POG Politics Thread Version 3
Come on in! Since Dustin is taking his ball and going home, it's time to start a new politics thread.
w was my favorite president. obv I hate them all. burning in hell for eternity is probably too good for them. BUT.... w did have me literally rolling around on the floor laughing reading his greatest quotes, and watching his bloopers. so at least he gave me that joy.
probably my favorite was when he tried to walk off that stage in china(?) and the door wouldn't open
fool me once shame on...... shame on you...... fool me can't get fooled again
people used to protest a lot harder
thoughtful of them to send a warning
The Standard Oil bombing came a week after RGF bombed the FBI office in downtown Berkeley. They continued bombing campaigns throughout the year, targeting the ATF and the Iranian Consulate in San Francisco over the summer, and the Hewlett-Packard lab in Palo Alto in March 1976
bombing Hewlett Packard was ahead of it's time. probably HP was doing some weapons stuff, and not bombed cuz they knew computers would be evil. but who knows?
The IAEA said the attack near the Bushehr plant, Iran’s only operational nuclear power facility, was the fourth such attack since Israel and the US began its invasion of Iran on February 28. The plant lies in a city inhabited by about 250,000 people.
fourth attack?!?!?! 😮
I think Iran has downed 4 US aircraft in the past 2 days.
They have plenty of missiles left and can build more in any sewer with parts from alibaba.
The US has the worst military in the world. Everything costs billions of dollars and is ineffective against underground installations.
Any word where degen domer had his money? Does he have a podcast? I finally saw his 60 minutes appearance. He said he looks at his phone within 5 seconds of waking up [emoji1787]
If it makes you feel any better, I don't want to.
With very few exceptions, we just don't have a viable option that isn't R or D. And the choice between those two is extremely easy for me.
If we had a dozen parties and instant runoff voting, I bet I'd almost never rank a Democratic candidate first.

Drones and cheap guided missiles changed the game and the US is still playing according to Sklansky.
I heard trump said USA obliterated iran's anti air abilities. wonder how many planes they would have shot down if USA didn't obliterate their anti air.

I don't think he has a podcast.
my best performance in a pog game(very low bar) was arguing with domer in a "life draft" or something. we were drafting things that would give us our dream life. and domer drafted going to Mars! I argued how incredibly awful it would be travel to Mars, and how awful it would be to on Mars if you managed to survive the journey.
then I sabatoged his life draft by ruining my own draft and picking domer for "best friend" category, so he'd be stuck on Mars with me, cuz you automatically spend a lot of time with your best friend.

right. our disagreement, that we've gone over many times before, is just that when a system is that bad, that undemocratic, it's time to oppose it. and not that my vote for Gloria la Riva did the tiniest thing, and I didn't even bother to vote in the presidential election at all in 2024. so I'm guilty too. or maybe I did vote? I don't even remember.

I saw a little while ago that Ukraine was offering to help the US deal with the drone situation, and at the time I thought "that's cute", but given your above I'm rethinking my hubris.
After a brief searching, I saw that Hegseth last year stated that we've fallen behind on tactical drone usage.
isn't there a dystopian story in which all neighborhoods are all covered in leafy nets to avoid aerial exposure, or am I making that up?
Texas dominated this new list of the 15 ...
Filthy, San Diego is 15th. But you can do better, time to move to Texas!
Step 1: Sell Prius, buy a pickup
Step 2: No more Birkenstocks, upgrade to cowboy boots
Step 3: Guns, guns and more guns
Step 4: Y'all
Step 5: Hang with marknfw!
Trump wished Iran a Happy Easter.
Awoman
You gotta think there are plots happening in the Kingdom. The 25th Amendment looms.
Vance and cabinet members notify Congress that ****face is unable to discharge his duties and that's it. Vance is President.
Trump can send a counter-claim but if cabinet members affirm, Congress has 21 days.
If they can't get 2/3 of BOTH CHAMBERS to vote to remove, then Trump is President again. How insane would that be.
Of course, it's not up to the cabinet members, it's up to their owners, Peter Theil, Larry Ellison, etc.
Or one of em could just push him down a flight of stairs like he did with Ivana.
Rubio making sense!
Completely agree, NATO is dead. Let Europe form a new alliance without the US. They have plenty of nuclear warheads.
Russia doesn't have any resources whatsoever to attack Europe.
They would have to first completely conquer Ukraine and then set up supply lines to take Poland?
I'm no fan of Putin but what exact fear is Rubio mongering?

it has begun.
[QUOTE=BBC]General Carsten Breuer is a man in a hurry. As head of Germany's armed forces he's the most powerful, and arguably the most important, soldier in Europe. He's been tasked with the rapid expansion of Germany's armed might, turning its army into the continent's most powerful fighting force.
For he believes Russia's ongoing attempts to bolster its military through increased recruitment and investment in weaponry will leave it strong enough to launch an attack on a Nato territory by 2029.
...
We can clearly see that Russia is building up its military to a strength which is nearly double the size of what they had before the war against Ukraine… In 2029 it will be possible for Russia to conduct a major war against Nato.
...
Under his command, the German armed forces are rapidly expanding in strength and numbers. Germany is projected to spend €162bn (£140.2bn) on its military in 2029, up from €95bn in 2025. Opinion polls suggest the boost has strong support from the German public.
[/QUOTE]
Can't have a respectable World War without a "rapid expansion of Germany's armed might."
Nancy Pelosi said, “Rebuilding Alcatraz into a modern prison is a stupid notion that would be nothing more than a waste of taxpayer dollars and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.”
insulting the intelligence of the American people(which is hard to do), and wasting money is standard operating procedure for the govt. and Nazi pelosi knows this.
