This reply makes absolutely no sense. None. I wasn’t addressing Trump. I was addressing you for being completely wrong and out of touch with the timeline.

The only time Donald Trump did a Red Cross was when he tore open two ketchup packets over a naked teenage girl and marked his assault spot.

You’re read the allegations. Allegations are NOT facts. Do I believe the women? Yes. Do I think there is more to come? Yes. Again, I believe the woman. But throwing out the word facts at this stage is very premature. Voting and the law are very different and shouldn’t be intertwined at this stage.

If someone can tell me how to stop the nonstop hairy gay men accounts that fill the last 1 hr feed? No offense gay hairy men but you aren’t my jam and there needs to be a NSFW filter.

I’m struggling to see how Iran isn’t stronger on Apr 9, 2026 than before Feb 2026. A dead 84y cleric was easily interchangeable. Since the Iranian gov’t didn’t care about their citizens prewar, the current war dead are irrelevant. Iran is standing and Iran is now a high priced tollbooth collector.

Brilliant meme. Yes, Iran government is horrific and needs to be overturned from within. For other reasons so does the U.S. government. Which religiously governed regime topples first?

I understand and appreciate the intent but I stand by my comment. No one in America who was alive for 9/11 and who needs empathy reflection will reflect. The people of Lebanon deserve their own form of reflection by the world.

With Google using AI for most coding now and soon to be 80 percent Gemini within their search business what are environmentally aware people supposed to do now and ahead. The calls against ChatGPT and the like are starting to sound like those calling for gas station boycotts one day a week.

Can we skip the 9/11 rhetoric and stick to the facts. Israel committed crimes against humanity April 8. That's what matters here. Injecting a comparison of a previous terrorist attack cheapens what just occurred in Lebanon.

Same age as Tom, army veteran, and one week from basic training completion when Iran took our embassy. I never took much stock in Cold War rhetoric figuring the Russians wanted to watch another sunrise. This is the first time I’ve questioned assuming more sunrises via a madman’s miscalculations.

Everyone else doesn’t have nuclear weapons. Three countries have the nuclear capability to hit the U.S… Russia, China, NK. No one else. What could they possibly gain nuking us knowing they wouldn’t exist minutes later. Unless an errant missile or Russia decided to nuke Kiev then all bets off.

I’m not sure where you are coming up with that conclusion. A small sample size based on a small sample of social media? Many of us are terrified today but perhaps not expressing that here as you are. Show mercy as people work through what’s potentially possible.

I live at ground zero of a response nuclear strike against the U.S. Instant vaporizing. I’ve accepted that long ago. That said, while I’m feeling a level of nuclear war anxiety I’ve never felt in 65 years, my current thought is to unless an errant nuke hits Russia who is launching at the U.S.?

Will the U.S. military obey a direct order from their commander in chief to drop a nuclear weapon on Iran? That’s the real question here. If yes, there is no turning back. In 1945 we had the only nukes so there was no short term risk of reciprocal. We don’t live in 1945.

Why do people believe in an invisible being who allows things like the Holocaust? Humans have a way of avoiding the uncomfortable with regard to themselves but perfectly fine allowing discomfort to others.
