It was somewhat braggadocius, but I'm also not going to out myself and say who I work with and what I actually do. When you work in certain fields, you have to talk in vagueries. Additionally, if you realize how many briefs these muckety mucks sit through on some days, it sounds much less impressive. I wasn't going to bring it up, but I couldn't help myself when Jimmy said, "Keep preaching it to the feeble minded...The dummies that you aspire to influence believe that shit too..." -

Lol. A civilian I impressed back in my days as a greensuiter personally hired me to run a department under him earlier this year. As part of the job, I get to travel often, I meet a lot of muckety mucks, and I have a small team of E6s and E7s under me. He deals with some of the Undersecretaries, and I occasionally travel with him and brief on certain topics. I could have said I briefed an Undersecretary, but I thought you would like to hear a BG more (and because that was more recent). You don't have to believe it. That's why it is funny to come back here occasionally though. It's theatre at this point. If you are a 3/3 US born linguist in an Enduring Language and have a clearance, there are a lot of doors that open for you. Most linguists with a 3/3 and a clearance walk into a six-figure job the moment they leave the military. That's why even 2/2 linguists are getting $80,000 bonuses to stay. If you knew a 3/3 linguist that was born in the US, you would know that what I'm telling you is not out of the ordinary for job opportunities after the military. -

I'm sure the Brigadier General I briefed earlier this month would be happy to know what you think of him. -

Just the facts Jimbo. It's been this way since the 1980s. Israeli propaganda has been fun in how it quickly pivots when proven wrong. Remember Shireen Abu Akleh? Or how Israel went from claiming that Palestinians blew up their own hosptial to saying that terrorists were there and then to claiming that there were terrorists in all the hospitals they have subsequently hit? Israel went from claiming that it would never hit a hospital to hitting close to 20 hospitals and claiming they were all hit because they were military targets. -

One man's "terrorist" is another man's freedom fighter. Plenty of examples of Israeli "terrorists" too. -

They also came to the table and were willing to stick to the Oslo Accords until an Israeli right-wing nutjob assassinated Yitzhak Rabin. -

I believed that after the convoluted messes that were Syria, Libya, and Iraq, many people would realize that America knows nothing about the Middle East. Look at the list of belligerents in Syria. I wonder if even 1% of people could name more than 5% of the groups involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belligerents_in_the_Syrian_civil_war Maybe we will learn our lesson one day. -

I believe I answered that earlier in the thread. However, in the simplest terms possible, I am anti-Hamas and pro-Fatah. -

You might get your wish. By this time next year, my job will have sent me to all five of the major continents. -

Never said that. Very few conflicts can even be broken down into the easy dichotomy of "good" vs. "evil" anymore. That's where the whole idea of realpolitik came from. -

Israel is an apartheid state with PMGs similar to the Tonton Macoute. They are in no way the "good" side in this conflict -

There is very little Arabic propaganda in the US compared to Israeli propaganda -

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/27/biden-ignored-staff-warning-on-hamas-beheading-babies-claim-report Incredible how many people immediately swallow up Israeli propaganda. -
On the campaign trail this year, Milei proposed legalizing the sale of human children via a "free market for babies." He also pledged to lower Argentina's age of consent, laid out plans to mandate forced labor in Argentine prisons, and repeatedly attempted to rehabilitate his country's former pro-Nazi dictatorship.

There have been serious in-roads made with young Latinos in Florida. Dems are a joke in the Sunshine State. Don't go into inner cities and don't have the full-time paid staff that Republicans do in parts of the state.
-
Conversely, the Republicans did an excellent job campaigning in Florida. It was Dems that refused to go to a lot of the inner cities, and they had a message that really appealed to certain Hispanic groups in South Florida.
-
Moderates are mostly Democratic, but there are a significant number of moderates that the GOP can win by creating a successful strategy around issues that matter to that group (economy, immigration, trans issues).
-
Fair, but two things: 1) I have worked on campaigns of both Dems and Reps 2) Reps need to win over more moderates. From Pew, seven-in-ten Republican voters were 50 and older in the most recent election, compared with 62% of Republican voters in 2020 and 68% in 2018. The party is quickly becoming an AARP convention.
