"Trump will swoop in to rescue Assad."

As well he should.

When Russia, the US, Iran, and all their proxies have a common enemy, it speaks volumes about that enemy.

There is no circumstance where Syria becomes a western nation. You can have Assad or someone like him, or you can have an Islamic state. Those are the two options. It's pretty clear to me which option we should favor. Not much different than in Israel.

There is no such thing as price gouging, certainly not for products with price elasticity.

Kroger can charge as much as they want. It's up to the consumer to determine if the product they are considering buying is worth more or less than the money they will pay for it.

Um, this is normal. It's relatively rare to have a service secretary with military experience.

I left the US...never going back. Except for the week after next. For work.

Was it always full of drug addicts and degenerates, or was it always there and I had become immune to noticing it?
