Chuck Schumer fucking sucks.
- I've hated him since he forced Al Franken to resign rather than defend him over a cheap Republican smear job. The smug little creep embodies everything that is wrong with the Democratic party. It's long past time for him to go.
  
  Al Franken forciblely kissed Leann Tweeden and was photographed feeling her up while she was asleep. Fuck Al Franken and fuck anyone who would defend that behavior.
“Vichy Democrats”, i.e. “Democrats”
I’m gonna be real with you guys.
I don’t want Iran to have a nuke. The bombings of their fissile material enrichment facilities really doesn’t bother me.
However, I am not really fond of Israel starting the war and inevitably dragging us into prolonged conflict. Especially considering what they have done in Gaza.
It’s complicated.
- Obama had a deal with a iran where we got to baby sit them to be sure. Iran wanted it for nuclear power. But trump had to screw it up, then let Israel start shit worse then ever before all over the middle east.
  Maybe we wouldnt be worried about Iran having nukes if the whole region hadnt become such a hot bed that it is, again thanks largely to Israel for the past century trying to take over all the middle east thinking its their god given right.
  
  I agree with you, I just think that the practical side of things, as they exist today, meant that Iran needed to be stopped from having a nuclear weapon.
  I’m all for stopping meddling in the Middle East and reigning Israel in. What they are doing in Gaza is unconscionable.
- If you are against WW3 then you should be against the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. Bombing another country is an act of war, we are in another war now. It is not our place to decide what countries are and aren’t allowed to invest in nuclear technology.
  Nuclear reactors are a peaceful technology that provides lots of clean power. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent for invasions and attacks. If Iran actually had nuclear weapons they would have been flaunting them to keep Dump in check.
- We aren’t the fucking police.
  
  Don’t want to be. Do you want religious extremists to have nukes?
- The bombings of their fissile material enrichment facilities really doesn’t bother me.
  This sentiment is exactly why Iran and other countries WILL get nukes.
  
  No, they will not.
- Unfortunately for you, israel and Trump all but guaranteed that Iran’s survival depends on them getting nukes.
  
  Then I guess they will not survive because that isn’t going to happen.
- Starting?
  Israel and Iran have been at war for decades.
