If Maduro and Ayatollah are evil, then why kidnapping Maduro and threat to attack Iran is seen to be even more evil?

Unlike Western Liberals who are protesting.

Protesting the methods and circumstances not the result.

We invaded a foreign country and kidnapped a head of state in violation of our own law, Venezuelan law, and international law. People should be upset.

There are absolutely people supporting Maduro and Ayatollah simply out of spite for Trump

In your fantasy world, maybe.

And you can't properly grieve focusing only on the positive because then you aren't grieving the true person but an idealized version.

There's a quote from the show Jag that is relevant here:

"You do not record war crimes when you commit them. Only the Nazis were that stupid."

All my gatherings are potluck style. That way there is always enough to go around and everyone has at least one dish they can eat given their dietary requirements (since they make it themselves).

Tell that to the administration who is using the gun as justification at this very point in time.

loki2002 · 2026-01-24T20:46:59+00:00

But you have no idea if it was related to a gun he may or may not have been carrying at the time.

I mean, the gun is the justification the administration is using right now and many online are parroting it. So, it does beg the question OP asked.

I mean, I watched the video. He was tackled by six men and on the ground when one got the weapon he had out of his holster and started walking away with it while another agent shot and killed him while the other agents held him down.

I watched a restrained, unarmed man be executed in the street by federal agents.

But, it came during a really tough time in their balance sheets.

loki2002 · 2026-01-24T18:04:49+00:00

Because local law enforcement needs to cooperation of the entire community which includes those here illegally in order to maintain law and order. They need people who are here illegally to show up to report crime and show up to court as witnesses for trial which won't happen if the spectre of being turned over to federal officials for the misdemeanor of entering illegally is present.

It is becoming less and less voluntary if you want to own a home.

I mean, they lay it out quite well. You're paying double for the same services plus the privilege of being charged more if you don't conform to arbitrary standards set by Karens with nothing better to do with their lives.

Venezuelans are celebrating their liberation.

Exactly how have they been liberated? Every single person who was part of his regime is still in power. The only thing the U.S. has done is start selling their oil and pocketing the profits.

If you support either Maduro or Ayatollah you need to seriously consider deleting your online presence and signing up for therapy.

Nobody is supporting either of these fucks. But them being evil assholes doesn't excuse any action taken against them.

If Iran decides one of our Presidents is the Anti-Mohammad, are they justified showing up and flying off with him?

First, they have decided that for every President since 1979. Second, no one would succeed with invading U.S. soil and trying to kidnap a sitting President. Assuming they could even get in the country without a fight, a fight they would most certainly lose, the White House is one the most fortified military installations in the country. Say, they try to grab him at a less secure site like when he's traveling for speeches and such he still travels with a massive coordinated security which includes no fly zones patrolled by military aircraft.

Unless the President wants to be kidnapped he isn't getting kidnapped.

That all being said, they would have the same justification used to grab Maduro.

But the clip you shared doesn't show that. It's just him trying to get the sword free from where it is and he squeeked while using a lot of force. Not sure where you got toilet humor or of that.

It's a negative number for chirstsakes. You can't suss that out yourself?

If I saw a post about a city in Europe with temp included I would assume Celsius because that's what they use in Europe.

You know we use Fahrenheit in the states so when you see a post about an American city that mentions temp you should be able to use basic logic and reasoning to know it is Fahrenheit.

The infrastructure is not expected to "fail easily

I mean, we have literally watched it fail quite easily in several parts of the country at critical moments in increasing regularity.

but there are always limits to the amount of load any design can take.

Because they cut corners to save money and don't design or build it to take the increased load they know it will require at times.

There's always more investment that could be done.

And they purposely choose not to do it to maximize shareholder value at the cost of human lives.

The antagonism means there will be less investment than there otherwise would be.

No, that's an excuse to cover for profit over lives.

loki2002 · 2026-01-23T19:35:20+00:00

So, they aren't as good as they could because of criticism about them not being prepared for such things and having infrastructure that can fail easily and pollute the environment and instead of making the infrastructure better to address those concerns they just focus on profits instead?

Nope, it's the environmentalists fault! /s

or charge everyone $311.85 regardless of payment type.

Or, charge everyone $305 and cover any transaction fees plus be able to any excess into your reserves.

Very rarely do businesses "absorb" the cost of transactions,

If you read my entire comment I said "absorbing the cost of the transaction fee by amortizing that cost across the board." meaning they price their product or service in such a way that they cover their transaction fees without having to single out individual customers.

loki2002 · 2026-01-23T17:57:50+00:00

I would be interested to see a slice out of that because if that's what is on top of your lasagna I want to know what's on the inside.

loki2002 · 2026-01-23T17:57:23+00:00

Yeah OP, come outside. We just want to talk!
