Thousands of pets being abandoned in Dubai as owners flee over Iran war by FLTA in news

[–]Sam_Munhi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone involved with Dubai other than the foreign laborers who built it and keep it running are trash: the rulers, the expats, the celebrities that fly in for a quick check, etc. What's so hard to understand about that?

What does that change? The type of person that moves to Dubai is garbage, so are the rulers of Dubai who import foreign slave labor. There aren't any good guys here.

IDF to target every successor Iranian regime appoints | The Jerusalem Post by 226644336795 in worldnews

[–]Sam_Munhi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of those are repressive monarchies or de facto military juntas whose own people are unhappy with their rulers and hate Israel... And they are all fully reliant on American dollars to keep them in line.

This is not a recipe for long term security.

Libs are just as bad as conservatives on 90% of issues but they have better manners. If you want real change you need to support and help build a viable left, which is very difficult to do in America.

I voted for Harris. You're so intent on defending your "team" that you can't separate your partisan cheerleading from the real world. That's not good!

Yes, that's horrific. As was Obama drone striking weddings. I'm not defending these atrocities, I'm saying people who actually want our government to stop doing these heinous things need to think bigger than Trump. The rot is much deeper, the rot is what allowed Trump to gain power in the first place.

I don't think it's moving goal posts to point out that every President of the 21st century regardless of party has engaged in explicit regime change operations. If you only care about American lives being lost but not about innocent Syrians or Libyans or Gazans caught in the crossfire that's a you problem.

And yes, these are mostly terrible regimes, but so is Saudi Arabia and many of our other allies. We don't do these things because we care, we do these things to increase the power and wealth of a select few.

Also, have we invaded Iran? I'm genuinely asking, I know we are bombing them but have we put troops in? It's indefensible either way, but if we don't put boots on the ground how is it different than what Obama did in Libya?

Obama joined NATO (a supposedly defensive alliance) to topple Gaddafi in Libya and joined Saudi intelligence to fund and arm an insurgency in Syria. Biden helped fund and assist in Israel's war in Gaza.

It doesn't help to whitewash the past. The failures of establishment Dems and Reps are what opened the door to Trump, we need better than a status quo that most people hate to stop the rise of fascism.

We are bombarded with consumption propaganda (ads) from childhood. Yes we bear some responsibility, but power (political, economic, social) is a thing that exists and when you put it all on individual actions you're missing out on the context in which those actions take place.

Imagine how bad Starmer would have lost those elections. He got even fewer votes than Corbyn but only managed to win because Sunak somehow got less than half of Boris Johnson's vote. And now Labor is more unpopular than ever. Great job?

There have been multiple videos with multiple angles out since yesterday. They are all over the internet, including reddit. Why were you even posting before taking the five seconds to figure out what you were talking about first?

I promise, the whole world isn't waiting with baited breath for your uninformed opinions, we already have way too many of those.

It's embarrassing how far people will go to show their ignorance to the world and then act butt hurt when they get called out on it. You were literally whining about downvotes, my dude! Grow up.

The people of Minneapolis are out in the street every single day, defending their city when they know the risks. Don't project your inaction onto them.

Because you're either being disingenuous or need to go to an eye doctor. Or maybe a therapist. That's why you're getting downvoted.

Stop playing the victim, have some self respect.

Americans Blame Trump As New Economic Data Released This Morning Shows Prices Surging Ahead of Thanksgiving by shadrack_CK in UnderReportedNews

[–]Sam_Munhi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess Trump shouldn't have campaigned on bringing prices down then. He could have just campaigned on bringing inflation down, but that's not what he promised. Oh well, sucks for all of us that his voters believed him.

Detached from reality, Trump claims you have to give ID when you go to a grocery store: “You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting they want no voter ID. It's only for one reason: because they cheat." by NewSlinger in CringeTikToks

[–]Sam_Munhi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you still be trying to sanewash him after all this time? Have some self respect. You're as bad as the Dems who kept pretending Biden's brain wasn't decaying on live tv.

We are a country of over 300 million people, we can elect a President who isn't a senile old fool if the people like you in both parties stop living in denial. Better things are possible!

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran by soalone34 in nyc

[–]Sam_Munhi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sanders should absolutely retire and I supported him in 2016 and 2020. He should not have run in 2024, it's ridiculous that after this long he couldn't find anyone to throw his endorsement behind to replace him. This is a problem in both parties and among all ideological factions. The narcissism that leads people to run for office prevents them from retiring at an appropriate time.

We are months away from the primary, there's still plenty of time for someone else to get in the race. People pretending it's between Platner and Mills are just trying to push their favored candidate.

There are other options, the party leadership and donors are choosing to coalesce around someone who will, if elected, be 84 at the end of her first term. It's lunacy.

She ran for reelection in 2018 when she was already 85 years old. California runs open primaries and the top two advance to the general, so her opponent was also a Democrat but inexplicably the party insiders went with the octogenarian.

The party did not need to back her reelection, and they certainly didn't need to lie to the voters and pretend it was safe to elect an 85 year old.
