It's easy to spot a comment that is pertinent, because LFTHNDTHRDS will deflect with a "Johnny did it too" defense.

RE #10:

Fifty years ago, the USA celebrated 200 years since its Declaration of Independence with a President that was not elected.

Today, the USA celebrates 250 years since its Declaration of Independence with a President that likely will be evaluated as one of the worst (if not THE worst) President in its history. A President that can list amongst his most visible accomplishments:
- recklessly endangering the US's (and the WORLD's!) economy with specious application of tariffs and sneak attacks on Iran,
- the destruction of the East Wing,
- paving over the elegant Rose Garden,
- mass pardoning of those arrested for the J6 riot,
- turning the South Lawn into a 'circus venue',
- the failure to fix the Reflection Pool (in fairness: it's commendable to expend $$$/effort to address the algae problem. HOWEVER, it is pathetically disgraceful to entrust that task to a no-bid crony and then blame others for the failure!).

Whether due to apathy, ignorance, maliciousness, or some other reason(s): there's no excuse for allowing the USA to come to this point.

An intense time for me.

This album was released the day after my birthday and only about six weeks before the draft lottery drawing which was to determine if I was going to go back to college in the Fall or going to go to Vietnam. In many ways, this album (and Joni Mitchell in general) was a small life preserver for my psyche then.

Re: #4:

1. You seriously believe that President Trump is telling the truth about the treaty terms?

2. Even if true, do you seriously believe President Trump will honor those terms?

3. Did you not hear President Trump say these terms will be carried out only if Iran fully complies? Hmmm, and who is judging if Iran is fully complying?

It's precious to watch how some folks are so easily repeatedly duped by weasel words from a consummate prevaricator.

Re: #11 & #12

Since you seem willing to judge before the investigation is concluded, let's just find out how serious you are:

I propose that if these two individuals are actually found to be guilty of vandalism, then the full weight of the justice system should then be applied to them.

OTOH: if President Trump is found guilty of slandering these individuals (make no mistake: President Trump's statements are severely damaging to these folks!), then he should be personally held fully responsible to compensate them due damages (BTW, no hiding behind that Presidential Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card!).Re: #11 & #12

So, it should be easy to provide a link.

Of course, if you can't/won't, then I suspect others will be inclined to give you all due respect.

In a related matter:

It seems curious that there's little info being disseminated about how this helicopter crashed. IOW: how can an Apache helicopter be shot down over a hostile body of water and the two pilots are "OK"?

Unless, of course, it was NOT shot down. What if it's simple pilot error, a bird got sucked into the engine, a drone (ours or theirs) clipped the tail rotor, mechanical failure, etc., etc. . I'm (probably recklessly) presuming the controlled info that's being released is even moderately accurate. The only thing that seems certain is President Trump is touting this event as a hostile action worthy of an escalated response.

Just an observation ...

Re: #6

Besides the glaring omission of any link for that graph (which would, hopefully, provide methodology for this graph), one is forced to only examine the words of the individual who posted this item. According to this graph, "never" is seems to be defined as since the year 2000. Given that the US is celebrating 250 years of independence, that is just a tad short-sighted.

Re #14:

If you publicize a claim without verifying its veracity, then it's your claim ESPECIALLY since there's no mention along the lines of: "CBS claims etc."

Don't spread BS while hiding under the weasel words of "Welcome to the real business world". WTF does that mean? I've observed nothing in your posts which would suggest you are providing wisdom from some savvy corporate individual!

Re #11:

It's your claim, you provide the proof.

Re: #8

Sez CBS.

Serious question:
Why would you believe what they claim?

Free advice (worth every penny):
Rather than believe what CBS says, watch what they actually do in the future.

Second Amendment rights are not unlimited, and the Supreme Court has clarified that the government can prohibit "dangerous and unusual weapons" not in common use for lawful purposes.

I suspect the $4.98/gallon mentioned in #12 is in US dollars per gallon.
