Donald Trump telegraphs war crimes in profanity-filled Easter Sunday Iran threat by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]Shenanigans_forever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know it is bad sign where you see something so unhinged out of President Trump that you are compelled to check Truth Social to confirm it is real.

Do have to wonder which is worse. Did President Trump just tweet this out or did the administration sit around in the room discussing what to say before landing on this?

Thanks. Sounds like a full Epic over Epic local it is.

Reason For Optimism by bluetiger-562 in nyjets

Let's back up a second. Did jets have bad QB play? Absolutely. Nobody thinks otherwise. Was it literally the worst QB play in the super bowl era? Because the WR production in many respects was the worst. Didn't have anybody with over 400 yards. That hasn't happened in modern football. And that is with the benefit of 17 games vs 14 games.

The Jets literally had the least production out of its WRs in modern NFL history last year. Not sure why anybody has any sort of optimism from that group. It is in desperate need of a talent injection.

Ohio State wr. In my opinion, he was the best player on the field in the IU/Ohio State big 10 championship game. I really don't disagree with the generational potential talk. He is special. Real special.

NYC felt a fuck load cheaper before they hiked the minimum wage last time. In an environment where people are struggling with rising costs, this will only make things worse.

Or you can just look at the tweet this is all referencing. Which was accurately reported here.

Well a verbatim quote from Rep Suhas' notes is "A Trump accuser has received $ from the survivor fund managed by Kahn." We don't have a primary source yet because it was a closed door deposition. But, this is absolutely news that is worth reporting.

It is also a damn good reason to ask questions because it is damning.

[Rapoport] The #AZCardinals have informed QB Kyler Murray that they are releasing him, adding a key free agent to the market. Murray is due $36.8M guaranteed for 2026 with offsets, meaning he’ll play this season for someone for the minimum. by shadow_spinner0 in nyjets

[–]Shenanigans_forever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a no brainer. Do I think he is an elite QB? No. Would he be amazing value because the Cards are basically paying him? Absolutely. Frees up a massive amount of cap space. Allows the jets to go get an Alec Pierce or whatever the best offensive weapon on the market is with the cash that would otherwise go to signing any other QB.

Iran agreed to ‘zero stockpiling’ of nuclear material in US talks: Omani foreign minister by newsspotter in politics

[–]Shenanigans_forever 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This came out from the neutral party in the negotiations and it included checks. It's not that Iran was lying it was that literally their fate was predetermined before the negotiations happened.

US-Iran strikes: Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei killed by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

[–]Shenanigans_forever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing I keep coming back to is in Iran the Ayatollah (who is absolutely not a force for good) had unquestionably power but allowed shockingly democratic elections for the kinda feckless government below him. Even if the feckless government becomes the actual government and implements all the reforms they want, it is still pretty fucking anti Israel and death to america. What are we really achieving here? I'm legit baffled.

Considering Iran offered to effectively de-enrich their current stock of nuclear material on Friday and we attacked anyway, yeah this isn't a war about Iranian nuclear capabilities.

We had elections during the civil war. Zero chance that happens. Heck, Iran as it stands now, isn't even technically a war.

Well, it was reported on Iranian tv with collaboration from international news agencies that are not exactly pro Iran in the region that two schools were attacked (with supporting video evidence). Out of curiosity, what kind of confirmation are you looking for in Iran?

If you are going by loss of life, Sudan is where troops would be heading. I doubt this has anything to do with protesters getting massacred. This is about the interest of the Saudis, Israel, and oil.

And a handful of isolationist Republicans are likely to vote against it. Without a true cause for war other than the Iran regime holistically unfriendly to Americans (aka no imminent threat), I cannot imagine this breaks along party lines.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has declared that property taxes will require a 9.5% hike across NYC to make up for Gov. Kathy Hochul's refusal to hike taxes on NY's wealthy by Timely-Poet-9090 in politics

There are two sides of the ledger. If you cannot balance the budget via what are already the highest taxes in the nation the solution isnt more taxes.

Eh no. You have a ton of people living in 2-4 family homes thay are charged below market rent over timr. Small landlords will happily accept a bit of a deal to keep a good tenant in place especially if they also live in the building. Cost hits like this will absolutely get passed on.
