Trump threatens Jorge Rodriguez with more blatant terrorism unless he privatizes the world's largest oil supply. If the new admin capitulates, Trump calls that a win. He gets the oil and the spectacle without losing a single american troop. The US will lose respect from its allies - again - but they never do shit about it. iTs AmErICa FiRsT. america

Rubio and the Cuba lobby are furious though. They are serious about regime change. The option that gets the most people killed.

One of them only tells lies.

With all his experience I'm genuinely surprised he only managed to kill one guard.

There's also a little hole in the base of the handle that can fill the handle with water while your cleaning it.

In case y'all forgot Trump's last term, his general pattern is to constantly announce insane plans and only follow through on a fraction of them. Cutting the pentagon's budget in half is one of the distractions. Some General will dandy himself up in his class A and jingle some blueprints for a useless wunderwaffe and the defense budget will go up.

Its not about lack of nuance but more about deliberately being a useful idiot because not everyone has the patience of someone like cowbee. Let me translate your example:

• Slavery is bad.
• Slavers say Dessalines is bad.
• Therefore Dessalines is good.

Now its 2025. Dessalines is long dead and we can safely say the free people of Haiti deserved a better leader. But back in the 1800s I'd back Dessalines to the hilt because I'm carrying absolutely zero water for slavers.

"Ceramic" is just different proprietary PFAS chemicals that are not Teflon and so haven't been proven to cause cancer (yet).

Enamel is a baked on paint like you'd put on pottery. Kind of glassy.

Are we supposed to forget how much these corporations donate to political campaigns? Am I supposed to believe UnitedGroup was donating to Bernie Sanders?

The only fixes that can be made to the health insurance industry would directly cut into their profits. Better yet: eliminate the privatization entirely. There's no compromising with the insurance companies. This all must be done at strictly their loss.

The M4A movement was absolutely incompetent if you compared it to health insurance Super PACs. It was basically a bunch unpaid volunteers, many with their own medical debt, against fully salaried lobby groups paid for with our premiums, our denied claims.

By that logic any presidential candidate would be banned from disagreeing with the president on active foreign policy issues which is absolutely not true. There's no legal reason why the VP can't disagree with the president.

Wasn't there a video years ago where an young Iranian women schooled reporters when they hit her with this propaganda? This was the period far more intense political repression and violence against the public than the Islamic Republic. You could be beaten in public for wearing the hijab at this time.
