There are a few Dem supporters who suggest they should nominate a lesser known candidate, like a Dem governor who's never in the news. The strategy would be to avoid the thousands of ads the GOP can run reminding voters of the stupid shite said and done by AOC, Gavin and Harris.

That might actually be their best play, but I would be shocked if the DNC could pull off something that coherent at this point.

There are many reasons why this entire line of thinking is asinine and dare I say, racist, but here's one of the most glaring blind spots:

The implicit argument is that only, ahem, Europeans, conquered and "stole" land. But the fact of the matter is that the tribes that were here first fought over land, conducted large-scale, multi-year military campaigns, and did all the same awful stuff to each other: Slavery, massacres, leveling entire cities, all of it. A handful of examples:

- Inca expansion wars
- Aztec wars
- Mississippian Chiefdom wars
- Beaver Wars in the Great Lakes Region (I know, I know
:lol:)

My point is that the "stolen land" crowd paints a picture of all of these groups living peacefully in the Americas in some kind of dreamy utopia. I think this oversimplifies these people and makes them seem less prone to greed, vengeance, revenge, fear, and all the same emotions that still cause wars.

To me, portraying entire nations that way is quite racist. They did all the same stuff to each other before the Europeans arrived. The Europeans just had better tech.

Point #2: If we're going to peel the stolen land onion, we have to of course sort through all the pre-European tribal wars, right? Until we get back to the original group of cave people living in each place? Surely that's what they intend to do, right? (Tongue in cheek.)

Never heard of this horse shite pole.

That said, I hope the commies are deranged enough to run Newsome.

JD will mop the floor with him in the debates, and there’s enough damning video of Gavin the commie saying commie things to send the alleged leaners running for the hills.

Kind of amazing the dems are still such a mess following that 2024 arse kicking.

Listening to tiger bait last night and Mike said he’s hearing scuttlebutt the entire basketball staff would be let go but McMahon would be back .

GTFO. Hope Verge likes an empty PMAC. It would cost them so much more to go the cheapskate route. Then fire McMahon next year anyway. Ugh. Only LSU BB. Hope Mike is wrong.

At this rate, one of them is going to cause a wreck and kill someone. Kirby would be wise to get a handle on this before that happens.

I have no idea how, but that's why he gets the big bucks.

At times he definitely typed like he was completely unhinged. He was a delight to troll because of the reactions you knew you’d get

True. His responses were always so over the top, it was tempting to poke the bear for a chuckle.

I was in the Ron Paul camp in 08, and Toothpick was completely incensed with any mention of "blow back" or de-escalation in the ME.

He would insult you with questions like:

"Do you know how insanely asinine you have to be to even think of this?" Do you know how much of a MOONBAT you are to not be THROWING UP while you typed that idiotic comment?"

Good stuff. :rotflmao:

Why not. Nothing else has worked in the ME. Try something different.

Hell, there's no way it could fail worse than the UN.

If it doesn't work, scrap it and do something else. Or (hopefully) just walk away from the nation-building aspect of ME diplomacy.

Maybe the US should stop preventing the Russians from launching strikes against the UK?

The Eurotrash is increasingly annoying.

I hope Trump sends them a bill for the zillion dollars of taxpayer funds it's taken to try and civilize their crooked banana republic of a city.

Back to 1970s NYC crime, or worse. That place is gonna devolve into a war zone.

And for those who still choose to stay. Imagine your property taxes going up while police protection of said property declines.

This little experiment in communism is going to come down like a house of cards.
