There had to be at least one democrat better qualified than her.

There had to be at least one democrat better qualified than her.

Didn’t she call Biden a racist in the Dem primary & then when asked about it said, “that was just politics”? If it hasn’t already, the terms “racist” & “Nazi” will have lost any teeth they once had when applying it to actual racists & nazis.

Hamas has told the United States that they can't find 40 living hostages to start the ceasefire deal that Biden and Blinken have been pushing so hard for.

Hamas has told the United States that they can't find 40 living hostages to start the ceasefire deal that Biden and Blinken have been pushing so hard for.

They can't find 40 who meet the categories (women, kids, elderly). There still may be more when you count men. Regardless, awful situation.

We're also warning Israel Iran is looking at striking Israeli territory as revenge for Israel's strike on Iranian generals in the consulate in Damascus.

Hope the parties involved can diffuse this/avoid a bad outcome, but I'm pessimistic.

Not sure what situation Blinken/Bide. Have diffused so far. We need a regime change that realizes how to secure the region.

Japan PM says it best, the world needs the US and we can't just start turning our back

Massive missile and drone strike (100's) towards Israel tonight, majority of them have been shot down it seems

Buckle up everyone, things are going to get spicy

The grown ups are in charge. Remember, we’re going to have a bunch of wars if Trump is ever President.

 

[calvegas04]

Again what does trump do different in this scenario?

As trump has already come out and stated Israel needs to finish gaza

 

[drayer54]

Nobody is scared of Biden and our DEI Army.

 

[TorontoGold]

Support the troops! (But if they’re black or gay fuck em)

 

[Blazers46]

Everyone should be getting fucked, not just the gays and blacks. Appears you watch too many Aids commercials… Fucks for everyone!! DEI dammit!!

 

[drayer54]

A completely dishonest take, but do you.

 

[ulukinatme]

Nobody is scared of Biden and our DEI Army.

Nobody fears this man's actions or respects him. Iran's bold attack on Israel today proves that.

 

[TorontoGold]

A completely dishonest take, but do you.

Right, because the biggest and best army in the world is worse…..because gay and black people. Sound logic! I thought conservatives were supposed to support the troops, silly me for thinking that.

 

[Blazers46]

I will say the “attack” seemed underwhelming. It felt like waiting for a plane to arrive. “Iran sends drones to Israel, should arrive after in flight movie and complimentary snacks” is what it felt like. I imagine Iran knew this “attack” would amount to an aggressive fireworks display.

Pretend to have a real argument. Obviously the most qualified are passed up in the name of DEI. When you don’t hire the best people… you can obviously be better. Your hiring practices and goals sort of explain company/organizational goals. Are these people “qualified”, sure… does it make the military “worse”. Nobody is saying blacks and gays make the military worse… this is you, being an idiot.

Obviously the most qualified are passed up - despite record low applications and acceptance rates increasing? The whole DEI army thing would be conceivable if the numbers backed it up. We’ve gone from sending the blacks to the frontlines as ok, to thinking “nahhhh they aren’t as qualified”. Wild what effective propaganda can do to people.

You aren’t even trying to have a real discussion. This admin has admitted their objectives and goals. They have no intention in most qualified from VP on down. But hey, your cool rhetoric sounds fun and I’m sure you get that blood rush thinking you just made a valid point.

When someone says "DEI Army" they are beyond having a "real discussion".

Did you guys even look at the figures or just what Mr. Twitter man said and regurgitated those talking points? Did you even see that the diversity of the Army increased more during Trump than under Biden?

https://api.army.mil/e2/c/downloads/2022/11/15/62a2d64b/active-component-demographic-report-october-2022.pdf

There's no "real discussion" to be had with people who can't even look past some Tweet they saw to think about whether that's true or not.

Whatever, historically very stable middle east is now destabilized because of Biden's DEI Army! Very salient points made real life adults.

The country is becoming more diverse and I am glad the military is reflecting that as well.

So you admit that anyone calling it a DEI army are wrong?

Do you think that Trump is the DEI president now, or are we going to drop that nifty little moniker? I know other's won't admit they're wrong and just downvote anything that hurts their little sensibilities but you've at least shown a willingness to change.

We had gay and black people when I was in, was no issue. Not sure why it would be. Prior to and after Dont ask was repealed. The point is prioritization and leadership. We’re lacking. That’s why the Red Sea is out of control. That’s why nobody balks when our stooge President says “Don’t” and why our retention/recruiting is not good.

I think you just want to argue. I think you are not arguing the point of his point. I highly don’t @drayer54 cares about the military becoming more diverse. I think the point he is making is that this administration has focused more on DEI than needed, and less on things that are needed while also just being a weak president. You are arguing with yourself I think.

If I said I think Biden cares more about ice cream than his job, I’m not taking a shot at ice cream, I’m taking a shot at his priorities.

Argue? lol my post my laughing at someone calling the US Army the DEI army. I am arguing with you now, because you're making this into something bigger than it is.

IF Biden actually cared about making the army the "DEI Army" it would bare it's self out in the numbers.....it doesn't. So, Drayer and anyone who believes that to be the case is just doing that based on vibez.

To the point - "Who cares if they're black or gay" YOU GUYS DO! Calling it the DEI army as a pejorative shows that you care about the make up of it. If you didn't care.....you wouldn't mention it. And then of course "Well Biden spends so much time on it! He should focus on other things!" Well, he's clearly doing a worse job than Trump at making it the DEI army so, are you angry that it isn't more diverse?

For the whole "conservatives care about facts, and libz care about feelings" aren't you guys just upset at what Biden says and not what he does?

The statement is a statement in priorities. Like I said, if I argued Biden cared more about Ice Cream than military strength you would accuse me of hating cows and dairy farmers.

Because you guys don't say that lol. It's always some weird shit like "DEI Army". How do you even know what his priorities are? The guy can't even get a sentence out, and over at IE we're extrapolating out shit he mumbles out AND that's why Iran sent strikes at Israel.

My goodness you guys give him way too much credit.

Now that it’s said so you can understand, shut the fuck up.

couldn’t happen to a better city. Glad to see Ohare shutdown too. Left-wing activists get all kinds of room to protest, imagine had an abortion clinic been on the other side of the bridge.
