4 years of this crap we seem to have forgot it all. Yes, we have been here before… but before the main event (Israel, Iran and the US.) to start, how did we get here?
    Oh, I don’t doubt through purging and machine manipulation Harris lost, Trump won. I have NOT abandoned that stance. And NO, I DON’T care if Bill Clinton claims Trump won fairly.
    He has been wrong before, starting with a smart man still getting BJ’s while he KNEW Gingrich and his thugs were looking for ANYTHING to take him down, to his dedication to corporatism.
    I get it. The Court had basically handed our government over to corporations and the rich with “money is speech” and “corporations are people.” And while the 3rd way helped him win, in the long run it has devastated the country.
    So one obvious long term memory loss is how Dems keep losing elections, and the obvious WHY most Dem leaders don’t want to address.
    Another more recent example of long term memory crisis: when it comes to Iran it’s not as if we haven’t been in a situation like this before… a leader using war to distract and gain support. When it comes to the attack on Iran our long term memory problem has probably gotten a lot of people killed, and maybe started a war we don’t need. It’s up to Iran to be the big nation and act more civilized.
    Do you trust them?
    Yeah, neither do I.
    Forgotten… Netanyahu told us about the nuclear weapon they were developing and the danger of them having one. Told us SEVERAL TIMES: over 3 decades. Interesting how they have never used one on Israel before, or now. Interesting that now a Net regurgitation of the old tiresome claims cause us to help hit them.
    Israel has bombed Iran before. And we’re helping repeat this old pattern that solved NOTHING? Are we learning yet?
    Interesting how they have never used one on Israel or otherwise. Interesting that now a Net regurgitation of the old tiresome claims cause us to help hit them.
    What we have is two cowboy leaders who have been in trouble for a long long time. Can you say “look over there?” Can you say, “Distraction?”
    Considering his history with HAMAS: helping to fund them, I wouldn’t be surprised if Net has helped them in this category too.
    Leaders should be doing what’s best for their nation: even if that might lose them an election. Over my 71 years I have noticed this great standard has been turning more and more towards dictator and dictator wannabe tactics. Help create the problem, “solve it,” but you know the solution will make it worse. Of course blame that on those who oppose you. Don’t rinse, but absolutely repeat.
    And why does this remind me of Iraq? Oh, yeah: the yellow cake uranium lie, the “we know exactly where it is” lie, and pushing our security services like the CIA to use false narratives. Example: Curveball. Which was like a dog using information from a company to save his genitals, and the name of the company: Neuter Em All, Inc.
    So once again we’re being sucked in by leaders who truly suck at what they do because we don’t remember what has happened again and again.
