The Strait of Hormuz:
How it started: Closed to everyone except Iran
How it's going: Opened to everyone except Iran

@Player0129876 @SyafiqHussaini1 @FlankedJose @DrEliDavid Oh fuck, the US did all that???? Can you sell me an island for like $20k?
English
@YoUDeeMac @SyafiqHussaini1 @FlankedJose @DrEliDavid We've opened the strait and blockaded iranian ports I don't know how much more control we could possibly have
English
@Player0129876 @SyafiqHussaini1 @FlankedJose @DrEliDavid The US quite literally does not control the strait…

@CascadiaWinters @MW4Liberty Yes because the income tax pays for roads.
Toll roads actually exist, and typically are more efficiently built than tax-funded roads.
And yes, private companies do build their own roads on occasion.
Was this your argument? Really?
English
"Without income taxes how will things get funded?"
And
“Without slaves how will the cotton get picked?"
Are the same questions just in different wrappers.

@Cult45Translate @hollyoxcoburn @ericmmatheny Yeah I too am curious when capital gains was “double taxed”
English
@hollyoxcoburn @ericmmatheny When was the income generated from capital invested taxed?
English
Flat tax.
Whether you make $1000 or $100 million.
A fixed percentage for everybody. And that’s it.
A one-page tax form. No bullshit.
Everybody pays a reasonable and equitable amount. Everyone - from the wealthiest to the poorest - have skin in the game.

@jmires73n @ChrisMartzWX @peacfulmummy How to pay for that then? Back when tariffs or import duties were used to raise $, there was no defense spending...
English
@YoUDeeMac @ChrisMartzWX @peacfulmummy I did not read his post that way. National defense is one of the only things federal tax dollars should be spent on.
English
English
@YoUDeeMac @ChrisMartzWX @peacfulmummy Are you advocating for having a weak or non-existent national defense?
English
@ChrisMartzWX @peacfulmummy So we are going back to when there was no standing military?
English
Same way it was before income tax was levied. Sales taxes and tariffs. Most government programs can be shut down, they’re useless. Education should be handled by the states. Infrastructure only gets worse as taxes increase. Lowering taxes and reverting back to a gold standard would ensure responsible spending.

@seamus_coughlin spoiler alert, the justices (all of them) dont actually abide by the constitution... Otherwise the whole birthright citizenship thing wouldve been dismissed outright

You're a supreme court justice, your decisions are supposed to be predicted by the constitution Sonia

@TheLaurenChen @mattsquair “These guys” apparently it were other SAS members. Idk what the truth is but the aren’t nothing

@mattsquair "These guys said you did it 15 years ago"
Dude SCREW that.
English
Being a soldier does not give you license to kill indiscriminately.
But this veteran is charged with war-related killings 15+ years after the fact.
There are no forensics. No footage to review. No bodies to autopsy. No crime scene to investigate.
How can this be a fair trial?

The Australian government just arrested our most decorated veteran from the Afghanistan War for alleged war crimes. Ben Roberts-Smith was awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia after singlehandedly storming two Taliban machine gun positions by himself in order to save his own SAS team. And this is how we repay him. I spoke to an Australian Afghan war veteran who told me that the Australian government literally paid for billboards in Afghanistan offering to pay random Afghans to come forward with war crime allegations. What country on Earth would do this to itself? Tell me: When does the Taliban plan on holding war crimes tribunals into their own people? When do the Taliban plan on holding themselves accountable for terrorism? Absolutely retarded to purge your own men when fighting a brutal barbaric enemy that respects no rules whatsoever. We are a cucked nation. Free Ben Roberts-Smith.

@mbonce161 @bennyjohnson I guess looking in the wrong places and missing the point. Have to think beyond the obvious.

@shipwreckedcrew Dumbass doesn’t understand that if there are connecting flights, the luggage is transferred and people don’t go though security a second time…
English
Dallas, Houston, Miami, Charlotte, Orlando -- all have incoming international flights. World Cup visitors can make connections anywhere in the country from those airports.
Marc Polymeropoulos@Mpolymer
what a cool way to ruin the FIFA World Cup, destroy all tourism in the US, causing billions in losses for the economy....and ultimately ensure not just one but both houses of congress flip in November.

@SamualWarngtm @baileyrice_ @Mr1beard @DC_Draino I’d like to add, based on the info out there, this started as a civil suit from the guy and he lost that suit, opening up the possibility of criminal charges.
English
@baileyrice_ @YoUDeeMac @Mr1beard @DC_Draino Because properly investigating war crimes and having enough evidence to charge someone takes time. I prefer it to be well investigated and a considered decision to prosecute over a quick charge based on insufficient evidence.
English
Australia is prosecuting their most decorated war Veteran in order to demoralize their nation.
Leftists hate strong men who love their country.
They want subservient simps for their government.

@baileyrice_ @Mr1beard @DC_Draino That’s why they arrested him and likely to be a trial. But if there is testimony to it from members of the SAS, what’s that say about the case?
English
@HoosierLight @MonarchoHoppean @MrAndyNgo So here’s not going to be a trial in the future? Just detained permanently? Herp derp derp
English
@YoUDeeMac @MonarchoHoppean @MrAndyNgo No? Civil and law trials are different and don’t always correlate. Other dude even said it take more prof.
Ur a retard.

@HoosierLight @MonarchoHoppean @MrAndyNgo Isn’t that wha this next part is about? To hold a trial to determine guilt? Derp derp derp

@MonarchoHoppean @MrAndyNgo But wasn’t confirmed, so he’s innocent? Yall got some dumb laws.

@James31Warner @MarkleMarkles @RNCResearch This is a current mission, as far as I know, so the extra funding could be for other missions. The bill was passed last year. This mission has been in the works since fist trump admin. Likely means it was fully funded before the OBB.
English
@YoUDeeMac @MarkleMarkles @RNCResearch Yea I'm sure the $10,000,000,000,000 additional funds they received last year and will continue to receive has no bearing on these missions....🤡

President Trump and Republicans funded NASA through the OBBB, which is what has made this possible.
You voted against it.
Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer
Good luck to our brave American astronauts headed to the moon, the first crewed NASA mission to the moon in over five decades. Their journey is a testament to our incredible scientific capabilities, and a reminder why we need to invest in NASA and science writ large, not cut funds as the Trump administration has done repeatedly.

@ChristianHeiens Do you not understand grammar and the English language?

According to Liberals and subversive Libertarians, it’s actually impossible for there to be any “persons born in the United States who are foreigners” because they think everyone born inside the boundaries of the US are automatically Americans, despite the fact that the 14th Amendment’s own authors literally went on the Congressional Record saying that the amendment does not apply to such people.
English
How fucking retarded do you have to be to believe that the original intent of the 14th amendment’s authors was for citizenship to be automatically granted to the children of tourists, illegals, and even enemy combatants who are being held on American soil?
The man who wrote the amendment quite literally went on the Senate floor and publicly declared that it wouldn’t apply to foreigners or aliens.
Cheese For Everyone!@CheeseForEvery1
And the First Amendment doesn’t apply to the internet and the Second Amendment doesn’t cover the AR-15. After all, the Framers never conceived of these things.
