The NYTs article is "evidence the DNC is broke," and that's your takeaway? Ok, so you didn't read the article. Got it. They raised more than the GOP in the first quarter. My opinion is this is nothing. They have some infighting as David Hogg wants to primary Democrats to put up the exact type of candidates that lose and that we've been primarying to try and get rid of them(Bush, Bowman...Talib) and the larger donors want to see the outcome. You realize you could go and find a dozen of these articles from... the RNC... And AGAIN, the DNC raised MORE than the RNC in the first quarter. So... first, if you post an article that isn't from a right wing site, make sure you can read it. You obviously couldn't and didn't in the first case. There are...dozens and dozens of articles about donors not wanting to donate to the RNC and the DNC out-raising them. We're not even close to the mid-terms, much less the next Presidential Election and you're worried about the Democrats when the right is normally complaining it's not fair they raise more? LOL....cool. Now, I gotta go take my Nephew on a 4-wheeler ride...I'll be back when you figure out exactly what your point is here.

Hey, I certainly appreciate this "scholarly intellect," you've...rather consistently assigned to me! I'm flattered you'd think so highly of me.

So...what did that article say and what was the point of contention as YOU see it...given I'm sure you're not just going off a headline, right?

Yeah, I never said Harris, Hakm or AOC. Newsom would hardly be "laughable," but not my choice. And if you want to know what someone stands for, go look it up. But calling an Astronaut and literal Fighter Pilot a "loon," is a little silly. He's also one of the most bi-partisan Senators based on his voting history. But sure, "Loon." (Have you seen the cabinet or the guy who sits behind the resolute desk)? You want to know what Polis stands for, go listen to some speeches. JB Pritzker...again, too far, but he looses 40 pounds, he'd be a great candidate.

Of course that's their aim, I said when we pulled out of the JCPOA, there was no reason for THEM to hold up their end of the bargain. -I'm pointing out that SAME organization that... you're now taking as gospel, said they were Complient in 2018 and UNTIL Trump pulled out(which was particularly stupid as he's not telling Israel to stand down while he negotiates). -60% doesn't get you a Nuclear Weapon and AGAIN, the SAME organization, has said; So yeah, I don't believe they're a week away or we'd have bombed them by now. Some of you use the same source in one context, ignore it in another. -They're more definitely working TOWARD building a bomb.

LOL...so to recap, YOU made the claim that Iran was NOT living up to the agreement; So you just effectively said 'nuh-uh!' LOL...I simply pointed out what the DIRECTOR of National Intelligence said and HOW LONG Israel has been making the "one week away" claims. I've also REPEATEDLY said that Iran is OBVIOUSLY now enriching uranium. Of course they are. Why would they NOT? A Nuclear Weapon is a strong deterrent. What's more, I NEVER argued against bombing Iran(just the opposite). See.... reading is important Jimmy. I've advocated the US AIDING in regime change, I've never made it a secret which side I supported. Israel. ALWAYS been Israel. But this is where you're simply...not...capable of a coherent discussion. You contradict yourself regularly. You ALSO said; So.... any chance you can answer my question? -In 2018, it was a fake agreement, Iran did as they pleased despite the IAEA saying they were in accordance. -2025 'Here's PROOF they're enriching Uranium!' I know there's lots of words here and that's my fault. I'll probably get 4-5 replies in which you never actually answer MY question.

LOL...ooh...the "Geller report!" That's... definitely a non-biased platform! And the truth; Why use actual sources with any credibility when you have a wacko and a Newsletter!

I already did this; I'd also add Jared Polis of Colorado would be an excellent candidate... if you just look at his political ideology, but he's gay, so his chances are non-existent. I'm...incredibly skeptical of anyone picking up from Trump in the "MAGA," party.

Ok...so you "understand" what he's saying, but don't agree with it? You can just go ahead and clarify then. This is what Scout had to say; You understood he was talking about @1032004when he said there was "definitely a troll who SAID he voted for Trump but it's clear he is a leftist And then with regard to Senator Mike Lee, you UNDERSTAND that he was rationalizing Mike Lee's statements as "Playing word games," but don't agree with that? I'd love if you could explain how him saying "this is what happens when Marxists don't get there way," and posting a picture of the man who assassinated a Democrat, his wife and then shot another Democrat and HIS wife 10 times each? My apologies, I just don't follow how that's a "word game," or a game at all, but I'll let you speak for yourself on your "understanding" of Scouts post in this context...if you don't mind.

Yup. I wholeheartedly agree. I wonder why it was so hard to openly condemn him for...so many.

My understanding is the MOP(massive ordinance penetrator) can cut penetrate though as much as 200 feet of Rock, Mountain or...Earth(though that would be obvious) and then it explodes in multiple directions. They'd probably need multiple, but 2 B-2s would be enough to carry 4. Trump is negotiating with Iran right now and has asked Israel to stop talking about an attack(from what I've seen reported).

NOPE! Can't use the IAEA reports Scout! When I used them as a source to show THEY said they Iran WAS following the agreement, you dismissed it, remember? It SOUNDS like you pretty much just believe them when it behooves you and you dismiss their claims when it does not. Go run back to Twitter and figure out how to reconcile how you can both use the IAEA as a source NOW but dismiss it as a Source in 2018? https://www.armscontrol.org/blog/2018-06-08/iaea-report-confirms-irans-compliance-jcpoa?utm_source=chatgpt.com

So...AGAIN, you'll need to have this argument with the Trump administration who said in 2018 that Iran was upholding their behalf of.... what I guess you believe is an agreement that...doesn't exist? LOL...alright Scout!

