CIA reports what Isreal wants them to report. So Netanyahu wants you to think the country is close to collapse. So that he can justify emergency powers to keep himself in power indefinitely.

Yeah, the CIA isn't just going to give out info for the sake of giving out info. I dont know what the thought is, but there's something behind it.

You mean they don't just call up Fox News and give out the latest?

Seems like many prominent politicians are aging, nearing the end of their lives and just want to go out with a bang.

I wanna go out with a bang. Not explosives, just with a pretty lady. (Like my wife)

Blink twice if she's in the room with you

I think they meant your eyes, but that works too.

But I did blink with my eyes! (it's just hard to see over the internet in text)

[-] phar@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

Chill with the blinking already, you're keeping us all awake

How like your wife does she need to be?

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

Real answer? I can't imagine a scenario where this would happen, wife or anyone else. I won't bore you with my health problems, but very few people facing terminal health issues probably end up having much good sex. lol.

Half-real answer? I mean, technically I'm poly, although not really "practicing". So technically, probably doesn't have to be very much like my wife.

Although given a choice between her or a stranger....... probably go with her. lol.

Half-way serious answers to silly questions amuse me, thus my extraneous reply :)

I would also like to go out with your wife, can be at the same time, no judgement

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Well, as long as we can coordinate on the dying bit, too, of course. ;-)

Well, that's a different kind of banging altogether!

"Who sought notoriety by destroying..."

That son-of-a-bitch! It worked!
