  1. British Columbia tried this already. British Columbia drops decriminalization of drugs in public IMO mandatory drug rehab laws are necessary. Mandatory testing for anyone charged with a crime and testing for anyone receiving government support payments. The treatment centres should be welcoming,lots of programs, good food, etc. Obviously a person has to decide for themselves that they have to walk away from drugs. So it may take a couple rehab trips, or more. British Columbia drops decriminalization of drugs in public So did Oregon When Policy Isn’t Enough: Recriminalization in Oregon
  2. Makes sense. When gun owners shoot looters they need a place thats open to dump the bodies.

    Trump

    Don't be. Call it stupidity or insanity trump supporters love the ultimate barker Should trump become president his next score is: "Chase Herro is an online salesman who proudly calls himself a “dirtbag of the internet,” able to sell anything to anyone. Zachary Folkman ran a company called Date Hotter Girls, offering advice under a pseudonym on how to pick up women at bars. (Is this guy a kindred brother to the "pussy grabber" or what). For the past decade or so, the two men have been serial entrepreneurs, leaving behind a trail of lawsuits and unpaid debt and taxes. Now they are former President Donald J. Trump’s business partners. Mr. Herro and Mr. Folkman are the forces behind World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture that Mr. Trump and his three sons announced on a livestream last month. The Republican presidential candidate declared his new enterprise would help turn the United States into “the crypto capital of the world.” His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., said Mr. Herro and Mr. Folkman would help engineer a financial revolution based on digital dollars. “You could put them in a boardroom at Goldman Sachs, and they’re going to smoke the people in the room,” he said." So we now have trump, Musk, these two characters and trump's children. All out to fleece every last cent from the stupid, the gullible and the insane. I hope they take the trump base for every cent they have.

    Trump

    In order to save the American constitution you MUST vote for trump. Or so said Elon Musk. Elon is now all onboard the trump wagon. "Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla, X and SpaceX, posted that private relief flights to North Carolina were being blocked by the Federal Aviation Administration, a claim dismissed as false by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg." “Exclusive: Victims of Hurricane Helene Confirm The Federal Government is Purposely Blocking Rescuers and Stealing Aid In an Attempt to Keep Deep Red Areas From Voting,” Alex Jones posted Thursday on X. "stories proposing that the government used weather control technology to aim the hurricane at Republican voters quickly racked up millions of views on X and other platforms. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., endorsed the idea, posting Wednesday on X: “Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”
  5. I'm sure that Musk's political activism has cost him Tesla sales already.
  6. If you can call the following replies to his posts that Brent loves to start threads espousing nonsense. He gets called out for it. But like his intellectual masters trump and Vance, he never changes his opinion or concedes the truth.
  7. Facts? Hard facts? Facts with regards to the GOP have been beaten to death a decade ago. I'll quote trump himself "details don't matter". Brent. Brent. Do facts matter?
  8. Not shocking to about 48% of American voters on the right of the political spectrum.
  9. Yes which reminds me of the Iranian general that trump ordered killed in Iraq. Which is why Iran is now sending out hit-men to assassinate trump in the US. mmmmmm....... Perhaps there are some 'very fine people" among the old Mullahs!.
  10. Iran is trying to save face in the region. Save face with the militia proxies it owns. To not start an all out war. Israel has killed likely 15,000 Hamas fighters while Iran has done little in overt support. An estimated 40% of Hezbollah assets in Lebanon have been destroyed and likely several thousand fighters killed. For which Iran has done little. The old Mullahs in Iran will fight Israel to the last drop of it's proxies blood. But in the Arab and Persian world, saving face is all important.
  11. Both countries have substantial military assets.Israel #1, Iran #2 and Turkey #3 in the region. Both know the costs that an all out war would entail. Israel is small geographically. Iran has an estimated 3,000 ballistic missiles.As well as thousands of drones. No defensive system can intercept that many if they are launched in a short time frame.
  12. In the north of Israel few civilians get killed or injured because 60-80k have been evacuated. Its not chest thumping as these were the best ballistic missiles that Iran has. The missile and missile debris land in non populated areas because the accurately targeted ones are intercepted at a standoff from the targets. The 180 missiles were not enough to overwhelm Israel defences. Especially so with UK, US and Jordanian help in shooting down the missiles. Israel may decide to just continue dealing with Hezbollah for now rather than get deflected in starting another front. The US is likely to just keep additional naval assets off the Israeli coast. So they can continue to provide missile interceptions without endangering personnel. IMO
  13. Iran is in the process of launching a multi wave attack comprised of hundreds of ballistic missiles. President Biden warned Iran that it would face "severe consequences" if it attacked Israel with ballistic missiles. What should the US do if anything? If trump was president he would naturally end the war immediately and give Iran 1/2 of Israel. Using the Russia-Ukraine peace model.

    The country is fed up. Except for trump and a cabal of useful idiots.
  17. Trump wouldn't feel guilty. Why should you?

    Isn't that the real equity of the DJT business model?

    Trump

    The crypto industry is spending $120 million on this US election. They have already bought trump. Trump's offspring, led by Barron have their own crypto. Yesterday trump himself initiated a $100 coin-"medallion" containing one ounce of silver. Silver is currently worth $30 an ounce. Should the greenback be shorted?

    Trump

    Are you sure because I thought trump didn't invest any cash of his own. In other news insiders are dumping stock "Trading volume accelerated significantly as the lockup lifted. More than 14 million shares changed hands on Thursday and nearly 22 million were exchanged Friday, far exceeding the 30-day average volume of about 8.3 million shares. Within the first 90 minutes of trading Monday, traders swapped about seven million shares." I feel bad for all of trump's fanboys who lost big time. Like $97 peak to $12.54 now I guess it certainly fits with the MAGA narrative that the economy under Biden is terrible.
  21. Somewhat agree. The plain and simple answer to which US political party spends the most is both. But its trump that did covid relief to the tune of $2.2 trillion. Then because the trump gov was so incompetent of that spending $280 billion was stolen and $123 billion wasted. The economy was shrinking when the covid bill was debated and implemented.
  22. Everybody deserves a little slack. Not everyone has perfect memory. But the current world view that a person holds is based upon the information and the personal thinking surrounding that information. If you feed yourself a bunch of garbage information and philosophies. Commonsense becomes a difficult outcome for a person. "The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,[b][1] also known as the CARES Act,[2] is a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 116th U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump on March 27, 2020, in response to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[3][4]" above from Wikipedia. It was trump and his gang of republicans that brought the covid act into effect. Separately was the "The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), (H.R. 3684) is a United States federal statute enacted by the 117th United States Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on November 15, 2021..... This amended version included approximately $1.2 trillion in spending, with $550 billion newly authorized spending on top of what Congress was planning to authorize regularly. So the Bipartisan infrastructure plan is 1/4 of what trump spent. Furthermore most of that spending has not been allocated yet because other levels of government are still finalizing plans and seeking tenders.

    Trump

    Its too easy to blame the US for its somewhat bull in the china shop international military interventions. IMO it mostly arises because politicians can't resist using the most powerful military in the world. The US leads NATO, its started an alliance to counter China. Led the opposition to the Russian invasion.etc, etc.
