  • Mayors could end that in a heartbeat by firing the police chief and other top brass in the department and setting new standards. If you are more rural a lot of times you have even more power and directly elect sheriffs.

  • It’s funny how quickly democrats turned on Tulsi saying she was a Russian plant back in 2016 and now that she continues to spew Russian propaganda supporting Iran everyone is acting like she is the bastion of truth.

  • Yes, one day for no reason at all Israel decided to blow up Irans secret nuclear facilities.

  • Pretty much the only people who claim it doesn’t exist is Iran. The only reason the UN can’t verify is because anytime they do surprise inspections they aren’t allowed into the facilities. No need to bury your refinement facilities 300 feet underground if you are making energy grade nuclear materials.

  • Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?

  • I don’t think “Americans” is a good term considering a little over half of Americans prefer non-interventionist policies. Ironically, interventionist policies are bipartisan, with a large portion of both democrats and republicans taking neo-isolationist approaches to American foreign policy. Intervention can be one of four major fields referred to in politics as DIME (diplomatic, informational, military, and economic). Examples would include UN for diplomatic (we intervene via power held in the UN), 5 eyes for informational (we allow NSA to spy on allies, as long as those allies provide us with material about our own citizens), military (republicans prefer big bombs and boots on ground, Obama loved his drone strikes), and economic like NAFTA.

    I feel you may be viewing this solely from a military perspective which is why I wanted to highlight these other means. Liberal IR theory actually encourages DIME, via rule of law and consensus via other democratic nation states, I.e. if Canada, and the EU want us to intervene in the Middle East, should we mind our own business? Liberal IR theory would suggest not, and that we are not being a world player. The main hypothesis in Liberal IR theory is actually the same as its more aggressive big brother called Realism or more commonly known form as “Realpolitik”. Both posit that the international order exists in a form of anarchy and it is the responsibility (whether hegemonic or multipolar) to control this anarchy via law ( for liberalism) or via power (for realism).

    Generally, more of the academics you will read on this topic whether liberal or realists will claim that Americans were pulled in via a vacuum and didn’t force its way in. There are also deeper theories in this about Bipolar and regional hegemony that better explain the post WWII world. Pre-Soviet collapse, the first world appreciated the aggressive American approach as it lent a balance against the aggressive USSR. If it weren’t for the USSR, America would have returned to the western hemisphere and not intervened unless asked to by Western Europe

  • Generally the most welcoming and comforting places are men’s clubs and groups, so much so, that women have fought legal battles to get into male only spaces like fraternities, gyms, clubs, societies, etc… yet there are no men fighting to get into women’s spaces. Really makes you think… the most toxic workplaces I have been involved in were the jobs I had where women dominated the demographic. There was constant bickering, backstabbing, and gossip that me and the men didn’t want to participate in and certainly couldn’t keep up with. It wasn’t until my desk got moved to a factory floor that was heavily male dominated that people cared and looked out for each other more. This may have been because of the safety culture differences of a factory floor vs an office, but it felt deeper than that. Happy hours were actually happy and not filled with angst, no office drama, I could be more open and honest because my male coworkers wouldn’t get “the ick” if I was having a bad day and actually looked out for me, etc… I think women use the “patriarchy” as this nebulous, abstract thing that they can just place all of their failures and shortcomings as a person on so that way they don’t have to face the truth that deep down they are a disgusting person.

  • Never convicted of rape, said he doesn’t agree and won’t implement project 2025, he didn’t start a war with Iran, the people he is deporting are here illegally and violent criminals who have had due process, the Russia hoax was just that ie a hoax, both democrats and republicans constantly cut programs they disagree with once in power, that’s not a Trump thing, he pardoned J6 rioters that have not had due process after 4 years (you know the thing you complained about illegal immigrant violent criminals not getting), you’re a moron if you didn’t think USAID was a CIA slush fund, since you are so concerned about foreign wars, and you are an even bigger moron if you think Trump is the only politician that lies, they all do it frequently.

    Stop reading and giving into propaganda…

  • SDE is software development engineer. CS is usually considered a field of mathematics that can take many routes. SDE as a learning path generally focuses on programming languages and frameworks to build useful applications, if CS is theory focused then SDE is the application focus. IT generally focuses on already built frameworks and tools for managing corporate networks and data security.

  • Also, it’s preventative, too. Why resort to a life of crime when you can do something that you are interested in and can get paid for it! I wish we ditched the “need to go to college” for expanded trade programs. I would have loved to go to a Junior College or CC or even a trade school if they offered CS courses. The problem with most local colleges is they think IT/SDE/ and CS are all the same, but they are getting better about distinguishing them

  • What are the core tenets of Islam that people should know?

    Jump

  • Islamist Tenets:

    Women are second class citizens

    Non-Believers are second class citizens

    Jews are the worst people on Earth

    Gays should be stoned to death

    Adulterers should be stoned to death

    People who dance should be stoned to death

    A bunch of other terrible shit….

    But the simplest way to understand it is that Islam celebrates death, while Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hindu celebrates death life
