yes i am very smart and level headed by being in the center

 

Missed this earlier this week, wish more Dem pundits would berate Dems for this shit

 

Also the idea that "the cartels have no idea what it's like fighting American special operators!"

The Zeta cartel leaders were originally Mexican military who were trained by US Special Forces. I think they have an idea.

 

Love Stavvy

 

Also getting rid of the cartels won't do jack shit for the opioid crisis

 

I’ve been saying this on this website and it’s predecessor for over 10 years and you’ve always argued with me!
Also this and John’s coverage of the whole “woke” narrative have been good. Not his biggest fan but credit where it’s due when everyone else is in the media is just capitulating to conservative narratives

 

consider me completely ignorant when it comes to the UN, but . . . is this how it works? 14 for and 1 against and the resolution doesn't pass? Does it have to be unanimous or is the US just that big of a bully?

my gut says: yes

 

I think any of the five permanent members, of which the US is one, has veto power.

 

This is something that I can't stop thinking about too - like I think if UN votes were covered in the media in any real sense where they make it to the mainstream people would be SHOCKED at how bad the U.S. looks all the time haha

I still think about the votes for the Cuba embargo and 'should food be a human right' all the time

 

like look at this shit lol

 

Ok, “wow this is going to be the most diverse group of congresspeople to get all of their legislation blocked” made me laugh really hard lol

 

Because of something Felix brought up on Chapo I can't believe I am just now learning the background of Tulsi Gabbard that she grew up in basically a cult that was a conservative far right offshoot of Hare Khrishnas that preaches against homosexuality and Islam.

Her dad is a state senator in Hawaii who also has a history of party switching based on his own political goals.

 

us has veto power

 

Holy fuck theo Von is fucking dumb. “Do you really think the rich want far right people in office?”

“yeah Elon is a big trump guy”

“oh true”

brain of a sack of rocks.

 

Yeah I have listened to him when he did an interview with Bernie and few others and I always come to this conclusion that good lord the education system has completely failed him. Then I found out he is from country ass Louisiana and it made perfect sense.

Sometimes I wonder how much of it is schtick and how much of it is real though because I feel like he plays into it.

 

I think democrats should continue to be vocal about how much disdain they have for leftists and their ideals and worldview, I think it’s going to work out spectacularly for them :)

 

Like I said I can’t believe he’s made it to the age of 44 without accidentally burning his house down or walking into traffic without looking both ways

 

I’ve been saying this for a year

 

I was on the tail end of this in the mid 90s and there were summer/weekend days of hanging outside with friends with no supervision but year for decades parents let their kids roam free (at least here in the suburbs). But back then we didn't have a list of registered sex offenders living in our neighborhood at our digital disposal so parents were clueless if they were living near a predator. People romanticize their childhood but it's usually from the lucky ones who never endured a traumatic experience.

 

What the fuck
