Oh so it's not Biden's fault either.

No look at the graph.... its an inevitability. Its crazy how you want to assign blame, the problem won't be solved that way.

Here's another

Should they be successful, this country will collapse.

I warned about this when Biden broke all faith in the US system when he used it as a weapon.

At that point everyone started looking on how to get out from underneath the USD.

All those USD's will come rushing back, slowly, faster .. then all at once.

Blaming Trump will be you're goto move, but this has been in the works for sometime.

Iran is also in the process of attempting to change the currency oil is traded in from the Dollar to the Yuan.

Iran already accepts Yuan when selling oil to China.

So, when do we attack Beijing?

Would you be upset if the US blockaded the solar panels? Like JFK did? Bay of Pigs??

The solar panels are just a ploy ... the idea is to make Cuba a satellite as is all of BeltAndRoad; mighty close to the US I might add.

Cuba's fault, of course. They simply don't know how to manage their energy needs.

Probably true;

Overthrow a Democracy ... and adapt central planning, it is really not a good thing. Even China gave up on that idea.

Sorry to say but, the world is starting to see that while China creates the US destroys.

Where have you been? In CA alone we have ...
1. HighSpeedRail
2. LAX people mover
3. Wildlife over pass.

Lets not forget the Biden Pier in Gaza, NASA

Every single one is over budget and incomplete.

Read Abundance and you'll understand, Liberals like NoahPinion have finally come around to saying out loud, extremist progressive policies just aren't working.

To paraphrase Empire of Dust. : Kenyans are worthless.
Had to supervise every detail, forcing Africans to work, you'd call it slavery.

On TOPIC: How many hurricanes will China come back and fix the panels for free? You know eventually just like WB they want to be paid.

We reward them with citizenship if they get here
- snoofy

It's just accelerated.

Greencard after a year, citizenship after 5.

But who really cares about citizenship.
I am happy with a green card, I am not committing criminal offenses. I am learning voting is the only thing I am missing out on.

"Originalism is a lie and even if it weren't, is an inherently unjust way to govern."

How is it unjust?

Some would argue the majority is not taking an "originalist approach" at all but is actually practicing "common law constitutionalism", using a mix of history, structure, and their own conceptions of the "common good" rather than a strict adherence to 18th-century original meaning.

Who? Who are those making that argument? Would like to read their assertions.

What about the polling CorkyDaBigot?

Slaughter the source all you want, but the content of the poll is her focus, and you really don't seem to have any thoughts on that.

RE:

I'll use this opportunity to ask if people think US intelligence failed so badly that Trump was serious when he recently said in response to a question about Iran attacking neighboring states that "They weren't supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. Nobody expected that. We were shocked."

Isn't that all the US intelligence does is fail? But to the point, if a country wanted TheBOMB, it should at least behave like a sane country when using missiles. What Iran did is make it clear that if it had the bomb, it would use it in a spastic "kill'em all" sort of way.

If you don't think US intelligence failed at that level then why did Trump make such a statement? Was he simply lying to try to avoid blame? Is he of such diminished capacity that he doesn't remember being told that such attacks were an expected reaction from Iran? Some other reason?

Did you think Iran would attack its neighbors? I don't recall you saying they would. It would be reasonable for Iran to attack US/Israel military installations around the globe, and in Israel and the US. I don't believe anyone thought Iran would send drones to kill civilians indiscriminately in neighboring countries, did you?

Boomers did no such thing.

Literally did.

Bought homes, 70,80,90s, then went NIMBY, stopped all new building ... allowing prices to rise to help their profit statement.

Not to mention the continued stealing from the young to pay for the elderly via SS. What do you think this push in FL and CA is regarding property taxes?

You don't even know whats happening.

Trump did it about 25 times -- that have been reported.

This is just proof of Festinger's hypothesis.

"What is the minimal salary for a man to support a mortgage, two vehicles and 3 children?"

This is a too much of an open ended question.

Is it a new mortgage?
How much downpayment?
Where is the property?
When you say "support", implies the owner has owned it for sometime, how much time? (interest rate).

But a affordability index might help answer ...

