    I should have sold some stuff today before the big market crash this would cause. Hope orange doesn’t do anymore stupid though.

    It would be really funny if Iranian hackers change the coordinates to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

    I feel like if Trump tried to order that, even his cultists in the us army would refuse to risk the end of the world over losing in the midterms, but maybe even the little tiny faith I have in MAGA to not start a nuclear war for their daddy god emperor is too high. We’ll see I guess

    This makes sense.

    Losses mid term, launches nuclear war head at Iran, uses it as a pretense for martial law. I need to get my passports in order.

      If you’re waiting till the bombs drop to leave, you’re gonna be in trouble. Borders will be closed by then.

      Left in 2022 for that reason.

        This is the honest but scary take. If you follow other regimes around the world, waiting until martial law is far too late. Your ability to move unrestricted is generally impeded by that point.

        “For that reason”…. 4 years ago is a broad guess for that. It could be another 10-20 years and then you’ll be “see! See! I was right” even though it may not be any reason you thought of.

          Right right “We can all clearly see where this is going but we don’t know when it will arrive. Best get out ahead of time, it’s better than waiting till it’s too late.”

          You: “Nooo, that’s totally unreasonable! We might have all the time in the world! Stay stay, once it’s too late then you can try to get to safety.”

          What a stupid take.

          I started getting ready to leave in March 2020, as Biden secured the Dem nomination.

          Because at that point it was obvious that either (a) Biden would lose to Trump (absent COVID, he would have) or (b) would win, deliver nothing, and the GOP would be back in power in 2024 with little to stop them.

          The US is in worse state that I thought it would be at this point. tbh.

          Anyone paying attention could’ve seen this coming 15 years ago. I’ve been talking about this while I was getting arrested on the Brooklyn bridge at Occupy in 2011 and everyone rolled their eyes at us. And so little has changed - workers are still willingly making billionaires richer and more powerful. 4 years ago is late af if you ask me.

      It makes zero sense, don’t be a sucker.

      Think of all of that oil pumping infrastructure, hundreds of billions of dollars, pumping oil every day.

      They won’t destroy that if there are other options. There are other options.

        The alternative is Trump going to jail for raping children and the rest of his cabinet for conspiracy. Do you think Trump wouldn’t rather destroy the world than see a day inside a cell? Because we’re all fucked if Americans do anything less than physically drag Trump into prison ASAP, but Americans would rather let the world be destroyed than rise up against their precious leader.

        The oil infrastructure in Iran, you mean? Built and owned by Iran, not the USA? Why wouldn’t they want to destroy that? Or are you talking about Iranian retaliation on Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrein, etc oil pumps?

        for the downvoters: I wouldn’t want that, they would.

        Yeah, Carlson has been notably antisemitic for years. Just because Israel accuses everyone who doesn’t like them of antisemitism, doesn’t mean that nobody who dislikes them is antisemitic.

      It’s got nothing to do with what people know, everything he’s done is out there and only the willfully ignorant avoid it. The idea he cares about hiding it is crazy at this point.

      He refuses to not be in power, he’s scared that his power will be taken away, and maybe fear a small chance he’ll actually face consequences.

      That’s what it’s about.

    As much as I despise Tucker, he likely has more insight and information as his brain works the same as the other lunatic traitors.

    Still big grain of salt, but with Hegseth firing the senior war planner and Trump desperate with the midterm elections as well as the defeat of Netanyahu in Israel, anything is possible.

    That would wreck all of that oil pumping infrastructure, and all of those poorly paid workers pumping that oil would die.

    I don’t think that’s very likely.
