Ill be honest, ill take it. But im so confused right now.... is this how progress is supposed to happen? Its been so long. I didnt draw the line, they did, and still here we are. At something reasonable?

Still. I must reiterate, fuck mtg, but... support her this time? Fuck.

Thermite is considered less lethal than napalm and phosphorus. Its fairly direct too. It only lights up what it is dropped on. It can burn up cover and leave the troops under it fairly unharmed. Another example of Ukraine fighting with one hand tied behind their back, but still making due with what works.

On top of that, its super easy to make. Its just rust iron oxide and powdered aluminum. You can make it at home with a file and some old pipes.

Theres a metaphor there somewhere...

And they have processes in place to make sure you wouldnt be on that jury.

Vocal knowledge of jury nullification is grounds for dismissal.

Prior intent to nullify is basically perjury. Now you are both in jail

See, the system works! /s

Shit, this winter, for 3 days strait, i got ads with literal swinging dicks and full on penetration. Reported ads, and moved on. After day three, i deleted the app and only launched from a sandboxed browser with an ad blocker.

Now, i only open it for the marketplace. The place was cancer anyhow, but that was just too much.

Your right. Shes not left enough... might as well vote for trump or skip.

Seriously though. Are you paying attention? We dont get the perfect candidate now.dont shoot yourself in the foot. You're already a locked in voter i assume. If trump was 50/50 with biden, what makes you think he loses with us nit picking? Shes right of biden? Guess who is more right from that. Hope for whitmere or aoc as vp if your feathers are that ruffled. Newsom if you really want. But kamala is the ticket and whining about it loses the election.

Ok. But fuck, if you have to have a cop out, waffle house excuse to say newsom, i have a hard time believing you. Newsome is hard for the fact that hes a "hard D" california govenor and you take a good hit in the swing states. Thats a real liability. Thats fair. Stand by it. Say that. "But Bernie" my ass. Bernie doesnt want it now.

Dont say "oh no" and not have an honest opinion that you arent willing to put your nuts behind. Get on board, or gtfo.

I swear. As a dem, and ill be honest, what pisses me off the most is that we are our own worst enemy. We waffle and push for a vauge replacement with no game plan, and bitch and moan when the answer given "just isnt quite what we want".

We could have had an honest to god game plan a year ago. But we didnt get our shit together. Thats on you, thats on me, and its sure as fuck on the DNC. But we dont have that option now.

Fucks sake. Rant over. Sorry for being frustrated at a two word post and a half baked response. Fuck.

Ok. Fine... who would you pick?

There is a reason for her being the transition cannidate. If you have better, please let the DNC know...

Gotta correct for wind...

This just in: "kids are assholes, but this is the first time they have been assholes in this manner"

Some of yall have clearly never been around teenagers. They are ruthless no matter how well you raise them, and their groupthink is capable of moving literal mountains if directed in the right direction.

As dumb as it sounds, mutually assured destruction does have the perk of keeping everyone from using nukes. If modern countermeasures prevent that, it isnt a deterrent anymore. Updating these nukes improves the likelihood we dont have to use them.

Relevant example: russias tanks. They are outdated and weren't adequately improved over decades. and are now getting wrecked by consumer grade drones and guys with while fancy, in all honesty, second grade hand me down rocket launchers. Before we knew this fact, they were a reasonable deterrent to not fucking with russia. Now, not so much.

No shit. Wasnt the f35 total lifetime costs supposed to exceed 2 trillion?

Less moving parts and associated personel in nuclear silos and a big bomb. Absolute steal.

That being said, war is bad. But nukes are M.A.D.
