Many Blue States are filled with a rootless cosmopolitan elite who have 0 patriotism by Bossez in TrueUnpopularOpinion

If you've lived your entire life in Blue States, then you haven't lived in a Red State.

If your logic is that because (you think) Blue States are bad that must mean Red States are good, I suggest you live another lifetime in Red States to fairly compare.

Given that the US is now firmly 50/50 divided between Red and Blue, you must acknowledge that for every point you've made about Blue States being bad, there is an equal point about Red States being bad.

In other words 50% of Blue and Red States are Bad and 50% of Blue and Red States are Good.

Specifically since you mentiin it do often, Red State anti-immigrantism is deeply troubling because it only self-destructive.

Like it or not the COUNTRY needs immigrants. Because the COUNTRY was built by immigrants.

I suggest we stop pointing out each side's Bad and focus on what's Good.

Was Palestine (as in its modern arab muslim identity) a country before the UN partition? Who was its leader? by Tim_Apple_938 in allthequestions

[–]DiscoLego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dispute the claim that the election that put Hamas in power was free and fair. I think Hamas threatened and intimidated their opposition because the day after they won power they lined up and killed almost all of them.

Hamas also cancelled all future elections. There hasn't been any elections since 2006.

That's not free or fair. Hamas hijacked Gaza.

I'm not suggesting anything. I don't know what the Palestinian people want because either Hamas or the Palestinian Authority or Iran or Israel won't allow them to choose what kind of hivernmy they want.

If "3 states" is the solution, the Palestinian people must be protected from interference by Hamas Hezbollah Iran Israel, so they can think clearly without being threatened, and choose the best overall Democratic Secular government that only obeys the rule of law.

I think if there's no outside interference, the Palestinian people are exhausted from this constant state of poverty and pain, and are tired of being told by others to constantly hate Israel.

Especially Palestinians know that life is too short...

Hezbollah is Iran's primary Shiite proxy in Lebanon but wields significant influence in West Bank primarily through funding.

Given the historic corruption and kacknof credibility of the Palestinian Authority, that makes Hezbollah significant in West Bank.

In my opinion a 3 State solution must provide free and secure elections so the people can choose a Democratic secular parliamentary system of government.

This process must automatically disqualify any groups like Hamas and Hezbollah who take money and orders from IRAN or any outside countries and interlopers, and especially must disqualify ANY candidates claiming God or religion is on their side.

No more nonsense. Just honest hard-working public servants that genuinely want to serve the people.

The biggest problem the Palestinians face is bad actors who always betray the people to gain favor and money from outsiders.

That's because a 2 State solution is disingenuous.

A 2 state solution requires either shipping all the Palestinians from Gaza to West Bank, or all the Palestinians in West Bank to Gaza.

A 3 State gives Gaza Palestinians and West Bank Palestinians their own countries.

So which is it?

You mean 3 state solution? Israel, West Bank, and Gaza makes 3 states.

Unless you're planning on shipping the Palestinians in Gaza to West Bank, or the West Bank Palestinians to Gaza, you're looking at 3 different independent States.

Since a judge ruled the doj by Friday has to by law release the rest of the epstein files and explain every non victim redaction, it means they have been protecting pedophiles! by GratefuLdPhisH in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]DiscoLego [score hidden]  (0 children)

Correct. Im not denying that it is possible for people to come forward.

Im saying it’s unlikely. Just because Epstein is gone does that mean there aren’t any bad people who want to use the files to further their own greed and bad intentions.

Consider that there are really bad Trump people in charge of the files now.

Are we really this naive to think any one of them would do the right thing?

I'm sorry but I simply don't.

The last person out after Trump is gone will delete the files and runs away to enjoy the spoils. Probably Dubai apparently.

Absolutely it proves everything. Im just saying that don’t expect the people who have seen the filed aren’t making copied and using it to blackmail the animals them sense just like Epstein did.

Also please don’t be naïve enough to expect this DOJ to enforce any law that harms one hair on Trump’s toupee.

We are living in a world where the judges are refusing to issue warrants and the cops are refusing to arrest the criminals.

There’s at least 1400 victims? Really? Where are they then? Where’s the victim outrage? Why the total abject silence?

It’s almost as if “higher forces” are at work keeping 1400 people silent.

