2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

[MrWhyt]

I remember people siding with the biden administration, swearing up and down, based on media reports that the Mar-a-Lago raid was 100% legal and warranted. That Trump had met his Waterloo.

it was 100% legal and warranted, trump had stolen documents. If trump didn't have documents, how did he have documents to turn over when they were subpoenaed? If you read the indictment, you would see that the basis for one of the obstruction of justice charges was testimony from trumps own lawyer.

It was so warranted it literally had a warrant.

Let's not go back to old news on this topic.
If you need to reply to the above few posts there is a topic somewhere here for that.

Back to Venezuela/US conflict please.

So is Venezuela going to collapse like Syria, Yugoslavia, Libya or Somalia?

In lieu of critical thinking skills, we just source Grok now?

Soon it will just be AI arguing with AI.

I'll be right back, going to consult Gemini...

AI arguing with AI, eh?

That actually might save everyone some time, and yield the same results as we're currently having!

Let's fire this thing up, Fishbone Jones replies with his usual MAGA talking points, we set up our centre and left-wing bots, the argument continues as it has since 2016 without significant traction in either direction, and we all go back to talking about Afghanistan gear load outs.

We might be onto something positive here...

I guess as someone who drops in just occasionally, I've consistently got the impression he is very similar to the MAGA types I deal with somewhat regularly, these are the folks essentially so supportive of MAGA they're basically just FOX news and Trump Administration parrots, and endless supporters who, realistically, aren't stopping. This member has so many posts, it would be comical to even attempt to read them all, and my impression is just based on the limited threads I've read here. So if that's not the case, it's a fair point, and perhaps he is more centrist than a lot of his messages lead on.

I was talking to an American client earlier about the tariff situation, this client a huge Trump supporter (Not Fishbone) and he was complaining having to pay the new tax on incoming goods, but he saw on FOX news that Trump might get rid of income tax since he's bringing so much money in, and that will make it worth it. When you encounter someone like that, there is NOTHING you can say to them that will make them realize how ridiculous that is.

Try getting your own houses in order before you decide to deride me. If I had the time, patience and need to strip you of your condecending, humourless, childish diatrabes, I have lots of material on you both. So, toddle off now, get some clean diapers on and enjoy your evening girls.

I have visions of Joy Reid and Whoopi Goldberg speaking when I read stuff from these two, lefty TDS patient zeros.

Brihard,
Thanks for having my back. I still don't like him, but nobody ever tries to give the devil his due. Hes pompous, exaggerates qndma bunch of other stuff most politicians traffic in. I just want to see some balance. But nobody wants to talk the good things republicans have done. Just attack. It sounds like MSNBC or CNN around here sometimes.



AI is a tool. In it's infancy. You might not like it, but it's here and isn’t going away. Using it to accumulate stats, instead of Googling for hours just makes sense to me. The explanation I posted was fair in its narative to both sides. And it contained sources to check it's veracity. Using it shouldn't have to come with apologies. However, I understand it's not everyone's cyber cup of tea.
