jmdrake replied to a thread Kristi Noem is a dog (and goat) killer in U.S. Political News

The article I read said that "Cricket" killed multiple chickens belonging to a neighbor that Kristi and to reimburse them for their loss and when she scolded and picked up Cricket, he tried to bite her. I know a lifelong Democrat who had the vet put her dog down for less. (Her dog got attacked by another dog and the dog park, then the next time they went her dog was the aggressor. That was enough doggy death row.) As for the goat? Sounds like that was just an excuse for goat stew.

jmdrake replied to a thread Tucker Carlson @ Joe Rogan Experience in U.S. Political News

That's irrelevant. Eisenhower was able to read. And he read the document from Japan offering its surrender. That's covered in the Jack Hunter video that I was responding to (it's interesting that out of multiple people taking a different position on this you're only responding to me but whatever). And your idea that killing the Japanese "god emperor" would not undermine his position as a god is laughable. And for MacAthor (I'm guessing you're relying on him as your Pacific theater expert? You haven't actually cited a signal source.) that nut job wanted to use nukes in the Korean War.

jmdrake replied to a thread Tucker Carlson @ Joe Rogan Experience in U.S. Political News

Tucker took the overwhelmingly Biblical position on interest. https://www.openbible.info/topics/usury Interestingly enough the early Christian church understood this. Christians couldn't charge Christians interest and Jews couldn't charge Jews. So....they each would lend to the other group as interest. And that was the beginning of the modern banking system. Of course there is a way around without involving government. Peer lending platforms like https://Kiva.org allow people to borrow and lend interest free to invest in small business ventures. And really that's the only debt people should get into. But that requires a complete mind shift especially among religious leaders who's only view of money is "Pay your tithe and offering" as opposed to "Let's pool our resources and be our own venture capital bank."

General Dwight D. Eisenhower disagreed with your conclusion. I have much more faith in his military mind than I do yours. The Japanese had already offered conditional surrender. They were also no longer a threat to attack anyone outside of Japan. Their navy was sunk. Their air force was reduced to a handful of garbage planes that sucked so bad that it was easier to use them as flying bombs than to actually use them as bombers. Hence the rise of the kamikaze which really didn't become a thing until 1944. And just so you know I'm not pulling this out of my ass.... https://www.aei.org/op-eds/japan-was-already-defeated-the-case-against-the-nuclear-bomb-and-for-basic-morality/ “I was against it on two counts,” Dwight Eisenhower, supreme allied commander, five-star general, and president of the United States, said of dropping nuclear bombs on two Japanese cities. “First, the Japanese were ready to surrender, and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon.” And also:

Nobody forces a person to use credit cards or pay that interest. The only reason people are paying 20% on their credit card is because they are spending more than they make.

jmdrake replied to a thread Tucker Carlson @ Joe Rogan Experience in U.S. Political News

It's LAUGHABLE that Stephen Crowder is SOOOOOO pro life that he wants to prohibit abortion from conceptions (I wonder what he thinks of the Alabama ruling that frozen embryos are people which temporarily halted all IVF procedures in the state), ignoring the argument back alley abortions kill women and children (as opposed to just children) and yet he's willing to sacrifice old people, women and children for the sake of forcing Japan to accept unconditional surrender? Japan is a island with limited resources. Say if instead of hopping island to island sending in land troops, we simply kept bombing military targets? No terrorism (which the atomic bombs were). Just military targets? And if we were so against the emperor remaining in power....we could have bombed the imperial palace. There was nothing stopping that. Stephen Crowder's position is actually MUCH worse than the official rules of war set out by Mohammed and about as bad as modern Islamic terrorism.

jmdrake replied to a thread DC circuit court rejects immunity for Trump, SCOTUS appeal is pending in U.S. Political News

Yeah...but you and I both know that the Clintons and the Trumps were friends. Also, Trump tried to at least investigate, if not prosecute, Joe Biden! Of course the difference is that Hillary didn't try to run again. And it's highly likely that Trump wouldn't have been prosecuted if he hadn't tried to run again. Also Biden's Burisma shenanigans were done when he was vice president. And the special prosecutor investigating Biden on mishandling classified documents came to the conclusion that Biden is too demented to prosecute. So....how again are you expecting Biden to ever be prosecuted....for anything? That's especially true if Trump is successfully prosecuted and if those prosecutions prevent him from becoming president. The only way Biden is ever prosecuted is via a Trump Whitehouse / justice department bent on revenge. Really I want Fauci prosecuted more than anybody but that's not likely either.

