SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.
Say what you will about Matt Gaetz, but that dude is COMMITTED to preventing the proof of his ****ing kids from getting out.
In the eyes of Joe Biden and the U.S. government, Palestinian lives count for less. If a former State Department official can casually state it as fact in an interview, it’s not really that provocative of a thesis. The past six months in Gaza have provided heaps of evidence, but last week’s bombing of the World Central Kitchen workers re-emphasized that there is an exchange rate on Palestinian life, and it is favorable to thos
remember when this was maybe gonna be the catalyst for change? anyway, they hit this guy's aid workers again. luckily sleepy joe has priorities in order, busy securing a pardon for his criminal failson... #vbnmw
Andres is a spook. no doubt in my mind.
"If the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity."
anybody know the mechanics of "ALL HELL TO PAY" these days?
i'm sure it involves 99% less GENOCIDE though amirite!?!?!?!
literally doing the 99% Hitler meme. Dems keep coping.
are you looking forward to buying beachfront investment property in gaza soon too? is it too soon to move the embassy again?

Between this and Crypto continuing to speedrun 200 years of FAFO banking regulations (people saying they lost everything in the Hawk Tuah rugpull feels like a low point), this feels like that moment where historians (European obv, we won't have any) will look back and be like "Wait, for real...???"
Maybe our Reign of Terror will be cooler, I dunno.
Look if you put money into a Hawk tuah girl crypto you deserve to lose every cent
I still believe in her
It is absolutely insane that Witty’s video could go public and a single human being who doesn’t hold UHC stock would feel an ounce of sympathy for Thompson of the rest of these scumbags
To be fair, not-Mario by all accounts is a preppy rich boy idiot who loves him some Leon who seemed bored and decided to do a thing, but honest to ****ing Christ **** these people

A bullet from a preppy rich boy idiot who loves him some Leon who seemed bored can be just as effective as a bullet from a real progressive. Often more effective.
Just gonna leave this here as i imagine we'll get some use out of it later
In the age of memes that is a beauty
The Ghoul Nancy Pelosi ****ing over AOC and future progressive Dems should have been a bigger story.
Get the **** out you hag! You're too old for politics! Enjoy your remaining years.
That photo is just weird now. He was a special forces, the special forces community on youtube is now talking about it. He was in Special forces but went into drones within military. He was broke up about an airstrike that killed a bunch of civilians back in the day that was covered up in Afgan against a drug compound, also........ he also wanted to blow the whislte on the "drones"
He says US and China have anitgravity drones and the world is in danger from some pissing match. I mean we alredy have nukes... but w/e maybe this is bad too. I aint tellin you what to believe, just what is going down. That photo is now weird as F... Tim Kennedy one of the youtube SF guys, says he knew suicide dude, he was good guy.
