@RossKneeDeep Didn't Bill Clinton have sex in the Oval Office with an intern? Was that misconduct? Because I remember the Democrats downplaying it as though it was no big deal.

So, let me get this straight. A Democrat commits sexual misconduct and the party does the right thing and gets rid of him. But, the Republicans pause about the consequences. Heck they'll even elect him to the presidency. Are we really the same?

@Pro__Trading Right now, all Trump has to do is control the Strait. My best guess is that the US and Israel are planning to take out the IRGC command where they can find them.

Iran just refused to take part in a second round negotiations. They are officially calling Trump's bluff. What's he gonna do?

@stevehou Does a cease-fire mean we leave the Strait open when even Iran admitted they don't know where the mines they dropped are? Would you prefer an oil tanker finds one of the mines instead of the US?

Can someone explain why the US was still enforcing the blockade during a period of formal ceasefire when Iran had publicly committed to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and allowing ships to sail through but the US insists on the blockade until a deal was finalized? Just because?

@grahamformaine I always thought more billionaries means the US is creating more wealth. More wealth means the wealthy are creating more jobs and spending more. Is that not a good thing? The billionares aren't the ones making housing more expensive, demand is.

America has ten times the billionaires today than we had in 1990. In rural Maine we have fewer schools, fewer hospitals, fewer young people who can ever hope to buy a home. Money has been sucked upward, out of our towns and into the pockets of the billionaire class.

@mattgaetz It's easy to try to paint this as indicative of the entire IDF. But I don't like this kind of tactic. This is what the Left does all the time, Gaetz.

@cenkuygur "fund allies"? Don't you mean fund terrorists? Whose "they"? IRGC? We are already in a war with Iran, and "they" are losing badly unless you believe Iran over Trump.

Trump is making the maximum Israeli demands of Iran. That they have no enrichment at all, they open up the Strait of Hormuz and they hand over their foreign policy to Israel and promise never to fund any allies. They will never agree to that. This is a way of guaranteeing war.

@Pronounthis @cenkuygur Iran wasn't the first to violate the terms, though. We were. So, your theory it was Iran is already fully out, right from the jump. And, ahh shit, no, that knocks out your first theory, too. Sorry, it was just Trump. 🤷‍♂️

Why do people keep believing Trump's obvious lies? He said Iran was going to keep the Strait open even though we were going to continue to blocakde their ports. Why would they agree to that? Well, it turns out they didn't. So, they just fired on ships and closed the Strait again.

@LisaRHP @middle_class_us So, no one is irresponsible in your mind? If I spend all my income on drugs and partying and come up short on rent, you would say I'm judgmental for saying that's irresponsible?

@middle_class_us That’s actually abusive when they say that abs act like the person is irresponsible. I am tired of the arrogant, out of touch, blame shaming toxic boomers who do this.

@BraddrofliT Why do people think they're entitled to a billionaire's money? Isn't it greed to feel entitled to money you didn't earn?

@greendragonhq I think many on the Right would love to see a flat tax out of fairness. Does the Left support a flat tax?

“We can’t be mad at corporations and billionaires for using the tax codes to their advantage” Yes we can. They lobbied our politicians to pass laws that benefit them specifically.

@DrJillStein Is it insane to repeat the threats that Iran and Islam want Sharia Law and their theocracy to take control of the world?

@AJEnglish Negotiation points should be mutually agreed upon by both parties.A party such as the ‘Great Satan’ cannot impose its conditions on another state, or the negotiations will fail. It must respect the sovereignty of nations especially Iran, because the war imposed on it was unlawful

@DrRitaDed So, incentivize less innovation, less work, and more dependence? I suppose if you're the one who wants to do less and get more, I can see your incentive.

I don't see what was controversial about my last post. If you earn to much, you pay it ALL back in tax. The world would be so much better if everyone was on an even playing field with wealth. Everyone gets the same amount. Everyone is equal. Everyone is happy.

@yvessirae Do you know what capital gains tax is? Do you also know that they don't include those taxes when they talk about income tax? Most billionaires don't pay an income tax because their income comes mostly from investment, IE capitol gains.

The GOP is flailing with their ‘Biden was worse’ talking point to explain away high prices. And as for the comparison to gas prices under Biden because of the war in Ukraine, remember 71% supported sending weapons after Russia invaded, and most still say it matters to U.S. interests. And that aid was approved by Congress and we were part of a coalition of over 50 countries. Novel concept to the Trump admin to listen to the people and get Congressional approval!
