't want another war.
Basically I disagree with us going in but could be made to not disagree depending on how it turns out. It's taking a practical position rather than an ideological one.
I don't think I'm being clear, so something like this "I wouldn't invade if it were me, but I'm not opposed to having boots on the ground for ideological reasons, but for practical ones. If it turns out okay, I'm okay with it"
