At the moment it’s about racism. The goal is to make America less friendly to immigrants. They haven’t started to really hit “nuisances” yet. That’ll come later once this is all normalized.

Can someone steal man the other side? This isn’t making sense to me.

Trump world also pardon any offenders if it made it to court.

I’ve yet to be convinced that Americans have any common sense.

I think the F-150 has some really cool features for a serious work truck. The front with the low entry means you can put relatively heavy tools there. The power outlets add a ton of functionality. The only thing it really doesn’t have IMHO is the ability to do serious towing… But that’s a problem with all electric vehicles.

Now I’m not a serious pickup guy, but from what I’ve seen, the F-150 looks much more built for work than any other EV on the market (and most pickups).

The stupid thing is, it was so easy to see what needed to be done. Tesla needed to release a pickup that appealed to Red State America. Functional first, but high end and ultra manly. Kind of like the F-150 lightning but cool.

Tesla needed to appeal to traditional pickup owners. Then Musk’s run to the right would have actually fallen in line with that strategy. But the Cybertruck is the exact opposite of that. There are probably more techies who own cyber trucks than there are pickup owners, and that’s pathetic. That’s a failure to understand your target demographic. This really comes down to musks insane hubris.

It’s funny, I hate clinical people like you almost as much as the evil people doing this to us. Democrats are not complicit, especially when they don’t have any power.

It’s stupidly low. It opens our government up to being bought very easily.

What? Really? Chiang Kai-shek just ran his army over to some other random country and took it over? That can’t be right…

If you can’t tell the difference between Biden and Trump, then you need to quit sniffing glue.

Holy shit, someone’s getting fired at the CBO! How dare they put out honest data.

24 hours he said. He could end the war in 24 hours. All he has to do is talk tough and Putin would bow to his flabby pasty white biceps! Anyone who doesn’t recognize this as 100% pure bullshit should pull their head out of Trump’s fat ass and have their it examined.

I don’t think this is a good counter argument since this was more allies getting together to discuss and negotiate plans. Zelensky and Putin would be more like the Emperor of Japan meeting with FDR to discuss a peace treaty for Japan. Or Hitler and Churchill getting together.

Leaders usually wait until an agreement is in place before putting their reputations on the line, as there’s always resistance from hardline “fight to the end” factions. It’s smarter to confront that opposition only when the benefits of a deal are assured.

Camp David Accords? 13 days of negotiations with the US, Israeli, and Egyptian leaders of the time? I think the Dayton agreement was similar too. Leaders are involved in this stuff, not always but it’s certainly not unusual either.

This is a reason able counter-argument. However, I still think it’s quite rare for leaders of two nations actively at war to come together and discuss a peace plan.

Peace talks usually don’t include the real leaders. This really seems to be a non story.

Negotiations are done by lower level diplomats and the agreement is signed off by the leaders. That’s diplomacy 101. Name one major 20th century diplomatic deal that was negotiated by the leaders in person. I know we all hate Putin and Russia here, but let’s not be stupid in our criticism.

It’s also a tragedy-of-the-commons type issue. Nobody else can use the park if they are camping there. There are legitimate safety concerns due to the mental health and drug issues that are prevalent in the homeless. To pretend these aren’t real issues is stupid.

I’m being honest here. This is an issue that is a challenge to solve, but I still don’t want a bunch of homeless people in my neighborhood. I’d like to find a solution and I’m not afraid of my tax money is going to help them, but tent encampments are not the solution IMHO…

I’m very liberal on 95% of issues, but if there is one issue I lean conservative it’s homelessness. I want them to get the help they need, I support programs to help them, but I do not want to see a homeless encampment s take over public parks or other areas. I don’t want the trash and safety issues near where I live and near my family.

I know this will get me dumped on my the ultra leftists here, but I didn’t think my feelings are unreasonable.

What other examples can you give? As a California resident I think your comment is bullshit.

I bet this is just India making a statement to Pakistan. Turn off the water for a few days then turn it back on.

As people pointed out, if they keep it closed very long it will overflow so India doesn’t want that. Also blowing up the dam is one hell of a stupid suggestion. Can you imagine how bad that would be to the people downstream? And you know who is down? Pakistan. That would be so dumb.

This is a political point, and they can’t possibly be cutting off water for any real length of time.

This is more like a trade-war crime. If this is a war crime then the us has been committing an endless war crime by sucking sooooo much of the Colorado River before it goes into Mexico.

If this is a war crime then Ukraine committed one when they shut off water to Crimea.

(This is not a war crime)
