maga going to bat for Kennedy after he called magas fat, poor losers and that he would take their guns is so awkward and a world class dunk on their bald spots by Rogan and his crew.

Who is "going to bat" for Kennedy?

This fascinating logic as you watch your candidate literally #metoo numerous policies that you guys used to lose your mind over . . . I mean

It is a rare day when the U.S. doesn't get what it wants in the security council.
 
 Let's take Libya . . . it's a pretty hard sell to go out and say we're taking a guy out because he keeps talking about an African Union, an African currency and Africa's version of the Federal Reserve, and that he's got embarrassing information on the President of France.  The situation requires that you conjure up human rights abuses to justify the actions you're going to take. Of course those actions were the totally unnecessary overthrow of a sovereign nations government and subsequently thrusting that country into a civil war and a failed state, now into its second decade.  Not to mention the need to question why we overthrew a leader whose military was fighting AQNA . . . I suppose it's hard to ship freedom fighters to Syria when that pesky Libyan gov't keeps getting in the way.

It was a war in the Balkans, the other side killed lots of Serbs and put lots of Serbs into concentration camps as well. I can't imagine why the Serbs held a grudge for so many years. Might have something to do with Kosovo-Muslims joining the Waffen SS 30,000 strong . . . but again, Serbia did not attack NATO. Thus the actions undertaken by Clinton at the behest of his wife violated the NATO charter. Iran was flooding the region with weapons and Jihadists. It's so weird how you guys pick and choose when Jihad is good and when its bad . . .

I just looked at the command structure of Operation Iraq Freedom - US/NATO member states and ANZUS dominated.

if only there was a mechanism in which other members not in agreement could stand in the way of such actions

oh well

There's all kinds of mechanisms in all kinds of legislative bodies to stop things, Lick.  Many times they're not worth the paper they're written on as certain entities hold sway.  Only the derpiest of the derps apply that kind of logic to situations like this. My gawd . . . 

great points about the notoriously toothless Security Council Veto powers

Agreed, and thus we can say the UNSC rarely doesn't grant the US "permission" to go to war.

The US and it's bombin buddies from NATO, that is . . .

Not you that’s for sure.  You acknowledge he’s a absolute moron who called magas disgusting fat bodies that are too stupid to use a car wash.

There are two cults currently operating and vying for control.

One, MAGA/Trumpism, is a cult of personality.

The other, The Democratic Party (and yes, Dax is correct in calling them the Neocons/neolibs), is a cult of the machine.

There is a lot up for grabs. The unipolar world order we’ve lived under since the fall of the USSR is in play. The result could be more unipolarity, bipolarity or multipolarity.

Yeah, nic. Don't bogart that ish.

Are you commenting on what I said about two cults, or the polarities? Or both?

I’m not saying that to be a supporter of one or the other means you’re in said cult btw. Just that both operate as cults/religions and have cult-like followers/devotees of varying degrees of zealotry.

I have a public school education and don't know what a unipolar world order is tbh.

Not saying this presidential election is gonna make or break the polirity stuff one way or the other.

[steve dave]

No, of course not

Watching Kamala attempting to explain teamwork to some high school kids like they're 4.5 years old is . . . something.   

Then again, she thinks 18-24 year olds are "stupid".

[star seed 7]

18-24 yr olds are stupid

This is insane. I'll give you credit for your constant ways in attempting to both sides the insanity we're currently experiencing. Maybe you don't know what a cult it? The reason why people call maga a cult is that people who follow trump will conform their beliefs based on whatever he tells them to do. The dems are an absolute crazy quilt of ideas whose feature is their absolute inability to come to a consensus on anything, at all. If they lose this election it will be because they can't come to an agreement on how to treat the Israel/Palestinians conflict. You can go right down the line of current issues and there are some level of division within specifically the democratic party and liberals in general. This isn't a thing for maga. The only thing the dems seem to be united on are reproductive rights.

When it comes to believing absolutely insane conspiracy theories and being willing puppets and parrots of some of the biggest disinformation campaigns in modern world history. #blueanon rank and file (numbering in the tens of millions) is in absolute lockstep in terms of doing what they're told to do.  Believing what they're told to believe, and saying what they're told to say . . . by #blueanon thought leaders and political apparatchiks.

Russia-Russia-Russia and Hunter Biden's Laptop (just two examples) are living proof of that reality.

Imagine being so simple, that you don't know or understand that various think tanks and government entities (particularly the military and intelligence agencies) have been thinking about, researching, analyzing and writing about hundreds of thousands of ideas, many of them absolutely insane . . . and the vast majority of them never-ever become reality.

Yet somehow, in the simple mush brained world of #blueanon.  Project 2025 will be implemented fully on day one if Trump is elected.

It's astonishing, but absolutely indicative of how easily #blueanon rank and file can be manipulated.

Oh man, that's original. 

[steve dave]

it's like their entire campaign and everything they do starts out with "you know what would be a horribly shitty idea?" and then they do it.

They know it's effective with the cult. On almost every tweet about this there is at least one brain dead dumb dumb that says, "yeah but, at least he showed up".
