  • The clearest signal yet that buyers may never see either a phone or their money came with a revised terms of service published on 6 April 2026. The updated document states explicitly that paying a deposit 'does not constitute a completed purchase and does not create a binding legal contract.' The payment is described as 'a conditional opportunity to buy the device if Trump Mobile eventually chooses to sell it,' with the company retaining all control over whether a phone is produced at all.

  • She's no victim. She knew what she was doing.

  • Where did I say they didn't? This is the issue. ISRAEL IS NOT JUDAISM. Israel does not mean "Jewish." No more than America is Christian. Stop this line of thinking.

  • It is a real world example of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

    I think the sympathy capital stored away for the Jewish people generated by the atrocities of World War II has not only been cashed in, it's been squandered on political buffoonery, bad wars, and worst of all, it's been utilized to fuel a genocide which is as evil as what the Jewish people survived in Germany.

    I highly recommend The Hundred Years War on Palestine.

    The current genocide issue predates WWII.

  • Glazed and confused.

  • You addressed only one part of my post. I'll reserve my opinion on preparedness since it doesn't seem to really matter.

  • That's not what I was arguing. And I didn't specify Dems. They're part of the problem because they keep capitulating to the GOP.

    Review on your own the percentage of guns registered to Dems vs GOP. Then, remove party monikers and see where the guns are for Left vs Right.

    Last exercise... Do you think if pressed MTG or Tucker would fight for or against whatever alliance forms for Trump? Will the lines be ideological or will they be blurry? Will your own classical beliefs allow you to fight alongside someone who is ideologically different to you but going after the same target? Who leads this hypothetical side?

  • In 2014, the Ukrainian army was fucked. It took 8 years of being occupied for them to "get ready." They built up and prepared and had the backing of the EU to do so.

    Your comparison is not sound.

  • "Delulu" is a great word.

  • Cool. Do you have one at the ready? Are you able to find one if you don't when stores are closed down? When was the last time you saw a pitchfork at the hardware store?

    If you're in a rural area, you'll be more likely to respond with, "Last week," but when shit goes down, it won't be in the 'burbs or in the country. That's where it'll end up, though.

  • A phrase I heard 20 years ago that stuck with me about people who want to move to the woods if things get bad: "if you aren't already prepared, it's too late."

    I hope they were wrong. They probably weren't, though.

  • I've said this 100 times. Our side is woefully unprepared and unskilled in this area.

  • Exactly why I said "or don't." There's a narrative some people accept doesn't allow for much else.

  • I keep hearing equally unrealistic things that hinge on magical one-off situations. "What if he has a stroke?" or "The Dems will win and it will all change." It won't. They're not going to self-regulate any more than they did in the past.

  • It is a valid point, though. Some people don't even realize they're in it. Like frogs in a pot of water, they've been boiled and are unaware.

  • I don't have an answer to your primary question, however...

    I'm not at all in support of the Iranian regime, but be careful with that 30,000 number. It appears to be propaganda and falsified evidence created to help instill support for the ongoing war. There is also evidence Mossad incited the protests and created a false flag within Iran.

    Do your own searching. Or don't. But I'd take that 30k number with a grain of salt.

  • this has been on my mind a lot. we have the means; it's just used by bottom feeders.
