America in Flames: Electric Boogaloo (the politics thread)

Although I do think it’s easy to boast a "warrior ethos" when the strongest military in the world has stood behind you and emboldened you nearly every step of the way since the current iteration of your country was founded 

Israelis puff their chests and call themselves great warriors because 3,000 years ago they wiped out tribes and killed giants with a slingshot, but we know the real reason for their confidence. XD Even now their enemies are afraid to go all-out for fear of dragging us in.

Although it’s certainly true that we’ve got them equipped with better gear and a better defense grid than anyone else on their side of the world. But even then I doubt they’d be so bold if America declared tomorrow a total withdrawal of support. They might not need it, but they absolutely love having it.

They do incredible things with the support we give them. Americans have been so mired in bureaucracy that we can't actually do anything anymore, we have to stand around with our proverbial dicks in our hands waiting for authorization and paper stamping.

You know the media wasn't going to let that stand. They edited her responses to make her sound intelligent.

Like this one where she answered with her usual word salad, but when the episode aired they cut in a response from another question earlier in the interview.

Because it's hard to keep track, this was the case brought by NY Attorney General Letitia James in which she alleged that Trump had committed fraud by over-valuing his property when asking for a loan. The supposed victim in this "crime" testified on Trump's behalf, saying it wasn't a material issue. But it's New York so they won, and the left was crowing about Trump having to pay half a billion dollars or have assets seized.

TLDR: The appeals court shredded the state's flimsy case and by the end the attorneys for NY State were begging the judges not to sanction them for election interference.

Imagine being that friend-zoned. Lol. "OK, Carl. I want you to marry me so that I don't end up as a dismembered womb attached to a bunch of hoses in a filthy warehouse." "Uh, ok." "But no sex, of course, because there will be no abortions."
