tldr: More timely market manipulation (conveniently released alarmist faux journalism introduced onto newswire as US indices reach VWAP)

    I think support for the war in Texas and similar red states is weaker than you’d think, but with enough dumb F**ks who would be brought back in line with a false flag attack.

      I think you might be onto something. All of my dumbfuck fellow Texans aren’t answering many questions these days on how they feel about the new Iran war. The ones who talk say that Kamala would have done the same thing.

      B-b-but, isn’t that why you voted for the peaceful never-war president??? Good God, I wonder what else he may have lied about!!!

      The Republican political majority and much of the nationally elected DINO contingent fully backs the war. Maybe the people don’t, but they’ll continue to send up people who do to make decisions on their behalf.

      enough dumb F**ks who would be brought back in line with a false flag attack

      Or just an AI video overlaid with TikTok voice that claims there was an Iranian attack.

        5 democrats voted against reining in this current attack. And 3 republicans voted for it. But sure, they’re both the same 🙄

          Just enough defections to guarantee the resolution fails. Cuellar is, incidentally, the highest ranking Dem on the House Appropriations Committee, a job Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries allows him to keep despite needing Trump’s Presidential pardon to stay out of jail.

          Vargas is, similarly, a steaming pile of shit who squats on one of the bluest districts in the country.

          You can go down the list. These are all enabled by national leadership and state level corporate money. They’re symptoms of a corrupt and diseased partisan system.

          Funny how there’s always just enough Democrats crossing the aisle to gain the desired outcome but never more. It’s almost as if the distinction between parties is political theater since neither side is ever allowed to be held accountable for not living up to their rhetoric.
