I see that on here a fair amount recently. The insults towards 88 are off the chain IMO.

I've never come close to calling any poster here an idiot. Why is that ok?

I dont really care that somebody like them would call me an idiot. I care about the moderating double standard taking place here.

I am not a fan of this answer at all. The correct answer is it will end when we achieve our objectives. Of course, who knows what those objectives really are?

---

With Trump, I'd say the objective is a four week war.

---

The wars with Iraq and Afghanistan were supposed to be clean, decisive and brief too.

The Afghanistan War was never supposed to be clean, decisive, and brief. The American people were committed to doing what it took there. But then GWB, Cheney, and the Republicans refocused to Iraqi oil mid-fight causing 2 quagmires supported by the same people who support war in Iran today.

You mean the insults towards me right considering my teaching was called into question multiple times in just this thread and nothing was done about it. I'm not complaining just stating there isn't the double standard you perceive.

You've more than come close to calling people idiots and so has Wags who actually has called all Trump voters the dumbest people alive, in many different wordings, many times.

Again I'm not complaining but there's no double standard.

These are all quotes of yours, only went back two weeks so I'm sure there's worse:

"THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE INTELLIGENT MAGAs, AND HE'D DUMB AF"

"Earthly scum"

"Losers with loser logic"

"Speaking of which, where is Kirk's gravesite? I want to visit after slamming a sixer"

"Petulant so early in the day"

And for the record - my son will be an adult soon and I promise you all our whole family would be living in Europe before I let him get dragged into one of Trump's Epstein Wars.

With regard to Afghanistan:









When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!
-Rudyard Kipling, The Young British Soldier (1895)

I don't love him saying it in that way, even though we all know that to be a possibility of military action.

Make no mistake, this attack has little to due with a nuclear threat let alone an "imminent" threat.

Just like Venezuela.
It was never about drugs.

It's all about REGIME CHANGE.

Two to four weeks depending on how bad the oil spike and stock market is. Fortunately he doesn't care about democracy or freedom in Iran, only how much Miriam Adelson pays, but that doesn't include a bad economy

Now why the hell is Iran lashing out?

Only the United States could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military and topple its government, and then call that country's retaliation against US military bases "unprovoked". https://t.co/FuwQwfMopJ

Trump says the U.S. identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial airstrikes.

Right, because Europe is so immune from war.

Then there is the part about your son being in the military. As if anyone in your family would fit the profile.

As for a prolonged war, the Chinese smartly don't fight wars that are not near their borders. Russia has its own problems. What military force do you see preventing Iran from being bombed into the stone age over the next few months? The US' capacity to quickly level areas with conventional weapons is way far beyond what Israel did to Gaza. Your son has nothing to worry about if the Mullah's don't come around quickly. The Iranian military will just take over the county rather than get decimated.

Edit: while the concept of a long military action seems unfounded, there are conceivably some legitimate concerns related to consequences from this US military action. I don't know what the government knew about Iran, but I have major reservations being the world policeman.

Second edit: France, Italy and Great Britain now offering to help bomb Iran. Has the family considered Greenland maybe?

How is this not a suspension? Seriously

How do you know he did not get one? Have you seen any recent posts from him?

I didn't see that particular post until now. (Remember the any number of times I've said I won't see things unless it is flagged and things don't get pushed to me unless it's flagged twice? More trust and less complaining about bias, please). I will deal with that post…

cringe worthy. Why would you ever admit that in public? In the "good old days," the CIA would already have the hand-picked successor in place by now.

Yes, it's true. I'm very critical of MAGA types. At least I stopped calling them MAGAts a few weeks ago.

People change, thankfully the insults you noted were not directed to individual posters on this board.

And nobody has lived it less.

"THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE INTELLIGENT MAGAs, AND HE'D DUMB AF"

Considering you're calling all MAGA dumber than dumb af, yeah it is directed at people on this board.

That's an absurd argument.
Truly absurd.

For example, I think Philly fans are disgusting people.
But that's not aimed at anyone specifically.

Meanwhile, the guy that you defend 24/7 has targeted Federal Judges with his HATE SPEECH which has put their lives and their children's lives at risk with death threats from his MAGA supporters.

Get a thicker skin.

Like you always say in your pm's to me, "It's just a message board bro"

Yes it is, it's aimed at Philly fans.

If I said anyone who lives in the Diablo Valley is disgusting, people who live in the Diablo Valley would be who it's aimed at. I'm not offended by it or anything someone says on this board but to argue that it isn't directed at the people you're speaking about is not a factual statement

Lol I don't really think you want to bring up private messages considering what you say to me
