Ahhh interesting thank you MSN!

All our brains have been washed, MAGA brains are just much cleaner than mine.

Are the Israeli influenced MAGA brains cleaner than the anti Iran war MAGA brains? I'm talking Tucker Carlson/Candice Owens - labeled by Israel as 'the anti-truth, anti-american faction'.

I have always enjoyed Tucker Carlson as an entertainer. I have equally enjoyed SNL parodies of him as entertaining.

I disagree with most of cammd/Tucker Carlson's views and rhetoric, but if either of them makes a valid point, I'm willing to acknowledge that point on its own merits.

Ok philn Looking back over this thread I have said

I dont like Nazi's

I think western culture has delivered good human rights and standard of living

I think of freedom speech is important therefore offensive views or ideas should be defeated by debate not suppressed by law.

And finally I said the Iran government is a fanatical religious regime that shouldn't have nuclear weapons.

You have said I am brainwashed and blind, well I think what I have said is reasonable. What rhetoric and views do you disagree with.

Further thoughts/quotes about how we, homo sapiens, got here.



Hypocrites are those who apply to others standard that they refuse to accept for themselves.



Intellect is invisible to the man who has none of it.



How can great minds be produced in a country where the test of a great mind is agreeing with the opinions of small minds.



Everywhere man blames others, nature or fate. Yet his position in life is but the echo of his own character and passions, his mistakes and weakness.

Good quote, surprised you posted it. Normally victimhood is seen as a virtue by the left. The above quote is the opposite of that.

It means a good idea or policy or quote or argument etc is good regardless of its source.

Pffft. Which side of MAGA are you on now as there is a clear split as a result of this illegal American attack on Iran?

The Pisraeli faction or the Tucker Carlson/Candice Owens side?

Tucker Carlson thinks Trump is the anti christ and Candace Owens claims the first lady of France is a man.

No longer a Tucker Carlson fan I take it?

So you get there is a split in MAGA?

What's your algorithm feed telling you?

Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Tomi Lahren, Adin Ross, Tim Dillon, Marjorie Taylor Greene,The Hodgetwins have all been outspoken and very critical of Trump in recent times.

What side of the fence are you sitting? Are you MAGA or are you more MIGA aligned like Trump?

Maybe you are MEGA today - Make Epstein Great Again.

As D3 says.... It would be good to know.LOL

You seem kind of obsesssed with American politics.

Maybe get a boat or a bike or something and get outside and reduce

I'm concerned that Trump's actions may plunge our ecconomy into recession or even worse get us involved in a war we didn't start.

If Australia slides into recession will you publicly apologise to hilly for repeatedly telling him he suffers from TDS?

I do understand why you are now distancing yourself from Trump, who is one of the most unpopular presidents in history.

Hilly only has a mild case, IanR has the advanced stage 5 case.

I'm not sure how Albanese's mishandling of the economy relates to their TDS problems but if you want I could express some sorrow for them.

Fair enough about IanR, but what about hilly?

Trumps blockade of the Straight of Hormuz could further undermine global economic confidence and undermine hillys superannuation.

Do the right thing and apologise. He probably drives a 4wd dual cab ute diesel and that will cost him heaps more to drive up to Gnarloo to foil.

Sorry Hilly, my bad, in future I will be more sensitive to childhood fears that have manifested into politicians.

I think maybe I have been undervaluing your great negotiator and mediator skills.

cammd has apologised, hilly is content and everybody is happy. And all because you are such a master-debator.

I haven't seen such skills on the entire seabreeze.com.au network since remery diagnosed the multiple faults with your dodgy Temu carburetor.

Have you thought about offering up your services in the middle east ?

The messiah image Trump posted has a lot of people agreeing with Tucker Carlson that he may be the antichrist

I think he is just a very naughty boy

I'm onto it. I've been trying to hook up with Netanyahu, but I can't get in touch with him. It's kind of odd as he was everywhere during the 12 day war. It's weird that Trump doesn't even say his name - why is that?
