  1. The entire fucking thread is about Pelosi, there's no better topic to cite the example of a Congressperson occupying a seat longer than some of us have been alive. At the same time, I'm literally reading those shilling for the uber rich because they were able to do so under the shield of office and/or fit someone's political narritive. That's absolutely disgusting and disengenous to our democracy. We're all condeming this attack here. At the same time, we're all seeing a theme build up from radicalized individuals motivated by misinformation. It should be concerning, as the more partisan we become, the more this becomes a thing. This happened to Sotomayor over two years ago and it go so little attention that you wouldn't even know about it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2021/02/19/report-supreme-court-justice-sotomayor-targeted-by-gunman-who-killed-federal-judges-son/amp/
  2. Fuck him too, is that what you needed to see?
  3. I addressed your request, but your position is woefully ignorant of the response as you clearly don't follow finance news and SEC regulations. Read it again, nobody is justifying the attack. It's shameful and misguided. It's horrific and fucked. I just want Nancy out of office as her time is long overdue to GTFO. FUCK anyone and everyone fighting Congressional term limits, wilfully supporting grift of elected officials because they represent your favorite crayon color.
  4. Nancy pushed back on AOC and others who proposed Congress members should he banned from trading equities, under insider trading allegations. She finally came around, but not before showing her true colors.
  5. Or you can explain to us, how the Pelosis amass a net wealth exceeding $120MM, the protocol that keeps her in office for 35 years, and who the hero actually is, when a whistleblower like Snowden is implored by Pelosi to return and face Congress directly.
  6. I have a total of 8 posts in this subforum. You're going to greater length to fit opinions to your narrative, while dismissing alienated voters and the one candidate who promoted education while ringing the alarm bell on workforce replacement via automation. Not worth a scoff, not an established Boomer. There is a place for honest politicians who serve their constituents under term limits, with limited access to lobbyist activity and mechanisms for personal financial gain.
  7. Willfully copacetic with "rules for thee, but not for me.". Got it. Both Pelosis should be enjoying their 80s on Lake Como or somewhere nice. They thrive on RESPONSIBILITIES few Americans will ever sniff.
  8. I questioned the motive that Libertarians have as a platform altogether, not justified them. I'll give them the nod that ever expansion of government isn't exactly a good thing. Yang was a 2020 Democrat Presidential Primary candidate, so are you paying attention? I enjoyed his debate, among Buttigieg's, as D candidates to at least shake up the established. Biden was still the right nominee, and the centrist we all knew him for.
  9. We've already covered the sham justifications from the right. When reality becomes too much for them, they result to conspiracies. The 30% "can't be bothered" because Politics have become a sport, while the corruption within our own system runs so deep, the recurring theme must cover whichever Congressman has taken the podium of fleecing America and whichever lobbyist keeps it rolling. And you wonder why Libertarians have a platform, why youth voter turnout is a problem, and why a bright, young, democrat candidate in Andrew Yang became disillusioned with his own party to go fuck off with David Jolly and found a new platform.
  10. I'll go one further, because you'd better ponder the theme: is this what pitchforks look like? Members of Congress amass massive sums of money on the backs of our misery. Kavanaugh is a sexual assaulter. These figures are political "lifers" who haven't enacted legislation to keep themselves honest, or even limit the term for the people they serve. We are supposed to be a polite society, but if we can't be fucked to drag out the guillotines, at least recognize the issue of crazies attacking politicians as a "problem," instead of more school kids. I jest, but wouldn't be surprised to discover Paul's attacker as a Junior Trading Analyst at a wealth management fund.
  11. Well, now we know who PayPal has marked first for collecting their $2500.
  12. That's a pretty stark headline when one considers the implications of an attack like that on an elected official. There's no place for victim-blaming in any scenario where personal safety is jeopardized, but I also think it's near equally crazy that Pelosi is still in office. Her term has become one of serving the people, to serving women, but now to serving herself. That we don't have voters or legislation to get her out of Washington is astounding. I have a massive disdain for career politicians, regardless of which color crayon that leader gargles. She's become toxic for Dems and reckless with her handling of the Taiwan trip to sparring over Congress members trading equities. Three decades in Congress and 15 years serving caucus, with an adamant position not to step down, is too much.
  13. I didn't see that message abouit Iskanders linked in this thread, but found a relevent Twitter comment:
  14. Welp, guess he found out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/putin-claims-west-seeks-global-domination-by-using-ukraine/2022/10/27/39fbbec4-5607-11ed-ac8b-08bbfab1c5a5_story.html

  17. this should not be a surprise
  18. CIWS has a stupidly-complex (and expensive) maintenance requirement. Even test-firing of the unit requires a tear-down afterwards. CRAM isn't feasible because that lead would be dropping over civilians.
  19. Nah, I believe it, Israel just isn't going on the record to say as much. And Ukraine asking for "The Iron Dome," is incredibly specialized request, for a unique fabrication and exposures that Jerusalem isn't in the market for. It's like asking for a very specific hand-loomed textile for a cleanup job, when commercially-available rolls of paper towels exist on the shelf.
  20. Do you even spawn camp, bro? Kill ratio ain't gonna fabricate itself.
  21. That would be some shit, Poland doesn't even glance over at Germany before moving into Kaliningrad while Japan etches out runways to park their fighters on the Kurils.
  22. Not only that, we have several documented instances where FSB has outright stated, "nobody is informing Putin of the truth," while "Putin is making decisions on his own," with events unfolding in Ukraine. The former, because the failures and weaknesses will fall on other individuals with responsibility under Putin, while the latter has been Putin's own desires made without consult. There may be a point tested between Putin's nuclear football and the offensive or launch vehicle that simply doesn't work... and it's because some men in the middle have had enough or won't bear responsibilty of decisions from a man who has lost favor with everyone around him. Seriously, even among his closest oligarchs, who is making money in that country any longer?
  23. Big boom with different footage merged. Looks fake to me. This one ain't:
  24. Oh what the hell is this... some RAF pensioners decide the price for treason is only $300K.
  25. I don't want to hear any talking-head "wishcast" a fabricated call into a game-changing penalty... there's enough of that in this shit conference and I'd like to see our exit before the next one racks up.
