    that speech was all over the place. i had to replay the last 10 seconds, because i was like, "wat" when she just straight up endorses trump at the end. i knew she had some kind connection to a freak fashy cult and had been playing coy on foxnews, but that was more abrupt than i expected. guess i haven't been paying close attention to her dropped-a-bucket-of-marbles-down-the-stairs political career.

    also, a bit weird to be releasing a fairly anti-"globalist" conspiratorial communique from a vaguely defined confab in Rome. a bit like, "i'm here having meetings at the pentagon and taking a quick break to tell you that my political enemies are in the pocket of the national security apparatus."

      Something she's probably also literally done

    This lady is such a dope. People took her seriously when she ran on stopping "regime change wars," which turned out to be her own arbitrary classification of select wars and not in fact a call to wind down war in general.

    But, me? I’m unique! I won’t be tethered by the deep state because my head is bulletproof!

    What the hell is she talking about? GWB was the last president to get us into war. Which party is war mongering again??

      Tell that to the Libyans, Syrians and Yemeni people. I'm sure they'll be quite relieved to find out that they just imagined the US backed wars in their countries.

      The United States constantly warmongers between other countries around the globe. Both of the major conflicts (Ukraine/Russia and Israel/Gaza) at the moment are largely due to efforts of the United States.

      Both were easily avoidable if the United States didn't have an interest in warmongering.

      This is all true whether it is a Democrat or Republican controlled government, of course. The foreign policy between both of them is almost identical.

      Joe Biden was literally handing wads of cash and bombs over to slaughter innocent Arab children. For the entirety of his presidency.

      "It's not war unless we say so!" Shut up.
