Well, they've given up on trying to further enrich their uranium. I would say at least for the remainder of Trump's term. Probably because they know they can't hide it, and they could spend a year or two building a new enrichment facility, and we could just destroy it in a day again. Seems...

Looks like the attack was pretty damned successful. All of the posters here suggesting that it was only a minor setback appear to be very very wrong.

Just enough to be legally a pistol LOL. OfC, it's a round designed for a 45" barrel, so you're lucky if 10% of the powder has even burned before the bullet is on it's own. Must be a really impressive fireball at the muzzle though. Actual velocity, less impressive.

We *know* Fauci was funding activities at Wuhan. That's officially acknowledged public information. When you're providing the funding you have at least some measure of control. This isnt even a probable supposition, it's a logical conclusion.

Well, anal sex spreads it about 100x faster than anything else, and they're the one demographic where that's their go to. Plus, they've got the same male "fuck anything that moves" drive as the rest of us, but so does their target demographic, is it any wonder that they're mostly man whores ...

Tarrifs are also a diplomatic tool, and that has always been thier primary purpose. Revenue generation was always secondary. That is why the head of state (POTUS) can impose them unilaterally, whereas Revenue based taxes are the purvue of congress. If you want that to be explicitly clear...

Turns out gay men have the lowest divorce rate, then heterosexual marriages, then lesbians. It appears that the stability of a relationship is strongly correlated with the number of women involved. Who would have guessed....

It should just be treated like a business partnership as far as the government is concerned. I wouldn't even be opposed to the standard being to basically form a corporation that holds all marital assets. Streamline that process, and tell everyone to just use it. Makes divorce real easy too...

Everyone fighting about gay marriage is completely missing the point. Government shouldn't be involved in marriage at all. Once you fix that, then it's just between you and your clergy, whatever their opinion might be. As for civil unions, a partnership has been a recognized way to organize a...

Even 5 years ago when we moved out here, the U-haul from NY to AZ cost a good amount. If you wanted to make the return trip it would have been practically free.

The thing I find more ironic is that the left has been screaming "tax the corporations" for decades now. But when Trump *does* that, suddenly they discover that they'll just pass them on to consumers ? How bad does your cognitive dissonance and TDS have to be to think a mega corp will pass...

They're about to find out why the cheese is advertised as free.

Too much lipstick. She looks like a hooker that got rode hard and put away wet.

Doesn't matter, 15 year mortgage or 50, you're still just renting it from the government, even *after* you pay it off. Anyone bitching about 50 year mortgages who isn't also calling for abolishing property tax is just a hypocrit.

I think economically the refunds are a bad idea. But I also think politically they're necessary. The tarrifs are a necessary tool to offset and discourage other countries taking advantage of us. But the average voter won't support them unless they see a direct personal benefit.

There is only one way to avoid corruption in government, and that is to make the government so small and impotent that it's not worth corrupting.

But, the federal government doesn't *need* to balance a budget. In fact they *never* balance a budget. There is zero reason for them to be able to pass a law without also funding it at the same time. And that would eliminate all this bullshit where they manage to hold one vote on the whole...

They need a constitutional ammendment to end this bullshit. Every bill should have to authorize all of it's own spending. Not separate votes for a budget to pay for things that they already voted to happen. Vote for a new whisawhatsit for the poor people in wherethehellistan ? Then that bill...

From what I read all he gave them was a promise to vote on the subsidies at a later time. Which is kind of silly, this whole shutdown has been a vote on the subsidies. If they had the votes for them, there wouldn't have been a shutdown.

I'm sure your tour of Martha's Vineyard would be similar. But, actually *living* in London, you'd be lucky not to be a young native woman. 24 rapes a day in London. 730 for a year in NYC, 8800 for London. But, I'm sure Mandami will work hard for equality there.

We could be as close as 5 to 10 years from where they are. 2 bad election cycles and we are cooked. We *are* that close.

