  1. I'm with you on this one 100%. I hate getting put under. Always opt out if possible. I'd much rather take the pain that's left over from pain killers imperfections.
  2. Reminds me of simple folk saying shit like “I don’t know about this global warming…. Seems cold to me”. Mid January in a blizzard. bottomwatcher knows. Look to the ocean. Look at the global currents. Look at the surface temperatures. Look at O2 saturation. We are alive as a consequence of the oceans cycles. NOAA decided to stop reporting ocean data under this administration. Breaking decades and centuries of charts helping us watch what’s coming. It’s one thing to say it’s not our fault. It’s another thing to deny it’s happening. Some correctly state it’s a cycle and it happens with or without us. And they are not wrong. They fail to acknowledge the rapid acceleration that has not been a historic norm. We are absolutely ignoring our species future because it won’t be happening in our lifetime. I’ve committed my life’s work to negate as many of my fellow humans impact as possible. But in truth I don’t think I’ve done anything more than reducing my personal impact. And equipped my kids with the knowledge to further that journey.
  3. You are one of those people with the basic understanding of social boundaries, but as soon as you get just a bit comfortable in a situation your character starts to break free for all to witness. While that has had to have been difficult in many times in your life, I don’t pity you. You are not a child. You’ve had time to rise above this. You didn’t put in the work. Now you use age as an excuse when really it was your ticket. monkeys to diss black people. And using GAY to insult me. You are a stereotype. And without a group of highschool dropouts to laud your lack of tact, you stand alone, below. fuck off.
  4. Because Democrats aren’t a cult. Largely weren’t impressed with Biden. You’ve shown your colors, and it’s shit. If I were MAGA and commenting here, I’d be pissed to have you posting and associating with me.
  5. Hey Thomas. Fuck you. Directly. this shit on Ratsun?
  6. Fair to your point, the details are not final and we shall see what results. I expect the result will be more war. Because absolutely nothing the Iranian regime has even entertained considering has been close to what Obama had in place. And Trump will need a deal he can at least pretend is better than what he tore up. John, If you didn't get at least an 8% raise since Trump took office, you are making less. I'm not blaming Trump for all of that so maybe 7.5%. The nuclear aspect is not a good angle for you either. They are not entertaining any proposal that is better than Obama's deal regarding refined nuclear materials. In fact, they have far more stockpiled now since the agreement was destroyed. And they are not agreeing to remove any of it. Dilution is all I am hearing about. So just as capable as before, and now we've killed the leaders father. I also don't want to downplay the money we spent on this war. The collateral damage to adjacent friendly nations. Our own service mens lives. And the Iranian people. We've inspired a whole new generation of adversaries in a nation that was starting to shift. This was a disaster, and we are only beginning as I don't see this deal panning out.
  7. You've already paid for this war. Your tax dollars, like mine, funded our military, who has spent billions fighting this war. You paid for it. Out of your wages. The really fun part is you additionally paid for the subsidized gas your state pays for out of your tax money. So regardless of how little gas you use, you pay for everyone else's cheaper gas. You do. The unique thing here is that you are so willing to defend this administration that you will deny reality to make it work for your narrative. I've held my job for over 20 years now. Lead electrical engineering manager for the company for 12 of them. I've got a retirement. I've got no pension, but invest. I'm affluent enough to know that the money I've saved is only as good as the value that money holds on the world stage. Which is directly tied to the debt you care so little about. I don't work 4 tens because I'm not an hourly employee. But that's a great schedule to have. I don't smoke, never did. and I don't do drugs aside from some Hawaiian grass on a blue moon. But I've also never had a history with drugs or alcohol that I needed to recover from. Been solidly employed since the day I graduated college. I don't say things like "I never want a republican president again". Because it works against people to have rigid doctrine such as that. It allows you to be manipulated. I will though learn from history and look for the tell tale signs of predatory factions. They will wear red or blue, depending on their desired target. Those who seek divisive topics such as transsexual immigrant purple haired panhandler druggies. Associate them with their counter to amplify a threat. And shut the minds of their followers to any and all evidence of their failures with distractions and manipulated narratives. despite your assertions, I don't watch any of