Is Tulsi ever right about anything?
i remember her trying to pander to the Bernie crowd after he “lost” the primaries in 2016. it was the first time I heard of her and some articles were treating it as if she was going to take Bernie’s torch.
She was right when she was talking about Bernie’s healthcare and socialism liteish, but it was more of a broken clock
so, she’s a complete grifter, trying to get ahead without any principles.

Absolutely everything in Trumpworld takes “two weeks”
Extortion or payoffs.
We killed all their scientists who could make them and blew up all their labs…
plus about 400 people.
maybe the west should stop giving Iran more reasons to get nukes.
Just like with Putin’s stooges, the grovelling and the self humiliation is the point.
Pretty sure they have been saying that for years.
WMDs!! Trust me bro.
just one more intervention Bro, I swear, just one more regime change ans we will have peace in the middle east.
She is a shell of a human being whose only driving force is ambition and a complete lack of shame.
When I look at her eyes in a photo or video, I see the kind of evil where as she squeezed the life out of a kitten she would not laugh, cry, or grit her teeth. She would just stare, then tilt her head like a curious alien or Labrador without blinking.
Please note that I am a fan of both dogs and space, so I am sending zero insults their direction in that comparison. It’s like if I were to compare the number of times Trump shit his pants throughout his first term with the number of times my baby boy – born right after the inauguration – shit his pants over the same interval.
my theory is they they aren’t “people”.
they are mouthpieces of an institution. replaceable, and chosen for their bootlicking. if it wasn’t her, they would have chosen another puppet. same thing with CEOs, corporate goons, and most politicians.
if they were honest and had actual beliefs they’ll have extraordinary resistance, if they even get a chance to speak.
It’s remarkable how fast she changed her story to the one Trump wanted to hear.
question who is the smartest invertebrate?
octopi, or conservatives?
Octopi can solve puzzles, but conservatives can imitation human words, both spineless.
I wonder if the American population will buy the same lies sold to them 20 years ago.
I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.
5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan
One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.
I am surrounded by morons.
I was talking to a guy and he said “who was that politician that used to wear a bunch of makeup?”.
“I’m not sure” I said
“The one with the eyeliner”
“Oh you mean J.d Vance? The vice president?”
“He’s the vice president?”
Physically had to stop myself from facepalming.
Right after he started talking about Greta Thunberg. He said “people that don’t know anything about politics shouldn’t get involved”.
I wish I could make this stuff up.
We elected Biden on mostly anti-Trump sentiment then forgot and elected Trump again 4 years later. I think 20 years is more than enough time.
Whatever shadow of a hope I had that the people of this country would not gobble up low-effort lies about Iran just had this comment appear from the shadows and shiv it in the fucking liver.
I’ll bet fewer people will fall for Trump’s lies than fell for GWB’s, but not because we learned from Iraq. This war is really unpopular with MAGA. It’s for the wrong reasons, but I don’t think most will flip to Trump on this one.
Democrats might be interesting to watch. They are mostly cucked to Israel, but they won’t want to pass on the opportunity to snipe at Trump.
I don’t think the majority of Americans bought the DMW bullshit back then either, but the war happened anyways because those in power wanted/let it happen. The people didn’t have a say in it.
I don’t know about a majority, but I lived through that as a young adult and I’d believe it if at least 51% of the US population bought the Iraq WMD crap. Colin Powell was a well respected military leader and political moderate and he cashed in all of his influence to sell the lies to Congress and the population.
How I Edged Myself For 20 Years: A U.S. Lawmakers Heroic Effort To Convince Themselves Everyday That Iran Is Two Weeks Away From A Nuke
“This memoir is beautiful, it shows a secular side to fanatical devotion you don’t often see.”
Coincidentally that’s the same timeline trump has for any major policy implementation
No that is two weeks
Edit wait, I am not sure who is trolling who anymore, you trolling me, me trolling you, you trolling Trump, Trump trolling me, us trolling Trump?
hahaha I genuinely lost the plot on that being the punchline thank you for punching it for me
2 weeks fits the Fortnight Fuhrer’s agenda most perfectly
Sounds like Congress needs to ask her why she lied to them in the first place. Alas, they will not, because she is already playing the “Fake News” card.
I think a lot of people are going to be surprised…
Personally, I don’t know why, because it’s obvious Russia needs Iran for Ukraine.
But Putin isn’t going to let trump attack Iran.
And it’s already causing the people Putin makes support trump, start going against him.
I don’t want to link an actual tucker Carlson video, so here’s some people talking about his interview with Rafael Cruz:
https://youtu.be/yQEd-ECAwDU?t=1140
It tucker is breaking from trump over this, a lot more rightwing media is going to as well
Russia needs Iran for Ukraine
Oh, well, if this somehow hurts a few Russian Oligarchs then I guess incinerating 90M Persians is perfectly fine.
The fuck?
Does no one understand satire here?
Why she lied? because she opened her mouth
Her evidence was a photo of an alleged nuclear facility with an arrow and “nukular missiles” written on with black sharpie. She also noted the MS-13 lettering stamped on top of one of the buildings.
It was a real photo, Iran likes to write “Nukular missiles” in giant black letters next to their hospitals.
I did not know that. Thanks for educating me. I withdraw my objection to the evidence, although their connection to MS-13 was already damning for Iran.
Fusion energy is always 10 years away
Iran is always 2 weeks away from nukes
30 years from now the first humans might live on Mars. If not, read this again.
Fusion energy is always 10 years away
I mean, we’re closer to commercial fusion than Iran is to nuclear weapons, because Virginia is actually building a fusion power plant while Iran has never had a program to enrich uranium to weapon’s grade.
Depends what you mean by fusion energy, but fairly recently ignition has been achieved and breakeven surpassed.
In December 2022, the National Ignition Facility, or NIF, an inertial confinement facility, reached Q = 1.54 with a 3.15 MJ output from a 2.05 MJ laser heating. NIF achieved ignition seven times. The highest gain as of 2025 of Q = 4.13 yielded 8.6 MJ from 2.08 MJ of laser energy.
While that quote alone, and the NIF’s results are very impressive and promising…
The beginning of that wiki page says you actually have to hit more like a Q of 5 before you get something that can power its own heat managment and other operating systems as well, to stand a chance at being sustainable.
The other big, missing piece of context is:
The NIF facility’s impressive results come from shooting about 200 lasers at a tiny capsule, which heats it so fast it becomes a plasma and undergoes fusion, and then the energy released is captured.
But… this is not like a toroidal reactor, that, if it got high enough Q, could just keep running and producing energy in net.
This is more like firing an artillery canon that needs to be carefully and manually reloaded.
It is not a continuous, on going process… the position of the capsule must be perfectly aligned to where all the lasers convergently aim at, and its a burst, with a reload time.
That and the capsule (technically a ‘hohlraum’) itself is… making one is a massively intensive and complex process.
The actual fusion fuel part of the pellet has to be encased in a diamond, and then gold, and it has to be like nano scale perfect.
yhea, but a practical implementation is always some years away.
You’re leaning into this, so here’s a chart.
yhea, that’s what I’m talking about.
But your statement implies it’s some impossible feat, and not simply a lack of funding, and maybe it is impossible, but how would we know if we never properly fund it? Moreover, you associated it with a propaganda reference, and I’m not even sure what you’re getting at there.
just saying it was an example of one of those things that are always a free years in the future. like flying cars, which as a society, gave up on
woah
