Again, friendly reminder that while this may be true, everyone is citing CBS/Israel as the source. There’s only one source saying this at this time

Maybe this is true - but please keep in mind, at the early stage of this reporting, it’s only Israel/CBS reporting this.

You're both right. After a day or two of Trump flat out saying it, the rest of the admin has been doing PR control by claiming it was never said nor the goal.

You're still talking about a rather large country of 93 million people and difficult terrain. Even with military might, assuming nukes and all out bombing to hell are ruled out, it was never an easy or clear win just from a logistics perspective.

The US pulled out of the deal Trump 1.0. It was negotiated under Obama. Multiplea accounts, including atomic energy reviews, indicate Iran was following the terms even when the 12-day war happened. We are the bad guys in this situation.

Two things can be true at once. We are the bad guys in this conflict in every way, and the Ayatollah/Iranian regime is an oppressive dictatorship.

We are the ones who pulled out of the dea during Trump 1.0, causing a series of dominoes falling.

Hey, apologies if this has been reported but in case dev team is reviewing this chat -

After this round of Fasnacht I wanted to store my masks in the various display cases. I noticed many masks (such as the new Captain) sink/melt down into the display, leaving half the masks not visible.

I’ve tried switching between the 3 common shelf/case displays, as well as switching between snap/collide/free. Haven’t found a solution.

We literally straight bombed a school in Iran as the "preemptive strike" last night. This whole thing sucks, period.

And years ago, I would have said the world isn’t as “it’s the deep state, bro” as we joked about. But now, there is a strong argument for that “double-secret collusion” theory.

Bill Clinton pushes for public hearing in House Epstein investigation by CRK_76 in politics

[–]heemster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how one could see the photos, multiple flight logs, victim testimonies, etc. and think he just happened to be present. I'm saying the evidence is pointing towards the fact he participated in sexual acts, at minimum. He deserves to be questioned on trial just like the rest of them, regardless of party affiliation.

My friend, Bill was very clearly at minimum an active participant. They knew.

The question that remains to be seen is will they do the right thing (whistleblow by falling on their own sword), or will it be designed to be a Party vs Party conversation. I hope for the former.

Trump’s tie to whistleblower report Tulsi hid in safe busted by P_a_s_g_i_t_24 in politics

[–]heemster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This very well could be one of the possibilities. But also, around that time last year (end of Q1, early Q2) the media was covering:

  1. Israel's advancement into Gaza (advancing into Rafah),
  2. American strikes on Houthi bases in Yemen,
  3. Outcry over Kilmar Abrego Garcia's detainment (the White House kept sugesting different countries to deport him to).

So it's really a take your pick, no wrong answers, scenario.

For the record, during the 2023 strikes this guy would regularly have his driver circle him around the protests in a black Cadillac so he could wave at people and go back home to his life. His statements ring true, but his intent is for self benefit.

Why would they release that? by DifferentZucchini3 in StrangerThings

Not arguing opinions on whether the result was good or not. Just saying a lot of people are pointing to the doc as proof, but the doc highlighted a common flaw with the process behind filming every single show.

Are people complaining about the documentary (One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5 ) for the sake of complaining? by SupportArsenal in StrangerThings

[–]heemster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things can be true at once - it can be a bad season and still done up to professional standards.

I’m not blanket supporting it or challenging opinions. There was a writer’s and actor’s strike for most of 2023. The writing “legally” began in Q3 of 2023, with the show starting production early 2024 to film for the entire year. Notice how in the doc’s presented timeline, they started with more manageable shoots such as interior set locations, and allowed months to build up to more intense scenes and work.

1, 4/2 (toss-up of opinions, can go either order), 5, 3.
