    1. Yes, we should arm the insurgents of another country, because, when has that plan ever backfired?

    2. I’m embarrassed that he represents my state. Despite my continued votes against him, he still has a job

    3. It gets said often, but fascists determine the morality of an action based on the people involved, not the act involved. Everything to them is situational and subjective, they have zero abstract morals. It is literally: People they like can do no wrong, people they hate can do no right. And these people don’t think about any issue beyond that simple system of hierarchy-based morality. The “Good guys” are always right and the “bad guys” are always wrong, period. And this is why engaging in good-faith discussion or debate with them is futile. They don’t view reality the way regular people do, and they can never be convinced to adopt an objective unbiased system of morality.

      This also causes problems in the real world because our legal code is objective, not subjective, so laws they pass to hurt the “bad guys” keep being applied to the “good guys” too, and they’re always so damn shocked when that happens…as if it was impossible to see coming. For them it actually was, because objective laws and values goes against their entire belief system.

    4. Yeah….the Republicans don’t really get the whole irony thing. Must have slept through English class as well as history.

    5. Quick reminder that the US also armed Iraq to fight against Iran… that went just about as well as arming afghans to fight against the Soviets

    6. Oh yeah by all means keep sending our plummeting dollar overseas while US citizens can barely afford groceries and heat through the winter