the news stations you reference. I don't even watch TV. I've got no social media accounts aside from FB for marketplace. But never go there otherwise. I will see BBC on occasion. NPR on occasion. AP sometimes. Even Al jazeera for contrasts. I look at Fox to laugh sometimes. But I've got no go to. They are all owned by someone. And they will all fall in line with someone. The one source you should always stray from would be the one that is closest to your government. As the most respectable function of a free press is to keep the government in check. I'm friends with Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Citizens, Immigrants, Homeless, Parents with gay children, Gay guys and girls, no Transvestites, but I'd be open to that if I knew any. Why not? They all have so much to offer in this world. Now there are shitty people in all of those categories that I'd not befriend, but that's because of their character. Not because of the category they fall into. I hope you know people that are not the same as you. It's truly one of the greatest things about Hawaii. Everyone is mixed. Everyone grew up under 20 different cultures. We all have influences we don't even know where they come from its so mixed up. The thought that immigrants are the source of problems are just comical. In Hawaii, there is a particular immigrant that was problematic. Same immigrant that America found problematic. Wiped out more than half of the population with disease when they arrived. But really, your boogyman latino is just leverage to pull your support. A time proven tactic. Step back and look at Iran. This is a travesty for the US. Trump got rich from it. You got sucker punched and don't even know it yet. Have some integrity of mind to evaluate this as it is.
  8. I want to sarcastically compliment your keen sense of humor. But as I typed I just failed to find it funny. This is just incredibly myopic. Trump just gave Iran back their frozen assets which is Billions. We are PAYING them 300Billion dollars to pay for damages. They will still have Uranium that the Obama deal limited them to. We get nothing. Zero from this deal. Unless you know something secret only MAGAs know about. It depresses me that you didn't look at this deal and throw in the towel on defending this. Our wallets, reputation, and future took a massive hit for nothing.
  9. Paid a little over six a gallon today. Good thing I rarely drive my truck. EV for day to day with solar to offset the electricity. it was nice of Trump to kill the tax credit for solar so others can’t shield themselves from gas price fluctuations.
  10. You guys likely pay around $8K every year toward the interest of our current national debt. $300,000 in your lifetime. Trump added $100,000 of that his first term. And that’s the interest payment alone. This term is looking worse so far. He’s the least fiscally responsible president possibly ever. I’ve not really studied them all though.
  11. Markets are up because businesses aren’t paying taxes. Bankrupting the country like he does his businesses. He gives zero fucks about the country as he has his money in foreign banks. But yeah. Markets are up. My returns have been great, but what’s the point if it’s for the sale of our constitution to the paper mill.
  12. Anyone following the Trump Family suing the U.S. for 10 billion dollars because a private contractor leaked proof Trump didn’t pay taxes? 10 Billion. And here’s the fun part, his justice department decides whether to take this to trial or to settle out of court. And if he decides to settle out of court the judge can’t intervene. Currently the judge has indicated that the case will be thrown out as not having merit. But a settlement would not be impacted by that opinion as it would not go to trial. And as part of the settlement agreement, Trump is floating immunity from future prosecution of all federal financial crimes for his person, his two sons, and the Trump org. FYI, is is currently fighting a 10 million dollar tax debt that would go away as a result of this settlement. MAGA guys, how do you feel about this? For some reference, two other claimants from the same leak were impacted and sued the government as well. They won and were awarded an apology from the U.S. government. That was the comparable verdict. As there was no damages to award from a private contractor breaking the law. They’d need to sue that contractor for damages. and Trump awarding him and his kids financial immunity himself? What say you?
  13. And he calls Trump positive. Truly the most negative, caustic, insulting politician we’ve ever seen. Every president in our time has been able to handle critics. Trumps fragile ego somehow isn’t off putting to the MAGA crowd.
  14. To have that happen at home is just tragic. So very sorry for the parents especially.
  15. I can tell a true story. High school days. Pot dealer acquaintance dusted his herb with coke. Earned a ton of repeat buyers that would have bought from others. Didn’t take much and he was known for having the best weed. Those who knew better knew what was up, but pretty sure he netted gains as a result.
