Exactly what happened? We don’t have equipment? We have generals saying the US is spread too thin? How? There aren’t even ground troops.

This doesn’t make any sense. There need to be congressional hearings to address this.

I constantly hear people say that young people need to work for what they get, and I think most people agree. However, when you literally grew up watching your parents slave away, not get much for it, and you see what working themselves to death did to them…. Why would kids want to do that?

When children look at their still struggling parents or grandparents or other adults in their life who “did things the right way,” what’s the incentive to “do things the right way” anymore?

Now we can clearly see that greed, stepping on other people, not paying workers, etc is what makes people win. So again… where is the work hard incentive? Just not being homeless? Really bringing the American Dream alive.

Scrolling through Reddit is like watching the same bad movie over and over again. We know he’s completely full of shit. We know his followers and are a laughing stock. When will this finally get old enough that we can just ignore grandpa and his insane behavior?

We've seen how petty he is and how he likes to assert dominance by humiliation, so if republicans lose in the midterms, then not if but when Trump enacts his revenge on the country, how will he do it? What will it look like?

Everyone was shocked in 2016 and in 2024 but it's not like Trump's Democrat challenger was the direct opposite of him or much better. I just feel like there is no way to gauge where voters truly are if you have these senile racists/war hungry corrupt politicians pitted against each other.

Why won't Democrats try having a candidate that will bring universal healthcare so that a fascist like Trump can try spinning why it is a bad thing? The 2016 and 2024 candidates had no policy suggestions besides "imagine if Trump was your president. Waaazzyy wazooo!"

What are the current developments with the Epstein hearing and investigation?

Do you guys think any of the names written there would eventually be prosecuted with the full force of the law, and will they be held accountable?

Sure she had a psychotic break but she literally strangled all 3 of her kids to death. Plenty of school shooters or violent offenders also claim insanity (who also are neglected by the state) but get little to no support or sympathy. I just feel like if this lady gets away with systematically strangling three of her kids to death it is a perversion of justice.

I'm personally waiting for some Weekend at Bernie's level shit .

Experience can be valuable in government, but concerns about health, cognitive ability, and generational representation tend to increase with age. Should voters decide entirely for themselves, or would some form of age limit make sense?

It's clearly divisive and coordinated—and it permeates EVERYTHING. The same narratives keep being repeated over and over again, are you guys starting to feel it?

It's weird man.

Sure seems that way doesn’t it?

Do you think that seeing the other superpowers of the world getting their asses handed to them by tiny little countries with garage made weapons, makes the Chinese hesitant to invade Taiwan?

Strangely enough if I was in their shoes I would certainly be looking for some lessons learned. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, iran, Ukraine... Small countries using asymmetric and gorilla style warfare to beat back super powers.

What is the lesson for China here?

Thoughts?

The best example I have is that the FauxMoi sub's top post of all time is not pop culture related or even pop culture adjacent, its literally just a clip from a House Committee Hearing. Its not just them, the Millenials (with one "n") sub is like that, pics, Me_IRL, and ever since SipsTea did away with the no politics rule they've basically become a completely different sub

I know "politics touches everything" and blah blah about the world and everything else being political etc...

But, a lot of these subs just allow any political content even if its 100% off topic. Which then becomes the dominant theme of the sub and eventually there's very little content relevant to the sub's intended purpose

Why is this?
