America isn't ready to see the footage of a drone blowing up one of its kids begging for his life.

You get enough of those in a short amount of time, I think you'll actually get people marching into the white house and putting heads on pikes.

People are ok with war until they're forced to watch it.

one of the problems with america is we are so far removed from actually getting our shit kicked in at home, too. we get to sing bootlicking country songs and watch flyovers. while our brainwashed volunteers blow up children in sandy brown places.

if ONE sub base got merc’d on american soil or one land base got got in suburban nashville we’d have a HUGE turn of opinion and probably a civil war.

the owners designed it this way. they were not stupid. just monsters.

Taxing the billionaires could pay for some of those wars you love to do.

Why kill innovation by punishing job creators when we could just toss some more orphans into the orphan crushing machine?

Nothing under the sun is new.

Once again the poor get to go die in a desert and die on the streets so a group of about 100 people can rape kids and play god.

Reminder that healthcare is one of the only growth "industries" in the US economy.

By extension, discount funerals too.
