@kennaayyy No Lie on Iraq.
Stating as true what you believe to be true is not a lie.
Governments are not omniscient.
Saddam Hussein was a foreign actor who went to great lengths to prove his WMD ownership.
The evidence is that he succeeded, not that he failed and everyone lied.

I’ve been yelled at by countless people over the last few months demanding that I stop supporting the “genocide” against Gaza.
I can’t express how exhausting it is to be in modern politics, constantly indundated by shallow talking points and half-baked analysis of literally anything. Our national discussions have become 4th grade level reality TV instead of the serious and nuanced debate of complex issues that our people deserve.
In this case, I only see one side who would commit true genocide if they could. Hamas. And who supports Hamas? A large portion of Gazans and Palestinians generally. This is one of many genocidal clauses found in the Hamas official charter:
“The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and
kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’” (Article 7).
My heart breaks for innocent children raised in Gaza by monsters who have created a war and used them as shields for their “jihad.” It’s horrible and disgusting.
But there is no question as to where the fault lies: with Hamas and their many, many supporters.
@rooseveltgamble@RepDanCrenshaw That’s stupid talk. The Israeli Government did not know that the attack on October 7 was coming for years.
Did they know that Hamas wanted to murder them all? Yes.
But to suggest that the Israelis intentionally let this happen is stupid talk.
The EPA is one of the most dangerous agencies in America.
Why would I say that?
Because it's one of the agencies that affects your life the most.
The rules and regulations that the EPA has promulgated under the Biden Administration affect your ability to buy a gasoline car in the future - they affect your ability to afford your electricity bill - they affect the ability to build the infrastructure we need to meet future energy production.
Everything this agency does affects your life more than you think, and it is not exposed nearly enough.
Way too many women think real life violence works like movie violence. It does not. Men are bigger, stronger, and even at a similar size, far denser with muscle and bone.
I have an aunt who was on the far right side of the bell curve of female toughness. Nearly six foot tall, and way stronger than normal because she was a dairy farmer. Like regular people can’t even sorta understand how strong farmers get, all we do is lift. Then she decided to become a prison guard, working at a male, maximum security prison in California. She did this way back when women had to meet the same physical testing standards as men and passed. Then she did this for an entire twenty year career. A few times during that she ended up in knock down, drag out fights against men who were trying to kill her. And all she could do was hold on for the rodeo and wait for help.
This is somebody way stronger and tougher than most women, comfortable with extreme violence, and trained to restrain violent offenders. And she would be the first person to admit that at best she could slug it out with a below average man. Any bigger than that and she was in deep shit.
Trained, very strong, experienced, far outlier female who could beat the shit out of 99.9% of other women, against an average man? Unless she gets real lucky, she’s doomed. And anybody counting on luck to win a fight is a sucker.
So yes, sadly, even an unfit, unskilled man will still have a physical advantage over most women in an unarmed encounter. No amount of wishful thinking will change that. That’s one reason why tools like guns, knives, and pepper spray exist to close that gap.
No matter how much this hurts anyone’s feelings, it’s just basic reality. And reality don’t give a shit.

Charges against illegal immigrants who rushed border personnel on March 21 have been dropped by a liberal judge who dismissed all 211 riot charges. Border personnel continue to sound the alarm - as a nation, as a state, we need to have their backs.
