There are no good billionaires.

UGGGGHHHH, please let it not happen.

It’s so weird to see an MTG post and… yeah… I’m over here like: LFG.

Thank you for the discussion.

It’s fascinating to watch you and others engage with people who you know disagree with you in this way, especially after two weeks ago.

Oh yeah, how are the people in those two countries doing now?

I could not care less. I’m more concerned with how people are doing here in the US.

Yeah, it was pretty much guaranteed after the pull out from the nuclear deal…almost like elections have consequences.

I’m sure feeding WMD’s to the Israelis for use against Iran won’t be problematic for that.

Lol, it’s a two party system. If you voted green you still lent your support to supporting a genocide

False. The Greens are the only party expressly opposed to helping Israel murder people at will, but you can create whatever justification you like for the support you lend to it.

No, I’m referring to getting us out of Afghanistan and Syria specifically.

But you’ve noted, surely, that the US does largely support war with Iran by funneling WMD’s to Israel, right? Unless you voted Green, you explicitly lent your support to it via your ballot.

Lol, my dude… You do remember he also ended the nuclear agreement with Iran and then assassinated their most idolized military commander?

I recall, yes.

It feels very odd to watch an American president do correct things for the wrong reasons. It’s much more familiar to watch people like Bush, Obama, and Biden doing the wrong things for reasons that aren’t provided to the public, because the narratives given around US wars are nearly always false.

LOL, that was my first thought as well.

I think he’s delivering on his promises to the MIC to maximize the money they invested in him before Trump enters office. If he gets us wrapped up in a conflict that requires deployment of US troops, so much the better for the stockholders depending on the Federal Government to get us as involved as possible.

Trump, while he did it for the wrong reasons, did pull the US military out of foreign wars during his first term. I imagine Raytheon and Boeing and Lockheed definitely do not want that.

Solid points all around.

Further, even if it would be largely ineffectual (which it won’t), we should make it inconvenient for billionaires to dodge taxes, just as some states make it inconvenient to obtain guns.

I’m getting stuffed animal versions made of my pets before they pass so I have something to snuggle when I reminisce about them one day.

Obviously not. Remember when significant percentages of people in the primaries voted ‘unaffiliated’ or ‘undecided’ with the express purpose of communicating to the administration that they wanted the weapons shipments to stop?

Biden/Harris ignored them.

It’s one thing to refuse to change policy. It’s another to refuse to change policy, support the bombing of kids, AND tell the voters to go fuck themselves.

Ah, well, I find it weird that this doesn’t seem to bother you, so I guess it all cancels out in the end.

Probably easier to say when have we not voted for this? Israel’s been systematically terrorizing the Palestinians since what, the 40’s?

When both parties enthusiastically support a war of genocide, it’s fair to say they’re the same, yes.

*Squatters

Or terrorists.

Both work in this case, but “settlers” is way too sanitary a term for what’s happening here.

This is what you voted for, America.

they stop people from following the order in the Quoran which states that people should educate themselves.

That’s the beauty of the major world religions. When you have power in your hands you can pick and choose what you want to honor and make it public policy, and there’s nothing the plebs can do about it.

Not all religion is bullshit, but there is a lot of crossover between religious teachings and bullshit. That’s why they invented the word ‘faith’, because they are self-aware of the incredulousness of it all.

Like the utter bullshit in this article, as if 7th Century teachings have anything to say about VPN’s.

Respectfully, you think I’m denigrating Islam because it’s different from what I believe?

No.

I’m simply pointing out what, to anyone who wasn’t raised in it, is obvious stupidity.
