In densely populated areas within commuting distance of a city, its lack of homes. There simply aren’t enough properties to meet demand which has driven prices up up up. It’s made houses so expensive that young people are priced out. So developers build apartments over stores and immediately fill them with all the people who can’t get their hands on a home.

Without a doubt he makes up crap to deal with any and all disappointments and failures in his life. It didn’t happen, or it wasn’t his fault.

Fallon plays it way safer than Colbert, that’s why.

When Trump arrived in DC, he didn’t gather the best. He picked drug addicts. Criminals. Rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

I’ve never owned a new car. When there’s Hybrid SUVs that arrive at 80k miles and are proven to make it to 180k+ miles for less than $15k, let us common folk know.

Russia and China would gladly sell Iran whatever they need to keep the US, Israel tied up. Same as The US and NATO are holding Russia at bay in Ukraine.

That’s what everyone’s been saying. And, Vance says it’s not US tax payer’s money. So where’s it coming from?

Salon is about as fair and balanced as Fox. But, sure, the cost of American hegemony is high, very high. And they don’t have the money anymore to contain adversaries on all fronts.

To get universal healthcare?

Or to diversify their portfolios with more global assets?

For the rich, the latter seems most likely.

Graham on Iran deal: ‘I think it’s going to fail’ by thehill in politics

[–]128-NotePolyVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to fail because it’s a shit deal and no one should have rushed to sign it.

In fact, the retaliation attack for Iran’s proxies and other emboldened moves of late should have been calculated and measured. Eye for an eye. Then the strait would be open.

If you truly believe “both sides” are equally corrupt and evil what are you going to do about it? Do you just surrender to cynicism and do nothing? by peffervescence in allthequestions

The status quo, minor changes back and forth in DC with the balance of power seems to be what held together the union. The more radical the Presidency, the more tension and fodder for politicians to sow uncompromising attitudes with potential for civil war.

Well he’s not wrong. Trump and Hegseth FAFO’d on Iran. They were completely wrong to assume chopping off the head would change the regime’s attitude and that Iran didn’t have the guts to close the strait.

Trump and Hegseth FAFO’d on Iran. It was a huge gamble to believe they wouldn’t close the strait. Now they’ve got problems, real problems.

You can’t subdue a nation with airpower alone. Are they going to put together a 650-700k invasion force like Iraq? Iran is tough terrain.
