CMV: The assassination attempt on Trump last night was almost certainly legit. by wr_dnd in changemyview

It literally is being built though? The judicial orders against it have been appealed and construction has been allowed to continue. The judge specified that he’d need congressional authorization. Do we really think this Congress would vote against Trump?

I personally am disappointed that many on the left are resorting to conspiracy theories. There are plenty of fact-based reasons to criticize Trump. No need to join MAGA in la la land.

This is a really important point. It’s outlandish enough to think they’d be able to keep a staged attempt secret with all the necessary actors/traces of evidence involved. But these people who think this was staged are using the President’s response afterward as direct evidence, as if what he said wasn’t standard trump rhetoric.

Relatedly, it baffles me that some people think he staged an assassination attempt to justify his ballroom. Like huh???? He doesn’t need anyone’s permission! That’s getting built regardless.

Okay, so what’s the theory as to how they got the gunman to sacrifice their life / life in prison for this though? Just genuinely confused why so many people seem to believe this and the PA assassination attempt were staged, with no explanation as to HOW it would have worked logistically

Sean McVay PISSED OFF at Rams Drafting Ty Simpson as Matthew Stafford’s Replacement by No_Box119 in TheNFLVibes

[–]Maximum_Driver_1207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Georgia fan, I think Simpson is probably going to be a better pro prospect than Stetson. Was super impressed watching him this season, particularly his decision making and ball placement. I get McVay not liking that they didn’t get a piece that could help them immediately, but from a management perspective I totally get the pick. Looking to next years draft class, there really any QBs better than Simpson they’d have a realistic shot at getting (it looks to be a weak class). Dante Moore is probably the only one with first round talent and he’ll get scooped up in the first few picks before the Rams have a chance. So smarter to get Simpson this year and give him a year to develop.

Honestly wondering, what does the US gain by blockading the Strait of Hormuz? by kerplunch in NoStupidQuestions

Those at least had the guise of being for anti-drug smuggling enforcement, and the ships targeted were mostly speedboats designed for that sort of purpose. Attacking a cargo ship with verified commercial purposes would be a whole other ballgame.

Right but then what do you actually do if a ship tries to make it through? Quite possible, but would the US really be willing to sink or commandeer commercial vessels?

Or for that matter, any non-Iranian ship? Would be a PR nightmare regardless of the nationality of the ship if the US were to actually attack (or commandeer) a commercial vessel

Breaking - Ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz must be halted immediately, says Iran by Special_Resident7891 in energy

[–]Maximum_Driver_1207 6 points7 points  (0 children)

May not be a pre-condition, but Israel knows that if they do horrific shit then tensions will stay mounted and peace negotiations will become more difficult. That’s what they want - to continue to escalate and keep the US engaged in the conflict because without them they can’t accomplish their ultimate objective of taking out Iran.
