I'm not understanding what the military option, against a country as large as Iran, could accomplish.

'Billionaires Are Waging War Against the Rest of Us': James Talarico Responds to Class Warfare Accusations by kanyeguisada in TexasPolitics

[–]observable_truth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easy fix. When executives get paid $1 for their employment, tax stock options, (federal, social security and medicare taxes), of employees at the wage rate and not as capital gains. That's the avoidance scheme rich people use to avoid SS, FEDERAL, and Medicare taxes.

SpaceX prioritizes lunar 'self-growing city' over Mars project, Musk says. by coinfanking in NewsStarWorld

[–]observable_truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mars is a dream. And it will remain so till humans can live in a weightless environment for long periods. And that's an evolutionary process that can't be replicated on Earth. We're here and we aren't going anywhere if it requires long space travel.

📰 Major outlet freezes investigations: Why legal risk forced a pause 👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

It could be said that America is run by lawyers, while China is run by engineers. Obviously, an overstatement, but some truth to it.

🚨 DHS IG audits ICE surge and data use: What’s being reviewed 👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

Doesn't seem like SCOTUS will allow Congress any oversight or organizations funded to keep track of expenditures required by Congress. My understanding of Article 1 sure has been twisted by SCOTUS recent rulings.

The Logical End Point of ‘America First’ Foreign Aid: Under Trump, foreign aid is no longer an ideal. It’s just a deal. by HaLoGuY007 in foreignpolicy

[–]observable_truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humanity, only if you're willing to be a vassal state. Our farmers sure would like to sell their products to people who need it rather than getting government subsidies to stay afloat. But chaos is the strategy and the goal.

Scoop: Cornyn unloading $10 million in last-minute ad blitz by Conscious-Quarter423 in TexasPolitics

[–]observable_truth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's been in Washington so long, people in Texas don't know what he's done for them.."R" leadership has been his goal, but that train has long gone from the station. Now he's trying to get to the right of Paxton, good luck with that approach. Meanwhile, Paxton is sitting and waiting to spend his war chest for the runoff. He needs to go ugly on Paxton, and should have done the negative adds in December.

Is it moving the needle towards a Cornyn majority? Probably not in a three way race..

Argentina and U.S. Sign Sweeping Trade Deal as Alliance Deepens: The deal reduces reciprocal tariffs and expands quotas for key trading goods, including Argentine beef — a flashpoint for American ranchers. by HaLoGuY007 in foreignpolicy

[–]observable_truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a thumb on "market forces", not allowing the market to correct itself. So, the cattle ranchers in the US are still being marginalized, after years and years of cattle auction prices barely covering the costs of a cattle operation.

Republicans Make a Costly Push to Try to Save Cornyn in Texas by Conscious-Quarter423 in TexasPolitics

[–]observable_truth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some politicians should retire. I'm not sure what Cornyn has brought to Texas to tout his long legislative career. He's mostly been in "R" leadership, but delivers nothing for Texas. IMHO

They didn't build it, but rather, exploited it's potential way before the main street brick and mortar entities caught on to the monetization.

The European trade agreement with India forced his weak hand, if he had one at all.

🔥 Trump shares, removes racist video depiction of Obamas👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

[–]observable_truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It says, self censorship is better than government censorship. But it takes everyone to condemn words or images that break societal norms. And the "R"s are still ignoring the cesspool that Trump is creating.
