Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

The more I read this thread, the more I'm convinced the only way to begin fixing most of our problems is to actually release the entire unredacted Trumpstein files, let them all fall (guillotine anyone?), and start the f' over.

Let whatever system(s) collapse, I'm tired boss.

Maybe it's just me but lately things feel like a test. How much can the political and general elites openly piss on everyone before things go really sideways? It just seems crazy. Is there a war effort in modern history more disapproved by the american public than attacking Iran? (quick look over there, Aliens!)

I just went through this exact same thing. Ordered a new spray drone and had a tariff charge of 7%.

I don't think any country has a 7% tariff.

The grift never ends.

Trump’s “Board of Peace” is not a U.S. government body. It’s a private organization controlled by Trump himself, who is designated chairman for life and has the authority to choose his own successor.

That's not what a grift is.

I don't think we know the answer to whether it's a good or bad thing yet.

If you want to complain about what happened with the Iran/US relationship, you really need to go back to the 70s.

Meridian Police: Suspect staged accelerant around Portico building before ambulance crash

A police spokesperson confirms the ambulance was stolen by a suspect from St. Luke's Meridian. Police have not located the suspect at this time.

Interesting story. Ambulance stolen and driven into a nearby building. Driver gets out of the wrecked vehicle which is inside the building, and grabs stashed gasoline to pour inside and out. Driver couldn’t start the fuel and ran away as police arrived. Still not found.

Interesting fact is DHS rented space in the building very recently. This was a failed ICE protest. Nobody is going to be mad when the suspect gets years in prison.

I won’t be to my office until middle of next week but I’ll look at it. I’m 99% sure that’s what it was but I will check.

Trump order seeks to protect weedkiller at center of barrage of lawsuits

President’s move, which also seeks ‘immunity’ for makers, faces backlash from health advocates and Maha coalition

Just another broken promise. My grandpa died from lymphoma likely caused by years volunteering in the war against weeds in Beaverhead county.

The long term effects of Iraq and Afghanistan should be ignored?

I think most of us can agree we've had enough war at this point. Maybe its time to take a break.

Not ignored, but they have little to do with Iran other than making Iran stronger.

I think it depends on what the "war" looks like which hasn't happened yet. It's just speculation on what happens at this point.

What is the best possible outcome from attacking Iran?

When was the last time we attacked someone who didn't want to fight with us and it worked out well in the end?

Edit: Also need to go back further than the 70s. We regime changed them out of a democracy in the 50s because they were trying to nationalize their oil. I dont see how any of that relates to an unjustified attack right now and countless billions more down the drain and the creation of a new pipeline of expensive problems for years to come.

Supreme Court just said Trump's tariffs are not legal.

20 years. $8+ trillion spent. Thousands dead. To replace al qaeda with.. al qaeda.

But at least we created a shit ton of islamic refuges for europe and the us.

That's not what a grift is.

What is grift?

 

[Bonasababy]

Speaking of best possible outcomes!

The SCUS just ruled that Trumps "emergency" tariff application is illegal!

Maybe it has to have an illusion of legitimacy to be a grift?
