This is such a weak argument. How about we give Ustaše a platform to voice their displeasure about being kicked our of Croatia during WW2 for just "being there".

Can you choose and be better in your arguments!?

Sam Seder of the Majority Report has previously mentioned many times on how the Republicans ejected Kansas Governor Sam Brownback, who listened to famous charlatan economist Arthur Laffer, imposed crippling austerity on Kansas, was so bad that the Republican controlled state legislator overhauled his tax reforms, which he votoed, which the veto was overridden. Brownback was then promoted as "United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom" by Trump during the first administration, to which Seder likened it to Brownback "being shot into the ether." Hilarious for this to happen to Kristi Noem too.

*Best part: USSEFTSOTA doesn't even exist!

Big announcement on Saturday, I guess? But that's interesting you mentioned this. Trump can't just fire her and leave it at that. He has to pretend that this was more like a promotion. He said she did a great job, didn't mention any wrongdoing or anything. It was like she wasn't fired at all, just moved on. To bigger and better things.

Anyway, her replacement seems like a lateral move, at best.

It’s completely fine to hold two ideas in your head about Iran. One, fuck the regime, I’m not in the slightest concerned about a single one of those wizards going up in flames. They just likely murdered more of their own people than Israel killed in Gaza in a space of a couple of weeks.

But… you can also be completely against this moronic war being perpetrated by at lest one belligerent with zero plan.

I feel that Noem was fired because the Trump administration is desperate for approval for the war in Iran, because numbers are nowhere near as good as they were for the 2003 war in Iraq. So anything that is dogging the entire Trump administration/agenda numbers are going be a huge damper. Not to mention Noem is far, far, far from the first loyalist to be thrown under the bus.

She's not even the first one to be "promoted" to a worthless post, as what happened to Brownback. Torpedoed to the ether.

Yooooooo... My man, c'mon man. They killed couple of hundred thousand people in a couple of weeks!? Without bombing them and only with guns? How about you don't repeat the talking points!?

Can we, here, at least be better than that!?

I heard, though unverified, that the name of the operation, Epic Fury, was to override the possible google searches for Epstein, so when you type "E+P", it will fill out Epic Fury before Epstein. However, the funny part in that is that I've heard the reference to this as the Epstein War, not Epic Fury, on more than a handful of occasions by more than a handful of people of high and low positions, so we'll see how that plays out with organic search.

I already tried this myself with google and typing "E+P" and waiting a second, I get Jeffery Epstein.

And don't forget all the "This is what we're fighting for" memes that have been popping up like weeds across social media.

It's like, each folly begets a new folly to cover the last. I just don't know if a growing list of follies leads to an improvement. I am not convinced average Americans are ready for war with Iran, especially if gas prices rise. We'll see how the oil producers in the gulf step up, if they can (we'll see how effective Iran is at bombing the shit out of them).

Why? Am I not allowed to have sexual fantasies about her? Is my sexual preference upsetting you? How so?

I would always ask for her consent. If you're implying rape, you're projecting.

She's a monster, but we can be better than monsters.

EXACTLY. She's a fucking monster. It's like, some of you get it, and there is that semantics police that love to virtue signal where there is no leg to stand on.

Being better than a monster means, not being one yourself. Don't waste whatever social capital you have on things like this. Or, as they say, don't let another person's stink get on you. Take a shower, buddy.
