    Stock futures are way down.  Thanks fricken Israel/Iran. 


    Damn. Down 738 as of 7:49 PT. 
     

    This is awful for everyone. But again, we have unwavering support for Israel simply because they’re surrounded by bad countries? Since when did that matter to anyone - and certainly not Trump; not saying this is his fault. Just saying maybe it’s time to rethink our friend group as a country.  
     

    Let’s see how many of those precision strikes they pull off without US weapons and $. 

     

    Doesn’t take a genius to see how Iran blames the US for fortifying Israel like this and some whacko extremist hits something here at home. And let’s stop looking at Israel like some group of choir boys. The response to Palestine’s attack was justified; at first. But at what point does Palestine cry uncle loud  enough? Disproportionate by a factor of 100? 
     

    Again, let’s America First this thing and stop supporting Israel. It’s time. If you don’t support Ukraine, why do you support Israel?

  2. So…. How long do we stay in the toxic relationship with our boy Ben? At some

    point many relationships come to an end and I’m just not seeing what we’re getting in return from Israel that’s making us want to continue to be his ally. I’m not saying we go steady with Palestine. I’m saying we “America First” this situation and realize Netanyahu isn’t doing us any favors and get the ***** out altogether.

    If it doesn’t happen, can we pencil in your paycheck for a military related charity? 


    You can pen it in. And I wasn’t saying the right was going to kill anyone. I didn’t say the left would. But tensions are so high, some moron, on some side, will start something and violence will ensue. We’re sitting on a tinder box right now. And Drumpf saying he will arrest protesters (without that caveat of them being violent protesters; ya know, going against that pesky 1st amendment) isn’t helping. But there will be violence by either protesters or counter-protesters because people can’t ***** behave themselves. 
     

    It’s a 💩 show. The whole thing. 
     

    EDIT: crap. I forgot I waited until 45 to have a kid and have a toddler to pay for things for. I was going to say “how about $250” then I thought how morbid is that to “bet” on. So since I opened my fat mouth, tell me your preferred military related charity and I’ll donate anyway, in your name if you want to PM me it, and send receipt. To be 10000% clear, my comment was - and never will be - anti-military. It was more a commentary on the current state of the country.

    Weird to need a curfew when everything is fine.  


     

    FYI this thread title is absolutely embarrassing.  


    The titles hyperbole, but you’re OK with active duty marines being used for a domestic issue? Like I said, the national guard is there because that’s their job. But active duty marines? Slippery slope… 

     

    Curious your thoughts on this one.

    It's something isn't it Steve.

     

    You spend your whole life, living, experiencing, forming your own opinion about things.

     

    Then you go on a political board, demonstrate your world view and try and present clear, logical, and convincing liberal posts over a 22 year period.

     

    And then a supposed fellow liberal (with a two digit IQ) keeps calling you out because you didn't fall in to lockstep with the other extremists.

     

     


    In fairness (really to my friends on the other side of the aisle) I haven’t always taken the high road, clearly. 
     

    But, I’ve have the ability to read through much of the fray and theatrics here, and in doing so have actually learned a thing or two that doesn’t follow the “red is bad, blue is right/righteous.” I still very much believe - as part of my ethics , personality, upbringing, and sensibilities - in the liberal ideals. Call it a bleeding heart, but I do feel as a whole, the democratic party has historically shown more empathy and continues to today. But as with most things, the squeaky wheels get the oil. And the squeaky wheels on the left are so god damned squeaky and emotional that they can’t see the stupidity for the trees. 
     

    This case in particular is a horribly excellent example of blindly following party lines and a use case to call the right evil for deporting a “poor hardworking man” and then not being able to say “well, crap, we were wrong. This man is human garbage. Good riddance” and then back peddling to say “it’s not this one man; it’s the principle!!”  
     

    But I will say I do appreciate you and others starting to hold true political discussions and not cherry picking the nutsos on the left from Twitter (of course some the rights squeakiest of course solely rely on the purple haired weirdos to “prove” a point, but I digress). As you all know we can find the example of the maga extremists making your party look equally unhinged. The truth - as always - lies much more in the fact that if we had a beer summit, we’d all agree on much more than we seemingly vehemently disagree with through the anonymity of a keyboard.  
     

