Simple Truth
  • Yeah cause the whole middle east isn’t singing “from the mountains to the sea” and talking about shoving Jews into the Mediterranean Sea.

    Does it hurt being dumb?

  • Would America be as divided if Trump lost to Hillary in 2016?
  • Bernie would have won. But it was her turn.

  • Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a vocal Israel critic and 'squad' member, loses primary
  • Well when people have been strapping bombs to themselves, blowing up busses, raping your citizens, assassinating your leaders, etc.

    But you only want to hear the “woe is Palestine” side of the story.

  • Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a vocal Israel critic and 'squad' member, loses primary
  • Hey look, a guy that doesn't recognize self-defense by a country that's been getting attacked for 70+ years.

  • 07-02-2024 Cubs (39-46) GDT - Phillies at Cubs - 07:05 PM Central
  • The basement-dwelling Cubbies vs the first-place Phillies. Yeah I'm good.

  • Discussion thread for sources of Iowa news sources
  • Down here in the SE corner, our closest TV stations are KYOU out of Ottumwa and KTVO out of Kirksville. KTVO is Sinclair-owned and has the production quality of a junior high AV club. KYOU is marginally better. But it's all we got, so meh.

    Paper-wise, the Ottumwa Courier is decent. Not a lot of content though. They have a hard time getting reporters to stick around.

    I used to read the DSM Register, but it seems like it's more of a Des Moines local anymore. Not a lot from around the state. (Which, it's a paper in Des Moines, that would make sense.)

    I pretty much just read the local weekly and browse around otherwise. Not much I want to keep up on. I want to be completely oblivious and in the sticks.

  • Not Likeable
  • Ok, well, put out more likable candidates that get votes then. Stop expecting people to vote for a candidate just because they "aren't the other guy." You want people to vote for your candidate? Stop cherry-picking the next anointed one and saying "here they are, vote for them!"

    Goddamn. And Democrats wonder why people think they (we, since I'm registered as one) are so out-of-touch and condescending.

  • A supportive husband
  • Switch and PS3 here. It's just as difficult. Especially since the buttons for "proceed" and "return" in menu functions are reversed.

  • Joe Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low
  • It’s obvious you don’t know what fascism is. Get out of your bubble, pal.

  • Joe Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low
  • Sure thing buddy. Actions have consequences, and the "Palestinians" are reaping what they have sewn for 50+ years.

  • Joe Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low
  • So it’s ok when terrorists kill civilians, but not when the country getting blown up by suicide bombers defends itself. 👍🏻

  • Joe Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low
  • Attacking a country and then going “aaahhh they’re fighting back!” is genocide. Got it.

  • c/iowa seems to be unmoderated (edit: not anymore mhuhuHAUHAUHEHEHAHA)
  • I fell into one of those cabinets that freezes people. Didn’t even know I had one until I mistook it for a deep freeze and tried to find some sweet corn.

  • Trump Voters Trust Ex-President More Than Their Family and Friends: Poll
  • So when's he going to gather them all at Mar-a-logo of New Guinea and have them drink Flavoraid?

  • The man charged in connection to driving his truck into Cedar Rapids protestors was found not guilty on both charges.
  • He was trying to drive through an intersection. They wouldn't move out of the street. Then they slapped his truck. It isn't like he was driving through a baseball field.

  • The man charged in connection to driving his truck into Cedar Rapids protestors was found not guilty on both charges.
  • I watched the video - he stopped, they came up to his truck and started slapping it. So he nudged them out of the way and drove off. It's not like he plowed into it at 60 MPH trying to kill someone.

    Looking for pack style reccomendations

    Looking for a new backpack. I don't like having 40 pockets to stash stuff in. I would prefer a frame but not having one isn't a deal breaker. Have lower back issues so it needs to sit appropriately.

    MOLLE, ALICE, ILBE, or FILBE? Something else?

    "Make me a rustic picture frame" aka "Oh goodie, I don't have to sand or finish it!"

    Acquaintance wanted a "rustic-looking picture frame" made out of "barn wood" for a jigsaw puzzle. I asked how fancy they wanted it. They said "Not at all." Okay then - here ya go.