They don't want you to own a house.
They want you to rent, forever.
#14 | POSTED BY SNOOFY

Boomers did this ...

But really there's no such thing as owning a house in America. You still need to pay property taxes.

FTFY - ALL lives exist as pass-throughs for moneyed interests.

The question is how much can you filter to give to moneyed interests of your choosing.

What schools did you go to? They failed you.

Your reading teacher failed you Snoofy; don't you understand what he meant by "taking advantage of wet feet" policy? He meant the handouts.

This has been going on since before you were born..

Yet between 2022 and 2023, more than 10% of Cuba's population (over 1 million people) left the island, with many heading to the U.S.

Imagine you live in a place where safety and security, natural environment, education, health, and living conditions are all rated pretty high.
Yet 10% of the population decides to leave, in 2 years ...

Cuba couldn't have been that nice of a place to live even before Trump.

access to health care

What does this mean? I can go to the emergency room right now and receive medical care.

America is evil

If you're saying acting in your own self interest is evil, then I'd agree with you.

The issue is that everyone does. So is everyone evil?

Perhaps, just perhaps Cuba is even more evil??

Yep. After all those years they should have found a way around those US sanctions.

They had, for decades they worked around them using the RoW. Even Israel supplied them.

The only thing that has changed is the threat of raising tariffs on Mexico and Venezuela if they supplied Cuba with fuel. This is why Maduro was "guarded" by Cuban Military.

The US has had a love hate with the Cubans since the commies over threw the democracy.
Cuba experienced a brief period of democracy from 1940 to 1952, characterized by competitive elections and multiple political parties. This democracy ended with a coup by Fulgencio Batista, leading to a long period of authoritarian rule until the Cuban Revolution established a communist government in 1959.

Its crazy to me that Lumpers will support Ukraine as a democracy and attacks by Putin, but when Cuba's democracy was violently overthrown you support the communists.

wild man, I had no idea Americans were so fickle.

So the question is do you support Democracy or Authoritarian Communism?

You really are an idiot if you believe numbers coming out of that shhthole state.

So where did you get your "FACTS"? Claiming people don't use FACTS, then people show you the facts, then you claim the FACTS are false.

You are clearly the idiot.

Only poor people come to the most expensive state in the union.

You aren't from California are you? You literally have no idea what is happening here.

Who gives a shht?

Unlike your fact free posts, I actually look up the information I post before posting it.

I doubt it.

California
Texas
New york
Florida

Would be my guess.

New York City's population grew by 87,000 between July 2023 and July 2024"

#29 | Posted by ClownShack

Same with California but the people that came in generate less tax revenue than those that leave.

You posted several articles about mass evacuations of NYC.

None have happened and raising taxes won't change that.

#14 | POSTED BY CLOWNSHACK

In a place like NYC where state + city taxes already push combined rates over 50% for millionaires. IRS migration data from 2021-2022 shows NY losing over 60,000 residents to Florida alone, with an estimated $4-5B in foregone revenue annually from out-migration. A deep dive into 2025 NYC data revealed the city's highest earners (top 0.1%) fleeing with $14B in gross income"directly tying it to tax pressures and remote work flexibility.

Its going to get worse...

You need to make sure brown and black people suffer.

So do you. ... I can't beleive you're so blind to your own racism with Talarico?

What the White media did to Crockett is a shame. Everyone knows it, only the intelligent can figure it out.

Without white superiority, you'd have nothing.

#20 | Posted by ClownShack

You're the same moron wanting Talarico. You can't even see yourself being played by the White Elite Democrats.

You use ethnicity as an excuse for your failures.

I use it for my successes.

If he can win Texas, he will one day make a good president.

You understand he's ran up the score in targeting White and Latino voters and the data shows that's how he won.

Talirico is a White elitist, surprised you don't know that Clownshack. I'd be leery of these White Elite Democrats also White Media types.

They ------ over a legitimate Black woman candidate, same way they ------ over Bernie in 2015/16.

Texas Democrat James Talarico, who argues that politicians are distracting voters with culture wars like pronouns and identity politics instead of addressing real economic issues like rising prices and the cost of living.

Same thing the Oneironaut has been saying for 5 years.
