No you're just stupid.

Are you so retarded you don’t understand the liar’s paradox?

Yes. He is one of the dumbest people on the website. That's why I stopped arguing with him entirely. He still tries to start shit outside this thread even. He's a dramafag who has no control of himself, and no control over anything else in his life, so he comes here to shit up the thread.

Meanwhile, Iran is drafting 12 year olds and have pulled all of their forces out of Iraq where they've controlled 1/3rd of the country for over a decade.

No matter how "bad" you think things are for the USA (they aren't) it's infinitely worse for our enemies.

Americans revere the teens who stepped up to defend their country in 1776. Those kids are taught about in middle school here. How is this any different (besides the sneak attack assassinating foreign leaders part)?

We're the aggressors. We're the bad guys this time.

we did level fucking Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Ehh, not as much as you'd think. Nuclear weapons back then were incredibly weak.

@Joy Jay i can't reply to your comment, but i think you're wrong. I just looked, and economy, immigration, taxes, crime were the biggest reasons people voted republician in 2024. Transgender rights came dead last, although it may have something to do with framing it as "rights" instead of "transgender stuff".

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Your logic is the entire reason why the national electoral college exists and frankly why states should have mandatory electoral colleges.

We don’t anymore because of a court ruling by activist judges half a century ago.

In the context of Transgenders, people didn't vote republican in 2024 because Transgenders needed more/less rights. They voted R to stop trannys from feeding children home made HRT and encouraging them to chop their fucking dicks off before puberty.

You won't find that quantified on any survey or poll because its wrong think.

I’m seeing a democrat party looking at doubling down here.

No, we flattened it.

I see multiple standing structures right there. My point is just that old nuclear weapons aren't as powerful as the media attempts to portray them as.

Thoughts and opinions on the revised DHS funding bill that was presented by the House? It got turned around real fast, but it's not what I was expecting. It's just 2 months of funding for DHS, basically a clean CR. Johnson was talking about adding voter-id and then just didn't. The Democrats lost a bargaining chip with Trump funding TSA, I know their sueing over it, but what incentive do they have to pass this funding besides looking like lame obstructionists. Also I know it kinda doesn't matter because Thune hopped on a plane as did other Congress critters, so it's at least 2 more weeks of partial shutdown and ICE in airports.

If you microscopically zoom in on a 'flat' surface you'll also see bumps and ridges, and you can infinitely zoom into the coastline to define it ever more in-depth. It's hyperbole for emphasis, and you know exactly what it means. You're not going to get me the way you get others with that shit, because if you can't understand hyperbole I think you're just a retarded faggot who needs to learn how the English language works.

Here in America, we don't always say the exact word for word dictionary definition meaning of something. We say things we think are funny for comedic effect too.

The firebombing of Tokyo also flattened the city of Tokyo.


And here's the difference in landmass.


There is no question that Tokyo and Hiroshima were flattened by nuclear bombs. But they weren't COMPLETELY 100% ENTIRELY flattened. But then, no one said they were. And since you like to be precise and exact.

To make flatter. The cities were undeniably LESS flat before the bombs. So. We flattened them. Just like we've flattened thousands of Iranian landscapes.

My point is just that old nuclear weapons aren't as powerful as the media attempts to portray them as.

This is correct.

A swing back to the left is inevitable because all the momentum on the right is dead and things naturally trend to the elft by default in the society that we're in. Doesn't help that for every Rubio and Miller we have 15 "lose with dignity" conservatives clinging on to dear life and doing everything in their power to make sure nothing gets done.

The right doesn’t have a ton of momentum because they’re not voting currently, midterms are usually light on red voting.
But there is zero momentum and zero enthusiasm for democrats, there will never be a swing back. They might one day regain power but it would be a gradual thing not a swing

Massie's bitching about it.

Massie cheated on his cancer wife.

Remember, too. ABC is here telling you that the claims of fraud are 'baseless'. It has already been admitted that Fulton County has problematic voting records, at BEST.

The real issue at the core here is the Dominion Systems report that states that the system reported 17688 ballots less then what was officially entered as the result. The Dems obviously want this fact buried and the GoP obviously want to know where these extra votes came from.

Remember in 2020 Fulton Country electoral board investigated the "issue" and found no extra votes, so either the dude from Dominion machines is lying under oath or the Fulton Country board is lying under oath.

Biden only won by 11420 votes. If the FBI gets to examine the electronic voting records of the machines they will know exactly how many votes each machine tallied, then the lair will be exposed.

Seeing as the Dominion tech dude responsible for Fulton Country is testifying for the FBI, I think we can safely make a guess at which side is lying.

My big question is...so what?

OK, we find out Biden actually did lose in 2020 and people cheated the system to get him over the line...now what? How will effect the current administration? This would be totally unexplored territory and I have no clue how it would pan out.

Part of me just wants this shit to die. Yah the Democrats probably did use the CoVid panic to cheat and steal the election. But the damage has been done and Trump came back and won. Punish the cheaters and move on because no matter what the outcome is we all know the DNC honchos who masterminded the steal will never be charged, it will be some pasty in Fulton and Maricopa who goes to jail for his masters. It the same shit all the time. Nothing will change, the Democratic media will scream about lies and manufactured evidence, about weaponizing the justice system, about revenge and a pogrom on political opponents and just whip up even more hatred between the sides. Nothing will change the Left, they don't give a single shit about anything but power anymore.

I dunno...I don't see much good coming out of this no matter what the ruling is.

There is no question that Tokyo and Hiroshima were flattened by nuclear bombs. But they weren't COMPLETELY 100% ENTIRELY flattened. But then, no one said they were.

I'd also add that it's because most of the structures which were around before the bombings were made of wood.

If you microscopically zoom in on a 'flat' surface you'll also see bumps and ridges, and you can infinitely zoom into the coastline to define it ever more in-depth. It's hyperbole for emphasis, and you know exactly what it means. You're not going to get me the way you get others with that shit, because if you can't understand hyperbole I think you're just a retarded faggot who needs to learn how the English language works.

I understand hyperbole, I just wanted to point out that 10-15 kiloton bombs aren't that powerful.

half the people survived tho, more than half

You could make an argument that the cities outermost towns, suburbs, etc are responsible for that combined with people already starting to leave the cities once bombings began in the years prior.

I think Zohran winning gave them a lot of hope, and I assume that thrend is going to continue with a lot of DSA types getting elected in the midterms. They're already running that one insane redditor in Maine and he looks like he's going to win.

People are tired of the uniparty. The socialists on the left destroyed the DNC uniparty and took over it while the Republicans are fighting off America First candidates harder than they're fighting off their Democrat opposition. The left has immigrants to primary their socialists in while the Republicans have a majority of boomers to keep the neocons in in our primaries. And I think the average normie would rather have a commie in office than a neocon at this point.

 

[Martian High Command]

I like how they are under the impression that a “swing back to the left” is inevitable just because blue sky allows them to believe most of what Trump is doing is unpopular.
True a lot of the GOP is braindead, but at this point Rubio and Miller are all but confirmed to be MAGA’s next generation with Vance squarely in a maybe position depending on how he handles the fraud, and any of those three can defeat anyone shown here nationally

That cope is so delicious to me, it shows that the left knows they're losing.
>the pendulum has been duct taped to the left for the last 20 or so years
>it shifts mildly to the right
>JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL IT GOES BACK TO THE LEFT NEXT WEEK WE'LL KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY
They have no idea how politically privileged they've been until now.

Oh hey, I was just talking about this last night. CovfefeAnon correct as always.
