Whoa, we’re halfway there
Whoa-oh, hot dog and a prayer

He was still alive?!!!

“American Conservative Christians” are not Christians. They never have been.

Is cross posting something from a year and a half ago a thing?

Everyone is free to speak and say anything they want to say. Nobody has ever promised that their speech would also be free of consequemces. That’s the part most people misunderstand.

I know that I can’t take no more
It ain’t no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, Tri, Bi, bye (Bye, bye)

That’s 4D chess, so I doubt it. More likely is that they assumed that the Iranian regime was at a tipping point (it was), and figured theyncould swoop in, bring “freedoms” and take all the oil from an American/Saudi/UAE/Israel puppet government. Instead, all they did was solidify the existing regime and multiply their influence by an ordernof magnitude, while significantly decreasing the US standing and influence in geopolitics.

Seriously.

A competent administration would have filled the reserves to capacity (75MM barrels) before starting shit with Iran. I am going to take a wild huess that they did not do that.

It’s a good thing that only immigrants do crime. 🙄

If I wanna look good and not be bummy,
Xi, you better give me that money!

Hey, Inari, baby Xi’s got your money
Don’t you worry, Xi said hey.
Baby Xi’s got your money.

I hear what you are saying, and I agree that he is definitely promilitary. What I was trying to get to though is that he is far more representative of the population than a great majority of the “personalities” constantly being sent to the hill.

On a personal note, I think we should force the military to use a significantly larger share of their budget on active and post-active care. It isn’t right to break someone down and then expect them to fix themselves, and reintegrate back into society. We take advantage of the poor and patriotic, eat them up, and expect them to be fine. It’s a doomed system.

As a soldier, Platner might have a few ounces of blood on his hands. As a former admiral, Lacore has pools worth. Just saying.

EDIT: I’d argue that Platner is one of the truest representations of the American man. PTSD. Reformed (hopefully) racist Reddit edgelord. Had a hard time adjusting after being chewed up and spit out by the military machine. Now he’s older and angry. In his case, he seems to have chosen the progressive path while many (most?) others have chosen fascism to deal with their damage.

Same energy.

Okay, he’s a democrat that acts like a republican.

Da fuq does this mean? I haven’t heard anything that tells me that he’s a homophobic closeted gay man, a pedophile, or a corporate grifter.

I will always add that lemmy.ml is also the main dev’s instance and prior to lemmy.world, the defacto main instance. Many accounts, especially older ones, in lemmy.ml are not politically aligned.
