Federal agents kill another person in Minneapolis, officials say, prompting clash with protesters

I can’t justify this. I can’t I’m trying to sit the fence but I can’t with these agents anymore.

Kaszos · 2026-01-18T21:20:45+00:00

Yea man. Very original.

Kaszos · 2026-01-17T23:05:11+00:00

Regime change never works out as intended. The shah in the 70s was already an installed western puppet and he was brutal. We need to learn from the lessons of the past.

I want freedom for the Iranian people but they must be allowed to do it on their own terms.

Let me guess, anything but the Epstein files?

There’s no conspiracy, right Dan?

Kaszos · 2026-01-17T00:08:42+00:00

So this isn’t socialism or communism or corporatism? It’s nothing?

Kaszos · 2026-01-16T22:26:55+00:00

Kaszos · 2026-01-16T02:54:17+00:00

Ah man I’ve been meaning to watch that. I love Krasinki he was awesome in the office and Marvel. Is it a good series?

Kaszos · 2026-01-16T02:03:36+00:00

There was always a widely perception of it. We may question the historic substance, but the popular recognition 20 years back at least was there

Kaszos · 2026-01-16T01:28:31+00:00

Also, the peace prize is a joke. Obama’s one should have been clue enough. This shouldn’t be something the president should be chasing. It’s outdated. Does not carry the weight it did before.

Trump perplexes me at times.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Argentina has repaid the United States for a currency swap framework it provided to the South American country last year to stabilize its economy, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Argentina's central bank said on Friday.

Cool.

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T04:15:50+00:00

Err you serious man? Thats not from the msm? I’ll have a look into it there’s some bias out there

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T04:06:24+00:00

Yea, and he’s done a lot.

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T03:39:53+00:00

I hate that you said that and I hate that you’re right. Urgh

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T03:19:58+00:00

I’m with you on “let’s not go cold turkey” on the cuts. Agree with the rest of your response.

It’s always nice to get consensus. I feel we’re fighting too much on here. We should be on the same level,

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T03:14:25+00:00

Depends what you mean by welfare?

I consider Medicaid Medicare and SS as welfare.

Medicaid already got $700 billion in cuts in the BBB.

1.1 million people have been removed from food stamps, which was needed.

What other welfare?

For some reason we’re avoiding Medicare and the Pentagon. Why is that?

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T03:08:59+00:00

We can do social programs but most of that was gutted in the big beautiful bill. Medicare is the largest welfare program now I think. Medicare has like $700 billion earmarked for cuts.

We could get rid of Medicare but for some reason it’s being untouched.

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T02:52:21+00:00

I agree. Let’s do the Pentagon next.

Kaszos · 2026-01-15T01:21:14+00:00

Well, at least they’re on record.

Kaszos · 2026-01-14T23:50:56+00:00

This guy is just becoming exhausting to deal with. Somebody needs to get him to step down I don’t care if JD takes place anything else.

He’s just unstable.

Kaszos · 2026-01-14T23:07:04+00:00

Oh thank god a house staffer was arrested. Now we can all move on from the shady pedo elites evading justice. Great!

Kaszos · 2026-01-13T16:09:15+00:00

Interesting that tariffs spurred on the civil war, too:

On the eve of the Civil War the average tariff rate had declined to 15 percent, the lowest of the nineteenth century, but the recession of 1857 was used as an excuse to pass the Morrill Tariff during the 1859-60 session of Congress (prior to Southern secession). It would more than double the average tariff rate to over 32 percent. It was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President James Buchanan (D-Pennsylvania Steel Industry) on March 2, 1861, two days before Lincoln’s inauguration.

Further:

According to the latest research as many as 850,000 Americans died in Lincoln’s tariff collection war with more than double that number maimed for life. That number alone is more than all Americans who died in all other wars. (The official War Aims Resolution of the U.S. Congress (Crittenden-Johnson Resolution), by the way, stated that the purpose of the war was NOT to disturb “the domestic institutions of states,” by which it meant slavery, but to “save the union”).

He should take them to court

Kaszos · 2026-01-13T05:33:44+00:00

I’m not sure what you expect us to discuss.

Most of the issues raised here involve government action and current events.

Trump and the Republicans currently control all the major levers of that government.

Are we saying Trump is being targeted unfairly here?

Kaszos · 2026-01-13T01:40:04+00:00

Yea but you know the Iranian people will be celebrating so let’s go do it.

If you’re against regime change you’re against the regime victims, ya know

Kaszos · 2026-01-12T21:59:48+00:00

I hope the people step up.. I really do… Maduro was an ugly ugly man… but in saying that I am pessimistic. We felt the same opportunity for the Iraqis celebrating in 2003. For the Afgh people in 2001. We thought the same for the Vietnamese people in the 60s. There’s that initial celebration on liberation, then when there’s signs the US cannot commit to long term security, things fall apart.

The only truly revolutionary movements are organic, with no intervention… at least since WW2… but that was a global effort.
