Do you have a source for this?

My understanding is the primary trade between the U.S and Israel is diamonds. We each export over $1B worth of diamonds and also each import over $1B worth of diamonds between one another. In the past year, the U.S. imported about half a billion dollars more from Israel than it exported to Israel (again mostly diamonds in both directions).

The diamond trade between our countries does not justify our participation in unnecessary wars (or genocides) in my opinion. It seems unlikely to be the reason we are so committed to this relationship. I think AIPAC’s financial involvement in our elections represents a much bigger reason we support Israel.

Sheesh! Thanks, Obama!

To be fair, they told him about this in dozens of briefings, but he was always distracted by his Happy Meal toy.

Typical GOP publicity stunt to build a conservative fanbase. He must be planning to run for office.

Is there a hot hole he won’t touch?

And just like that… berries became “woke”. That’s good, though. More for me!

THANK YOU! The six year long cliff-hanger to Wizard and Glass was enough for me to stop reading his books altogether.

Movies made from King books are usually classics, though, as long as King himself is not part of the production process. His remake of The Shining was a stream of hot vomit to the face. But Kubrik’s version is a masterpiece.

And why not? He has virtually unlimited U.S. weapons as well as bi-partisan support from U.S. politicians. It’s as though we’re just setting our attack dog loose on everyone.

It’s fucking astonishing that we have any relationship with Israel at all these days. The U.S. gets absolutely nothing out of this one-sided relationship.

Israel offers us:

-No unique strategic military position (we have that area covered already).

-No high-value industrial benefits (no natural resources or unique trade).

-No military arsenal or manpower support (their arsenal comes from us and their personnel is quite limited).

It’s time to let them make friends with their neighbors on their own. They don’t need us to do that and we sure as fuck don’t need them.

And his dad only left him $400 mil which he completely lost through failed ventures and bankruptcies. What a goddamned terrible “business man”. Who the fuck bankrupts multiple casinos? How profoundly bad at business does one have to be to fail so hard over and over again?

It’s not campaign money. It’s the “honest fruits of labor” that he “earned” by selling products. Even though every normal person can see that he’s a fucking grifter, maga morons can’t. So, now he has plausible deniability for any money “earned” in this “honest day’s work”.

What percentage of a population must suffer under right-wing leadership before that population rises up and corrects the problem by force? Is some type of uprising likely to form here?

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Conservatives have been society’s liars throughout all of human civilization. Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.

You have been promoted to MODERATOR of c/Conservative.

Maybe a citizen will.

I don’t appreciate the tone of your voice.

If he freezes up too long, the filibuster fails. I would pop popcorn for that.

So… a champion of conservatism,then.

How 'bout we compromise? No reproductive rights or universal healthcare for conservatives. We’ll call it “Democratic Healthcare”. Anyone can opt in. Conservatives can choose to stay the fuck out of it and cling to their proud fascist ideals all the way to their graves.

There is absolutely no scenario in which 160 or even 16 cities are hit with anything Putin launches.

More than 30 capable nations, including the U.S. (who eclipses the rest combined) have been focusing their primary defense and intelligence efforts on countering Russia’s arsenal for the last 60 years. The most likely outcome of a nuclear attempt from Russia is that not even a single city is hit.

The only effective nuclear offense Russia has is fear-mongering about a nuclear offense.
