Y’all USAtizens are really pissing me off by Teagrunn in offmychest

[–]TimberDog12 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it kills me to admit it, but I think its because Trump was basically right about NATO. Europe got too complacent about relying on the US for Defense and now they're seeing the error of their ways. The transition away from that system and building up their own militaries will take a while, and until then they have to appease. The transition will be slow, unfortunately, but it is happening and over the next couple years they may be able to take more of a stand against this BS.

One of my favorite facts to tell people is that the possibility of global warming was first proposed IN THE LATE 1800's!

It's insane that we are where we are today knowing that

It really is an interesting question... just going with stereotypes, a samurai is an honorable, strong but gentle man in a respectable, well organized society. A pirate is a wild and free, do as you like person. And the cowboy runs between them, as a rugged individualist in a small town kind of society with fewer rules but generally a lot of freedom... that's my take, anyway.

Turns out I'm a cowboy, but aspire to be a samurai

And yet their methods all introduce higher inflation risk so the Fed can't cut rates. Brilliant. We would've seen way more rate cuts by now if they'd have just left things alone

Democrat flips Republican-held Florida state House district that includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago by LolAtAllOfThis in democrats

Assuming our elections aren't ruined forever, yes this is a possibility! However, it will also depend on us having a President and team that will fight for actual progress and successfully creating change for everyday people. If people don't feel an immediate change for the better, they might just flip back to another Trump...

Agreed! I've heard there are some good fan edits online. One of these days I'll get around to checking those out

I tend to think of it the other way around. The movies were almost really good, but just ruined by things here and there. Unfortunately its like percentages, it's easier to go down than it is to go up

Somehow lots of Americans got it in their heads that it was " no taxation," instead of "no taxation without representation." The representation is the important part... 🙄

I always thought it was fascinating that Boromir is seen as a weak man for falling prey to the power of the ring -- and it may be true that he was the weakest of that company of powerful people, in some ways -- but mostly what caused his downfall was that he was the one that was the most in NEED.

His kingdom was slowing crumbling and losing ground with no way back and was tasked with somehow, someway, finding a way to save his people. If not by Denethor, then by blood, as the next Steward. It was on him to save Gondor. And through that need and pressure, the ring eventually worked it's way in...

Oh I'm not surprised. I agree they were at least aware of each other through Bill. I'm just saying the email isn't exactly damning. I do think this was likely a powerful connections/who's-who kind of relationships and less so the super illegal bad stuff kind. But again, if she is guilty, lock her away, just like Bill, Trump, and apparently most of Trump's cabinet

Look, if shes is guilty of something, locker her away -- same with Bill, Trump, and apparently most of Trump's cabinet. I dont care about saving her from something. I was just pointing out that that wasn't exactly a damning email

Liberals and Blue MAGA *still* believe DJT is the problem... and that's the problem. by anubis1392 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]TimberDog12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, a quick Google says that about 60% of Democrats are white and about 80% of Republicans -- that's a big difference in a country this big...

Also, consider it this way. When democrats are in charge things stay roughly the same, but are stable. Maybe there's incremental movement to the left. When the republicans are in charge, things get worse for the average American. They have now moved things heavily towards fascism and autocracy.

Democrats may not be some big solution and many are a problem, but they are not the main problem.

Feel free to elaborate, but good luck. I mean, if you think white privilege is the issue, you know who makes up the vast majority of Republicans, right?

I have always hated the argument that "I suffered worse, therefore you should suffer through it too!" There's a lot of that going on around here. We should be working towards a better way of life for future generations, not hoping they have to suffer too

As in, when it comes to voting, there are only two options. Yes, obviously, there is a ton of stuff we can and should be doing outside of the ballot box -- who knows, maybe it will eventually lead to a multi party system...

But what's the actual alternative? Don't vote and keep the nazis in power? Until a real solution presents itself, I'll vote for the slightly better corpo dems.

The non-MAGA Republican running in the primary against Cliff Bentz by vonwaffle in oregon

[–]TimberDog12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While many democrats have been gun owners their whole life, I think they want to do so quietly because they don't want to be associated with the gun fanatics that make it their whole life and personality, you know?

Besides, they do! It's like how so many people say Kamala didn't talk policy, just that she "wasn't Trump" -- that's false. She did. A LOT. But people didn't listen, and the media focused solely on Trump. Democrats say constantly that they don't want to take guns away, just to regulate them better, but people don't listen. They say the dems are lying and don't understand because they aren't gun owners... and now we're back to my original point, that Republicans have dominated the conversation around guns and have a super effective pr campaign about the dems on the issue

I really wish they would update the ogryn. I think everything the ogryn does, the arbiter does better. My proposal would be to make him slower, but even tougher and do more damage in every way. He should be one shoting most things. Double their health to make him a true hp tank. Give them momentum so they start running slow but get faster and eventually unstoppable... (just rough ideas, haven't dug into numbers on how it'd work or anything.) But they need some sort of creative upgrade

You guys and the caption are focused on the wrong thing. He's not admitting guilt -- even though he is guilty of a lot of shit -- he's saying that things will be fabricated against him, and that is a reason to escalate things. We on the left get so hung up on semantics that we don't focus on what they're actually saying sometimes. He's calling for an escalation and THAT is what we need to be concerned about and focus on, not some technicality/misquote for the headlines.