On some issues... he's definitely like a couple other posters on here who will take someone who follows Hassan, the actual tanking, communist defender on the far left. He's just the other side of the coin from Scout on SOME of these issues.

Oh Jesus Jimmy/Scout, are you capable of independent thought? THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS MY ENTIRE LIFETIME. You claim to be this educated, comfortable, retired...informed person(which...I don't think anyone is buying, at least on the last one). But you're really deferring from our Military Intelligence and deferring to Mossad? How many times do you fall for this? They've been claiming this SINCE THE LATE 70's! But now you just blindly defer to Mossad? Ok, then get rid of Tulsi. She's not doing her job. -Of course, AGAIN, going back to the original point...it is just purely hypocritical to claim Iran does not follow their obligations when the TRUMP administration said they were in 2018 when they pulled out of the agreement. THAT was my argument and you're just arguing based on what? BOTH Trump administrations are right? Then you must really not believe them at all anymore, right? https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2011/1108/Imminent-Iran-nuclear-threat-A-timeline-of-warnings-since-1979/Earliest-warnings-1979-84

Red... I can't take you seriously on this issue anymore than I can Scout/Jimmy. It's "150% false," to say Iranian people support Israel over the regime? When did you travel to Iran, how did you speak to these people? Because if you're talking about ALL these Middle Eastern people you speak to, and you've spoken to a lot of Iranians, I would be SHOCKED if you've spoken to 1 IN 10 that's been more supportive of the Iranian Govt unles you're going to tell me you've traveled to Iran(and I'd think you'd mention that). Also, the 'trust me, people are saying,' is about as Trump-ish as you can get. You can look at the numbers which are ALWAYS going to skew in FAVOR of the Ayatollah as people are so scared of their secret police or reprisals for speaking out against their own Govt'... You can hate your leader...but right NOW you can write whatever the hell you want about him. You can go protest and they're not going to take them, beat them, maiming and VERY possibly killing them. We may get arrested for such a protest. The Glib nature in which you just throw Iran in with "that region" or "the Middle East," as if there's nothing differentiating them is....well, it's Scout/Jimmy-esque.

Ok... so then just according to Scout, ANYONE who doesn't absolutely adhere to ever right wing talking point is a troll? I definitely had you pegged as a moderate liberal, but also definitely not a troll.

Ok...so you think Mike Lee was "playing word games" when he said this is what "Marxist" have coming to them while showing a picture of the crazy right winger shooting Democrats and then make a "Nightmare on Waltz street," Joke? Cool. That's just... "word games."

Yeah, I guess, it was really hard to gauge Askren back then. I remember he lost to the kid from Minnesota(just...blanking on the name now, but he was a 4X undefeated National Champ at Augsburg, he went there because he wanted to play Football also). That kid was probably a top 3-5 overall recruit AND older, but it just wasn't competitive. But Askren just kept getting better. A guy like Hendricks(Johnny) beat him badly(Again, going off memory) as a Jr going into his Sr year and then by the end of their Sr year, it was a 6-5 match. That may be after the last ranking or too late to really impact it, and it kinda follows the Mesenbrink trajectory.

That's just insane. He's...EASILY the greatest actor of this generation. I don't know why his style of preparing for a role would detract from it, but remember when he tapped his plastic eye with that sharp knife? That was a thin layer and he had to train himself to keep his eye open. That's just ONE of dozens of anecdotes that sticks out that adds so much to role. The dude's weird, he's EASILY the greatest actor in history IMO. At LEAST the last 30 years. Has he been in a bad role? I don't think you can find a list without DDL near the top if not at the top of greatest actors EVER. Tom Cruise was great... before he just basically took the same role in every movie the last 30 years(A Few Good Men was great for example...though even there, that was just the non-action lawyer role which he then meshed with the firm and then went to over the top action movies...which is fine, but I can't get past the scientology stuff). Anyway, he's not in the same group as Daniel Day Lewis. More people have seen Tom Cruise movies, they've been ore successful, though if that's the metric, the sister in the Godfather, Adriana in Rocky would be one of the "top" Female actors of all-time and Harrison Ford would be the "best" Male star of all-time.

Please tell me this is coherent to someone else? "well, there definitely is a troll on this forum who SAID he voted for trump..." Anyone understand how this...apparent Trump voter who is actually a leftist( sort of like your claim the Minnesota shooter was actually a liberal with a Democrat contact list is) has to do with a US Senator who mocked the deaths and joked about it? Really... someone help me understand this one (not you Scout, I'm sure you'll change the topic into some whataboutism). You don't actually understand what "word games" are, do ya sport?

Yes, those 14 cases in ENTIRELY different scenarios since 1988... in somehow in some of your feeble minds means...hell, the Cop could have "changed lanes," which would require backing over him. LOL... just need to keep pointing out the hypocrisy.

THIS is the more ignorant part of this post. Most of my Family is in Law Enforcement. On the two sides, 6 Uncles, among Cousins in the various agencies and including MPs, it's ~12(I don't know if one is retired yet). But yeah, thinking someone driving an UNMARKED can pull a gun because someone LEGALLY takes a picture of their license plate...can ONLY mean I hate Cops. Again, how the bootlicking on the right have gotten insane. The constitution and you're rights... only works if it suits your argument, eh? LOL... again, not surprised by the hypocrisy.

Great. You went back to 1988 to conjure up vastly different circumstances to try and overstate the threat a Cop faces and SOMEHOW justify pulling a gun on a NON-TRAFFIC stop and perfectly legal, constitutionally protected action. These are just SOME of the jobs most several TIMES more dangerous than being a Cop.

Well... I don't know why they'd be persona non-grata away from their athletic circle, but... ok. Not really the main point. I said it's obviously not that simple... but I won't be able to understand.
