I've always thought that the Iranian Revolution smelled a little bit like lox. You have a rapid change to an Islamic theocracy that includes death to Israel as part of its constitution but Israel is on good enough terms with them to act as a mediator for Iran-Contra a couple years later...
Iran and Israel had a significant mutual threat in the form of Iraq, it was more pragmatism than anything. There's also the religious aspect, the Sunni-Shia schism was and is also a lot more violent and long-term source of tension dating back well over 1,300 years...Israel's existence is a drop in the bucket in comparison.
That's an insult. Delicious salmon everywhere.
They'll cozy up to Trump because Trump is getting rid of the one tool corporations have to defend themselves from the bullying the unions do: cheap immigrant labor. But they still hold socialist/communist beliefs in their hearts, borne from years of fighting rich capitalist bean-counters. If you spent decades fighting to get more pay for workers against rich businessmen, you likely won't like capitalism as a principle. Once Trump outlives his usefulness, they'll show their true colors, but right now, they're happy to use him to destroy their competitors.
The gaslighting is just unbelievable at this point. Don't believe your lying eyes as you look upon the streets of America filled with despondent, homeless drug addicts willing to do anything for their next fix. Ignore all the statistics showing a majority of Americans living paycheck to paycheck or how 40 percent of Americans can't afford a 400 dollar emergency expense. Plug your ears and cover your eyes as the average cost of a single family home has skyrocketed to half a million dollars while prices shoot through the roof. Wave away the younger generations who are going through a massive crisis because they can't find a job after years of education, for a job market that has radically changed since they started college. Lastly, blame the American working class for their suffering through all this, ignoring all the signs of a failing society and sweeping under the rug how massive amounts of money printing happened under Trump's first term. Have the brain dead shills at the Heritage Foundation make up total fairy tales on your behalf, rinse and repeat.
Rent control is a mistake. Chances are the landlord housed the rich so the tennant can pitch in for upkeep.
Can't say I really have one. TBH. But if you want my layman, pull-an-idea-out-of-my-ass suggestions even I have doubts on:
MAGA wishes to be deceived, and so they will continue to be deceived. By the time they realize they were deceived, it'll be too late.
Lol. Lmao, even. Literally talk to my coworkers all the time about how nothing has changed, money wise. Still trying to climb out of the same hole we've all been in the last 5 or 6 years.
I hate to be "that guy" but to be "comfortable" living in the "middle class" parts of NYC, you need a household income of at least $125,000. Living there sucks every single penny out of your income. $142,000 per year goes a really long way in other parts of the country. Not in the Five Boroughs.
I mean, the big problem with the F-35 is it had some high-profile failures like crashing. It sounds like the Baron in Battletech where it's supposed to be a top-of-the-line fighter craft, but it sucks in practice and is given to other nations for being loyal.
God I can’t wait for this fucking shitshow.
