  Have you seen the one about the shoes? I'm conflicted which is less astonishing

    I actually found shoes thing astonishing. In the "I would think it is a bullshit in a normal world".

    Are you talking about the Trump-branded shoes on amazon or the $145 Florsheim Shoes? https://www.amazon.com/donald-trump-shoes/s?k=donald+trump+shoes https://www.amazon.com/donald-trump-shoes/s?k=donald+trump+s... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-is-obsessed-with-these-145-shoes-and-won-t-let-anyone-leave-without-a-pair/ar-AA1XOEBm https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-is-obsessed-wi...

      The ones he's obsessed with, apparently what happens is he gives them out, they don't fit, and the cabinet is still wearing them, as evidenced by a number of photos
      - fhdkweig 7mo ago
        And it hasn't occurred to them that they can just take them to a store and get them exchanged for the correct size and not tell anyone?

        The risk of being found out, thus showing Trump made a mistake, probably outweighs any common sense we might try to project.

Having previously worked for the defense intelligence agency, I can tell you nothing about that is surprising.

This is about the most horrific thing my government has done in my lifetime. It's hard to even process. In any other context I think we'd call it terrorism.

    That the government also does other horrible things does not negate the argument. I am not sure why you would bother saying that. This one is literally a war crime.

Nothing will happen. It takes force to prosecute war crimes.

  How many has America killed since Khomeini came to power decades ago? Paraphrasing Frank Reynolds, you have to be a real low life piece of shit to be proud to be American.

But Trump said that Iran used its Tomahawk missiles to attack its own school
- CrzyLngPwd 7mo ago
  Why the downvote? He actually said it.

I understand there was a military installation near the school. How is someone supposed to deal with that? War is not really an “exact science”
- fhdkweig 7mo ago
  There are schools located on US military bases, not just near. That doesn't make them viable targets. You better believe that if an attacker hit a school on a US base, the soldiers wouldn't forgive that so easily.
  - thefounder 7mo ago
    Well that’s not very smart IMHO. To me they look like human shields. Shame on me as I was blaming Hamas for using residential compounds for military ops but it looks like everyone does it. I wouldn’t send my kid to a school on military base especially in times of imminent war. I label that gross negligence and even provocation.
    - fhdkweig 7mo ago
      The problem is that the soldier parents want their kids to live with them on the base. The alternative is they have their kids live in an orphanage somewhere else until they decide to retire, or soldiers just aren't allowed to have kids at all. Neither is very realistic, so there are schools on bases.
      - thefounder 7mo ago
        Orphanage ? What about a school 2 miles away from the military installation or in Iran's given case why don't they move their sh** at the edge of the city like the shopping malls do? It may be a bit inconvenient, I get that it's inconvenient but it's far from the orphanage story. Not to mention in case of war...should the kids be kept close to a military base? Military installations within residential areas just beg for civilian casualties. Is as simple as that. If you see a military base near you move out or ask them to move out.
