So, somewhere in its code there’s a line for, “What would Elon say”.

Right on time.

“If you truly want to be considered “tolerant”, you should also embrace intolerance.”

TLDR.

I love how the Constitution means nothing at this point, and how Conservatives have completely abandoned any pretext of following it.

Thieves in the US will just pull a gun on you and turn it into a robbery. It’s simply safer for them to come out of the gate with you at an obvious disadvantage.

Can you draw your weapon before they can pull their trigger? Go ahead, punk. Make my day.

If they aren’t letting them in due to “safety concerns”, then the facility obviously isn’t “safe” for anyone.

This is basically how urinals work, so why not?

Do these come with carbide tips?

It’s also the ultra rich that decide whether or not solutions are worth pursuing. And it seems like they’ve decided not to bother anymore.

And the Western World has basically given up trying to do anything about it, at this point. They’re all-in on fossil fuel production again, with no signs of slowing down.

I think if you need to physically touch someone in order to even know if they’re wearing a bra…then it doesn’t matter.

Yes, they would…insofar as defense is concerned. They won’t necessarily aid the US in acts of aggression or escalation, but they will absolutely defend US forces in the region. But, just to be clear…Israel is not a NATO member…so as far as Article 5 is concerned, they are not an obligation, the way the US is. If the US chooses to step in on their behalf, NATO is not required to get involved.

This would be similar to what happened after 9/11. NATO all came to the US’s defense when it came to going after Bin Laden in Afghanistan…but once it was shown that he had fled the country, only the US remained. Then, when they decided to invade Iraq next, almost no one followed them.

Ummm, yeah. You didn’t actually read what I wrote. I never said the US would respect its alliances…I said the rest of NATO would. If Trump is banking on Europe bailing on their promises first, in order to justify his own betrayal, then it isn’t going to work.

Unlike him, the rest of NATO understands the importance of being unified in their objectives, .even if sometimes that unity is just for show.

As for the rest of us hay you were talking about…I think you have vastly overestimated Trump’s intellectual grasp of history. He doesn’t give a shit about US / European history. He doesn’t even fucking read. He cares about money. Right now…and how much. He will do whatever he is paid to do, as long as you outbid the competition. None of that other shit matters.

If that’s true, then Trump is a bigger idiot than he seems.

NATO won’t refuse to defend the US. They aren’t so stupid as to abandon their responsibility to Article 5. That doesn’t mean the US will do the same, but NATO takes that promise seriously.

If he’s betting on Europe being the one to drop that ball, then he hasn’t read the room.

Gee. It’s almost like they had advanced warning that things in the middle East were about to go sideways. But, sure…tell us again how Netanyahu went rogue by attacking Iran. It makes so much more sense to believe this was an unexpected turn of events, and the US knew nothing of his plans. /s

If only Zelenski had given him a golden airplane. /s

"After 40 years, we asked, ‘What do the fans want?’ Brooks says in the Spaceballs 2 trailer. “But instead, we’re making this movie.”

Nailed it.

Only half? Wow.

How does getting your neighbors killed, “protect” them? Those people are already doing enough to protect their neighbors right now. How would starting an all-out civil war, protect anyone?
