I'm okay with this?

If the stuff I regularly hear about the cartels doing (e.g. murdering political figures who oppose them.) was happening in, say, Afghanistan, no one would hesitate to call it terrorism, so the label fits.

That said, worried that it'd be used to justify unwanted military intervention.

As for gunrunners, yeah lock em up, throw away the key.

He's just disgruntled several thousand federal employees. Maybe he's never heard the term Going Postal?

better watch out they might blow up the rubble of Gaza into smaller rubble.

Seek psychiatric help. Sooner rather than later.

The new Yakuza game just hit so I'm looking at playing and possibly streaming it, though I'm just getting over a wicked cold (and still got a cough to show for it) so I might not do the stream.

mans got that "hit randomize on the character creator" look.

The only bad part about the obvious outcome here is that we'll have the 9/11 and JFK conspiracy theorist types jerking themselves raw about how it was absolutely a conspiracy to assassinate him.

Vance might be smarter then Trump but there's not a chance MAGA coalesces around him if Trump dies. Without that, congressional R's won't bend the knee so readily.

Yeah they were domesticated and bred smaller and smaller, dang shame. Their wings used to be the size of a mans arm.

crazy to me that he's thinking the guy who might be funding anti Trump podcasts is a threat and not the richest man in the world who has agents infiltrating and collecting data on every government agency. Like, is dudes tin foil hat on right?

Considering I've been this way since I was a school aged kid, I don't think it's relevant.

Next step down the line is friend group. If the homeys all say he smells like ass he'll likely fall in line: The power of peer pressure. Of course if they also have fallen for whatever dudebro podcast dipshit logic kiddo has fallen for, then your next step is respected adult- Preacher/Teacher/Whatever other Male Role Model. It's important that the respected adult be male since kiddo thinks its a manliness thing.

You could also have the conversation of what kiddo thinks manliness actually entails and who embodies it, because that will likely also tell you a lot of things. If he's idolizing Andrew Tate, for example, then hoo boy, you're in for a time.
