If this photo was posted yesterday, my bet is no one would know who these people were.

I have a hard time seeing Iran agreed to it since the next president, or Trump, can tear it up at any point in time and they already got screwed by that badly


So you think Iran believes Trump is a cog in Congress’s wheel?

You think the Iranian leadership’s perception of democracy and the United States government ins and outs are so complex they think past iron fist rule?
quote:

It’s going to get interesting when Trump doesn’t have the votes for this “treaty”


We aren’t at war with Iran, congress never declared war on Iran.
It’s a political commitment, not a treaty. Think of it like Obama’s Iran deal that never went through congress.

quote:

That’s what you idiots don’t understand. This was completely unnecessary.


There is no amount of reasoning that can make you comprehend the importance in keeping Iran from producing a nuclear weapon.

Which will eventually push Treasury Bills up and interest rates will probably go up a little as well. As one does well it effects the others, giving the TDSers something to bitch about next.

Market up, they bitch about rates and billionaires.
Market down, Trump is killing retirees accounts and billionaires are writing off losses.
Iran conflict driving oil up.
Iran signs deal, Trump folded.
G7. Either Trump looks weak and everyone hates him, or Trump’s a bully and everyone hates him.
Cuba complaints next, they are just waiting to see what talking points and positions are bad for Trump.


Crude oil futures below $75 bbl….

WTI @$81
Gas will probably be @$2.75 or lower by 4th of July.

It wouldn’t be that out of place. Ponce de León was the first explorer to reach North America mainland.

de Soto
Coronado

There’s a reason the Southwest has such a strong Hispanic history.

13 % of the population sure do draw a lot of attention to themselves.


This was caused by the heightened tension from Karmelo verdict.
The previous cruise fight was because of existential racism.
Before that,.. George Floyd
Before that… Statues
Before that… Ferguson
Again…. A lot of injustices that cause angst.

I’m pretty sure reparations would solve most issues.

You give him too much credit. They know he is full of shite.


I’m sure they discount him and aren’t worried at all.

If you think you have any privacy in the United States you're naive. This already occurs here and there was no revolution.
Difference is here we have a right to privacy, and you can successfully sue if that right is violated. In the UK, there are no such rights. They can, and apparently are, passing a law that cannot be ruled against.

The UK is 15 to 20 years ahead of American Democratic Socialist Party. But that time line may be shrinking faster than we all think.



This is why the Democrats want to get rid of that pesky US Constitution.
UK’s Parliament is the final say in making laws, zero checks and balances.

Your father is what ever father would want to do if the opportunity was available. Your dad felt helpless until that moment.


Almost every father in that situation would want to do it. A lot would talk about doing it, but only a tiny fraction of a percent have the balls to go through with it. RIP Gary Plauche, a man among men.

His comments weren’t nearly as threatening as those made by blacks outside the courthouse


Possibly just setting the bar.
quote:

they're just stalling and have been from the beginning. They would gladly sacrifice every last person in the country before giving into the US.


The perception is the US is quitting and has no stomach for much more. There are 100’s of videos on line of elected officials calling the Iranian actions a quagmire and demanding we get out. Media say Trump is hated and has no support. To them, it looks like the Iranians are winning.

Why would they give in?
Yes. Very uncomfortable and unnatural. You feel like you can’t breathe when you come around.

He hasn’t been convicted, only accused. He’ll get some money, but if convicted, he will be cut off. The beat thing would have the trust reimburse the costs of him being incarcerated.

He is JWC, Jewish When Convenient. I would say a majority of Hollywood elite are Agnostic, Atheist, or downright Satanic. They tried to exile Mel Gibson because he said antisemitic things, but hide/turn a blind eye to the pedophiles, predators, and groomers surrounding them.

billionaires hoarding money


This shows you have no clue what is going on. You think people with brokerage accounts are hoarding money? It’s all digital and monopoly money. I recall a few times Elon’s stocks dropped and his net worth went down Billions. What happened to that money? Did it just disappear?

Here’s my advice. Work hard, come up with an idea or business that makes money. Save your money and do with it what you please. Also, don’t worry about other people and try not to be a communist/socialist.
quote:

The top 1% of households owned 31.7% of all U.S. wealth in the third quarter of 2025, the highest share on record since the Federal Reserve began tracking household wealth in 1989. That share has increased even as wealth growth for the rest of the population has stalled or slowed, the data shows.
Also the mean to median wealth factor is 5.5x in the US.


You want to fix it quick?
Change the predatory credit card laws that Delaware enacted in 1981.
BTW, Biden’s home state.
This is the problem, accumulated debit. These companies are killing the middles class who, apparently, have no self control. Anyone can get a credit card now and they are being raped with interest and fees.
Here are a few of the companies taking advantage of Delaware’s system.
JPMorgan Chase
Bank of America
Barclays
Capital One
Applied Bank
WSFS Bank
TD Bank

Instead of people owning their situation, they want someone to fix it for them. One of the ways to fix it is take money from the wealthy to give to them.
