One of you history buffs, what was the reasoning behind the US shooting down that Iran plane back in the 80s?
 
Remember that this dumbass' initial recommendation was probation with no jail time. Then he hired Victoria Toensing and pushed a defense strategy that, if true, would mean he perjured himself twice in front of the judge in his case. Judge Sullivan asked Flynn twice to reaffirm everything in the guilty plea or withdraw it. In both cases, Flynn reaffirmed that everything in the plea was correct.

Ain't that what just happened in the NFL?

And what I mean by this is, no matter how people want to mask it ... it is what it is and that's WHITES ONLY COME CALLING WHEN THEY NEED SOMETHING. WHEN IT BENEFITS THEM.

That story is bull**** ...

The only reason Lincoln freed the slaves was to punish the south and because they needed more bodies to fight.

IN OTHER WORDS, IT BENEFITED THEM.


Call it what it is .....


Eventually, Young Patriots rejected their deeply embedded ideas of white supremacy – and even the Confederate flag – as they realized how much they had in common with the Black Panthers and Latino Young Lords.

I wouldnt go that far as to call it BS.

Its a known fact that its hard to hate up close.

Segregation is an important component of white supremacy.

Cough "Red Lining" Cough.

Fred Hampton was on to something.

The whole point is that the concept of race is a social construct engineered to keep people divided while the rich get richer...and they didnt even have to give white folks anything but a false sense of superiority.

How else could you get poor unemployed white folks to fight and die to remain poor and unemployed (Civil War) while rich folks just got richer?

There were no plantation owners on the front lines - those saps were fighting and dying to remain poor...because they were convinced that the color of thier skin meant something...and still are.

Same as it ever was...only its undocumented immigrants instead of enslaved black people that are "taking our jobs"... SMH

Rubio sums the trick up nicely.

Haves and soon to haves LMAO!!!

 
I'm sure the very stable genius openly threatening to commit war crimes, and subsequently doubling down on it after widespread criticism, wouldn't dare give such an order.
 
Pompeo defends Trump's threats to commit war crimes after lying about it in an interview by claiming Trump never said anything about targeting cultural sites.

Someone made a mistake. We were supporting Iraq during the war but not directly, just through weapons sales (which led to a whole nother problem). The plane was apparently flying in the ship's direction and wouldn't respond and they got overeager and shot it down, forgetting we weren't actually part of the war. The plane was still over Iranian waters.

According to some people the mistook the plane for a fighter jet. SMH

Others said it wouldn't respond ... but I just think they didnt give a ****, it was Iranian.

The kicker is that the US never apologized and actually commended the ship.
 
I am half way through Nathan Robinson's interview with Erza Klein about socialism. As a Socialist writer I used to like Robinson alot. Now he is so up Bernie's *** I avoid him.

Robinson has a talent for sounding somewhat enlightening one second, then full of **** the next.

He is enlightening about socialist moral urgency, but when it comes to politics and caping for Bernie, dude is off the rails.

It was taped before the UK election and dude is caping hard for Corbyn being come sort of success, and Klein is making the argument Corbyn is a failure cause, you know, he can't win. :lol: :lol:

Edit: Ezra Klein is probably one of the most gracious and polite interviewers around. And I get the sense he is holding back telling dude he is full of ****.
