14% admit it.

Closer to 40%, probably more.

The south started the Civil War because they lost an election, they’re not that far different now.

Tl;Dr you’re declaring war on Lebanon.

Then just admit it, this bs dance is childish.

You’re either at war with them or the Lebanese are innocent bystanders where you have to minimize collateral damage, can’t have it both ways.

that can’t be employed at scale as readily

Well there’s your problem right there:

You’re concerned we can’t scale up arbitrary killings? Would you prefer something on a larger, more industrial scale, perhaps with large, gas-fueled ovens?

Killing should be hard, and it should be personal, not vaguely waving a hand in a general direction. You should know their name and hopefully have filled out a few forms beforehand.

If you want to kill somebody, when you aren’t at war with their entire country, then BE SPECIFIC.

Drone strikes that take out a known Al-Queda leader: ✅

Drone strike that takes out a random Afghan wedding: ❌

Ok, on the one hand, yes, blowing up Hamas is funny.

OTOH, this is not cool, bombing random people is a problem.

The US has this wonderful system called the Hellfire R-9X which is basically a flying slap-chop that ginzus a single target with 9 pop-out blades. Can we hand a couple over to the IDF and Mossad so they stop randomly blowing up parts of Lebanon?

It’s not killing Hamas that’s the issue, it’s the collateral.

Exponential funeral growth.

I lived there.

I really wonder whether it would open more peoples’ eyes, or get her threats of violence.

I could see a lot of both coming :(

That is an epic dick fucking move.

Fire them all, publish their names, and Linda Wilson needs to spend some time in a cage.

This is like Worf and his 2nd place trophy.

This somehow feels wrong, but all the evidence proves otherwise. :(

edit: Man, he was 4 different characters in DS9, even I missed some.

edit2: Nope, IMDB says no Combs in TNG, what a Conundrum.

God, imagine if Dolly did endorse her.

Wait, so who was he in TNG? He must have been there, but it’s just not coming to me.

Listen, China is going to start a war, their overall situation basically demands it, and we’ll win.

But if they decide not to, that’s fine too.

I’m not bloodthirsty, I’m just not remotely afraid of it, countries like Russia and China need to learn: “Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin’.”

And BTW, they’re never, ever, EVER getting Taiwan back.

Do Republicans really hate America this much?

Yes.

Because it’s not just theirs anymore.

The last time dixiecrats, now republicans, felt like they didn’t control the country, they declared war on it.

You need to find the magic smoke and push it back in, hurry!

Justice Roberts: “Well, actually, the constitution actually says the last president does take control of the nation’s armed forces, so long as he currently lives in a state that isn’t north of Virginia. It also specifically says this only counts if he needs to wear suntan lotion while he golfs at his own course, weird.”

She’s like Covid, we ALL know covid.

They’re dixiecrats still screaming because we took their segregation away.

That’s all they’ve ever had, and it looks like it’s all they’ll ever be.

No, it’s wrong.

They are left behind.

Because they choose to deny reality, believing we’re still back in the later roman era where the church controls all and slaves exist to serve their bidding.

We don’t point at the Taliban and say “Oh, the poor, left behind, economically anxious, marginalized rural folk!”

You can’t point at Dixiecrats and act like they’re some kind of innocent victims in this, they’ve had a century and a half to actually try to do anything and they’ve doubled down every time.

No, that part I get.

It’s the worst person you know having a rational argument.

That’s just throwing me, I just can’t wrap my head around it.

What.

The.

Fuck?!

Yes, how dare we ram a ship in their own territorial waters without provocation.

Having worked in China, oh my god it’s somewhere between hell on earth and an open air prison, I’ll take the US any day.
