A New Politics Thread

[Diomedes]

Pretty heinous tactics you're celebrating there.  Soon you'll be calling for a final solution for "terrorists." 

[MDS]

uh oh, hakkan "dead jews are fine by me" maxipad is back and better than ever

[Rome]

Obviously I don't want innocent civilians killed or harmed on either side.  But if terrorists have to get taken out, it's way better when a plan straight out of Kingsman does the trick. 

Also - I only wish Democrats were as hard core about ridding us of Nazis in this country. We'd be better off without them all. Can't imagine anyone disagreeing with me about that.   

[Diomedes]

Israel will put bombs in Nintendo Switches next.  Anything to keep the cycle of violence going.

[General_Failure]

Never mind how anyone feels about religious zealots killing each other, tech companies collaborating with a government to kill people this way should have you upset and concerned, especially when you live in a country that's got a 50/50 shot at having a government that would jizz all over themselves to have that option.

[Diomedes]

If you can't see that weaponizing pagers/phones is utterly indiscriminate, is literally terrorism, I don't really care to talk with you about this subject anymore.

Israel has debased itself, is literally the moral equivalent of Hamas. 

[Rome]

I can't disagree with that. 

Then again, Americans murdered 100,000 innocent Germans when we fire bombed Dresden.  We incinerated tens of thousands of Japanese in an instant when we nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  We committed genocide against our own native population and again in North Vietnam. Cambodia, Laos, and aided and abetted tyrants in half the countries in south and Central America.  Oh, and slavery too.  Just for bonus points. 

A few thousand Hamas deaths is baby shtein compared to the atrocities committed in the name of American exceptionalism.

[Munson]

True, which is why we probably should be learning from those mistakes and or encouraging our puppet in the Middle East to be doing that type of shtein lol

One thing I can say MD does well:  voting.

I registered as an absentee voter many years ago.  Every single election, my ballot is sent to my home address well before the due date.  I have time to review any contests I don't know about, read up on whatever referenda are proposed, etc.  I haven't stood in a polling station since, and I've voted in every single election.

I get an email that they're sending my ballot to me.  I get an email when they receive it back.  And then I get an email confirming that they have counted it.

American Taliban states: Maryland rules, farg you.

Well looks like Alsobrooks did some minor financial fraud - and since we're the good side we'll make her quit the race so Hogan has an easy win.  He was probably going to win anyway but I'm honestly sick of being the good guys.  Let's just be horrible and win a few of these important races for once. 

[Diomedes]

Maili in ballots have already gone out

I don't see how claiming a senior citizen discount on taxes for a house her grandmother owned, and she was inherited or whatever and then a misplaced homeowner tax credit on a house she rented rise to the level of losing the race because of it... particularly since she's admitted fault and is paying back the unwanted credits

I think it's a nothing burger

Kamala is walking in and also Brooks will squeak through on her coat tails

[phattymatty]

I hope you're right, I've pretty much stopped paying attention to all of it.  Which is what the repubs want so I guess they beat me.  I just get a condensed version of things from my wife.  I'll vote blue down the line and just cross my fingers.

[SD]

I like voting in person...I always wear my solid blue Nike Sixers jacket. Keeps the deplorables with their MAGA shtein in check. Plus it's only a quarter mile from my house so nice little walk.

[Rome]

I always vote in person.  This will be the first election in 25 years I won't have my daughter with me.  Makes me feel a bit wistful to be honest.  There is so much on the line for her generation.  I just wish they were more interested.  She is and her friends and colleagues are... but in general, not so much.  Or they're moronic MAGA iceholes, which is worse. 

Anyway, go Blue. 

[Diomedes]

Rome roots for laundry.

And dead Palestinians.
