@kenmartin73 @TheDemocrats Is this different than Ukraine? I think we spent like 400 billion in Ukraine under Biden.

Trump says his war is more important than daycare. The $200 billion he wants to bomb Iran could cover a full year of daycare for 14 million kids.
This is a statement on priorities, and for Trump, America comes last.
FactPost@factpostnews
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

@JonahDispatch The Qataris must of given him so much cash it was impossible to say no.
Qatari = best public relations campaign in human history. Turned propaganda and century old tropes into political thought in 15 years.

This is just such a bald faced and amazingly stupid lie. “Everyone” is not afraid of being physically hurt by Israel. Tucker is flat out making that up or he’s lost his mind even more than I thought. Just nonsense.
Furkan Gözükara@FurkanGozukara
BOMBSHELL: Tucker Carlson drops a terrifying truth about Washington. He confirms US policymakers at every single level are physically afraid of Israel and the intelligence agencies. The American government is completely held hostage by a foreign power.

@NewReaganCaucus Please. Those were Bondis words or Bondis actions. It was Trump the whole time. She was only doing exactly what she was told. Now, perhaps she did it badly but it all Trump.
English
Prediction:
Bondi's replacement will be worse because the reason Bondi is bad is because Trump wants his AG to be his personal attorney. She was competent before this.
Tulsi's replacement will be better because Trump needs good intelligence for the war and counterterrorism.

@David_J_Bier It is antiquated and abused. The legislature who wrote the amendment never considered it as it is today.
It is not about nativism. It is about basic respect. People who are abusing this system plan to continue abusing it.
English
Why would following the citizenship law that has governed this area for over 400 years be suicidal? We've excelled because of it, not in spite of it. All nativist apocalyptic claims are built on a fundamental anti-Americanism.

The Constitution isn’t a national suicide pact It doesn’t compel us to encourage illegal immigration with universal birthright citizenship

Democrats keep schizophrenically ping-ponging between two different forms of identity politics when what they actually need to do is take a deep breath and just act more normal about promoting people who are good at their jobs.

Paying men more than women for the same job is basically DEI for (white) men. It’s unconstitutional & wrong.
We need to be moving away from failed leftist policies-not adopting them out of some sense of revenge.🤦♀️
Punishing women is not going to equate making more babies, if that were the case, the birth rate wouldn’t be dropping all over the world, including in the most misogynistic countries.
Right wingers have to recognize that given this is a global phenomenon there is a natural element to it.
And attempting to rewrite the American constitution & takeaway the most foundational principles of America; equality, justice & liberty for all is not going to make America better. It’s going to destroy America!

@LondonCat5 @CBSMornings The stories being shared and broadcasted about GLP are almsot exclusively with patients taking way too much.
The doses noted by friends using insurance and primary doc were shockingly high.
English
@NotSure365 @CBSMornings Losing weight has some amazing benefits & if a GLP-1 is the way one wants to go - I have NO issue with that so long as the manufacturer is clearly, directly & openly disclosing the short & long term risks. If you aren't aware of the diabetic retinopathy risks, that's a problem.
English
1 in 8 adults in the U.S. uses a GLP-1 — and those weight loss drugs are already impacting the economy.
Harvard University professor and CBS News contributor Roland Fryer breaks down why economists are predicting the medications could add to America’s GDP and shares some concerns about how diets might be impacted.
English
@VernersViews @Channel4News Yep! The doses and duration providers are giving to patients is WAY too much. Shocked whe I heard what commercial payer/providers were dosing.
English
How many of those who get the jabs are aware that:
"Based on the records of 16 million people, it was found that compared to other weight loss treatments, the fat jabs caused:
• 9.09 times greater risk of pancreatitis
• 4.22 times greater risk of bowel obstruction
• 3.67 times greater risk of gastroparesis (which means you can barely eat because the stomach is constantly full)."
English
More than 1 million more people are to be offered weight loss jabs in England. That’s after they’ve been given the greenlight by the NHS to reduce people’s chance of deadly heart attacks and strokes.
English
@AntiCommieBecca How does an opinion writer write this?
You provided no supporting evidence to your conclusion. Like a simple poll showing 1000s of unfilled jobs because of the collapse (didn’t happen) of H1B programs would have helped.

