    Unfortunately not all Boardsies agree, and will justify the massacring of innocent people.

    How many innocent people were “massacred” in these strikes?

    I absolutely agree that bombing foreign countries is bad, but not all air strikes are equal

    Brian, come on.

    I know we have our differences...

    All air strikes are equal.

    All air strikes are equal? I completely disagree.

    There is a world of difference between striking a remote military target with smart bombs and dropping munitions randomly on a civilian area.

    Obviously both are wrong, but they are not equal.

    Fireworks ahead of the fourth of July plays well.

    See that the US withdrawal from Afghanistan is picking up pace, will Joe announce a completion on independence day?

    Making non scandals out of lone man's paranoid delusion.

    Speaking of whom: why isn't Fox News reporting one lone word about Tucker Carlson's spontaneous claim that the NSA is spying on him? https://www.mediaite.com/tv/tucker-carlson-alleged-a-massive-scandal-why-isnt-fox-news-covering-it/

    Unless Tucker Carlson is tacitly outing himself as an unregistered foreign agent, then, there doesn't seem any reason for which he would have the NSA spying on him. At worst he is as spied on as the rest of us, through the same style of programs Snowden revealed, such as when you would use gmail cloud storage, if that data was duplicated to servers overseas, it was subject to some degree of foreign surveillance, usually metadata (from, to, IP, time, size). Conceivably, Tucker could have started using his personal phone number to call Vladimir Putin at his desk or something, then, yes, he'd jump to the top of the NSA radar. So either Tucker is up to some shady overseas **** along with Rudy and co. that he has suddenly become extremely anxious about, or he did some stunt to trigger a systemic yellow flag on some NSA system, like communicating with foreign government agents, for the sake of saying 'the NSA is spying on me' which would be like saying the police are spying on you when they pulled you over for speeding.

    Of course nothing stands in the way of Tucker Carlson suing the government if he really thinks all this, but that's not the point. It's to generate noise because otherwise there is nothing else to detract from the remarkably norm presidency underway.

    More likely is that Tucker has been caught doing something really really shady and that story is about to break so he is flooding the field with Sh!t to try to provide himself cover.

    He has form for this in the past.

    If he had claimed that the FBI were doing the surveillance it would have been more believable, but stupid is as stupid does.

    If he lied there should be political ramifications.

    I take it you feel likewise?

    If so, what do you think the political ramifications should be for Trump lying over 40,000 times?

    No suprise to me I must say and no suprise many mainstream media outlets failed to report it.

    Most of the images posted are from articles from last year or earlier. Doesn’t seem like it’s changed anything. Also it being the New York Post, weren’t they recently found reporting falsehoods about the Biden administration handing out Kamala Harris’ book to migrant detainees?

    There’s no actual evidence in this tweet that Biden did anything wrong, just a quote without context or a time and date and a series of images of headlines from a newspaper with very mixed accuracy on factual reporting that tends to endorse Republican candidates, including Donald Trump.

    https://www.mediaite.com/politics/desantis-hails-very-supportive-biden-in-wake-of-building-collapse-you-recognized-the-severity-of-this-tragedy-from-day-one/

    gettyimages-1233751698-24a20d73f430f0f3b500d80737d7416270841b0f-s800-c85.webp

    Ron DeSantis sings Joe Biden's praises. “You recognized the severity of this tragedy from day one, and you’ve been very supportive.” Biden apparently promised there would be no 'bureaucracy' when dealing with FEMA and he agreed Biden had delivered on that. Regarding the condominium collapse on the beach.
    Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) hailed President Joe Biden during a briefing on the building collapse in Surfside, Florida — acknowledging the president’s support in the wake of the tragedy.

    “You know what’s good about this? The way you’re cooperating. We’re letting the nation know we can cooperate,” Biden said to the room after Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava (D) praised DeSantis’ response to the collapse.

    “I want to thank you, Governor DeSantis, your team has been amazing, but you personally have been amazing,” Cava said. “You’ve been a steady, calming, reassuring but forceful voice every second of the way.”

    Biden cut in before DeSantis could respond, noting the importance of bipartisanship and proving to the nation that leaders can look past political differences when “it’s really important.”

    “This is life and death. I just got back from 12 days in Europe, they wonder whether we can do this,” Biden added. “And we’re doing it.”

    DeSantis later thanked the president, adding, “You recognized the severity of this tragedy from day one, and you’ve been very supportive.”

    The governor went on to honor those who either died due to the collapse, or who are still missing one week later.

    “The corporation has been great. The local — both the municipal and the county — have been fantastic, and you guys have not only been supportive on the federal level, but we’ve had no bureaucracy,” he said. “When we’re dealing with FEMA, we’re literally getting requests routed from local to state to federal in no time.”

    Biden then added, “I promised you there would be none,” which DeSantis confirmed with a “Yeah.”

    Depends on which son but if he's talking about Hunter I would be surprised if he didn't discuss business.


    Congratulations though. You may have just demonstrated that he lies 0.1% as often as the last fella.

    More from the DeSantis presser: POTUS has signaled he wants the feds to cover 100% of the disaster relief through at least the first 30 days of the search and recovery.

    “I want to pick up 100% of the cost from the county and the state over the first 30 days. I think I’m quite sure I can do that.”

    Well there goes any chance DeSantis had of getting Trump's endorsement. He won't forgive such treachery.

    Without some serious ring kissing.

    How would they handle living in a country like Canada with all it's socialist ideas around the likes of healthcare etc if they can't survive the Biden administration?

    Like some of the tools over here making similar statements around political outcomes, you never actually see them be true to their word and leave because they are full of sh1t.

    Well you know they can't go south, and they can't go to Europe, or the Middle East, so it's Canada or Russia, Israel or Australia, and it sounds like New Zealand would boil their piss too.
