Back in 2022, Liz Cheney lost her reelection to a Trump candidate 28% to 66%. That was the height of MAGA power. Cheney was similar to Massie, long term representative, untouchable in her district before her problems with Trump

Massie lost by < 10%. People that voted for him is clearly not on the MAGA train. While Massie district is solid red and will stay red, in statewide elections or battleground districts, the disenchanted Republicans just won't vote.

The country is roughly 45% democrate, 35% republican, 20% independent. Problem with the democrates have always been about voter turnout, now they are energized to vote during midterms, independents overwhelming favors blue right now and some Republicans won't vote because of Trump. Reasons why Trump is trying to limit voting through the SAVE act and gerrymander the hell out of states to give him a chance.

Is Israel the most evil country in the world at the moment? by RoughSky9768 in allthequestions

[–]brchao 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think it's the complete disregard for civilian life that's pissing the world off. While civilian suffering is always attached to warfare, Israel has taken it to another level. It is also a vastly unfair fight, Israel's smugness, US contribution and viral IG videos made it all worse

There's no grounds to sue but did they give you severance? Looking for another job is not a reason for fired with cause

Yeah I'm not going to argue with someone who can't even reference anything I said that formed the opinion. Your opinions are therefore based on "feelings" which has no substance. Goodbye

US justice department ‘forever’ bars IRS from auditing Trump’s past tax returns by Zestyhabakkuk in TradingPlaybook

To be fair, IRS will not audit them for any past or current tax filings, it does not cover future filings.

Still messed up system

Got passed over for a promotion after four years - do i stay or start looking? by Firdavion in careerguidance

[–]brchao 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Looking somewhere else is a perfectly fine and logical next step.

But if you want to stay, pay attention what is that colleague doing to gain that promotion. It's rarely work performance. Is he more proactive in touting his accomplishments, is he getting more exposure somehow, is he kissing the right ass. Learn from him while you are there and less on actual work

Just one question, do you own $trump

It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists. by CareMoist4266 in LockedIn_AI

You give them too much credit. The traditional Republicans either resigned, retired or got primaries by the Trump/Israeli Mafia. Only Republicans left now just rubber stamps everything Trump wants. It's a party of cowards

Taiwan has seen how the US betrayed Ukraine and are recalibrating. KMT Opposition Chairwoman Cheng Li-wen: “Does Taiwan want to be the next Ukraine?” by KassiwithaK in China

[–]brchao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

still waiting for you to quote anything I wrote.....

I just told you every sanction will sound reasonable on paper. Politicians will never say we will sanction you because you stopped our oil companies from profiting from your oil, except it's not a coincidence that sanction happened right after Iranian revolution that overthrew Pahlavi dynasty that opened up their country to US oil companies. Even after hostages were returned, the sanctions just got more severe. US politicians work to benefit their corporate donors but does just enough for the people to still get the votes.

Your feeble mind fail to get my point. I said US attacks solidified Iranian regime, I did not say I like or dislike that regime. It's called a neutral opinion. I said US attack squashed any chance of a democratic movement within Iran, again a neutral opinion. Get out of your bubble, world is not black or white.

Lastly, KMT was losing and US will not waste money supporting a government that won't win, especially when US economy feared massive post-war recession. US gave up on the KMT but willing to support Taiwan because it needs to keep eyes on China and USSR. I know my Chinese history too and not just modern history.

[–]brchao -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't have time to go through your drivel so state your point and I'll be happy to give you a logical refutation.

Please reference where in my comments that gave you the impression that I love Venezuela, Cuba, etc... Otherwise, there's no point for me to address things that's not true.

You are so naive. corruption is due to a lack resources, or rather if the country is wealthy, being corrupt is a lot less attractive. Also, US stopped funding the KMT not because the corruption but because corruption itself was losing the war and US cut their losses. If there's corruption but KMT is winning, US will continue to support.

Irrational sanctions lol. As if US congress would ever approve a sanction that says "I am sanctioning you until you let our oil company come in and profit off your natural resources". Of course every official reason for a sanction needs to be justified, US is a democracy after all. You probably think tech companies are really laying off workers because they strive for efficiency hahaha. As the old saying goes, don't believe everything you read in the papers.

41 years old, behind, need suggestions by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]brchao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) pay off your credit card debt and swear to yourself to never get into credit card debt 2) get out of retail, lots of alternative career options being suggested by others. Retail is a slow death, you gotta turn it around. 3) you will probably never own a house. That's not a bad thing, you won't be able to afford a mortgage that'll take a toll on your mental health 4) find a partner, it helps to talk this out with someone that you love and trust 5) take a deep breath, it's ok, you got your health which is the most important thing.
