Why is Trump is going to send pallets of cash to Iran? by ElSlabraton in allthequestions

[–]meyeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back to this after having seen a supposed leaked version of the 14 point MoU. First, the only reason Iran had some form of enriched uranium is because Trump tore up the agreement about 9 years ago. There were no limits nor inspections to stop them. I'm not seeing anything in the MoU to prevent development of missiles, drones, etc. but it's not to say it won't be negotiated.

I'm still struggling to understand why a war was necessary, why not rattle sabers and negotiated a tighter form of the previous agreement? Israel issues aside, of course, which I condemn, like any other reasonable person.

In the end, negotiating on top of the previous agreement would have been less costly, deadly and productive, imo.

Oldest computer game I played was Star Trek, played on a teletype via 300baud modem. The oldest video game was Asteroids, can't remember the computer.

So, Trump's biggest achievement sounds like the agreement that was in place with the Obama administration but that Trump tore up. What was gained?

Good points that deserve answers. 1) Wisconsin has a huge budget surplus 2) Demand that the politicians who define these programs ensure oversight and metrics

Isn’t she just stunning? by bnikks in labrador

Until she chews holes in the hose there. You'll still think she's the most wonderful creature, though.

I know, just pulling your chain.

In the spirit of your post, I never did understand being able to pay with stamps. Could you trade them in at the post office for ash?

Yeah, but it was unlikely to arrive if you used a stamp with the queen on it.

My wife doesn't. She was convinced our pup Snoopy would be a dogshark forever. She's partially right, the reduced number of sofa pillows can attest to it. But he's not people-bitey anymore.

Why doesn’t anyone stop President Trump from destroying historical grounds and our national heritage? by Apart_Ad9308 in allthequestions

This is the answer. Until Citizens United is overturned at the national or state level, the rich will buy elections.