    Not sure if this makes sense. It’s early here, I got up at 4:30a with a toddler going through a sleep regression, and I’m in CA, so I’m sure I have a granola protest to go to later this afternoon.

    Fortunate for you Steve,

     

    Homelander’s opinion is of little value to anyone here at PPP.  

     

     


    Curious why domestic abuse isn’t listed on the charges unless it’s because the fearful wife withdrew the claim or statute has passed? 
     

    Either way, I’m considering just jumping ship and registering independent (well I’m in CA, so NPP). Can’t take the fake outrage over this piece of trash and a laundry list of other things.

  7. Dem* here 🙋🏼‍♂️

     

     Said from day one this wife beater deserves to be under the prison. 
     

    *sorry, let me clarify: I’m a registered Democrat, have voted Democrat in every election since I was 22 (I’ll admit I didn’t vote in college; too drunk). But according to Homeboy, I’m an undercover MAGA Republican. This post certainly won’t help my cause there. 😂

    Serious question. No gotcha question. How do you feel about politicians who are broke when elected but in a few short years are multimillionaires?


    Every single one of them should be investigated. Left, right, center. I don’t know what the Mendoza line is though for “how much is too much” to make, but that’s why I’m not a policymaker. 

  9. Only somewhat related, but I can’t speak highly enough about YouTube TV.
     

    It’s like $83 a month, has all the “cable” channels you could want, a seemingly unlimited DVR feature, no need to bundle “home phone” like the cable companies still try in 2025, and one small feature that is awesome for me, you can organize the channel list however you want. So my three watch channels are all at the top of the list when I go to the live tv feature.

     

    And lastly, if you do tack on NFL Sunday ticket, it doesn’t buffer - ever. When DTV offered ST streaming it was like watching on Netscape Navigator on dial up in 1997.

    I’ll show my ignorance here. I understand why Elon would want this. Either short TSLA through a couple layers or get the left to buy his cars. But I’m missing what’s in it for Trump to be called a pedophile by the man with the world’s largest microphone other than just being a distraction to his tariffs. Sorry, honestly missing it - I’m not doubting it because nothing is out of bounds nowadays but fill me in?.

  11. Ok, if this is “scripted,” it has surpassed 4D chess and is now like 7 or 8D. 
     

    I didn’t even know there were that many Ds… wait, what? 
     

    But curious that Elon is in essence accusing Trump of being a pedo yet let his kid hang with the orange man. 
     

    This is the kind of stuff that if it were on a TV series, I’d stop watching after half an episode because it’s just too unbelievable.

    always hated teslas. electric cars are a stupid politician money grab


    My previous car was an EV. Volvo C40 Recharge. The thing was awesome because Volvos look like dad cars (I’m a dad) but when at a red light, if I needed to, I could go 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. 
     

    And THEN my wife and I moved across the country. We sold most everything we had and drove our two cars over 9 days (made a fun trip out of it) . My day was waking up 2 hours before her and arriving at each subsequent stop at least an hour after her in her ICE car. Charging infrastructure just isn’t there. Also, while I work from home and drive about 250 miles a month, for the times I need to go farther, it’s a PITA. 
     

    So we traded it in for a Volvo XC90 PHEV. It has an electric range of 30 miles, so works for 90% of my needs without ever needing gas, but always has a full tank of gas for the times I need it. Until they can get charge times down to anywhere near the time it takes to fill up a tank, EVs just aren’t ready for prime time for most folks. Tesla, of course, leads the way with their much more vast charging network and charging speeds, but still not there yet. Maybe in 5 years?

    Elon has a mild form of Aspergers.  He wouldn't have gotten to where he is today without it but going off on a tweet storm like this isn't surprising.


     

    When you say mild, you mean like Duff’s mild is hot, medium is very hot…

    Yes.  I’m not the only one.  
     

     


     


    I mean I don’t doubt anything anymore with these two, but do you really think if it was scripted, Trump would be ok with the richest man in the world - and former (like as of Monday) friend - essentially calling him a pedophile? This is just crazy crazy stuff!
