We could have withdrawn aid to Israel. Biden was sort of attempting to protect the election. Bibi's gambit has been to stay in office. That means War.

I blame Biden more for not providing Ukraine sufficient air power to blast through the growing minefields behind the Russians lines during the 2023 counteroffensive.

Hey, you're with me, brother. Biden should never have supported Israel the way he did. Didn't gain him or Democrats anything. You'll always be "anti-Semitic" unless you follow the full Israel line.

I'm so goddamn tired of that. It's about time the party spoke up about Israel. And its genocidal project. Stop giving them money.

It's true. This country has become an Israeli proxy. Stop it!

And, yes, we could have provided more for Ukraine. You're absolutely right. Russia has nothing. Other than nukes, which they won't use. We would have taken Ukraine in a month. And, despite being next to them, Russia hasn't done shit all. Just a paper tiger.

What waste has he actually cut?

I think reductions, not eliminations, in a number of programs were probably warranted such as USAid, head start, even NIH among others.

If they are wrong, add some of them back in. But logically, the best programs, the best science, gets funded first. And then the second best program all the way down the list until the budget runs out. The hope is that by cutting the budget, the remaining money goes to the best programs, and the least effective programs die. I thought we even had a shot at making the biggest cut, defense, but looks like that isn't going to happen.

Still can't find it, huh? Maybe you should cuss some more. Or just double down on the lie. Seems to be about your level.

You are right I shouldn't have cursed, but when you called me a liar and I am 100% confident that I had those arguments with you and Callatoroy about trump being a good leader, what do you expect. The arguments were that he could convince enough people to vote for him therefore he was a good leader, I've been bringing that up ever since, every time he does something bone headed, which is pretty much daily.

Anyway, I don't have time for you or a search. It is well known that you are not a good or reputable poster, so I'm not wasting my time. And the fact that you actually support some of the haphazard trump cuts shows exactly where you stand.

They didn't even have time to find any "waste" with the way they suspended the funds so quickly. It was and continues to be a bunch of bullshit. How much was cut from the defense budget? How much did his parade cost? This crap.aboit cutting waste is just grandstanding for his stupid cult worshipers, many who were affected negatively by the blind gutting he did and were too stupid to see he doesn't really give a crap about them.

A sign of bad-faith arguing is conspiratorially believing that everyone who disagrees with you is somehow the same poster. That, combined with your intentional misreading or disregarding of articles that other posters have provided to us is your second strike here. Truly a horrible outing for you today, and I expected better. That's my bad.

He has been bad since the election. Like gone over a cliff. Didn’t seem like he was on the edge until it was clear camala was going to lose and then…gone.

Yeah. I never said it. Sounds to me like you're the one with a credibility issue.

What the fuck are you talking about? The JCPOA boxed in Iran and guaranteed nonproliferation with a strict inspection regime. Trump ripped up that deal, Iran got back in the nuclear weapon business and now Trump is dealing with the results of his own actions. Obama had this one in the bag until the idiot orange creature fucked it all up.

Hahahahahahahah. Iran ruled certain sites off limits. That deal was pure shit from the get go.

In what way?

I don’t know. Most likely fear mongering. But I’ve often thought about what a direct attack on NC would do to the armed forces on the eastern seaboard. There is a large concentration of military personnel here.
 
Is it too much to ask that we just have an opposition party in this country that stops treating the American people like children and speaks to them frankly? Tells them to stop being dumbasses, in a sweet, little way?

I know it's anathema. But I have stated that I would love for a politician to dress us down. Tell us what we are. Because, it's true. We are just dumb assholes, spoiled as hell.

It would be quite the gamble, but I think something would resonate. Couldn't be any worse than what we have had. If charismatic enough, they could help a cultural change.

U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile​

Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director of general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said he believed Tehran’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade nuclear material had been moved before the strikes.

Officials Concede They Don’t Know the Fate of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile

Both Vice President JD Vance and Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, acknowledged questions about the whereabouts of Iran’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade nuclear material.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

“… But there was also evidence, according to two Israeli officials with knowledge of the intelligence, that Iran had moved equipment and uranium from the site in recent days. And there was growing evidence that the Iranians, attuned to Mr. Trump’s repeated threats to take military action, had removed 400 kilograms, or roughly 880 pounds, of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity. That is just below the 90 percent that is usually used in nuclear weapons.

Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director of general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said by text that the fuel had last been seen by his teams of United Nations inspectors about a week before Israel began its attacks on Iran. But he said on CNN that “Iran has made no secret that they have protected this material.”…”

Trump turns everything thing to shit, would this be any surprise? Things could still go well regarding regime change, I guess, but JFC.

Only difference is I used to defend you when people here called you a dumbass. I learned the hard way they were right.

Yeah, dude, please don’t. You’re a great poster. I thoroughly enjoy your being in this community and even felt that way when you were ItsBoTime long ago. I agree with you on many things, perhaps disagree on a few as well, but overall feel like I learn good stuff from the perspective and lived experiences you bring here.
