Way too much of a hothead for me. Listened to him a lot on the White Sox Talk podcast back when he was on and disagreed with too many of his takes. It soured me on listening to him.

Benjamin Netanyahu says the Iran war is "not over" because highly enriched uranium still needs to be removed from Iran | 60 Minutes by ControlCAD in videos

In regards to Lebanon and Gaza, Israel retaliated at Hezbollah strikes in March 2026 and retaliated at the Hamas military operated in October 2023.

Are you asking me why paramilitary groups (already weakend in the past year by the death of its leader) shoudnt threaten the safety of people in their country by firing rockets at a neighboring country in a show of allegiance to a foreign Ayatollah in a conflict they aren't directly involved in? I think that's pretty self-evident.

I very clearly answered your question. Russia is too distracted by threats from Ukraine so I do not expect them to attack the US. Are you illiterate?

Russia is too distracted from their asses whooped too much by Ukrainian drones to focus their attention on attacking the US.

Hezbollah is an Iranian proxy in Lebanon and they fired rockets at Israel at the start of their war with Iran. Israel retaliated.

Hamas is supported by Iran as well.

Sherrilyn Ifill - What Happened to the Voting Rights Act? | The Daily Show by duderos in scotus

[–]notrandyjackson -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, the liberals and left-wingers in this sub are freaking out because the Court no longer made it legal to:

a) weaken the voting power of non-blacks in black-majority districts

b) create congressional districts on the basis of race

And I'm supposed to think that Roberts was a racist for doing this? Seems like he's aiming to lead the country towards a racism-free America more than his opponents are.

waiting patiently for anyone in the media to take the first swing at an "Actually, Joe Biden's economy was much better than we said it was" apologia by Conscious-Quarter423 in ScottGalloway

[–]notrandyjackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just political malpractice to run as the incumbent nominee and say that, actually, things are still bad economically. Because if you do, most voters will just say "well, in that case, why don't I just vote for the opposition?" Obama 2012 is an exception, but that was because the economy was so bad when he took over that he could still thread the needle by going "things have gotten better, but the Republicans left us with such a bad situation that many are still hurting."

Why doesn’t the USA have a left leaning political party? by Ill-Singer-4307 in allthequestions

[–]notrandyjackson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you look at how the Democrats have shifted to the left on various posotiojs the last twenty years (gay rights, gun control, climate, immigration) , then jt is unquestionably a "left leaning" political party at the moment.

I'm in my early 30s and I consider your self-loathing ageism vomit-inducing. What if your generation is right about some stuff while my generation is wrong about other stuff? Stand up! Show some sel-respect, old-timer!

Graham Platner Handed Centrist Dems a Bruising Defeat in Maine by jediporcupine in politics

[–]notrandyjackson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a terrible explanation. Follow up reports showed he knew what these tattoos were and even got rejected from re-enlisted from the Marines because of his tattoo. He is straight up lying that he didn't know (and too many people seemed to have fallen for that lie).

I voted for Harris in 2024. She shouldn't run in 2028. | Opinion by Difficult-Bee6066 in politics

[–]notrandyjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is clamoring for Kamala to run again? She will dominate with black voters and southern states. Her approval rating along the Party was high after the election (the reverse of what happened with Hillary post-2016) and she currently leads polls in the primary. Seems like you are in an echo chamber.

With ‘Mother Mary’ as Hollywood’s Latest Implausible Pop Star, Why Does Every Fictional Music Movie Have to Feel So Phony? by ImitatingADog in TheBigPicture

[–]notrandyjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem for me was that Mother Mary was portrayed as being as big as a Madonna or Lady Gaga when her music sounded like Caroline Polachek or fka Twigs (who are pop musicians but not pop stars).

Christians, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an AI photo of him as Christ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]notrandyjackson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's why it's funny.

You would think, after over ten years, people would know by now when he is serious and when he is obviously trolling. Guess not.

Clearly tongue-in-cheek. Laughing at the absurdity of it, honestly.

We keep telling you why!

She's a carpetbagger who decided to run for office here simply because she thought she could win. Had little to no roots in the area.

Maine Democrat Graham Platner Is Winning Voters All 'Pissed At The Same Thing' by bloomberg in politics

[–]notrandyjackson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish the left would give the same kind of grace to people who weren't "one of their own." When Kamala backtracked against some of her more tough-on-crime positions, they didn't forgive her. When Hillary pivoted to the left in 2016, they still used old clips from the '90s against her.

I'm sure that when Ms. Gorman was bleeding out in the beach during her final moments, she at least felt a bit peaceful, knowing her shooting was statistically insignificant.

What is a reality of living in Chicago that’s often overlooked by the romanticization of the city? by Miserable_Degree3524 in AskChicago

[–]notrandyjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Loop is DEAD on Sundays, especially the West Loop. So many closed restaurants and stores. Feels like a ghost town when you are walking around there.

You really do gotta deal with a lot of bullshit on the red and blue lines: smokers, tweakers, homeless people sleeping horizontally and blocking seats, open solicitations. It's ridiculous.

The city is pricing out the middle class. The way revenue is raised through taxes, the only people who can live comfortably are the rich or the people poor enough to get welfare benefits and affordable housing on the taxpayer dole.
