    Americans… The people who go to work every day and get paid shit for their work…enough to not complain too much but not enough to get a head. The people who get fixed incomed at 64 and then inflationed until the bank gets the house back. These people did not bomb Iran.

    Orange turd and his team of evil fucks did.

    Now, I’m actually neutral on this particular action. Nobody wants Iran with nukes. However please then do the same in NK and ruzzia.

    If any of this does backfire, I just want you all to know that we just woke up to this shit just like everyone else. Just like when the orange turd invaded LA. We just woke up to this shit. Is it gonna be over in 3.5 more years?..god I so fucking hope so. The guy in coocoo unstable. Just like Kim and Putin, he should go to a retirement home and leave the rest of us alone.

    I am wondering when Americans are finally going to come to the inevitable conclusion that conservatives have to be utterly destroyed by any means necessary in the most extreme prejudicial manner possible. These people are absolute pure f****** evil.

      First we need to endlessly debate whether or not Kamala Harris would’ve done the same thing. Since we can never know we can all just assume posting shitty memes is more important than voting. We’ll tell each other it’s late stage capitalism so we can feel smart for doing nothing because it’s all going to collapse anyway, nothing we can do! Committed to being uncommitted! Apathy to the end!

      The people who vote conservative will probably never come to that conclusion.

      We have to let the older generations die off until there isn’t enough support or physically stop them from voting to stop the conservative support.

      Maybe starting a third party that genuinely wants to disrupt the status quo would fix some stuff.

        3rd party…yes! Possible, not really. The two parties have a spot on the ballot, built in, automatically given. All others have to jump through each state’s requirements to get on the state ballot. The most effective at this lately is the libertarian party. In the election before last, Jo Jorgenson was on the ballot in all 50, GO JO! Sadly, her media coverage was paltry at best. Most Americans didn’t even know she was a realistic option. Finally, most Americans think that a vote for a 3rd party increases the chance of their less desirable major party winning. What they fail to realize is that, red or blue, the boot on your neck is the same boot, different shine.

        Lets get something REAALLY FUGHIN STRAIGHT:

        Conservatism DOES NOT DIE OFF.

        AAAALLLLLL of the radical fascist right wing Nazi pundits and influencers are Millennials and younger, with a few GenXers scattered about.

        Everyone SWORE that conservatism would die off with the Boomers, but that was 15 years ago. Its not gonna happen.

          Here’s the thing, Brohard: every time someone says we should do something they’re ALWAYS met with those kinds of shit comments from cattle car fodder such as yourself. “You first!!” is not the fucking flex you think it is, and only shows that YOU are the coward armchair warrior.

            “all these people (not me) need to go do something about it!”
            “which includes you”
            " stop projecting"

    What’s super weird is that it resembles the war in Iraq but dumber.

    After 9/11 Americans were out for blood, for revenge.

    This time they were out for blood, democrat blood. Revenge for… being told to stay inside.

    I guess every 20 years they realize they hate each other so they outsource the violence?

    America is truly that neighbour which has constant domestic drama that the rest of the neighbourhood has to put up with constantly cause they are too nice to shun said neighbour.

    I hate that 2/3 of my fellow citizens support this, either directly or or tacitly by choosing not to vote.

    I really hope the protest/non voters are happy with the outcome they chose. I can’t wait to hear them tell me that Harris would have done this too! Anything to justify intentionally causing the suffering of more people…

          It’s literally the least you can do, less than literally anything else, and doing the least possible is not good enough.

          You don’t get to wash your hands because you voted for Kodos. Has Harris even come out against bombing Iran?

            That’s not ‘the least you can do’ by any means, but good try at a lazy gotcha to someone who has been tear gassed at these kinds of protests for years.

            Yes, voting is the least you can do. Protesting is a very good tactic, but choosing to disregard political opportunities tells me you’re not really worth listening to.

            Have fun playing computer warrior, kid, I’m tired of you.

      Bombing the shit out of the Middle East is the only bipartisanism the US has ever reached, therefore yes, a Democrat would have had to bomb something because that’s what US presidents do. Anyway, keep on blaming voters instead of holding the party accountable for its mistakes.

        “Don’t blame the voters who elected the president” is the sort of argument I’d expect from someone intentionally ignoring that he bombed nuclear sites.

        BoTh SiDeS arguments are stupid and people who make them should be ignored. Like I said, anything to justify your bad choice.

          Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.

          But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.

          I didn’t make a choice. I don’t live in the US. But my country is strewn with US military bases and it wasn’t Trump who put them there.

          Trump is simply more ignorant about how a US president should bomb the shit out of Middle Eastern countries, but don’t act like he invented anything.

          And yes, on some things “both sides suck” because the US have been terrorizing other countries for decades.

          They bring desolation and have the gall of calling it peace.
