@SkylarSkye3 I remember around 1975 or so we were taking my grandmother with us on a driving vacation. She couldn't find the key to her house to lock up because she never locked it.
Some of our doors remain unlocked, though we will lock them at night when we go to bed.
@cspan The only think more appalling than is idiocy is the stunningly large collection of idiots who believe him.
American Exceptionalism is rooted in the original American experiment of liberty and limited government. That's how we got richer, stronger and more powerful than everyone.
@OANN He doesn't mean a social contract. A contract requires that both sides voluntarily and knowingly enter into an agreement.
What he means is a mandate forced down our throats.
But saying, "We need a new mandate forced down the throats of our citizens," just doesn't sound nice.
@SteveGuest They definitely need A/C and I can't understand their reluctance; it makes no sense.
On the other hand, I did spend many a sleepless night in South Carolina as a child with the windows wide open and a 5 foot fan blowing humid air to no great effect and I'm almost normal.
@SenSanders I suggest you not buy an Apple product if you don't like their pricing. I thought you were pro-choice - you can choose to buy or not buy.
Since I'm an Apple investor, I'm happy to see the profits and buybacks. Again, it's a choice - choose to invest or not.
@MorosKostas Absolutely true, it's also tremendously less than if I had been permitted to invest that money in a stock fund. I ran my numbers in 2019 - in the S&P fund I would have had $2.3 million, for SSA it would have been $712,000. I won't get the SSA amount back unless I live to 100.
@WolfofX Sounds like Gaza.
Sorry, kind of joking, not about Toronto but about Gaza.
I’ve used that system in Toronto in the winter and really appreciated it.
But, it does sound like Gaza except for its primary purpose.
@AndrewDesiderio 300 billion reconstruction? First things first, we should be taking our cost from the top. This is the difference between bombing them to capitulation and bombing them until they agree to negotiate. Fuck negotiation, accomplish capitulation, call it a day.
@mattvanswol@ProfMJCleveland He’s a defective human being. Either fry him or prison without ever letting him out. I say fry him as an opponent of the death penalty but the reality is that some people just need to be ended for the protection of the community.
@HouseDemocrats President Trump tried to get legislation passed that would have given them legal permanence. Who was it, again, that blocked that legislation? Oh, yeah, it was you, the Democrats.
@DrEliDavid Then the White House should release the MOU so we can read it ourselves. If even 1/10th of what Iran published is true then we, the admin's supporters, have been betrayed.
It's insane to bomb an enemy to the negotiating table. They should be bombed into submission or not at all.
@EdMarkey How can one party have such a large collection of idiots? $50 billion would fund every community health center for the next 26 years? Just under $2 billion a year? You can't find $2 billion in a $7 trillion budget? You're not about helping people you're about punishing success.
@USAmbUN@POTUS Bombing in order to force negotiations is a fool's errand. We know how negotiations will go with Iran; they will go nowhere. If Iran posed an actual danger to the U.S., and I believe they did, then it's unforgivable not to finish the regime. When you bomb it's to get submission.
