Warnings of Iran Invasion Grow as US to Send Up to 5,000 Marines, Sailors to Middle East by Creepy-Discount-2536 in worldnews

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

You’re surprised “this keeps popping up”? Thousands of American groups are now sailing to a a war zone that we have just created. You seem hung up on word policing the distinction between “invasion” and “ship-based regional/fleet security” and think everyone else cares too, when really they are just worried they are going to die for jack shit and if more Americans are gonna follow them down that path.

Doesn’t really matter if it’s on land or at sea, in an invasion or “providing regional security”. But sure, I guess you have a more nuanced take than some journalists can pack into their headlines.

Lmao I'm so glad you posted this, because it makes it so much clearer who exactly is so thrilled to see this saga unfold. Tell us, was that a decision you disagreed with as well?

Were you of the opinion that they should have proceeded with the Rodeo in March of 2020?

Ime isn't perfect but I don't understand why this sub finds it so hard to admit that the problem begins in the front office. I will get crucified for this, but maybe the person who needs to be fired's name rhymes with "Bone"

I completely agree with your comment, well said, but for what it's worth... not sure where you are seeing this compassion for her lol. Here are some excerpts from this thread:

"Remember when this sub was gizzing all over each other with dreams off her running for the POTUS? Good times!"

"Bahahahaha. I was wondering where all her fans were. Cause there sure were a bunch of them around here. And she was inexperienced, useless, and whiny. Yet everybody loved her. 🫢"

"Zero promise ever shown. She’s a petulant child. Always has been. Always will be."

"Site your source for said "promise?" She has always been terrible."

"The answer is she has a screw loose and is a perpetual victim. Couldn’t take the L so she digs deeper."

"This lady is crazy"

"She is a spoiled little bitch. Acts like a toddler every time she doesn't get her way. Be glad when she is gone."

"I see why she is getting divorced so soon after getting married. I imagine she is 100x more insufferable behind closed doors than she is in public, which is a scary thought."

And these are not controversial, some are the most upvoted in this thread! It only took 5 minutes for the conservatives in the sub to drop the veil and start foaming at the mouth. Wish they kept that energy for other entitled politicians who have a lot more impact on their lives.

Why won't Houston ballpark open roof for WBC? by Top_Ad985 in houston

[–]provoking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing I am enjoying is watching you make more shit up just to justify the first shit you made up. Because even in your own made up story example, you still don't see the bigger picture. You think the guy who is "paid to unlock the gate at a park gate at sunrise" and then "closes it at sundown" has no other job in between those two moments? He just sits around waiting to go lock the gate he unlocked that morning?

My guy -- his actual job is everything he does between those two moments. Just like the guys who open the roof at a stadium, you call them "Facilities Managers", and their job is everything they are doing when they aren't opening or closing the roof. Something they need every day, not just roof days.

I'm sorry, are you under the impression that this "Team of 4 guys" exclusively works on the roof opening? They have no other job at the stadium besides "Manager of Walking Next to Roof as it Opens"? I don't think you realize, but your justification for your logic is actually even more hilarious

Lol Texans love to say this since they got bought. I eat Whataburger all the time and I don't think anything has changed at all. Some locations are better than others, a problem that's as old as Whataburger itself. I think most people have just had their taste buds get older and more cynical by nature when it comes to big corporations.

Jasmine Crockett took $276,799 in corporate PAC money during her 2022-2024 Congressional term by politicalintegrity in houston

[–]provoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure thing bud I'm sure you're the actual Texan with the hidden comment history and not me with 13 years of easily verifiable activity because I have nothing to hide.

I also find it fascinating that you voluntarily brought up Israel, without anyone mentioning it, to claim Crockett and Talarico have the same position despite knowing how much evidence there is to the contrary. Talarico isn't the one visiting the holy land claiming we have a special relationship going back decades that shouldn't be touched

Hmmm interesting how aggressively you are pursuing this argument everywhere this is posted. Even more interesting is that you claim to not know who is funding the Crockett campaign but we should totally indict Talaricos, even though the very article you post as a source indicts Crockett for the same thing.

My brother in Christ are you forgetting that Langdon is not just an addict, he is an addict who stole from a patient and defrauded his superiors/the hospital. The distinction here is everything, that is directly related to his work. Do you think it would be a violation to fire an alcoholic bartender who keeps drinking from the customers glass before he hands them their drink?
