@Mormon_Adam @BlackBlessedLDS Is this parody?

@whitesocksAF Why should Fuentes matter?

@amyfaithho When healthcare admins are more numerous than healthcare providers you will never have a low cost system.

@charlescerb Professional sports in America exist to sell beer, junk food, and cars.

Mosaddeq wasn’t an angel. He nationalized the foreign oil infrastructure built by the UK and the US. The resulting economic instability during the Cold War put him bed with the USSR/Tudeh communists. He assumed emergency powers, dissolved parliament after a referendum widely viewed as rigged (separate voting locations for yes/no ballots, intimidation), alienated key allies (including clerics like Ayatollah Kashani), and faced growing domestic opposition from the army, royalists, and others. He had already clashed with the Shah over control of the military.

Iranian actors (army officers such as Fazlollah Zahedi, politicians, some clergy, and civilan crowds) carried out much of the action. The initial coup attempt failed; the Shah fled; and U.S. planners nearly abandoned the effort before events on 19 August succeeded. Historians still debate the relative weight of foreign orchestration versus domestic dynamics—some emphasize that significant Iranian opposition to Mossadegh already existed.

@DefiantLs Seriously. I thought that was a woman.

@DaaChazz You’re aiming at the wrong target. Banks aren’t responsible for people being stupid. Look at the cause.

BREAKING: Egypt has placed 35 Europe-linked Islamist organizations on its terror list.

Muslim countries are now sanctioning European entities for being too extreme.

Let that sink in.

@WallStreetMav Another option is to tax everyone, specifically the 30% that currently pay nothing. That means no deductions of anykind and removing the floor from income taxes.

@Ravious101 College students are screwed. Time to learn welding.

Here come the “accidental” fires. Landlords cash out on insurance. Let the city take the burned out husks and spend billions rebuilding. Taxes skyrocket to pay for it, or they demand that Albany pay. Businesses and business owners leave in droves. Unemployment jumps as a result. Tax revenues crater. Then, predictably, progressive socialists will blame everyone else.

@ironDPC I can a see a lot more physicians moving to cash-only. No insurance accepted of any kind. When the system is too broken to be fixed, walk away from the system.

In 1979, leftist students celebrated Khomeini. He’d promised a “democratic government” where “everyone will be able to express his or her opinion.”

Within a decade, the regime had executed thousands of them.

They thought they were on the right side of history.

Remind you of anything today?

@Rothmus I'm sure Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese, Poles, Swedes, Finns, Greeks, etc. all look forward to helping France to pay for every euro, too! Lucky them!