jmdrake replied to a thread DC circuit court rejects immunity for Trump, SCOTUS appeal is pending in U.S. Political News

I brought this very argument up to a friend of mine when the story first broke that Trump's lawyer conceded that under his argument a president who ordered an assassination of a political enemy. But Obama ordered a drone strike of an American citizen, Anwar Al Awlawki, who didn't even get a trial in abstentia and was only arguably "guilty" or what normally would be considered first amendment protected speech. So....a Democratic or neocon Republican president, with the media industrial complex behind him, can declare a U.S. citizen, without a trial, an "enemy" and kill him, and his teenage son...and later his young daughter, with drone strikes with no transparency or accountability and it's okay because....reasons? Meanwhile Biden is trying to send a left wing black socialist to prison for basically the rest of his life for the "crimes" of saying that America is committing genocide against black people (wasn't that the point of Black Lives Matter?) and that our support of the Ukraine war effort is wrong because that's "Russian interference in our elections." Ummm....okay.

That didn't stop the House and Senate from attempting impeachment for things he did as president. LOL if you think that anybody is going to go after Biden for anything. When Joe Biden was no longer president he bragged on video that as vice president he withheld foreign aid in order to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired. It just so happens that prosecutor was investigating a company that just so happened to be paying Biden's crackhead son $80,000 a year for absolutely nothing. And when Trump tried to withhold aid to get Biden investigated....Trump got impeached. So pray tell how anybody will ever prosecute Joe Biden for anything he's ever done as president or vice president?

jmdrake replied to a thread Trump Sold-Out His Base to Shovel $95 Billion to Ukraine and Israel in U.S. Political News

Oh come on. Let's all be honest here and admit the truth. Trump is a man with ZERO principals! None, nada, nothing. About the only thing he cares about is himself. He's willing to go against his "base" on the COVID vaccines because, frankly, he's proud of that "accomplishment." And when it comes to funding for Israel his "base" is split. LOL at SS for claiming that Lindsey Graham gave Trump credit for helping push this through to "hurt" Trump. Nope. It's to save Trump for the wrath of the Zionist faction of the Teocons and for Lindsey to pat himself on the back for saying "I told you so" to anyone who's been attacking Lindsey for being a warmonger. Lindsey doesn't hate Trump. He's come to Trump's defense on multiple occasions. Lindsey loves war and to the extent that Trump will go along with war mongering, Lindsey is happy to "forgive and forget" Trump not doing "shock and awe" on Iran after Iran shooting down a U.S. drone in exchange for Trump killing the Iran nuclear deal and an Iranian general who was in Iraq as a guest of our Iraqi allies. Lindsey is smarter than most in that he knows how to stroke egos. This was a win for the neocons but so was Rand Paul signing the Tom Cotton letter years ago. Only there have been far more moments like this for Trump than for Rand.

Interesting. So the only way Trump will not sign disastrous legislation is if he has a veto-proof majority?? Leaving aside the fantasy premise that he would actually be good if he had unchallenged power, you know that's NEVER going to happen right? So even in your own delusion, you need Trump and a veto-proof majority. Feels like you lost the script.

Well, to be somewhat fair... Trump's Presidency ended in 2019. 2020 began Trump's re-election campaign. And that's when the world lost its mind. Including his own administration. Trump is out there asking, "are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" The real question should be, "are you better off than you were 5 years ago?" On the whole, I'd probably give Trump a B- up until 2020. in 2020? F-!

CaptUSA replied to a thread FTC bans all new (and most existing) non-compete clauses in U.S. Political News

That was me at my last job, except for the "get fired" part. I quit. And then the CEO and VP's started calling me trying to get me to reconsider. Sorry - you had your chance to listen. (My problems ran deeper than the compensation - it was the woke board, the bureaucratic incentives, their covid response, and of course, the pay) But I do recognize the value of NCA's... This decision is likely unconstitutional. I know an insurance salesman that is sweating this. That's an industry that requires relatively low skills or knowledge to start, but requires good geographic networking. He's got NCA's in place that prohibits his employees from opening a business within 5 miles of his location after a year of them leaving. 5 miles isn't much, but if they leave, they may take some of his clients with them. This new dictate will dramatically change how he hires new people. The fallout is going to be huge if this is allowed to stand. I get the other side, too. NCA's are often abused by employers. But this is throwing the baby out with the bath water.
