    Bill Clinton expresses some cynicism over Netanyahu's motivations

    When he helped get the Prime Minister he was running against assassinated to get into office.

    Kyle and Krystal vs. Cenk on MAGA

    No idea what you are saying but it doesn't seem useful.

    Kyle and Krystal vs. Cenk on MAGA

    I think you underestimate the US's vulnerability to fascism, overestimate Germany's desire for fascism, and the specific point we're arguing about is the importance of the 'luck' that America's leading opposition was FDR while Germany's was Hitler, not so much because of some 'national culture'...

    Is trump about to lie us into another war like W did with his weapons of mass destruction claims?

    This is an old issue. Countries have people who want wars and people who want peace, and the more adversaries are seen as threats, the stronger the hawks who want war get. It's true in Iran, the US, and every country that isn't completely dictatorial.

    The rogue state, and using the US to fight its wars on Iraq and Iran

    The war on Iraq is widely criticized as the US's worst foreign policy disaster in decades - including by trump/MANGA - yet it's still not widely understood that a major force behind the war was the rogue state, which was concealed intentionally from the American people as "WMD" was written as...

    Is trump about to lie us into another war like W did with his weapons of mass destruction claims?

    @bongsaway For an answer to your question and a review how much 'Iran and nuclear weapons' is a copy of the 'Iraq and WMD' rogue state playbook, watch this video.

    Is trump about to lie us into another war like W did with his weapons of mass destruction claims?

    Powell refused to say some of the lies he was handed, but he willingly said others. The vial he held up had salt in it, and he knew it. He did not refuse those lies, he did not resign. He said it was the worst day of his life, but he participated. He allowed the administration to prostitute his...

    The US and the rogue state committed a Pearl Harbor attack

    Sometimes a topic sort of defies explanation, but can have an appeal to common sense. What would be the logic in trump privately telling Iran, "you are going to be bombed on June 13th, but I'm going to publicly say you aren't, you can ignore that"? No, the whole thing only makes sense as a...

    White House Rose Garden Bulldozed as Work Starts Paving It Over

    How did trump get the power to do that, what was your role regarding your vote? Would Biden or Harris be starting a war with Iran? Did Obama? Oh wait, he established peace with Iran, which trump reneged on his first term. I do care about the rose garden, but of course the war is more important.

    White House Rose Garden Bulldozed as Work Starts Paving It Over

    As I posted in the thread about how trump is the anti-JFK, this is one more destruction of JFK's actions. Here's an AI summary of Jackie Kennedy - who also famously made the White House a sort of museum for American art and history and more attractive - and the garden: In 1962, Jacqueline...

    The US and the rogue state committed a Pearl Harbor attack

    That's not correct, though. First, it's clear any 'private' communications were consistent with the tweet, all telling Iran the US was committed to a diplomatic approach, not military action. Second, trump lied to Iran, the American people, and the world, greatly harming US credibility, in what...

    Kyle and Krystal vs. Cenk on MAGA

    I continue to think you have it wrong, with a mythical idea of 'stronger democracy' as relevant. That's not it. It has to do more with who the more effective opposition was, and that was largely 'luck'. If Hitler hadn't been there as an effective opposition figure, Germany's backlash would have...

    Refrain - but why? Just add that AI was used.

    About that new 9(a) rule

    I occasionally google a topic and find AI provides a useful summary I cut and paste, but I've already posted "from Google AI" with the content if I do, thinking I should definitely disclose that. Coincidentally, just before seeing this thread, I did that and was considering re-posting Google...

    About that new 9(a) rule

    I don't feel much at risk from the rule, because I write my posts, and the risk of a ban would be if a moderator looked at my post and wrongly asserted AI was involved, and that doesn't seem likely. What I'd suggest for your unique situation is not shortening posts, but either having an...
