War Room Lounge V43: STEM is Overrated

[Andy Capp]

Seriously, I can't believe there isn't a thread on this from one of the resident arbiters of morality

Oh, but there is. And it's a pretty fucking stupid thread at that, as you would no doubt expect.

Its not just Sherdog's incel community, the news reports and the political leaders are off the rails against her.
Pence and Fox just ran a segment that she's a threat to national security....WTF?!

Pence said Israel is the US's dearest ally. Fuck Britain and fuck Canada, I guess. Don't his comments about Israel make it plain as day she is right that the relationship between the US and Isreali members of government is inappropriately influenced by money?

 

[Andy Capp]

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

The video or the song? I usually post songs in here I’m listening to but never watched the video version of it.

I really don't think Israel is buying our support with money.

Our top ally is obviously Canada followed by UK, Australia and than Israel.

I think people tend to overlook Canada because many really do look at it as purely an extension of the US, like a suburb of a major city.

Israel is different than those 3 in that it is in hostile/ unstable region so they get all of the attention. They need our support so it is noticed and magnified.

What do Canada, the UK and Australia need our support for?

I always think of the US's allies as: (1) UK, (2) Canada, (3) Israel, (4) Saudi Arabia, (5) Australia, (6) all those Mexican countries

Bump Australia higher and drop KSA. Then you have a good tier list

This picture, if it went the other way politically, would generate a thousand post thread complete with an eight-page derail of posters playing Six Degrees of George Soros.

Hey, @Cajun, this reminds me of a discussion we had a while back. My recollection is that you were arguing that Democrats should nominate Biden because unlike Clinton, he has no "baggage" and is likable, and I was telling you that if he looked likely to win, he'd get smeared, and the right would see him as a demon, and a lot of self-declared leftists would hate him every bit as much as they hate Hillary. Already happening. I can also say in advance that if Biden tumbles (which I think is possible, as I think a lot of his support comes from the perception that he's "electable"), whoever takes his place will get the same treatment--demonized by the right and hated by True Leftists. Even St. Bernie will get it (already starting to be way less popular with the right than he was last time).

Sorry bud. Been crazy lately. I still think he is the best option to beat Trump. The left and right will always target the frontrunners. So I think no matter who it is they will become a target. Recently I've heard him speaking a few times and he doesn't sound as sharp as he used to. The age issue could play poorly as this continues and debates happen. I think he is not left enough for many in the Democratic Party. That may not help him in a primary but I think it helps him in a general election. He does not seem to be garnering support from some of the loudest members who want the party to shift left further than he is. But I think in a general election he will hold up better overall than the of the field. I don't think he comes with zero baggage but he is not nearly as polarizing as Hillary was or in my opinion as Bernie Sanders will be in a general election. I'm not sure if you're talkin about something specific though. I have not been keeping up with the news for the last few weeks. Forgive the talk to text possible errors. Drive home seemed a good opportunity.

Hey @PolishHeadlock2. How is there 2 of you?

 

[Fawlty]

Fuddy-Duddy level up tonight. While out picking up burgers, some ratty boy-child pedestrian broke from his mother and ran down the sidewalk toward my car as I waited to pull out from Sonic. He skidded to a stop five feet from my window and held aloft a slingshot, beaming from his giant eyes like he was Link collecting an item in Ocarina of Time. His flat-haired greasy mother, wearing shorts that told me her buttocks had completely given up on life, shrieked at him. I cracked up and told the kid, "Go back to your mother, you doe-eyed little savage."

The old join date was undervaluing my post to like ratio.

I sent that kid after you, that was supposed to be a hit. I hope you know you just cost me 20 big ones.

Speaking of, air traffic has seemingly increased 10 fold in my area. I dont want to make any predictions but just know I dont feel very safe.

Nothing specific. Just noting the rising tide of hatred for Biden, who was previously kind of regarded as universally likable, regardless of what you think of his policies. I thought that was predictable. No telling where it will land, of course, but anyone can be hated if they win a nomination or seem likely to. Remember that Hillary's approval was extremely high before the campaign (by far the most popular figure in politics--remember that was the reason she was seen as a lock).

You should stick to motorcycles. Helicopters if you must fly.
