Pretty bad.

This is one of the most easy and logical issues you can explain to people using basic economics. The crazy thing is you can explain the whole thing, you can give an example of a store owner selling overpriced water bottles before a storm and how one person could come in and buy it all out for $50, or you can overcharge 10x and each person comes in buying only what they need, more people end up with the goods they need before the storm, saving lives. You can explain how overpricing helps bring in more goods after the storm by encouraging entrepreneurs to risk their safety to bring in goods to a dangerous area with looters and dangerous, damaged roads, etc, saving even more lives. Most people still won't change their mind, they think the value of things is just whatever the price tag at their local store says and anybody who charges more is just being greedy.. those are usually leftists tho. That said.. I saw some of these posts on X, and 95% of the comments beneath were MAGA supporters saying price gouging during a weather emergency is a good thing..

Oh ya, that's right, they were created to fight the PLO, then it backfired. Sorta like the Mujaheddin.

Weren't they created to fight Hezbollah? Sounds like it backfired.

You don't think the invasion was justified?

I was never for the US war in Iraq.. Lol, that's one building, in all of Tel Aviv, and it is an administrative building..

Man, what a bunch of whiners. The Israel derangement syndrome in this thread is off the charts. Lebanon was launching missiles into Israel, then Israel 'invades' Lebanon and everybody here is just going to pretend like it was completely unprovoked? I mean, c'mon.. Oh they blew up a Mosque.. Well here's the problem. Muslims have blurred the lines between military bases and civilian structures and Mosques.. when was the last time you saw a military base that was also a Synagogue? Or a civilian apartment building in Israel? You people are so easily manipulated..

You sound like you’re arguing against US intervention in Iraq after 9/11… it’s not that simple. Unlike the US, Israel actually has missiles flying into their country on a semi-regular basis. What is simple is asking ChatGPT why they did it and what they targeted. Before you respond with "Ahh hah!! It says "PRE-EMPTIVE"!!" Again, not that simple.. it's not like it's pre-emptive, like they've never shot missiles at them before. More like a guy punches you, and then you punch him as he is winding up for his second punch.

Certainly we should not have troops in Syria or be bombing Syria.. but they are their neighbors. I don't give a flying fuck anymore if Israel bombs their neighbors who are attacking them. They are at war.

I didn't say all Muslims, certainly not all Iranian Muslims, but it seems to be a majority of those in Gaza and a decent amount of the more extreme believers in other places.

Certainly not the people living in Israel.. I also think Mossad was involved in 9/11. But so was the CIA.. and Saudi Intelligence.. maybe even MI6, who knows. Again, that's not the people living in Israel, the Jews, the Christians, the US or even Saudi Arabia or the UK.

Or he just supports Israel.

TheCount linked to Vance's dossier from the Trump campaign on another thread. I doubt you read the hundreds of pages, but let me quote this part for you, there is actually quite a bit in there on this topic: If you can't find that to be highly preferable to our other options, I really don't know what to say.

Adam Dick ain't no Ron Paul.. That statement actually sounded eerily similar to what Ron Paul has said about Israel in the past. Which is that we should stop funding Israel, then it is up to them to do what they think they need to do to defend themselves. The author here took a vague statement made by Vance about supporting our allies and did some mind-reading to conclude that he meant use all of our military might and send all of our soldiers to do whatever Israel wants us to do..

This is the problem, you don't separate the Iranian people from the Iranian government. The fact that Netanyahu did just that means a lot, he's saying the people of Iran are good, the government is bad. The fact he is using libertarianesque/nationalist arguments toward the Iranian people (don't send your money off to fund wars and terrorism far away, keep it and make your own country better) sounds pretty good to me. I have no idea, he also said he is friends with school shooters. What are you talking about? I didn't say I'm going to go to your house with a gun and take your money and send it to Israel. I'm not even talking about sending my money to Israel. It's more like rooting for a football team, I'm going to root for the good (or at least, better) guys who aren't trying to wipe out the other side.. who aren't going in to massacre peaceful people at a music festival, etc..

