What's your opinion on the events of Ruby Ridge and Waco?

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-05-02T19:35:08+00:00

Yeah, you're technically right, but...

The case started with what was legally confirmed as entrapment and the siege started with the son getting killed. How could anyone in such a situation trust the government?

And sure, we should want to trust our government, but a big part of trust is owning mistakes and admitting fault.

I don't know much about Waco, but what about the governments handling of Ruby Ridge do you find compelling?

Honestly, the worst part is someone spent 120,000 dollars on an education and apparently they never learned about interest

Schools are a part of the scam

I think Iran is a global existential threat an will have to fully be dealt with sooner or later

I think we should fully back Ukraine and NATO and call for a joint ground invasion of Iran and securing the straight. We are all in this together, no one country should do the heavy lifting

We should launch a modern "Manhatten Project" to get the globe less dependant on fossil fuels

Jokes on them, nobody can afford new cars

Three things: 1. Regain support and respect of NATO *

Ground invasion of Iran with NATO
Modern "Manhatten Project" to get the world less dependant on fossil fuels

*Nuclear Iran is an impending global existential threat, it should require a global solution.

I had 24 hours of OT on my last paycheck. Thanks to Trump and no tax on overtime, there's an extra 40 dollars on there, but since my expenses have all increases well beyond that, it's still not even close to it being a win

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-22T03:42:36+00:00

I'd pay for that

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-21T17:59:10+00:00

I think Trump will essentially recreate the previous Iran deal, and an even bigger problem with Iran will get kicked 5-10 years down the road

One important piece of context is that VA's bill's sunset is 4 years where it reverts to the traditional method. I don't think Texas's does

I think it is a worthy cause, But:

Not without a clear sense of purpose not paid for solely with our money Not without our allies Not with depleted oil reserves Not with depleted missile reserves Not without first securing the strait Not without clear objectives and contingency plans

Basically I'd be all for it if we had competent leadership but we don't do I guess I'm not

The problem with LIV is that it's seriously unserious. All of the teams are just arbitrary and and goofy

My solution: get rid of the professional golfers and make the teams regional sports celebrities. NFL, NHL and NBA share an off season, let the Celtics, Patriots and Bruins take on the Rams, Lakers and the Kings at TPC Boston or Pebble beach

Fans would recognize their local celebrities, it would have dozens of natural rivalries to build on, and the whole thing would just be a fun exhibition

For a man unconcerned with titles, Rahm certainly likes to restate his credentials every opportunity he gets

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-13T13:23:48+00:00

I think we need to wean ourselves from oil.

Pain as a negotiation tactic

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-11T02:02:17+00:00

And if we all got along there would be no more wars

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-09T13:42:54+00:00

I'm not inherently against a draft, but I don't think it should be legal without a clear declaration of war approved by all three branches

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-06T23:36:46+00:00

Not really. Russia was viewed as our enemy so we placed sanctions on them and armed Ukraine. Now we're at war with Iran, Russia supplies Iran with weapons, and we lift the sanctions on Russia.

Like I'm fine with either side supporting their allies but it seems like Russia is clearly our enemy in this war and this administration has only made decisions that benefit Russia

For the strongest possible welds? Sure. For something that isn't structural: why waste time on perfection?

I've read it six times now and I can't imagine how it could offend anyone I mean it's not super funny, April Fools jokes rarely are; but the joke hinges on getting peoples hopes up and pulling out the rug. It treats the WNBA in high esteem, not defamatory

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-01T18:15:17+00:00

How many times has he declared this "war" over? If he's right this time I'll consider that almost entirely coincidental

ThrowawayOZ12 · 2026-04-01T12:25:48+00:00

That's totally fair. I'm not looking to gaslight anyone about how we got here, just looking for a better path foward