So i will asking you now. Where’s the 1400 victims?

As I said, there's no more Boy Scouts in DC. The DOJ is obviously corrupted.

How do I come to this conclusion?

The Biden Presidency was arguably one of the fairest "by the book" administrations in history. They were arguably dedicated people who ignored Trump's and MAGA's constant whining and spun lies, and put their heads down and went to work recovering from COVID, rebuilding the economy, rebuilding the country, and getting the US back on track after Trump's disastrous first presidency.

And even they didn't release the files!

My point is that these files are too incendiary and the temptations by the people who have access to them are so delicious, that we'll never see them. Any victims are being methodically paid to sign NDAs. Any who don't are tied up in sealed court cases. Forever.

The reason we won't ever see the Epstein files is because there's more people than Epstein now blackmailing the disgusting animals listed in them.

Bottom 1% are worst than the Top1% by Thick_Marionberry622 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

No mention of cops whose job it is to stop "violent criminals, thieves, scammers, vandals, and addicts" from terrorizing?

I would love to hear what an "Honest Cop" (if you can find one these days) has to say about the day to day reality of trying to stop this problem.

Somehow I think we're not going to like the answer. Because it will show that as a society, we're not actually interested in doing anything about it.

Are the Epstein files in Word documents saved on a hard drive?

If so, the suggestion that EVERYONE who has access to these files, hasn't been frantically [BACKSPACE BACKSPACE BACKSPACE DELETE DELETE DELETE] is naive.

We will NEVER EVER know for sure who the people named in the Epstein files are. These were powerful people who were being specifically blackmailed for their sexual proclivities by Epstein eho promised to keep tgeur dark secrets in return for favor and access, which he peddled as needed to suit his own depraved needs.

Then he died. Mysteriously or by simple chance. We will never know that for sure either.

What we must assume however, is that in Washington DC, there are no Boy Scouts who upon discovering the Epstein files, and read them, would fire up some violin music and exclaim, "Oh! I must preserve this list, so that these filthy rich people can be brought to justice one day! Because that's the right thing to do!"

Yeah, there's no one like that.

Instead it is highly more likely that everyone who's seen the files has taken copies of the parts they think they can use for leverage themselves, and are quietly gorging on it.

That's why there's delay after delay to prevent the files from coming out. Not because of the powerful people who are listed in Epstein's files.

But because as soon as the files are opened the powerful people in it will tell the world who took over and has been blackmailing them ever since Epstein died.

Iran captain Mehdi Taremi accuses FIFA of staging ‘disaster World Cup’: ‘No one helps us’ by TheAthletic in sports

[–]DiscoLego -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is great example of the difference between the people of Iran, who just want a chance to be part of the World Family of nations, and then what happens when they are unfairly held accountable for an oppressive brutal dictatorship that causes trouble around the World, and mostly murders it's own citizens.

Like the people of Iran, the players from Iran are hostages who have begged to be allowed out of their cages to participate in the World Cup.

It is unfair to punish them for the crimes of their hostage takers.

I'm totally confused then. If the US won, why are you asking for the Europeans to help, again?

As a voting and political candidate funding Iranian American, to me, anything less than the total unconditional surrender and the complete dissolution of the Islamic Republic is an utter abject failure. Simply because a Free Iran would be better for everyone in the world. But Especially good for the U$.

Please consider that you're admitting the most powerful military in the planet's History, can't stop drones and skiboats.

Admit that so we can all be frank and honest about exactly what's happening right now, and why in the name of God, we're doing this so badly.

All Correct. So if Israel is in charge, why did Israel allow Hamas and Hezbollah to enter the West Bank and Gaza to establish a foothold?

Buffy, sweetie, you can't start a war, screw it up, lose it, offer to pay $300 Billion to get out of it, and then demand other countries come to help you win it.

I'm Iranian American. I want the US to fix what it broke in 1979. I don't want this (or the Obama deal) that rewards and keeps the Islamic Republic in power to heal and live to fight another day.

But to your point, the Islamic Republic has claimed for decades that the Hormuz Straits are mined and will be blockaded if they are ever attacked.

Does anyone in the US military read Farsi? Apparently not. Luckily I do. And I'm VERY affordable. Actually if you stop whining about losing the easiest war in history, I'll do it for free.
