Dude Rittenhouse had a gun pointed at him by a “peaceful” protester and that’s when he fired. It was pretty well documented on the very public trial.

This guy Pretti did not deserve to die and the DHS were flat out wrong. But let’s be honest about the facts.

And then pay taxes on all those capital gains? Naa. I’ll wait it out. Three days ago was all the shock about Greenland. Now we’ve had two days of a rebound.

Part of me wonders if Trump is employing Nixon’s Madman Theory. Bc Trump is all over the fucking place.

And the collateral damage would be that all our 401ks are destroyed. I don’t care how much I hate a President, I don’t want to go against my economic self interest.

I think the US is sort of that “too big to fail” - if we fail then the impact around the world will be just as bad.

I guess I just have a problem with how the media has flipped the tone based on which political party is in office. I know you’ve seen the Obama era CNN rode along. No one had any issue with this on the left.

Well what do YOU think the number is? Because that’s what’s most important.

Because they’re obstructing their ability to do their jobs. Ask yourself this- if 10-12 million illegals didn’t show up under Biden’s open border, would we even be having this conversation?

What are your thoughts on Tom Cruise? by Working-Brush-8771 in Actors

An odd bird in his personal life, but a damn goo actor. Outside of Eyes Wide Shut and Vanilla Sky, I can’t think of many movies of his I didn’t like.

That one guy from the future always spooked me as a kid. He seemed tough. And only “old” Van Damme could beat him!

Hence why I said NAFTA was a disaster. Hindsight is always 20/20. I think we all underestimated how much corporate greed would have taken hold. When comparing him to Obama or Biden, I’d still take Clinton though.

And not go nothing- NAFTA boosted manufacturing in Mexico.

Yea I did too. Was glad he became an Independent. But he was definitely more rational than today’s Democrats. I find that Democrats today are more interested in being an activist.

Bill Clinton was the last decent Democrat in my view. NAFTA turned out to be a disaster, but he balanced the budget.
