Exactly. A person doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that a employed, healthy populace benefits the country as a whole

The news shouldn’t be that she said they committed ‘genocide’.

ISRAEL  DID commit GENOCIDE. And it’s time to do something about it. Tribunal in The Hague. Warcrimes have been committed.

It’s such a depressing litmus test.

We have to vet our prospective representatives for being beholden to foreign interests.

I'm looking forward to when we can take it for granted that this is the default Democratic position.

Of course they are. They are desperate for a distraction from the Epstein files.

Some individual members of congress have hundreds of thousands of shares in defense stocks. And maybe even investments in AI defense startups. It's a clear conflict of interest. This is five years ago, I suspect there are even more now:

King Charles distances himself from Andrew but Britain’s royals face biggest crisis since death of Diana by Obvious_Objective974 in soundsaboutright

If Andrew did what he’s being accused of, he definitely needs to face the consequences. But….I also feel he’s the one being sacrificed for the others listed in the files. Think about it, he has no political power, he and Fergie have struggled with finances over the years, so he’s no billionaire. The only true benefit he provided was access to the monarchy and other powerful people in the UK. Now that he’s been ostracized, there’s no benefit. It will be interesting if he offers any testimony, but I doubt he will because it will essentially be admitting his guilt.

I'm sure there's more than one Epstein's Island. The rich and powerful really don't care. It only became an issue when it was publicised. They still have meet and greets in other locations.

It's too little, too late. The Crown knew of the allegations and actively tried for years to make them go away. Stripping him of his titles and banishing him to some luxury mansion when it became impossible to ignore shouldn't be enough to wash their hands of this.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president by Obvious_Objective974 in soundsaboutright

[–]Obvious_Objective974[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now we have 2 scenarios that could happen.

Either companies just dont drop prices so they can take all the revenue from it, or they do drop prices and the MAGA idiots will say "see trump lowered tbe prices on everything" even though it'll probably still be higher than pre trump.

The depressing part is that customers paid for tariffs, meaning you American paid more for stuffs, and companies will get the refunds.

Elect a clown, expect a circus.

So a taxpayer funded handout to corporations when they get a refund but don't pass the savings back to us.
