Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoNope. That’s not an explanation for why all of the conflicts I listed including the war with ISIS in Iraq, which is still happening (sounds like a forever war to me) are not Trump’s fault.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoYou have not explained why none of those are Trump’s fault and yet the wars you are talking about are Biden’s fault. Please explain.

I believe you described all of that as “very peaceful” earlier.
Looking forward to the explanation for how ISIS in Iraq isn’t Trump’s fault even though somehow it’s Biden’s fault that Russia invaded Ukraine.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoNeither of those were started by Biden. Why did you say they were?
Also, what progress? Russia just drone bombed the Chernobyl concrete dome.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoWhich wars in specific were the “forever wars” that Biden started that Trump then stopped? Which countries did Biden invade with the military he controls? Name them.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoI said he is threatening to start them. Read before you respond.
Also, the president, despite what you and Trump think, is not the emperor of the world and cannot stop other countries from starting wars. Trump won’t be able to either if that’s what some other country decides to do. He doesn’t have magic powers like you seem to think he does.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoI know that Biden didn’t start any wars and also that even if he did, they weren’t in Somalia. Or Panama. Or Greenland. Or Canada.
You’re really not good at being deceptive, so maybe you should stop trying.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoHe was bombing Somalia two weeks ago: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrye506z1go
He has threatened to go to war with Panama, Greenland and fucking Canada.
Either you’re ignorant of what Trump is doing or you’re just lying. Neither is a good look.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoDemocrats had no problem with Hillary Clinton’s gender when she was overwhelmingly confirmed by them as Secretary of State. I assume you called anyone who criticized her sexist, right? How about anyone who criticized Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, also overwhelmingly confirmed by Demcocrats. So you are definitely a sexist, racist person if you were against her becoming a SCOTUS justice.
Hillary Clinton and Judge Jackson thank you for your support of them.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoTrump is literally threatening wars all over the planet right now. Are you really that ignorant about what is going on in your own country? What your own president is saying literally on a daily basis?
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoThe something new being support for ruthless dictators? Is that the sort of new thing you think is good?
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•I'm finally going to the 🪩DISCO🪩0·5 months agoWait until you get to Season Five.
Let’s just say I’m still recovering from that fiasco.
Basically the whole season is, “let’s answer questions no one cared about the answers to, And do it badly.”
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoWhat does the number of votes have to do with her support of a ruthless dictator like Bashar Assad? All that proves is that Republicans are fine with her supporting a horrible ruthless dictator that tortured and murdered countless people. You can make this about her race and gender all you like, but all you’re doing is ignoring the quotes of her saying literal things and support of both him and Russia in that article. Not that I’m surprised that you’re ignoring her actual words that she said. It makes it much easier to defend her if you ignore them. Not honest, but easier.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoDo you think that maybe being pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him might make her a poor choice for the role she’s been handed?
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s director of national intelligence0·5 months agoCool. How about the fact that she was very pro-Assad and praising Russia for backing him?
You can read the literal words she says in that article, but something tells me you won’t.

Flying Squid@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter shot dead while resisting arrest during traffic stop: police01·5 months agoIt’s called fighting fire with fire.
Again, what should we rely on instead? You didn’t answer.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter shot dead while resisting arrest during traffic stop: police0·5 months agoWhat should we rely on instead to stop these extremely violent people who got a full pardon? Because as far as I can tell, the only way they will be stopped is if they go up against the fascist cops.
That’s not praising the cops, that’s saying there’s no one else. Because there is no one else.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldOPto News@lemmy.world•Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter shot dead while resisting arrest during traffic stop: police0·5 months agoThere’s a difference between praising cops and appreciating the irony of the guy who supported Trump, lover of police violence, dying in a police shoot-out.
Similarly, on a historical note, I’m not going to praise mass-murderer Stalin for killing Nazis to save his own ass, but I sure as hell am not going to condemn him for it.
I didn’t ask for an argument, I asked for an explanation. Apparently you don’t have one.
