US and Israel attack Iran

[Lostinthewoods]

On this point of politics and people in general, society has turned through the circle to the point almost everything is judged to find the negatives. I'll leave it that.

Outside of politics, as to Iran, since 1979, Beirut all the through GWOT they have singlehandedly sewn terror and death. Given the historical aspect of Persian culture, they have far more to give on a positive note if they can change back to that culture. This is an opportunity for this.

Context, a over 40 year family friend fled Iran before the Shah went down. Civil Engineer. He couldn't save all of his family unfortunately. The last multitude of decades he deeply understands the fear that the normal population feels.

I hate war and most of my military friends do as well. From WW2 to present the warriors I know dislike it as well. But there are evils within this world.

My point isn’t degrading a party, it’s pointing out hypocrisy. If people rush to defend sexism when it’s directed at Kristi Noem but spent years shrugging at it from Trump and others in his orbit, that’s not a call for civility, it’s selective outrage. Turns out principles shouldn’t depend on which jersey someone’s wearing.

Also to be crystal clear, not a democrat. I despise Trump, unless I guess that’s the barrier of entry to being labeled one nowadays.

Please don’t take my comment as being directed at you as you did anything wrong and I definitely think your point was taken to most.

I was just trying to put a message out there, but perhaps what I had in my head didn’t get delivered appropriately to y’all.

That happens to me all the time. You get a thought in your head, put it into words in your head , put it on paper and it just doesn't come across right but it sounded good in your head. Then someone misinterprets it and takes offense to what they thought you meant. No biggie.

Nah I get it. I’ll try to keep train on tracks for everyone. Thanks for keeping these threads civil and informational.

No worries my guy!!!! My skin is deeply thick and I can have an intelligent convo with most!!!!

Part of my post resides outside of Iran, but its a societal shift I'm extremely well versed on nowadays. Thats all

Noem was menopause crazy before T. She had the plastic surgery and wrote her memoir which included saying she shot her 14 month old versatile pup for flushing too many pheasants during a hunt.

She had to shut her IG account down because of the hundreds of Pup Killer responses she got for anything, while she was governor.

I can’t believe you guys aren’t taking all women in politics seriously. You can’t see Noem, Palin, Waters and AOC for the thoughtful policy experts that they are? Sheesh. You have the subtlety and social sophistication of Cro-Magnans.

Funny preferring the bad orange man over Kamila or Biden seems to be the barrier of entry for labeling someone a "Republicans MAGA boot licker"

She also made up a story about meeting Kim Jong, did the audio book, and then removed the fraudulent anecdote after getting called out. No explanation for how did she the audio book and didn’t catch such a glaring error herself.

Also had a long running affair with a staffer.

After having now done my best to train a bird dog from puppy to now 18 months old, I can confidently say it is 100% the fault of the trainer if a bird dog isn’t doing what they want, and at 14 months old, most dogs need ALOT of work still. Just so dumb to think the solution for ruining one pheasant hunt on game farm birds is summary execution.

Then she tried saying it was a dangerous dog for “attacking livestock,” but all it did was kill chickens, which is 100% on the owner for letting a German Wirehair have access to chickens.

She’s just a disgusting person.

Nope, for me that label gets applied when I hear deafening silence in regard to not following laws, showing zero regard for integrity, trampling rights, breaking campaign promises of no wars, running up the deficit even more, and making my family pay $1000s more on everyday goods due to tariffs.

The irony of acting offended by sexism while defending an administration who is full of men who have treated women like 2nd class citizens and toys to throw away.

The irony rests solely on the woke left saying sexist things about people they dont happen to like. Ultimately i dont think you and i disagree about hypocrisy. You just are immune to seeing it.

They sure arent policy experts but ive personally never cared about how they "look" and what that says about them.

Ill leave that kind of things to the do-gooders here and low rent people like the radical iranians.

She’s just a disgusting person.

Agree.

Anyone want to bet on if we have "boots on the ground" in a month? I think we'll arm some sketchy people (kurds?) in another risky move.

Nancy Mace is crazy in the right direction.

It's all an act , she's still crazy , just fighting for her niche in the news feed .

And lets not forget that she had an extensive and at times inappropriate wardrobe that was widely and publicly panned. Spent over 200 million federal dollars$!!! on a very image conscious ad campaign. As governor she flew to Texas for some cosmetic dentistry work then promoted the dentist on her social media account.

Could go on and on.

And at least to those who knew anything about her before...and her former SD subjects...none of this was a surprise.

Acting being the key word in your statement .

I was willing to be somewhat flexible in applying the label on Nov 6, 2024. But by Mar 6 2026, if the positions haven't changed, the label has been earned.

What position that Trump is better then Kamila?

A couple months ago I had to go pick my wife up from the Billings airport and I was early so I was sitting at the bar at the 406 taphouse or whatever the place is on 27th closest to the airport.
Turns out the guy that was sitting next to me was some bigwig in the South Dakota Democratic Party and was a big part of her former opponents campaign. He had drank about five too many stiff drinks and was just going off about her. I probably don’t agree with that guy too much politically but holy shit was he funny and had absolutely nothing nice or appropriate, come to think of it- probably career ending for him if I had been recoding. But holy shit it was funny and ruthless.

Yes. If someone still thinks that today, it tells me something. They are preferring a known terrible outcome (or ignoring such) to a complete unknown (probably by making up a really bad scenario to justify their decision).

Let's hope not for everyone's sake, Iran is not Iraq. This will be ugly if it gets to that point.
