This has always been our problem, ever since I’ve been politically aware. The right offers whatever comforting lie you want to hear. We offer painful truths, and if you don’t instantly embrace the cactus, you get screamed at.

Are we expecting the Democratic party to actually support him? Seems the national leadership would rather see someone else in his spot.

I’m trying to determine if we are using words to mean the same things. It seems we are not.

Since I don’t take issue with your goals, only your vocabulary, I suppose that continuing to discuss it is pointless.

Would you claim that the soap box failed of no-one spoke against him?

Would you claim the jury box failed if he was never brought to trial?

What liberty are you talking about? The liberty of approved leaders? It’s a failure because we voted for a bad leader?

We got the leader we voted for. The failure is in the people.

That’s not my idea of liberty at all. But you can’t say the ballot box failed, just because the people elected the worst president in the history of people in suits.

So, you propose to enforce liberty by not letting us choose our own leaders? Democracy, as long as your approve our choices?

We dont want a military coup. People really need to understand this.

No, we don’t. But I might prefer it to another three years of Trump, followed by whatever fascist replaces him.

If there is a third option, I’m happy to consider it.

This is an abomination.

Put it in the pile with the others.

Information flow can never go backwards. There’s plenty of examples of reporters or even social media compromising military operations. In at least a few cases, it has lead to the destruction of military assets. Once broadcast, the damage is done.

Trying to force reporters to think hard about what they are broadcasting is a good thing, from the point of view of national defence.

Is it normal to allow people to send military information to your enemy?

I’m not a huge fan of either of the two belligerent, but this is not exactly an unreasonable position to take. And they are at least putting reporters on notice.

The US is obligated by law,

Yea, that’s a law we passed, right? One which we could repeal, too?

And we provide Israel weapons to bomb Gaza.

That doesn’t always work.

We used to have an agreement, didn’t we? What happened to it?

Oh. Right.

Are they running out of people to murder in Gaza? Or do they just need someone to fight back, so they can look oppressed?

Sadly, the people who can’t cope with the fact that people with Mexican heritage live in California are the ones that have the army, and the finely oiled PR machine.

Just once, I’d like to see us play the PR game, even a little bit, rather than deliberately handing them the victory on that front.

If you’re going to assault an officer, you might as well do it properly. But u don’t think we want to go there just yet.
