AOC Rules!

Re: AOC Rules!

Well you’d literally have to ignore his history of drone strikes on weddings that killed tons of civilians to not agree with it and the broad support he had for his handling of the war on terror.
 
Re: AOC Rules!

You can against all that without implying that Obama is a murderer who got away with it cause he had a nice smile.
 
Re: AOC Rules!

Every American president since FDR is a murderer. Even Carter. It's not avoidable.

The only thing one can do is try to limits the murders, be as transparent as possible, and make restitution where practical.

You don't get to run the world unless you're a killer.

? - why "since FDR"? Innocent people have been getting killed in American wars since the Revolution. That doesn't make those conflicts, particularly the Civil War and WWII, unjust.

Before FDR it was a far more privatized effort. The forces that took down Central American governments in the 1890s - 1920s were really mercs, even when they had state sanction.

It's only since the permanent installation of the MIC that we've been murdering people worldwide every day just in the normal course of keeping our 1%ers rich, war or no war.

Yeah but certain things are more avoidable than others, like drone striking a bunch of civilians going to a wedding or other weddings in which women and children were indiscriminately bombed. Her point is accurate, we haven't had a sane foreign policy in a very long time and that includes Obama, even if he was better than Bush II, Trump, Clinton, or Reagan.

Ah, I see. Hey, do you guys have like a convention or some other get-together that I can sit in on? I promise not to bring any recording devices or even say anything, but I sure am curious what kinds of theories get thrown around when people like you and trix are in the same room together.

Re: AOC Rules!

Me too. We spent more time at the bar than discussing whacko conspiracy theories!

Law school, business school and other forms of vocational training do not count.

By Graduate I mean liberal arts and by School I mean tier 1.

I'm not sure what to make of this take...financing something doesn't mean they should be liable does it?

I'm with you there. I think her point is that the people using the pipeline aren't paying for the clean up either. That scenario has played out thousands of times and we as a society continue to just let it happen.

Maybe her point is that they should not be financing it unless clean up is part of the deal. But, that would be government regulation which we can't have because, Republicans.

Liberal arts = lost ambitions. Why do you need two extra years to learn underwater basket weaving?
