The last time Republicans played with tariffs, it took them about a decade to regain power and about three decades to regain the initiative in the debate. Unless they break democracy and invalidate the results somehow, I think that’s where we’re headed.

Dude, I’m not going to answer you again. Your replies don’t make any sense. I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. What the hell does China have to do with anything I’ve said? I have spoken about the role of the other Muslim countries; China is not one of them.

If I missed what? a joking response to a forceful attack? Iran made it clear that it did not want to get involved and did the minimum necessary so that its ridicule was not absolute, spoiler, even so the ridicule has been absolute. Can you tell me how many Iranians died in direct Israeli attacks and how many Israelis died in direct Iranian attacks?

oh yes, he is sending the money to not really break relations, but they have literally bombed his country, they have virtually wiped out his main allies except the Yemenis and they have responded in a basically symbolic and timorous way. Its regional leadership has been completely dismantled

but what are you talking about? At what point have I said anything even half positive about China or Russia on this topic? History had no weight in the '70s or '80s when the Arab countries confronted Israel directly? I think you should learn to structure your arguments and read what other people say before trying to sell your ideas without any

I think that because in the face of a clear genocide of their “Arab brothers” they have done nothing, in fact, they continue to be aligned with the USA and Israel and the Abraham treaties continue to advance. An even greater shame than that of the West, because it is assumed that they were the allies and brothers of the Palestinians, a total betrayal

Yemen has at least tried to do something, within its size and possibilities of course, Iran has shown that all these decades of talk were just that, talk, a shame and blaming only Western countries (which I do not deny their guilt) is not going to change that betrayal.

I think the rest of the Arab countries are also aligned with China and Russia.

I’m not going to look for anything; you say it with such conviction that I simply believe you. I wasn’t sure either, as I already told you, and in any case, we’ll all know for sure after the vote.

Anyway, I imagined something like a Senate inquiry committee requesting information from the Department of Justice or something equivalent. I suppose they don’t need anyone for that; the DOJ would be obligated to respond to that request, right?

I’m not sure what I’m going to say, but I think you’re wrong. What they are going to do is not a law; Congress does more and has more authority than just legislate. If I’m not mistaken, the idea is to give a direct order to the Justice Department to release the files; they don’t need to go to the Senate or through Trump’s office. That’s why they’re so nervous in the government; otherwise, what would be the point of seeing Trump acting crazy about it?

You’re right, I should have said undetectable to the flavor, but it was a joke and I didn’t give it much thought.

Unrelated. Does anyone have a list of poisons that are undetectable in an autopsy? It’s for a friend.

I have never killed anyone, but I have read some obituaries with great personal satisfaction.

The theme of the party is appropriate given the circumstances, I don’t think the attendees will understand it, but it is clearly significant

Not always. I’m from Spain, and you can read about how our dictator Francisco Franco ended his life (spoiler alert: his regime lasted from 1939 to 1977).

Unfortunately, the real world is not like a movie where wars are always won by those who defend the most just cause.
