House of Cards has a season where Kevin Spacey starts a fucking war to cement his position. It's literally playing out in the white house right now and I can't fathom why more conservatives aren't pissed about this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You don't hear more conservatives complaining about this because half of them are blacked out from how hard bombing foreigners makes them, and the other half are too busy jerking it in their truck to the thought of liberals getting """owned""" at the gas pump. We live in a reality that is a parody of itself.
"We're fighting wars,"
The ones you started? You're a disgrace to the integrity of the Fifa Peace prize.
I thought they were special military operations
That prize used to mean something and now it's irreversibly tarnished.
That's what you get when you buy your gold from Ea-Nasir Consolidated Metals Inc.
I mean, imagine an ~~Iranian~~ American regime who, instead of spending billions of dollars supporting ~~terrorist groups~~ Israel and building up all of these weapons, had invested that money into ~~Iran~~ America, for the people of ~~Iran~~ America, so they wouldn’t have ~~water~~ healthcare shortages, so their economies would provide opportunities for an incredible people.

How about we cut off Trump's access to healthcare? See how long he lasts.
I'm pretty sure he already stays alive only by killing a Unicorn and drinking its blood every so often.
He really doesn't want a base of voters, does he?
pretty sure the GOP is banking on "voting" no longer being an actual thing in the near future
in other words, no, they don't give a fuck whether they have a "voter base" or not
May be the endgame. While the Southern Strategy was all about securing enough voters in a functional system through various means, the next step is just removing the voting issue altogether and gain even more power.
after they cheat their way to retaining majorities in both house and senate in these upcoming midterms, it's all over. anyone who thinks there's any chance of coming back after that is still delusional. "make sure you go out and vote!!" lol, ok...what do i do when they throw away all the ballots that aren't straight R all the way down?
personally, i think it was already all over when everyone allowed the GOP to steal the scotus nomination from obama. and THEN the GOP threw their own "rule" that they made up on the spot out the window to allow trump to nominate his third scotus justice.
everyone who is or was in a position to prevent the millions of steps require to get to this point-- they're all complicit
At this point, it is likely he doesn’t need them anymore, and around a third will support him at any cost anyway.
Apparently not.
The fucking video player not once played what the title suggests. But he did ask them to buy oil from us. I know he lied when said we have plenty. How much do we have?
At what point will this piece of shit be [ Removed by Reddit ] ? It's really only a matter of time with as many people as he's pissing off. The unhinged republican voters are the most dangerous, and he's getting awfully close to pissing them off.
You're not on reddit here, you can say it.
Guess it's time to shut down the military if you can't afford it and keep using it for class warfare against the working class majority of humanity
