  1. Hilarious that he would call Mamdani a nepo baby when Cuomo is literally THE nepo baby of NY politics currently.
  2. He was in here singing Cuomo's praises a month ago. The rapist backed by the same billionaires that back Trump. Doesn't seem to give a shit that Eric Adams is literally compromised by the DOJ and will just do whatever the Trump admin tells him to. He is nakedly concern trolling about the scary brown socialist.
  3. Can't believe they didn't stream the mini main event, wtf is up with that? 10,000+ entry tourney not worth streaming even the final table?
  4. Had to stop and snap this pic
  5. Neg this motherfucker into oblivion
  6. Could YOU pass up a Trump brand catheter? I sure as hell couldn't.
  7. That's fair. I didn't mean it that way. Let's leave it there and let this thread get back on track.
  8. Yeah, the shittiest part I think is that I believe Iran would be open to re-establishing the terms of the JCPOA, but now I think they're getting desperate and going to take increasingly desperate measures.
  9. I'm so pissed about all of it, man. I'm not one of those people that can easily unplug myself from the news, so it is just....a lot.
  10. Yeah I think this is a fair assessment. As is this. Look, I'm not trying to shit on anyone here. Even though I am frequently abrasive, my main beef is with "liberal" politicians, not your average, every day liberal, and sometimes I am bad about conflating the two. People's beliefs are complex and often contradictory (myself included), and I am super sensitive to anti-Muslim rhetoric specifically because of hate I have personally seen directed at people I care about far too often. So when I see card-carrying liberals describe someone like Mamdani as "dangerous", I hope you can understand why my hackles get raised, so to speak.
  11. Brother, your experience is most certainly an outlier among the American populace. I'm not sure how you can't see that. You grew up with very privileged in a way the vast majority of Americans do not. Period. I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all, mind you, you should feel very fortunate to have experience such a broad array of people from various cultures from a young age. I'm not telling you that YOU are scared of Muslims, I'm telling you that a majority of Americans are and that the majority of liberals certainly have not elevated themselves above that to any appreciable degree. Seriously, read the book I linked you. I think you would enjoy it and find it illuminating.
  12. Agreed that it is not a great term and is often misapplied. e: @956
  13. After US and Israeli strikes, some nuclear experts say Iran could be more dangerous - ABC News Interesting take. I'm not sure Iran will pull out of the NPT but I think it would be very, very bad for them if they did.
  14. I mean yeah, all religious fundamentalism has this problem, including orthodox Judaism. Read about Kach and Baruch Goldstein sometime. That's not something you would ever learn about in Western curricula.
  15. Ok, Rex. Your personal anecdotes ARE more important.
  16. I'm not a liberal. Liberal Islamophobia is not a fringe element. It is pervasive in our society, and liberals are certainly not immune. Yes, obviously it is worse and amplified among conservatives and liberal politicians (who are largely conservatives themselves). I linked you a very good resource to learn about this from a respected academic who has spend decades studying it but, again, I suspect you have no interest in learning anything beyond your current point of view.
  17. This feels like the same energy as people who rail on about "anti-white racism"
  18. Ok I can't resist, I so badly need to understand how you came to these conclusions. Unless this is just some diabolical gaslighting, in which case bravo.
  19. The local VFW is always tuned to Newsmax or occasionally Fox News when I go to play poker with the old folks on Tuesdays. This week it was on CBS news all night and I could not figure out why.
  20. The latinos around here that I know were Trumpanzees have been real quiet lately.
  21. Incredible. I have no words.
  22. Also fucking lmao @ suggesting it's some kind of perversion. What astounding arrogance.
