These are the people that Republicans were crying that Biden left behind in 2021.


I was one of those people because I wanted a couple of our translators I worked with safely away, but I certainly didn’t advocate for a couple hundred thousand refugees
Sounds like we may actually have a viable plan that would send money to the individual to bargain with health insurance companies. Sending this money to the people and health insurers should reduce costs because insurers would have to compete for business. I agree that it is still a work in progress but it sound like a better option
I think he needs to temporarily extend them until he and the Republicans put a new plan in place. His idea to give the money straight to the people rather than the insurance companies sounds like a good start
And where were they when Obama authorized more than 550 drone strikes—including strikes that killed American citizens overseas without trial? The same people who claim to care about constitutional rights, executive overreach, and government accountability were silent when his administration dramatically expanded drone warfare. They had no problem with due-process concerns back then, no outrage over civilian casualties, and no demands for restraint or transparency. It’s hard to take their selective moral outrage seriously when they ignored one of the largest expansions of unilateral military power in modern history.

I use to take the train around town... but those days are over. I Uber directly where I need or want to go these days.


Same with me, I avoid the train at all costs now and just relied on Uber the last time I was there
I used to love Chicago, it was probably my favorite city in the nation, but I won't be visiting again until they make some big changes. The violence used to be limited to the south side but now the entire city has gone down the toilet
Energy prices are declining, lower food costs will follow
It could be 10 million and I wouldn’t care. LMKAT 80 million showed to vote for Trump

why can't Trump adopt that strategy?


Because unlike during Obama’s tenure as President, the state and local governments are not working with the federal government.
Rent free? And here you are starting a thread about our uniform choice, seems kind of rent free
If Moss was playing it’s a no brainer, I think the rain would help our chance against the Hogs but he is obviously out for awhile. Our O-Line is stout, it will be interesting to watch how they work with a new running back. Defensively I think we will win that battle, we will force them into 3rd and long and the rain will make it even harder to attack A&M
Unless I misread this, they were detained after trying to gain entry to the base. I would assume they have the same process we have at Fort Leonard Wood, MO where each person’s ID is scanned to see if they have any outstanding criminal history. With Leonard Wood being a training facility, we have a lot of families trying to get on post. If someone has a warrant out for their arrest, they are detained and the local police are called. This is just a guess on my part, maybe the parents tried to gain access and were detained because they had a flag on their record
Seems to be the new tactic on social media is saying our military is ANTIFA since we fought the fascists. Pisses me off to no end reading this bs, they are communists, plain and simple, nothing more than that

Why can't trains expand in America like they are across Europe?


Unlike Europe we have large swaths of rural communities in the U.S.
Qatar isn’t even the first Middle Eastern country training in the U.S.
We’ve had foreign nations on US facilities for decades training along side our military. A lot of times it’s so that we can train them on weapons we’ve sold them. I’m on and off Fort Leonard Wood weekly and they are a ton of foreign nationals training with us
Not looking forward to playing catch up once I’m back to work, but I can’t lie, the time off has been good

They can’t be, that was part of the agreement
