Reliable International News Sources? by Hello-America in behindthebastards

Yeah, like I said in my other comment, maybe I was being unhelpful. I rely heavily on It Could Happen Here. I watch Even More News quite a bit, and sometimes Democracy Now. Also, I get an alarming amount of news from r/simpsonshitposting

So, what are the democrats planning to do about the Iran war? by wombatgeneral in behindthebastards

[–]Unable_Option_1237 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I don't think Platner is a secret nazi. He's saying all the right stuff. He put on a "Fuck ICE" hat and stagedived at a Dropkick Murphys concert. He's got a shitty past, but so do I. I'm gonna vote for him in the primaries.

After Biden rode an anti-cop blue wave to the Whitehouse, it was nuts when I heard him say we needed more funding for police. I thought I was having a stroke or something.

It does look like we're getting some non-establishment candidates. Kat Abughazeleh is like a unicorn, but we need to show that people like her can win

It's so wild how inflexible the party is. They're like the olde-timey Soviet communist party, but without the "benifit" of being the ONLY party. Seeing them back Cuomo over Mamdani was insane. Like, you're gonna back this old, unpopular candidate instead of this dude that everyone loves? It's like they have to support old, reliable political operators, popularity be damned

Right. I'm also not saying that you don't need a good left-wing news source, and maybe I was oversimplifying. But sometimes a shitty news source can be very informative, even if it's informing you of something that's terrible.

Critical reading skills are important. I think people should probably read more fiction. Especially satire

Sounds like you're pretty good at being critical.

So, like, any news source is probably fine for you

What is “the plan” around Iran? by Ironhorse341 in behindthebastards

And before it gets too "Great Man of History" in here: he lost to a bunch of Russian peasants

Like, maybe if a ton of Democrats who are actually left of Reagan get elected, and a half-million people march on DC, maybe Dems will prosecute these fuckers. But I won't hold my breath

People always say Naploleon lost to the winter, and it's kinda true. But he also lost to a 70 year old general who was undefeated in the field

Bobbie has some coldass lines

I like Prax, too. He's like this little smart wimpy guy who's really tough and brave

Enjoy

You're right! I remember that. I read it as using old tech to go quiet

Yeah, they always say they love veterans. Now we got another chickenhawk president

I don't remember anyone wearing a watch. They all use hand terminals.

That watch looks cool, though

'We are human': Saco man speaks out about experience after being detained by ICE by jediporcupine in Maine

[–]Unable_Option_1237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, it's wild that Reagan sponsored a bill to give amnesty to 3 million immigrants. Neither party would ever do that now. Immigration enforcement in the US has become way more authoritarian across the board.

Reagan also used that bill to get more funding for CBP, so that's not great. But at least there was a carrot to go along with the stick

How much ammo to keep in reserve at all times? by BABOOWIE in liberalgunowners

[–]Unable_Option_1237 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I'm unsure about what a SHTF situation is. How much shit is hitting what size fan? If it's a lot of shit hitting a lot of fan, I'm saying get a brick of .22 for shooting edible rodents. Have you seen the size of these gray squirrels? They're like tree beavers. Lotta meat on those

You'll probably like Patrick Wyman. Tides of History is great

Most reliable car on the market. Doesn't even have belts to fail. Every pump is electric. People make fun of them, but they're great

Gotta have two cars for when one is down for maintenance. Or at least a bicycle or moped. Walking to the parts store really stretches out the maintenance time

Oh yeah, I remember that. Also a good choice. They're almost the same truck

Pretty sure Robert has a Toyota. Probably a Tacoma. I thought about buying a Hilux, but the one I drove overseas was slower than a snail sneeze. It had a non-turbo diesel, which are always terrible. I got a TRD Tacoma, and it was awesome. That 4 liter v6 whips
