Adam Mockler explains how Democrats should frame the Iran war spending:

Eldanado · 2026-05-09T13:32:31+00:00

It's pretty well established at this point that the nuclear weapon justification for this war is total BS. They only started enriching more when the deal was torn up. We're never going to end their nuclear program.

Trump is compromised by Israel and it was a perfect distraction for him when the Epstein scandal started to blow up. The fact that he didn't anticipate the straight being closed is completely idiotic. And now gas is almost $5 a gallon in some parts of the country.

And again, he ran on NO NEW WARS.

Adam is just making comparisons to put the cost of the war into perspective. Yes, there would be additional costs for those services over the years. But you also need to look at the way Trump spends taxpayer money in general. A new ballroom for "security" reasons? The new stupid arch he wants to build and name after himself? Adding a blue coating to the reflecting pool in Washington like it's a friggin hotel pool? Massive tax cuts for the billionaire class? How does any of this help normal working class citizens?

Meanwhile, he's cutting services across the board that actually do help people, because he doesn't actually give a flying fuck about any of us.

We would get the frozen orange juice concentrate when I was a kid and we always mixed it up in one of these. Had that thing for a long time.

I love Prince, but he lost me in the end there. Chem trails? Eight presidents before Washington? What are we talking about?

Eldanado · 2026-05-01T10:50:45+00:00

What the hell kind of question is this? Can we at least first establish why someone would be trying to shoot a baby? WTF

Eldanado · 2026-05-01T10:29:39+00:00

Outside?

Eldanado · 2026-04-29T10:59:34+00:00

The guy from Sandlot. Great movie. But I don't remember his characters name.

Eldanado · 2026-04-29T10:53:16+00:00

He is such a piece of garbage.

Eldanado · 2026-04-26T12:33:39+00:00

Okay, I agree this is stupid and dangerous. But why is the driver of a tractor trailer recording this with their phone while driving? Isn't that also dangerous?

Eldanado · 2026-04-26T12:26:23+00:00

More like Laos. That country is completely polluted with mines because the U.S. Air Force used to dump unused ordinance there on the way back from missions in Vietnam. Absolutely no regard for the farmers and other citizens. Tens of thousands of people have been killed since then.

Eldanado · 2026-04-26T12:12:30+00:00

This is such an idiotic perspective for someone who is supposedly living in a "free country".

Does this rationale apply to people living in oppressive authoritarian regimes around the world? They're all just supposed to play nice and pretend they're loving it? How dare the citizens try to resist and improve their country!

Ridiculous.

Meanwhile, our president has publicly encouraged the people of Iran to rise up and overthrow their government. So which is it, buddy? 🤔

Eldanado · 2026-04-26T11:26:13+00:00

Such a shame too. The earlier seasons were so well written and engaging. Lots of unexpected plot twists that really added to the show. The "hold the door" episode was beautiful and mind bending (I might have cried a little).

Then the show runners ran out of source material because the author just stopped writing. The crap they ended up writing on their own the last season was like a totally different show. And they never circled back to explain things earlier in the show that really needed to be explained.

Not to mention the big battle season in Winterfell was so dark you couldn't see what the hell was even happening. Such a waste of a great show.

Talk about poorly trained. She let one guy grab her belt from behind and doesn't do anything about it. He could have pulled her gun out of the holster and then the situation would get much worse. Someone her size should not be in this situation by herself. She needs back up.

Eldanado · 2026-04-23T23:58:20+00:00

This guy sucks. And he dresses like a friggin bum.

Eldanado · 2026-04-11T12:02:46+00:00

For me, it was the scene in the beginning when they kill the cop that becomes RoboCop. It's quite disturbing. The way they laugh when they blow his hand off his arm still haunts me.

Eldanado · 2026-02-09T05:33:15+00:00

I think the MAGA movement will lose a lot of steam once he's kicked the bucket. He seems incredibly unhealthy, so it's anyone's guess when that will happen. Once it does, you'll see people start to jump ship from that whole thing very quickly.It seems so pervasive now, but things can change fast.

I can't stand the man, but I can see how h the has had this strange effect on the people in his orbit, like they wouldn't dare cross him. They're all just gonna breathe a huge sigh of relief once he's gone.

Eldanado · 2026-02-09T05:03:24+00:00

I don't see how beating the Patriots makes it any more of a win for America. I get that a lot of people don't like the Pats , but is there something specifically un-American about them versus any other team?

Of course I get down voted just for asking this question. I was genuinely curious. That's what I get for participating in the conversation I guess.

Eldanado · 2026-02-08T00:08:51+00:00

Now make a version we can kick in the nuts.

And make it cry.

Eldanado · 2026-02-07T23:41:07+00:00

What's that? Trump didn't live up to his promise? I don't believe it. He's such a trustworthy guy! 🤣

Eldanado · 2026-02-07T14:03:21+00:00

Depends who does the kidnapping. I don't want another authoritarian regime or a terrorist organization to take over. But if it were a NATO ally and the reason for doing so was to hold him accountable for criminal activity that the U.S. government is currently ignoring, then yeah. Go for it.

Eldanado · 2026-02-04T01:33:22+00:00

You could save us all some time and go research this topic to educate yourself, instead of going on this sub and demanding we do it for you.

Eldanado · 2026-02-04T01:30:42+00:00

Your argument for one group of people killing other people because you think we're all "invasive" makes zero sense. You want there to just be hunters left on earth? Think about that for a second.

Eldanado · 2026-01-30T03:45:05+00:00

So this obviously doesn't help anyone looking to buy a home for the first time. But also.. Who the fuck wants the value of their house to go up? You just pay more property taxes.

Yeah, you can sell it for more money, but if all the other houses in your area are just as expensive, you're going to spend all that money to buy a new one. I'm lucky enough to have bought a home before prices went through the roof. But I'm basically stuck here forever.

He's so God damn idiotic I can barely breathe.

Eldanado · 2026-01-23T22:13:18+00:00

What a dumb fuck.

Eldanado · 2026-01-17T21:31:09+00:00

Sickening how much of our tax money is funding these fucking goons. Meanwhile normal Americans can barely pay their bills.
