[GoodShepherd]

Grain supply chain is being affected by the war with Iran, food prices could potentially increase until they figure out the logistics and insurance.

In times of great stress and uncertainty, creativity often flourishes. This is a really neat political cartoon.

Did you watch the video dolt? He was bastardizing the Marine Hymn "from the Halls of Palestine" which is not in our Hymn and going on an about Palesestine.

I was in the Marine Corps. I can call his behavior inappropriate. I earned the title.

I understand that keyboard warriors don't get it... But its offense to me that other Marines act that way...even as I don't agree in this conflict being justified.

Every Marine knows you don't do shit like that because you politicize the uniform. It's against the UCMJ and it's disgraceful.

I didn't actually watch the video initially, so I decided to watch it.

The first minute of video is him saying nobody wants to fight for Israel, and that Americans shouldn't die for Israel.

After that point, he breaks his hand, you can hear it crack, and he goes quiet.

He mentions Palestine exactly three times in the videos 5 minutes and 31 second length.

At 2:41 he says, "Free Palestine from the Halls of Montezuma, to the Shores of Tripoli."

Then he says "Free Palestine," then he goes quiet again. Then he says it again near the end, and "**** the war in Iran."

I think accusing him of bastardising a hymn for a single line spoken after he's broken a bone is a little bit uncharitable.

As for politicising the uniform, I think you are right on that. He could have dressed in civilian clothes and it probably would have gone down the same.

You're not a Marine you have no idea what you're talking about and you don't understand what the Marine Corps hymn is about and what it stands for.

Its insulting to the Corps and bullshit

Of course it wouldn't get the clicks... Which is all this dude cared about.

Re the Marine veteran; sometimes the rules need to be broken for truth to prevail.

I understand where he's coming from but doing it in uniform is not something that I would do or is the way to go about it.

Got lots of attention though

Here's an interesting blast from the past. Rubio giving a speech about Iran from back during the Obama administration.

Thanks for that... You made my day with this retardery... Equating this guys inappropriate charade a rousing lecture from king Baldwin is really rich.

More tard slop.

Any I'm getting off topic.

I think the GOP is trying to see just how big they can lose in November. The DNC can come out and support free healthcare for illegal aliens and still destroy the GOP at this point. I can't believe their "PR team" is this bad.

 

[Thomas More]

Senator Chris Van Hollen issues a damning statement after the Senate classified briefing:

"Just a little earlier I got out of the administrations briefing to the Senate about the situation in Iran. And what we are hearing behind closed doors is essentially the same as what we are hearing in the public domain, which is complete incoherence.

No explanation for why Donald Trump broke his promise to the country when he said he wasn't going to drag us into additional wars, and constantly shifting narratives about what this is all about, right?

Even today in the Oval Office, you know, the president was spinning all sorts of rationales. On the one hand, they say it is to go after Iran's nuclear program. We know Iran has no nuclear weapons capability. After all, we know the president told the country that it had been decimated last year.

So then, they say, we are going to go after Iran's ballistic missiles. Well, Iran has no ballistic missiles that can get anywhere close to the United States. Zero.

And, of course, then Donald Trump said he was going to liberate the people of Iran. But if you look at the public reporting about the CIA's assessment, it says that they concluded that if you get rid of the Iranian leadership, you're very likely to get a much more, even more radical group in their place.

But we do know from Secretary Rubio that Netanyahu decided to strike Iran. And so here we are, doing what Netanyahu said he wanted to do for 40 years, which was to attack Iran. It's just that Netanyahu had not found a president stupid enough to drag the United States into that war before. And now Donald Trump has done it, and they don't have a clue as to what the end game is."

I can't see any reason for quoting this guy. Might as well quote Adam Schiff. Even if he unintentionally says something true, you could only know it is true based on getting the information from some other source that is trustworthy.

I see Fauxcahontus has also come out saying the private briefing didn't satisfy her.

Come folks. Let's have at least a little discernment.

The marine guy reminds me Dan bilzerian, Tate weirdos, Kanye west, Nicki Minaj or whoever else I'm sure you guys can name a lot more than I can. Different circumstances all of them but same category....

We may like what they are saying but that doesn't mean they are any less of an embarrassing disaster.

You've seen the Epstein files. You know what's going on.

Are you really going to say any shots against Israel and Mossad are unacceptable when they are eating people, raping children and worshipping Satan, and boasting about it?

Apparently the guy is actually a leftist.

To be clear, as I said, I'm not disagreeing that he shouldn't have broken the rules to get attention.

But was what he said wrong?

 

[LaAguilaNegra]

This is not what 'China is estatic, Iran is America's Ukraine they're going to bankroll+ arm Iran', 'Russia will cover us, 10 million bpd export bro' and 'China' strategic oil reserve are rock solid' look like.

As always an acceleration in propaganda and cope narratives is visible just before reality is slow dripped into the discourse.

Hes a piece of shit doing that in uniform. It brings scandal and is against the expectations all Marines have if behavior.

He then goes on to replace words in the Marine Corps Hymn with Palestinine.

It's the slop that non veterans love when it suits their agenda and the antithesis of how we are called to behave in uniform (discharged or not).

Thats my point. I stand by my comments.

Typical boomer bootlicking.

Where is the evidence that he is some Palestine activist? You don’t have any.

Forget the uniform. At some point people need to stand up and send a message. This is extremely symbolic. This is a defining moment for this country. God bless that man.

No evidence that he is a Palestine Activist? This seems like a strong statement about someone who just stood up in Congress and gave a hard core anti-Israel statement. What would it take to constitute evidence someone is a Palestine activist?

I mean, even if you agree with him, it's hard for me to see how you can say there's no evidence that he's a Palestine activist. His action in Congress is evidence!

 

[RedLagoon]

I'll redact when I said I knew where he's coming from lol.

He's used to discredit anyone against Israel to be an Islamic stooge, which is obviously not the case with any of us here but it's the usual war propoganda.

More likely no evidence poster can use logic to deduce context from video either apparently.

Sorry @aero but if it quacks like a duck I'm calling it