Show me where any Muslim leaders are making statements like this about Israel... 1840740049299583355 https://x.com/i/bookmarks/all?post_id=1840740049299583355

Lol, pretty sure you have it backwards. The Palestinians want to completely eradicate the Jews from Israel and get "their" land "Palestine" back which they believe belongs all to them. I've had a shifting opinion on this over the years. I used to really like Ahmadinejad. I think he's right about a lot of things and wrong about a lot of things. But he is very intellectual and I feel like I could actually sit down and have a reasonable discussion about our disagreements. I have yet to see anyone else like that in their leadership. I doubt you could have an honest conversation with any of them. It wasn't long ago, a little over a year, I thought Israel needed to play nice too, but when Hamas went in and started slaughtering a bunch of hippies at a music festival, civilians, women and children, I'm done. I've seen what the kids in Palestine learn, they are infected with a virus. The majority of Palestinians are infected with this virus, and I don't know if there is a cure. Some Israelis are pretty extreme as well, but at least when they would go to bomb civilian buildings that housed Hamas military and equipment, they would flare the building, announce the bombing.. then Hamas would hold the civilians hostage inside the building to die, so they could use the deaths as propaganda to get more funding from Arab nations, whose goal is to eradicate Israel.

Didn't Ron Paul vote excitedly for Reagan on his first run? I think he was less excited in 1984.

Scott Adams, who did test at genius levels on the IQ test, voted for Jimmy Carter in in 1976. Like you, he no longer votes, but for different reasons. Jimmy Carter was such a bad President, he felt somewhat responsible for choosing such a horrendous candidate and decided he wasn't fit to make those kinds of important decisions. However he does advocate for candidates, like Trump, for those who are willing to throw their hat in the ring.

Whiskey and cigars.

Certainly not if it falls under first amendment protected speech.

Lol, more like the "Brain Damage Report", holy shit...

Yes, it's ALWAYS been expected that AJ will win on appeal.. after they sell all his shit, of course.. what recourse does he have at that point? I was hoping you would continue to listen to more of the podcast I posted, Barnes goes into detail about why the families should be suing the shit out of their attorneys, and he has offered to do just that for them. They could make a lot more money if they were able to get some of the profits from the company, rather than just hock the camera equipment.. but the parents want Infowars shut down.. but the whole point of the courts being involved, as I understand it, is to maximize the amount of money the families receive, not decide whether the business should be shut down - assuming that significantly reduces the amount of money they can get.. plus there is the case in the other state, what about those families? What is their recourse if the business gets sold by the parties in the other case? Do they all split it? Apparently Media Matters is planning to offer a bid for infowars, as sort of a "trophy". However, Roger Stone and friends are putting together a plan to buy as well, and keep AJ as an employee who unfortunately makes veeeerrrryyy little money on his W-2 to garnish.

LOL... some attorney you are.. If it had ANY basis in the default judgement, then it is not only relevant to the decision, but telling the whole thing is bullshit. Robert Barnes was one of the advisors/attorneys for Alex Jones before the case actually went to court, the media began running smear articles against him for being involved at all. I believe it was more of an advisory role. Barnes has been a close friend of AJ forever. Barnes told AJ to GTFO out Austin a long, long time ago, he told him it would end up backfiring being in a leftwing jurisdiction. Barnes runs this organization and does a lot of pro-bono work for people who have had their rights disregarded by the likes of you.. https://www.1776lawcenter.com/

Ya you have TDS because you can never admit that Trump did something good. Pretty sure jmdrake has. Even TDS sufferers might reluctantly admit he did something good, but then come back with "but he's a nazi and wants to destroy muh democracy!!"

Incorrect.. People with TDS can't think straight when it comes to any subject that is related to Trump. They will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to make sure they fit within the media narrative. I don't think I accused you of having TDS, did I? Maybe.. but I don't think so. You're more borderline TDS. This issue you seem to be obtuse on because you think it is something to do with race.. when a good portion of the best witnesses we have are actually african american.
