Wow, you swallow the Trump load like it is ice cream.
Or, you have a demonstrated irrational hatred of authority figures like police officers and Trump and are merely projecting what you hope happens.
Irrational? Tell you what, the day I ever come across a good politician or a good cop, I will let you know. Dont hold your breath though, only the most disgusting humans want to be politicians or cops, so there is no such thing as "good" in those fields.
You're full of crap. My dad's best friend was a cop in Memphis. Solid dude all around. Def good.
My niece's husband is a cop in Alabama. Again, salt of the earth. I love that guy.
And in both cases, I was exposed to many more cops. Not a damn one was a "disgusting human."
I think your opinion is way out of line.
You need to get out more, or stop making assumptions based on samples that are way too small.

RE: NYTimes Hedging Bet
There are no longer Democrats in the shape of Kennedy or Carter. Democrats have become Nihilists with the next step being Communists.
You can tell by the comments directed toward authority figures. Since the breakdown of the nuclear family many “Democrats” have been raised without authority figures setting boundaries and teaching them right and wrong. When anyone in authority confronts them about their actions or behavior they immediately snap irrationally.
As I’ve said before, it’s cyclical. It’s worse this time because of social media, foreign interference and the fact most “Democrats” lack any moral compass.

RE: NYTimes Hedging Bet
There are 3 types of cops. Bully/ego, family, "good guy".
Most people think the bully is the worst of the cops, the bully is actually the best. Yeah they get off on being ego driven bullies, but they are mostly stupid.
Family cops, just wants to make it to pension, keep their heads down, dont rock the boat, get to the end and get their benefits. They are worse than the bullies, because they witness all of the illegal activity of their partners and instead of being real men, they sweep it under the rug, support their bully partners, and not rock the boat.
Good guys, they are actually the worst of all cops. They go into the job thinking they are going to help people. It takes a few months before they become completely jaded and then they go from the thought that all humans are decent if given a chance to every human is a disgusting filthy piece of criminal trash. Everyone is a liar and now it is their job to go after all criminals who are all people. The "good guy" ends up being the bad guy.
Now, you can think a cop you know is a good guy because he treats you fine on family holidays, but go to work with them and see them break laws over and over and over and none of their cop buddies stop them.
Ask your "buddy" cops how many cops they have arrested. Only MAGA supports cops anymore and the funny thing is, cops hate MAGA and take any opportunity at all to toss your dumb asses in jail. They will watch liberals burn down buildings and just stand there and praise the "mostly peaceful protests" and then open fire on Ashli Babbit, and the idiot MAGA will still stand out there saying COPS ARE GREAT.... how stupid are you to support cops?

RE: NYTimes Hedging Bet
Hey dude, I actually have been on a number of calls with my dad's best friend cop in Memphis over the years, when I was still in JHS and HS, as well as others as an adult, related to my job, including detectives in another city.
You are way off base. You are painting a broad brush on everybody, when you are actually describing the exceptions, not the rule. So maybe we're not the real dumbasses in this situation, as you stated.

RE: NYTimes Hedging Bet
The very nature of a police job lends itself to being very noticeable when you get a bad seed in it. Some cops are good people, some aren't, just like in all walks of life. The bad ones stand out bigly, but typically not the good ones. I've been very fortunate to have known a lot of very good cops through the years. My very best friend in life, starting at about 14 years old, was a career cop. If I was in a bind and was told I could pick exactly one person on this earth to have my 6, it would be him.

No, I demanded justice for a murder. Babbit was murdered.
Thats the problem with you and your reality. You dont want justice. You are ok with a "cop" shooting someone as long as it was someone you dont like.
I'm not going to be able to change your mind about cops anymore than I can convince you a guy with a peen isnt a woman. You have your mind made up about those.

THEN. WHY. ISN’T. THE. WAR. OVER?
The WAR isn't over because Trump wants to play the long game with these thugs. IMHO Trump thinks or believes that he can rationalize with these Basterds and that for the better of Iran they will come to the table and hammer out a deal. Fool's thinking once again. Iranians in charge don't care how many die as long as they remain in power and continue on as before. The WAR will be over when these thugs are removed from power or Trump decides he longer cares what they do and retreats.
I truly believe much would not have to be done to end it.
1. Decimate all Power Plants
2. Seize Kharg Island
3. Occupy Qeshm Island
4. Game Over
No need to do anything else because all of their commerce dies at this point and how long can you survive with no in flow
Trump needs to take decisive action if he wants this to end
Stop negotiating with known LIARS
