By holding oil prices hostage Iran shows Trump that regime change can go both ways. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...
People often criticize traffic enforcement cameras as "cash grabs" but there's a robust body of evidence showing that these cameras change behavior and reduce speeding, thereby preventing fines.
The "most moral army" strikes again.
If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz
I like how the random ends of sentences force me to read this in a. Very. Captain Kirk... Way.
we have known about this threat for 20 years. amazing
I'm in Rochester NY, where people make the same arguments against adding new housing as this one. "It could be better, so let's not allow anything at all."
Yes, I don't understand why adding 300 affordable homes is bad just because you're also adding 900 fancy homes.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
What's bad about 300 "permanently affordable" new homes?
The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
ngl, thinking that the issue here is just that "US is rational and stable" is a load-bearing assumption for a lot of things so people default to it. because house of cards collapses entirely if assumption is put into severe doubt
I wasn't sure if you and the original post were talking about Iran, medicine, the climate, or what

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.
Danish Defense Minister: Continue.
"If you miss a few shots, throw your professionalism out the window."
"we're not doing nation-building, we're doing the opposite of that."
So, nation-destroying.
