    Trump says US stands with Saudi Arabia despite journalist Khashoggi's killing

    lmfao they're actually going with "Saudi is punishing those responsible." What a ****ing farce. You're right, we should have drawn the line much earlier at Saudi bombing and starving tens of thousands of Yemeni children. If the murder of a journalist who was friendly with Beltway elites is...

    Top US military officer says Taliban 'are not losing'

    I think we need to seriously reassess our presence in Afghanistan but, come on dude, this is cheap Orientalism. The Taliban are widely despised in Afghanistan and are as successful as they are largely because they are backed more-or-less openly by Pakistan's military and intelligence service.

    US official: US intel says prince ordered Khashoggi killing

    He was an American resident, the father of U.S. citizens, and the employee of one of America's most prominent newspapers. Also it's good generally to take a stand against murder and censorship. The fact that the Saudi government lied through its teeth in the first few weeks following...

    How many immigrants should we take in?

    of course even the leftmost Congressman wouldn't touch this idea with a 10-foot pole, but there is substantively no reason why we shouldn't have open borders

    Statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington DC to Make Senate 'More Diverse'?

    Holy ****, the amount of people in this thread who think that people who don't vote their way shouldn't be allowed to vote is astounding. The answer is yes, not because of "diversity" but because American citizens (and this should include those in American Samoa) are entitled to participate in...

    What's your take on the Jamal Kashoggi murder?

    my take is that it's incredibly bizarre to watch pro-Trump people go to bat for Saudi Arabia of all countries

    Peace never had a chance

    I really love that the post-Trump brand of conspiracy theory is that the current administration is doing nothing wrong and that whistleblowers and critical press are the actual enemies of the people

    Is it Racist for White Countries to Remain White?

    Quoting myself from a different thread: No one knows what white is lol. Are Poles white? If you say "yes" you're at odds with the Nazis. If you think Italians are white, your average American racist in 1910 would disagree. Go back another 60 years and many Englishmen and Americans believed...

    CIA Director Pompeo makes secret trip to NK: Meets with Kim Jong Un

    Re: CIA Director Pompeo makes secret trip to North Korea: Meets with Kim Jong Un He puts on a show of admiring Kissinger, but what has he actually done that demonstrates he approaches foreign policy in the same way that Kissinger does? I think Kissinger wouldn't have bothered striking Syria...

    CIA Director Pompeo makes secret trip to NK: Meets with Kim Jong Un

    Re: CIA Director Pompeo makes secret trip to North Korea: Meets with Kim Jong Un Trump is no Nixon and Mike Pompeo is no Henry Kissinger. I would be delighted and genuinely impressed if there was a breakthrough but I just don't see it. Even if the current administration was much more...

    What fake news actually looks like.

    I like how you just repeated his point back to him almost verbatim and acted like that was a rebuttal.

    Trump administration studies seeking the death penalty for drug dealers

    I'm not a very politically active person. I read about politics all the time, I study it in college, and I occasionally post about it here and on Twitter, but I've never really gone to rallies or protests on behalf of anything. This is different. If anything like this comes close to being...

    The Victim Mentality: What is Really Destroying America

    You are mistaken, my argument is that this is obvious "this thing I don't like is DESTROYING AMERICA!!!111!" culture war nonsense. You can substitute "victim mentality" with anything Luddites and reactionaries don't like (casual sex! the Internet! immigration! Feminism! Smart phones!) and...

    Holocaust denier poised to claim GOP nomination in Illinois race for Congress

    OK, so why is six million the official number? Are all of the professional historians who have studied this subject their entire lives just stupid, and are you, random person on debatepolitics.com, the one who really understands the Holocaust? Or are powerful people lying to us? Are these...
