A big part of the reason people left of center are so angry about platner is the rank hypocrisy the left is peddling

They have spent the last decade calling anybody associated with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars war criminals, genocidal murderers To give an example, Pete Buttigieg spent 6 months in a trailer on Bagram air base tracking Taliban finances via spreadsheet. Self-admitted that he almost never left the wire

All the leftist podcasters, influencers, etc called him a war criminal for doing that

thread on the platner reddit comments that weren't revealed until now

1. He is very clearly an alcoholic

2. he very obviously knew exactly what his tattoo was and it's insulting to deny that

3. Mills was too genteel to use this stuff in her campaign, collins won't be 4. A lot of this is fratboy stuff posted by a guy who was in his mid 30s for most of it

5. how fucking stupid is this guy and his consultants that they not only didn't delete this reddit account, but had a link to it on his campaign twitter account!

A plurality of Americans think that Saudi Arabia did 9/11 and they remain a US ally

For all of its negative PR, the Israeli military and intelligence apparatus is enormously competent. Depending on how you view France, it’s the 3rd or 4th strongest global military Plus Israel’s immunity from domestic politics constraining military action is very valuable to the US

If the US wants somebody dead and doesn’t feel that that we can justify it politically, the Israelis can do it for us

Allentown posting is very revealing at how disconnected people who talk about trade/industry are from the actual world

Allentown and Bethlehem are doing *great* today! Both are thriving eds/meds/tourism towns. The entire Lehigh Valley is a bedroom community and shipping hub Image Unlike many of America's great industrial cities, both cities quickly recovered and are at their all time population highs. The Lehigh Valley has seen double digit population growth over the past 20 years, with the foundation of that growth *the modern economy*

IMO American organized labor is sleepwalking into a crisis

There are three big trends happening for labor:

1. Union members are becoming ever more right wing
2. Labor boosters/organizers are becoming ever more left wing
3. Labor leaders are unwilling to tell their members no Union households still narrowly vote for Democrats, but it's almost even now, and will flip very soon

Meanwhile, the energy on labor's side is focused on progressive coded organizing - coffee shops and grad students (did you know that 1/3 of the UAW's members are grad students)

@agraybee you know the whole "well regulated militia" part of the 2a? that's because when the constitution was written, the entire American military consisted of state militias. These weren't dudes cosplaying soldier in the woods, they were organized military regiments under state govts @agraybee There was an organized state militia, with a state militia commander, and local units that drilled and trained regularly under their own officers. States maintained private armories of guns, powder, and artillery to outfit these state militias
