The Azadi stadium, home of the famed Persepolis F.C. and the Iran National team, and is hallowed ground in the struggle for women's rights in the county, has been damaged by missile strikes.

Why call senators? Shouldn't we be calling the local DA?

Ftr, mullin isn't "in", he has to be confirmed by the senate.

My opinion on the Texas Democratic primary for Senate is that Texas Democrats should decide and everyone else should STFU.

I don't even say it because he was so obviously wrong, which he obviously was, but he is so dumb, literally dumb, he can't even articulate BS reasons for his prediction. Remarkable.

He sounds like Hilary Clinton there. Ironic.

I'll say this about the Iraq War, at least I knew the lies about why we were going to war. With Iran, I don't even know what the made up shit is.

What does this have to do with the OP or any response to it?

Yeah but I remember once when Obama saluted a soldier while holding a cup of coffee in the other hand. Now THAT is disrespectful.

Secretary Rubio's remarks indicate that Israel put U.S. forces in harm's way by insisting on attacking Iran. And the administration was complicitβ€”joining their war instead of talking them down.

This is unacceptable of the President, and unacceptable of a country that calls itself our ally.

Nah, you know what, I'm blocking you. Insulting trolls ain't for me.

Do you come here just to insult people? You're the one who came here to pontificate. I just responded. But now go ahead, tell me why you think it's a good thing for Dani Rojas to play for the El Paso Locomotive. How does it add entertainment value?

We are going to war for Israel. Americans are dying to protect Israel. For the record, Israel has never fought for the US.

I mean, if you want to argue he's qualified, I think the burden is on you to explain, not me. Look at Seb Guenzatti, he's 34, been playing competitive soccer for 20 years straight now, and he can't make it in USL Champ anymore. What does Rojas have that Guenzatti doesn't?

I'll ignore the insults. You don't think it's important that a player be qualified to play a sport that people pay to see. I do. We disagree, fine. But now you're disagreeing that it's highly unlikely that a 35 year old who hasn't played competitive soccer for 20 years is qualified for this level.

Why does it matter to you, you don't care if he's good enough to play at this level or not, right?

If I want to see a circus, why go to a soccer game? Just go to the circus.

02.03.2026 22:47 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

But why is it entertaining? For most people, it's entertaining either because 1. you want your favorite team to win, or 2. because of the high level of ability of the players. If a player serves neither, why are you watching? In fact, their ruining the experience.

02.03.2026 22:46 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Because the people who compete in sports devote themselves entirely to compete at a high level, and we are interested in watching them because they are so serious about and so good at their craft?

First, I agree with you that this is completely idiotic and barbaric. However, some of the mass protests that have been taking place in the last few weeks were calling for the Shah's grandson replacing the mullahs. Again, not disagreeing but it is a complicated situation on the ground in Iran.

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy.

So let me say a few things. 🧡1/
