lol - but that figure has no hips...no lie!

R.I.P. Mariah Ora, we barely knew ya.

Of course you can’t do a complete 180 on foreign policy in 2 terms. The real masters (Lockheed Martin, General Atomics, et. al.) wouldn’t stand for it.

It’s not the best we’ve got, it’s just the best of the two that we have elevated to “real choice” status. It’s the money in politics and the fact that we have an electoral system that creates binaries to blame. Then, it’s just inertia keeping it that way. It’s not like the two parties in power are going to vote for…

Libya? Yemen? For fuck’s sakes, how many civilians were killed by US arms (fired mostly by Saudi Arabia, admittedly, but...here we are lambasting Trump for a Saudi arms deal when...but I digress) in Yemen?!

1. Did you skim over the parenthetical after the UN bit? That poster wasn’t suggesting at all what you’re thinking.

My option is simply don’t try to cause regime change in response to nebulous threats. Iraq was launched to take away a chemical weapon threat that apparently didn’t exist. Trump launched a strike on a Syrian airbase in retaliation to a gas attack that apparently didn’t happen.

Oh, I didn’t realize this was you again. I don’t really know what you’re getting from this but yes I think it’s important to be morally consistent in your argument. The fact that I’ve gotten more people arguing me from making an antiwar post than anything else I’ve posted on a Gawker site is pretty disturbing to me

Sorry for not justifying mass murder. Not sure which ”y’all” you think I’m a part of

I don’t have a problem with it. I have a problem with the slaughter of brown people on the middle East. Challenge that all you want, I’m quite certain I have the moral high ground.

Oh you sweet summer child. Both sides have had the same foreign policy since Truman (with the exception of Carter). Other than that, every President has pretty much done the same thing.

What’s more idealistic than assuming the same failed tactics will suddenly start working just because you REALLY want them to work?

lol Obama didn’t attack those countries you dolt.

I won’t back up that person’s insane apparent love affair with Romney, but they’re right about their criticism of President Obama’s record on attacks.

Uh, what do you call the Libya misadventure? Obama used American military force to overthrow a regime and then did absolutely zero follow-through, resulting in the creation of a failed state across a pretty narrow body of water from the EU, meaning that there is no government in place to combat human traffickers who…

Obama attacked at least 7 counties during his presidency. Amusing you consider him a dove compared to what Romney hypothetically would have done. Can you tell me more about life in this alternative universe?

Always such a bullshit statement. I’d love to hear his ideas about the content of that conversation, but he can start by explaining why muslims should even have to explain to willfully ignorant morons why they and other muslims are not trying to kill them. He can’t even keep his sense of entitlement out of an apology.

Your mom sounds adorable :)

I feel like she’s actually a whipped cream golem.

I just read the column (because someone kindly pasted it into the comments in a thread above) and had the exact same response.
