    Did I say anything about WANTING the US to be liked? No. I simply said we aren't liked and now it includes our allies.

    So what do you think about Game 7 tonight? What do you think the Thunder are going to throw at Halliburton coming off that pick n roll on the weak side?

    I wouldn't have supported this regardless of who was president. And I don't think Kamala would have bombed Iran.

    The US can't and shouldn't try to control AIPAC. That's insane. The US should remove the ability of ANY entity to influence our politicians to do anything.

    We talk about all the bad things that have come out of Trump's presidencies that will take years to fix.

    I think the worst, and the one that gets the least attention, is that it's basically legal now for judge's to accept "gifts" for favorable decisions and for foreign entities to openly buy our legislators.

    How anyone thinks this is a good idea is beyond me. But, then, it's not that it's a good idea. They know why it's not. It's just that the people voting for it also coincidentally are the people getting paid when it passes.

    100% agree. As terrible as it was, the people should really be pissed at the Israeli government for letting it happen. They either knowingly let it happen or they were asleep on the job.

    Despite whatever intelligence failures, after October 7 the world's sympathy was with Israel, as it was with US after 9/11. And like the US, Israel squandered that goodwill with assault on Gaza and the slaughter of civilians including children. Putting hostages in greater danger.

    Nope. Can still claim law of return. But like I said, my Hebrew vocabulary is about three words.

    That feels like a glorified "why are you hitting yourself? "

    This whole thing was so unnecessary.

    It basically comes back to our president having the maturity of a 2-year-old. He was hurt that Obama roasted him at a press corps dinner and is using the country and the presidency to settle the score ever since.

    Unless everyone was duped, the Iran nuclear deal had worked. Trump got rid of it for no reason other than a petty grudge. One thing leads to another. Bibi plays his ego like a fiddle. Trump bombs Iran.

    Trump will almost certainly never feel any effects from the consequences of his actions. He has no empathy with his country people. A lot of Americans, though, might have their lives changed by this. They might lose a friend or family member in a suicide attack. Maybe we bolster our troop levels abroad and someone we know is shipped halfway across the world to protect our bases in places like Oman. Maybe the Iranians have some success bottling up the Straits of Hormuz and gas prices rise here and some single mother finds food insecurity a little bit of a bigger problem than it was yesterday.

    All because we elected a guy who couldn't take a joke because the myth that adult men were playing girls' sports worried us more than this guy screwing up again just like he did the first time we elected him.

    Can’t wait for the MAGA idiots to blame Biden for gas prices.