The same reason white people fought to end slavery. Because it's the right thing to do, regardless of whether it's in your best interests. Integrity isn't doing the right thing because it helps you out. Integrity is doing the right thing even though it *isn't* in your best interest. Also...

Any place they draw the line is going to be arbitrary. Wheels were a modern discovery for half the world just a few hundred years ago. And we went from horse and buggy to airplanes within just a couple decades a bit over 100 years ago, so a lot of their technology is already more advanced than...

Liberals want to make the lives of the poor as easy as possible. Conservatives want to make as many of the poor into middle class as possible. That's because liberals see the poor as pets to be cared for, because liberals are elitist snobs, even if they themselves are barely middle class. And...

They've got a playbook, and they've been running it like clockwork for decades. It's not hidden, they're quite open about it. Long march through the institutions - Wikipedia Long march through the institutions - Wikipedia

Divide and conquer. Without the engineered divides we would have thrown the bums out a long time ago.

A justice system should be deterministic. The same facts should always lead to the same conclusion. Now, that's an ideal system the real world can never measure up to, but that should be the goal. When the result depends heavily on which judges, prosecutors, and lawyers are involved, then you...

Judges following the law don't need to be held accountable, they just need to be given better laws. But there *are* many judges that are twisting the law to serve their personal prejudices. There are plenty of Boasberg and Merchans out there. There's also a lot of prosecutors that need to be...

They need something more extreme. Those places either went down hill slowly, or have been a shithole so long that people just think "that's just the way it is". Sort of like the border. The democrats kept saying "this is as secure as it can reasonably get" until Trump dropped illegal...

Republicans should work hard to help him enact his policies. It's going to suck what happens to NYC, but a fresh example needs to be made.

You seriously believe Venezuela would be a socialist paradise if the US didn't oppose their murderous dictator ?

And socialism has managed to turn them into one of the biggest shitholes in the western hemisphere. People never learn.

The true believers will always "that's not real socialism" their way through life. But the moderates who actually decide elections are the ones who need the reminder.

Unfortunately, you don't. As someone who lived in NY for most of his life, I know first hand. You don't get the government *you* deserve, you get the government the average voter deserves. When the average voter is a moron, you get screwed, no matter what you deserve.

They should absolutely give him everything he wants. Give him enough rope. Don't stop him, let him setup his free everything and government grocery stores. We desperately need a local and recent example for people to look at and see why this stuff is a bad idea.

If you continue to pay the Danegeld, you will never get rid of the Dane.

I doubt it. Everyone could see these results a mile away. Democrats don't have to rig elections in NYC, and if a democrat was going to, it would have been Cuomo.

Of the three Silwa would be the best mayor, by far. I don't really know enough about Silwa to say for sure, but he certainly *seems* like he would be the best mayor NYC has had since Guilani. But, the average NYC sewer rat would be a better mayor than Cuomo or Mamdami so that's not saying much.

When you have to choose between Boss Tweed and Mao Zadong, so the deciding factor is "well, Tweed didn't starve half the country to death..."

How badly fucked does your city have to be when that statement actually makes sense.

Tldr; Nobody's actually shifting right. They're just not shifting left as fast as the democrat leaders, so they're recognizing "bat shit crazy" when they read it. So, despite Trump's flaws, they're like "I'll take 2am mean tweets over full on Caligula any day".

I remember when the left would say "if you want to exercise your right to bear arms, then just join the military". We could turn that around. "If you want the government to provide your food, shelter, and healthcare, join the military".

Some of the decisions I've seen about what vendors to select for various projects, my first though was "Those guys must have the best hookers, because they sure as hell don't have the best equipment or even price" "While our competitors spend $1B on R&D last year, we saved a ton by just combing...

Until the people start holding those judges accountable things will continue to get worse. How broken does the system have to get before people abandon it ?

They could issue an arrest warrant. Or at least order another federal court to issue one. It would absolutely be appropriate to charge the NYPD officials with contempt.

You do realize that most of Russia's troops are conscripts too, right ?
