  • It smells desperation. Give up and accept your failure already.

  • If this is what a pro-life government looks like, Americans only care about “the sanctity of life” when it involves shaming women.

  • I've got an idea, very creative & unconventional:

    You know how we tried to defeat Vietnam militarily and it was a disaster with all sorts of US service members lives lost, their families destroyed and lots of civilians killed? And then we lost anyway? And then after we stopped and, after a while, we started trading peacefully with them? And then how now they are pretty neutral-to-friendly towards us?

    We could try that.

  • Better yet, the Viets became communist in name only and actually quite capitalist. Moreover, they don't like the Chinese in the north, their former ally in the war.

    Wouldn't it be great if Iran becomes our friend and trade partner in two decades?

  • Nah, better yet, send J.D.Vance and one or more of Trump's spawn over to negotiate with them, along with a collection of Trumps speeches to play to them. If that isn't punishment I don't know what is.

  • We won't try that until people who remember and are still angry about The Hostage Crisis (1979-80) die off, or at least aren't in positions of influence.

    it is as unconvential as it can be already

  • The school wasn't Grok, as I understand it it was bad data in Maven.
