Such a great show.

It's the funniest show I've followed in several years. I have a lot of side interest and an additional major in psych. The jokes and situations the writers intertwine with the "therapy" is really well done.

If I had gone that route, I would have to think that a healthy dose of sarcasm, cynicism, and outright hilarity would be required to keep me going.

The only times I can recall becoming emotional about anything political in the past couple of years were the Charlie Kirk assassination and the disgraceful Easter morning Trump tweet. It's not healthy to let this stuff affect you on a personal level the way some posters seem to allow.

There are a few that constantly copy and paste links on here that seem completely consumed with proving their opinion to strangers. It is indeed odd

With all due respect, that is crazy. The leadership of Iran is of the belief that killing Americans and other "infidels/Crusaders" is a "holy" pursuit. It's a tenet of Islamic extremism.

Wasn't that 'fight the crusaders thing' bin Laden's? Iran's squared off against KSA and KSA's allies in their regional version of the Great Game. I don't see religion having much at all to do with what the Mullahs do other than as rhetoric.

“If one permits an infidel to continue in his role as a corrupter of the earth, the infidel's moral suffering will be all the worse. If one kills the infidel, and this stops him from perpetrating his misdeeds, his death will be a blessing to him.” - Ruhollah Khomeini

"To kill the infidels is one of the noblest missions God has reserved for mankind.”
- Ruhollah Khomeini

“When you chant ‘Death to America!’ It is not just a slogan. It is a policy." - Ali Khamenei

“The Iranian nation has the courage to say, ‘Death to America.’” And “Yes, it will happen. Death to America will happen.”
- Ali Khamenei

I’m sure their murder of Christian converts has nothing to do with religion

Takes a special kind of mental to defend and rationalize this stuff, or ignore or deny it was said and ask for proof then ignore proof as well.

Iran as a nation as a fear doesn't even crack my top 10 of international concerns.

Us Iraqing/ISIS'ing Iran is much higher on my list of fears.

Who was talking about what you fear? I was saying that the left and the haters are and have been wrong on every issue. They take the absurd position all because your hate for the president Trumps (pun intended) everything else.
Look how the people who's main operandi is hate Trump. Ten years ago, Iran was a major threat. Trump says Iran is a major threat. The haters, Iran is no threat. We go after Iran and the haters scream ceasefire now. Trump calls a ceasefire, the haters, Trump chickened out and he loves Mexican cuisine. Biden wants high oil prices makes gas $5 a gallon to push electric vehicles, the left, high gas prices are good. Gas prices go to $4 dollars a gallon during the Iran war, the left, high gas prices are an existential threat.
That is evert issue, Trump is for it, your lefty and hater friends are against it. These people have no shame.

You my friend have nailed it squarely on the head. It is like arguing with a teenager, actually we probably are.

America’s disastrous foreign policy and global imperialism dating back to coup of mossadegh and propping up the Shah to be a western puppet may have something to do with their ideological hatred of America as well.

Actually the western tradition is built around the idea of a flawed hero who perseveres and overcomes evil in spite of and because of facing their imperfections.
Beginning with the Epic of Gilgamesh, through the Greek Tragedies, the Bible (David anyone), Shakespeare, even down to the modern day when Frodo was unable to destroy the ring; we do not have heroes who can do no wrong (except in hyper liberal Hollywood).
The western cannon is that of a fallen world filled with flawed and broken heroes who still have to face and overcome real and absolute evil.
Same as it ever was.

Dude gets it. It is actually the left and the haters who are 12. Their every thought and opinion is based on their hatred of Trump and that he can't possibly do anything right.
