Shut up, Graham cracker.

My guess is you missed the fact that they hacked into water systems in Minnesota. https://abcnews.com/US/investigators-ir ... =135237777
They certainly did but because each water system is independent of the others it would be awfully hard to go nationwide with it. You actually should hope Iran does something big in October anyways.
No. I like my Internet. I work online. Iran pulling shit does nothing to help Democrats. Things will be bad enough once oil reserves run dry and the full effects of no fertilizer surface.

Trump will hold the blame and pay the price. The buck ultimately stops with the party in power. That’s not the Democrats. That analysis is far more sound than crazy theories of the week.

Nobody is gonna pull the nuclear trigger. Do you envision yourself getting run over before you step outside and attempt to cross the street?

That’s doomsday stuff… people have been predicting the end of the world since there was a world to end. Last I checked we are all still here. I really wouldn’t worry too hard about nukes flying. No matter who is around M.A.D. Is a rather powerful concept.

These days, who the hell knows anymore. Remember, all it took was a fucking branch to wipe out power to the northeast.

I don't subscribe to things like this, but it never hurts to be prepared in today's day and age. I keep a few extra jugs of water and tp on hand, but I don't have any shelters or anything. When you have a bunch of psychos and madmen running things, you gotta watch your ass.

A simple AI query pointed out that your Iran internet claim is bullshit:
No single undersea cable or offshore switch can disable the global or Western internet infrastructure.

​A complete shutdown is technically impossible for several reasons:

​How Undersea Infrastructure Actually Works

​The "Mesh" Design: There is no single "cyber cord" offshore. The global internet relies on hundreds of independent subsea fiber-optic cables crisscrossing the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

​Automatic Rerouting: If cables in the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf are severed, internet traffic instantly reroutes through alternative paths across the Pacific, trans-Eurasian terrestrial routes, or lines wrapping around the southern tip of Africa.

​Local vs. Global Impact: Severing regional cables—such as lines passing through the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea—can cause latency spikes, financial service delays, and severe regional bandwidth throttles across South Asia (particularly India), parts of the Middle East, and East Africa. However, domestic networks in the United States and Europe do not route their internal traffic through the waters off Iran.

​The Context Behind the Threat
Rumors of an Iranian plot or threat to undersea cables spiked across social media and regional reporting, fueled by rhetoric from IRGC-affiliated media discussing sovereignty, tariffs, or disruptions in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. While physical sabotage or anchor-dragging can severely hit regional connectivity, viral claims that Iran can pull the plug on 95% of the world's internet confuse global statistics with regional access.
Again, spouting off wild doomsday claims without doing a quick, easy fact check is 100% MAGA level stuff.

A primary win where he was outspent 10-1. There is no left MAGA. I am not even a true leftist or Marxist or whatever your PDS(Piker derangement syndrome) spew as your talking points. I support nuclear power. Not many “leftists” support that. We have swung so far right that anyone who scores a -1, -1 on a political compass test is considered some Marxist. No one is buying your propaganda anymore. Diet MAGA Dems will be purged from the party soon.

Read what Trump posted yesterday. Does one of your links include that? He is talking about total annihilation. I am tired of you downplaying everything I say.

I'm not gonna totally jump over and agree with MCRF, but I'm not shocked. We're in a very tense time right now. The main issue isn't just Trump, it's the fact he does what he wants, congress has no backbone, and even if a court tells him no...he fucking does it anyway. So, yeah, I'm a little nervous. The guy is a few fries short of a Happy Meal and nobody goes up against him. Nothing would be shocking anymore.

He’s talked about that multiple times already so it’s not really news at this point. He’s a lot of hot air and not much more. The fact that people are still afraid of him is amazing. I’m not trying to downplay it but it’s pretty unreasonably alarmist to think everyone in the military is gonna sit on their hands and let him nuke somebody. I highly doubt they would follow that order. It’s a lot of Hollywood writing level things that would have to go just so to have him actually annihilate more than a Big Mac or 6.

Trump will eventually go down as the worst president we’ve ever had and this period will prove largely inconsequential. That’s my prediction as long as we are making them.
