@Milajoy I was literally just on that same street. It was clean, safe, and vibrant. Has there been retail turnover? Yes. But the real estate is still highly valuable and sought after. Using the canard of “Democrat run cities cause this” is lazy and misleading. Do better.
@jjverdi Both parties are fucked. If the GOP only knew how many of us would switch to the GOP if they disavowed Trump. For many of us, what Trump has done to this country is unforgivable.
@BoLoudon He guys away his $400k salary as a PR stunt, while his family rakes in billions through corruption business dealings that leverage his position as president. Don’t fool yourself.
In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.
