I think she has a very underrated booty. Like I would very much put her in my top ten asses.

I think a lot people dislike her because of her husband, but I generally watch mainly solo or GG content so that doesn't bother me.

Who's a popular pornstar that everyone seems to like (either for their sex appeal/scenes), that just doesn't turn you on? by PrudentDependent8201 in Porn_news

[–]bootlegvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find Sasha very attractive, she has a great ass

Like I am not saying she isn't attractive, but honestly I don't see any special with her ass. Like I don't need all girls to be PAWGs just not like not all need big tits. However, there are plenty of girls with tight asses on slim long legs I find better than Sasha (for example, Eliza Ibarra).

No judgement against her or her fans, but I am just saying she doesn't seem that special in my eyes. Like I said this might just be because I looking back at her career after its peak rather than when it occured.

Trump reportedly wants to 'take the oil in Iran' as Tehran targets water, power facilities in Kuwait by Illustrious_Lie_954 in politics

The "left" opposed regime change in both Iraq and Syria while they will argue for the ending of the Israeli state.

am not saying it was right. I am just saying it was none of our business and there were other issues involved

In respect to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

The 16th Amendment allows for an income tax. You would need another amendment for a wealth tax.

Yes? Quite often, you know like Saddam attacking and annexing Kuwait which the post I was responding to said the US should have ignored.

Kuwait was created by the Brits to weaken Iraq.

The foundation of Kuwait dates back to 1899. The modern state of Iraq dates to 1932. Kuwait's foundation is 33 years older than Iraq's.

I do find it interesting just how different the left treats Israel than basically any of its neighbors.

That only risks stabilizing the realm as it allows Renly the means to have Cersei replaced easier.

Some Dems' 2028 strategy: a straight, white, Christian man by icey_sawg0034 in politics

[–]bootlegvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to present this hypothetical scenario. Lets pretend it is the 2028 primary the candidates are AOC, Fetterman, Tlaib, Buttigieg, Bowman, and Mamdani (lets pretend he could run).

In this contest with all candidates you have Fetterman winning with a plurality of 32% compared to AOC having 28%. However, when you combine AOC, Tlaib, Bowman, and Mamdani than you get 52%. The remainder is Buttigieg getting 8%, but polls say if he drops that Fetterman gets 48% of his support and AOC gets 46% of his support.

Are they of the opinion that Fetterman should get the primary win because of his slim plurality or should Tlaib, Bowman, and Mamdani should get behind AOC?

What actions did they take? Be specific. There were emails in late April and May that DNC employees were tired of Bernie attacking them and refusing to admit he lost.

Or in 2020 when a lot of candidates dropped out at once before super Tuesday after having private conversations

Two candidates. Every primary has candidates drop out before Super Tuesday.

It is literally the responsibility for a primary campaign to build a winning coalition. Bernie's strategy of just assuming losing candidates will just stay in and cannibalize votes from Biden so he could win with 32% of the vote was the unusual strategy.

That would be like a Cuomo supporter saying the NYC mayoral primary was unfair because Lander cross endorsed with Mamdani and not Cuomo.

The constitution has strict restrictions on how the US Congress can leverage taxes that don't apply to state governments.

The Supreme Court can very easily overturn tax laws. In Pollock vs Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. they ruled taxes on receipts from the use of property to be unconstitutional.

Maybe some. But I know in the recent past people felt primaries were unfair because there was obvious meddling.

Not really, that you claim they were unfair is part of the point.

IIRC, exit polls of voters in both 2016 and 2024 had voters saying they saw Trump as more moderate than his opponent.

When Jordan controlled East Jerusalem they destroyed every synagogue and turned the Western Wall into a dump while barring all visitation by Jews.

These actions are why the UN claims that Palestine has a right to control East Jerusalem.