Remember last year (I think) when all these tech companies were saying they don’t have enough Americans to fill needed positions & so many angry men came out complaining they just needed a shot?
Tech companies were right!
So many young people don’t give two shits about technological advancements, space travel or ANYTHING that doesn’t concern them personally.
It’s just endlessly bitching about all the things they don’t have rather than being grateful for having more than the vast majority of humans who have ever lived!
Why would a tech company hire somebody who doesn’t think technology is cool or important?
This apathy and constant rumination is making Americans more sympathetic to bringing in highly qualified immigrants “replacing” ungrateful, entitled brats!
At some point all the dooming black pill a-holes are gonna regret this path they’ve taken!

@LondonCat5 @CBSMornings I completed diligence with a medical provider and what studies were available.
My A1C, cholesterol, sleep patterns, eating habits, and overall health is also way up. Not likely to die in five years. However, my quality of life is far higher.
Blind? Really?
English
@NotSure365 @CBSMornings Great question. Pull up the insert warnings (w/ no long term trials to track them) & tell me if you had, & gave, "informed consent" to these long-term risks even if you stop taking it. All for getting healthy. Maybe no long term risk. Maybe legally blind in 10 yrs. We don't know.

@CoreyWriting American youth are being brainwashed by short form media propped up by Qatari. Qatari has been doing this for so long. They’ve taken propaganda and made it into political thought.
They’ll be no dividing or breaking up between Israel and the United States.
English
I do think this will eventually cause the breakup between the US and Israel, simply because the young Americans are moving steadily left while Israelis are becoming more conservative.
Israel Elects@israel_elects
Israel’s youngest voters are significantly more right-wing than older cohorts. Ages 18–22: 🔵 Right / center-right: 78% 🟣 Center: 14% 🔴 Left / center-left: 8% Ages 23+: 🔵 Right / center-right: 61% 🟣 Center: 27% 🔴 Left / center-left: 12% via Lazar/Maariv (Mar 30–31)

@art_istek @MatrixMysteries Wait. I tell you you are 100% wrong about inflation and your response is gas prices in Biden?
Gas prices were higher under Biden than Trump right now. An excluding the last five weeks gas prices have been at least a dollar lower than all of Biden‘s administration.
English
@NotSure365 @MatrixMysteries So gas prices are up $1.50 when? Did tariffs help at all? 🤔

An American woman went to Cold Stone Creamery.
This tiny ice cream cost her $9.
Inflation is becoming humiliation.
How much more expensive can life in America get?
English
@LondonCat5 @CBSMornings I’m all yours. What’s the consequences of losing 30 pounds dropping your A1c in cholesterol and getting control of your food consumption.
Do you think the person who lost 30 pounds will continue taking GLP for the rest of their life?
English
@CBSMornings This is crazy. If u have 2 or more comorbidities & have a real chance of dying in next 5 yrs, the long-term risks are probably worth it...but if you have 40 year olds out there taking it because they want to lose 30 lbs, I don't think they understand the long-term consequences
English
@art_istek @MatrixMysteries That’s simply not true and you must know that. Inflation started heavily under Biden.
English
@MatrixMysteries FYI: Things had normal prices until Trump became president. Sometimes, he’s acting against national interest, which goes hand in hand with his closeness to Putin and Kim. We’re paying Ukraine and Israel’s wars, which is good for the Kremlin’s oil interests, but bad for America
English
@MatrixMysteries We stopped all fast, casual, and all things like marble stone. The pricing had just gotten absurd. It wasn’t inflation we were seeing it was gouging.
English
@adamscochran It’s just so silly. There was never an intention in the constitution to allow people to drive or fly across a border pop out a baby and make it a citizen.
English
One of the most insane arguments is the idea that your parents status matters.
“Subject to the jurisdiction thereof” applies to the person born.
It does not say your parents must be subject to the jurisdiction.
Even though they would be subject to it, if they were not, the child still could be.
Which is the very reason that the US makes a tax obligation on everyone born in the US, on their lifetime worldwide income.
So the US has, for decades, been arguing they do have birthright jurisdiction to people born in the US (including those born to illegal immigrants) by nature of levying a tax on income those people earn, even if they return to their parents home country.
English
@anthon79380 @Christophe74732 @middle_class_us Fair.
I guess those super popular and trendy cities and metros just aren’t on the docket for young people anymore. Some great towns in the Midwest. Much cheaper homes out there. good luck, sir.
English
@NotSure365 @Christophe74732 @middle_class_us And the median house cost 3x the median income. Now the median house costs 8x the median income

Entry level unemployment just hit 13%.
Mortgage rates above 7%.
This is a generation being locked out of every door at the same time.
No job to start. No house to buy. No savings to build.
And the generation before them telling them to work harder.
