It’s pretty apparent you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and I’m not going to waste any more time.

Try reading stuff from sources other that what you are, it’s not serving you well.

We don’t disagree. You are factually wrong. I’m not saying that it isn’t an authoritarian state. It absolutely is.but the simple fact of the matter is that the Ayatollah isn’t involved most decisions. His power mostly came into play with selecting who could run in their elections, which absolutely are real with the opposing sides running having significant political differences.

Did he get to set the goal posts for their parties? Yes, absolutely, and that isn’t a full on true democracy. But the Iranian civilians have far far more say in their government than a civilian Russian, for example.

Moreover, you’re debating all of this shit in ignorance to move the topic away from the fact the Iran didn’t have nukes SOLELY because the leader was religiously opposed to them. The religious leader the US and Israeli’s killed. While proving that they are unreliable negotiators.

The only rational view at this point for the average Iranian is to demand nukes.

No, you’re not.

You’re arguing by title to ignore the points made like a sophist. That is explicitly rude, while trying to pretend it isn’t.

Bad faith responses deserve nothing other than the reflection of the rudeness they project.

Stop ignoring everything else I wrote you fucking propaganda poisoned jackass.

Isn’t the president the executive branch?

Jesus Christ, do you have any critical thinking skills?

Seeing rumors that he is. The hypersonic missile wave was targetting a bunker he was believed to be in.

Still just rumors though.

EDIT: sadly, he is alive.

Because Iran wasn’t a dictatorship.

It had factions.

You know how Iran was always months away from nukes? It was. That was the hard liner faction who believed that only nukes would ensure Iran’s safety wanting to be able to quickly have one if the fatwa was removed.

Did you not know this? If not, you should stop watching/reading the new sources that didn’t tell you this widely available information. They’re not new sources but propaganda sources.

There is no brain worm. That was made up by RFK Jr in court with no medical evidence provided to justify giving no alimony to his ex wife. He them blackballed her in their small community so she had to beg. She eventually committed suicide.

He then stole her body from here family to bury it on the Kennedy plot.

And it isn’t Russia that has them.

One of my tests as I’ve grown older is whether or not that person is capable of treating someone else’s children as their own.

Both my father and step father did, so I didn’t realize how rare of an attribute this is, nor did I realize how evil not having this attribute can make some seemingly good people behave.

People that want a civil discussion on the merits of a philosophy whose base principle is at best ethnic cleansing don’t deserve one.

You’re like a white northerner demanding a civil discussion on the merits of slavery to a black person in the underground railroad.

Your position is just as disgusting and ludicrous.

Spoken like someone that condemned the ANC as terrorists in the 80’s.

“Sure, apartheid is wrong, but the people suffering it and fighting it are the worst” <— you.

In this thread: people mistaking NRE for “true love”

Love is as much a time based thing as it is work/romance/sex/chemical.

It involves seeing the other person at their weakest and being there to help them, and vice versa. It involves seeing them mistreat you, but you know why because you know them and their triggers and forgiving them. (That last bit can be confused with forgiving abusers, which is not the same. If someone physically hurts you, it isn’t love, and contrition is a required step.)

It involves giving them freedom to make mistakes and hurting themselves and being there to help them up.

It is so much more that delineating it down to ’ I must love them cause I’m not sexually attracted to anyone else right now’ is a cheap and sad way of describing love.

The database schema that sets each room as the atomic unit. That ends up creating a very convoluted database structure prone to corruption.

First step is not putting your hope that the people who got you into this mess who have every reason to not try and get you out this mess, can and will fix it.

Part of the purpose of consequences is to stop the damage.

Obama’s whole “Lets not look backward” schtick is what allowed every single person responsible for the Iraq war and 2008 financial crisis, and the 2010 foreclosure-fraud crisis to maintain their positions of power.

Wikileaks absolutely proved Donna Brazile funneled debate questions to Clinton.

Trump didn’t tell me anything, in that I understand how DKIM works. Evidently you don’t, so you want to try and pretend that the emails were faked or modified. That’s not how encryption works, though.

Love how you ignored the explicit mentions of proven cheating.

Too bad about the insane schema.

A private organization until it is time for federal funding.

Fuck off, pathetic defender of oligarchy.

Edit: If the corruption of the DNC was purely an invention of Trump, DWS wouldn’t have lost her position and DB wouldn’t have lost her job.

The DNC literally admitted to braking it own rules and cheating for Hillary in court.

Your bullshit here that Bernie couldn’t win the primary so he wouldn’t win the general is post-hoc rationalization of the DNC being an undemocratic institution and justifying their theft of the party.

Without addressing that theft, no primary in the world will fix this.
