Whoever drew this went to great lengths to keep Israel on the map

I see two outcomes:

• Congress introduces articles
• Impeached, but fails ratification in senate

or

• Congress introduces articles
• Some terrible tragedy befalls us or Israel
• Articles fail and congress backs the war full-throated

There is no version of this that ends in removal, and even impeachment wouldn't be anything more than performative outrage.

The majority of sitting representatives have been waiting for an acceptable excuse to bomb Iran for decades. The only objection any of them have is doing so without manufacturing consent from voters first, but we've already seen how this plays out with Afghanistan. They'll drum up dubious evidence of WMD's and launch their entry, and then spend 20 years trying to 'get out' while securing Iran's material resources on the way.

The only difference this time is that Iran has almost 5x the population and 100x the GDP of Afghanistan in 2001, plus an actual organized military base with proper advanced weapons manufacturing. There's a reason we've waited this long to actually do this, and it isn't because we were busy doing other things. It's because this isn't a war we can win without pulling everyone else into it (or at the very least without isolating them from global trading partners).

It's not a morbid joke to call this a WWIII softlaunch.

Once you've finished this project, you're only a hop and skip away from this 3D printed Machining Mill. He uses the 3d printed pieces as a mold for reinforced concrete, so that it's heavy enough to resist the vibrations so that you can mill solid metal stock.

The single most impressive 3D printed DIY tool i've ever seen.

Just cut that gangrenous appendage of a state off from the handle and send it into the fucking sea

If nothing else our HepC and illiteracy rates would be improved

Seriously though, bombing Iran has been a multi-generaltional bi-partisan wet dream since the bombs stopped dropping in WWII. Nobody is impeaching him for this - like two weeks ago Schumer was goading him for 'being weak' for negotiating with 'the terrorist nation of Iran'. There might be 5 people in total in congress who oppose a war with Iran.

Here maybe this will help:

"Israel has a right to defend itself"

talking about how ~~Israel-born Israelis~~ [native palestinians] ‘belonging’ in the countries of their ~~European ancestors~~ [pan-arabic neighbors]

You forgot this part -

Iran has a right to defend itself

That comment was tongue-in-cheek.

rendered stateless and subject to brutal persecution

Well if they were subject to a differen't ethnonationalist state who had a monopoly on the use of force against them, that would be really bad.

Thankfully, that has never happened before.

Just want to repeat the comment you hid there in case it's relevant to the point being made.

They can also remain in Palestine and live alongside native Palestinians or return to their home countries under the right of return.

The point is that ethnic jews would no longer have the exclusive right of self-determination in Palestine.

Just a helpful reminder that class relations are real, and that most legacy news outlets have a shared class-interest in de-emphasizing class and income as important electoral issues.

There's a really good reason why democrats will seemingly do just about anything to avoid platforming socialist policies - and it isn't because they aren't popular. They see them as an existential threat to their party, because not only would they lose their primary funding sources if they were to stop protecting donors from wealth re-distributive policies, but they'd also lose their network of private sector allies that enable them to govern at all.

Once you understand the scope of the problem, it's really hard to see the two party system as anything other than good-cop bad-cop neoliberal theater.

Which looks worse? A country blatantly attacking its own citizens flying its own flag? Or a country attacking illegal immigrants flying a flag of a foreign country we’ve kinda’ had a war with in the past?

My point is that the protestors are there specifically to protest against the forced deportation of legally present non residents under racist, jingoist pretexts. Those people aren't illegal, but they're being deported because of their foreign status (particularly mexican and hispanic foreign nations). Flying the mexican flag (especially next to american national symbols) is meant to assert their right to be here, and that the community of LA stands with them for their right.

You're suggesting that they instead waive american flags so that it looks like trump is abusing US citizens with the National Guard, when the whole point of the protest was to resist the forceful deportation of immigrants. If they were to 'make it look like they're US citizens' then that would defeat the purpose of that demonstration.

Liberals (idgaf if that's you or not) want to make this about Trump's militarized crackdown on protests because that's what materially affects them, ignoring the reason we're in the streets protesting in the first place.

Please, PLEASE stop being a reactionary and understand how messaging and subtext works.

lmao, that's not what reactionary means. Just fuck off already.
