  1. When you try to write off 28K for someone peeing on you as “hydrotherapy” I get not wanting that public.

    Anyone getting Peacock for the Chiefs game?

    It’s almost like the NFL and media companies want to soak customers for as much as possible!

    This one is a parody. Hitler wasn’t talking about the 2024 election.

    [** Official President Joe Biden Thread **]

    Biden, who was traveling with a Senator and Governor that he referred to, coordinated with AP on the release of this clip and their article once they found out “ButtMudd013” had put out a thing on his feed that dummies were sharing. That makes sense! State Run Media!!1!

    Feel free to ask for help in the future discerning fake / misleading info on Twitter. It’s really no problem.

    You can just admit the Twitter guy (and you) were wrong. It’s ok.

    [** Official President Joe Biden Thread **]

    Seeing as he was with the Gov and the Senator on some photo opp I think it’s pretty clear. You should prolly read the comment sections of clips like that. If it’s a bigger account with lots of views there is usually some fact checking in there.

    I have it from cable but is debatable if I’d pay for Peacock. They have some decent content - Dan Patrick Show, a couple shows they have done that are good. They had a basketball game I wanted to watch the other day which was new and now this game.

    Houthi rebels vow fierce retaliation

    Well I was but this timeline isn’t too crazy to me. I believe they first started up with this in the Red Sea in late November and then our first ship was targeted mid December. They hit another US ship a couple days ago To me that isn’t an overly long period of time to put together a response, align with allies. In the meantime you can hope things deescalate. When they did it again a couple days ago - light the candle.

    I was referring to Israel deescalating their Gaza attacks and some normalizing there. That is the crux of al this.

    I think waiting isn’t a bad idea. Takes time to align, allows a potential for things to deescalate.

    How would you like to see the US respond here?

    Houthi rebels vow fierce retaliation

    Ours is supporting Israel. If their guy wants to go HAM after they had a bunch of lunatics come in and murder their citizens in the manner that they were it is going to put us in a bad spot. But yeah, sitting over here, Israel is overstepping at this point. Looking at this from a purely practical stance what they are doing at this point is hurting their long term prospects IMO. I thought I had read the manner in which this war is now being fought isn’t popular with Israelis either. If that’s true this can’t continue much longer. The die is already cast though most likely.

    Houthi rebels vow fierce retaliation

    It’s always dicey and no one really knows what is going to happen which is obviously not ideal. This response is appropriate and now we see. This attack on Israel is beyond description. 9/11 type event. Everyone should agree there. There is no perfect response. Captain Obvious statement of the year and all there. I will defer to people who have spent more time on this subject but Netanyahu is a problem from what I see and read. Him being gone would be a positive.

    Houthi rebels vow fierce retaliation

    I don’t know how podcasters are aware of the President’s complete communication with other countries. They can be told something but that doesn’t mean it is true. I would hope there is dialogue happening. Agreed that would be disappointing if true. No one is going to take Israel’s support away. That is a reality. So yeah I think Netanyahu would call that bluff. The bottom line of this question though is what is the proper response here to the Houthis (Iran). For me that is…If we get fired at repeatedly then it is time to blow shet up. You work backwards from there in terms of escalation. But this is a starting point once they do this. Ships have to be able to travel safely through the Red Sea.

    Houthi rebels vow fierce retaliation

    This is fair. You can do both of these I would say - lean on Israel to slow their roll while allowing them to have some form of vengeance. But once our ships are being fired on it is time to blow some shet up. You can’t let that go without any response.

    If the alternative is these asssholes lobbing shet at our ships I think you have to step up to the plate.

    Houthi rebels vow fierce retaliation

    What’s the point of spending 10x the next 5 countries on Defense if some dudes in shacks think they get to launch drones at ships in one of the most important shipping canals in the world? Tried to let these dudes co-exist but that didn’t work. Let’s try the stick for a bit.
