Just a suggestion, if you're referring to the Gemini response. Avoid using Gemini as it will agree with lies, and will even hallucinate trying to support the lie. This has been studied recently and appears to be the case.

Sounds like the Santa Clara Sheriff's office, only they got off.

But Biden isn't President anymore.

But you defended Biden, and now you're complaining about Trump.

Talk about a hack. My stance has been consistent throughout, America's strangulation of Russia began as NATO moved EAST.

Bush Obama, and Biden have all contributed to Russia's worry about NATO. Why not just expand the EU?

Instead you want to put Nukes in the Russian equivalent to Cuba.

Actually, Republicans (you) spent the time doing everything they could to limit his ability to do anything about it.

So when is Trump going to tell Putin to GTFO of Ukraine?
#15 | Posted by Whatsleft

Just curious, how would the death and destruction, the stalemate and end the war? Might have helped before the war, it America had shown some resolve, and actually had a living President. Instead Weekend with Biden was in full swing, worried about White Supremacists.

See he could feel that, and believe its best to do, but he, like Biden before him doesn't and can't control Russia.

Why are Americans so nationalistic as to think the world responds to their threats any longer? The world has caught on, American foreign policy is a disaster every 4 -8ys it changes. Not good or bad, it just changes, so just wait out the change. Or strike when the iron is hot, which is what Putin did.

Prove it. You keep making statements which have no basis.

Oh please, its the reason the CCP is committing genocide in Xinjiang. Islam is intolerant of just about everything the West thinks is good.

They're already in the Arab world

This is false Israel, Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt are all mediterranean countries.

Why do I have to do it again?

No kidding, why do you need to show id to TSA every ------- time I fly, I fill all that out online FFS, its preposterous.

Same with the few times I buy wine for a dinner party, why should I have to show my ID YET again!!

He's being persecuted for having a differing opinion!

and ...

he was found with explosive devices in a backpack near the embassy.

Let me guess, in your opinion the US shouldn't arrest him until after the explosive device went off. Then blame the explosives!

Your solution make it a non-explosive zone!!

And this is why Democrats lost the election #423284

Maybe you never valued diversity.

So much to learn.

With your inability to grasp even the most obvious of statements, Good Luck!

I don't think the inverse square law works in space?
#2 | POSTED BY REDIAL

It does, you just don't understand the law. Inverse square law just implies that as the light (many photons) spreads out over a larger area, and the same amount of energy is distributed across that area, resulting in a reduction of intensity.

What Cristina is discussing is a single photon, which makes sense as the photons "spread" out over distance (light) the intensity is decreases but energy is the same. But the photon doesn't lose energy, just the distance between photons is greater thus the intensity decreases.

Are Democrats Dysfunctional Or Just Disagreeing?

Dysfunctional we haven't had a valid Democratic primary since Obama.

Learned a new term, I didn't know about Russia under the Soviet Union.

Politburo, thats what the US had under Biden, a Politburo.

During the Depression, inflation was negative.

The US government could prevent foreign ownership of our land by passing a bill. Many other countries have already curbed such foreign investment. Why don't the Republicans do that?

#25 | Posted by Whatsleft

Just more xenophobia. I own my home, you're claiming I should own my home?
Ridiculous.

They play for the same team and we're not on their team.

WTF are you talking about?

Fair enough, but tariffs will also serve to balance trade.

Please explain, because this makes zero sense, also why is "unabated" gov't spending a good thing?
#20 | POSTED BY ITCHYP

Imagine the trade deficit is 0. Now all the government spending/debt creation now has to stay IN the country. Given its printing money via Bond sales to foreign entities, This will cause inflation internally, also who would buy the treasuries now?
The beauty of the trade deficit is it allow the US to EXPORT dollars to other countries and IMPORT goods, alleviating some of the pressure of inflation internally.

Now lets say the trade deficit continues to increase, this allows the government to increase spending without concern about inflation because those dollars are exported.
The big issue is foreign countries using their USD in the US (buying land, treasuries etcetc), then the US would see inflation funded by the trade deficit, but typically they can't spend all the dollars as they need some to manufacture goods.
All those countries in your list had to do something with the profits, so they convert to US treasuries.

The US Government survives because the US IMPORTS goods and EXPORTS dollars. If it couldn't export the dollars there would be huge inflation as government spending is out of control, and no one to buy the bonds except at super high interest rates.

Tariffs also are targeted taxation, meaning some industries won't be affected by the Tax. Thats the best.

Madness...is it Contagious?

If the cops/laws aren't enforced it will spread.

About 58.7 million adults had a mental illness in 2023

BS this is a made up diagnosis to get federal dollars.

Maybe 1 in 100 have a real mental illness.

Overall suicide rates in the US have increased

All because Harvard didn't admit Baron.

This is the logic why Democrats lose elections.

already ruled as unconstitutional.
#39 | POSTED BY ALEXANDRITE

Ruled? By whom.

I know Harvard declared it unconstitutional, all the Judge did is prevent the enforcement of Trump edict.

The Trump administration isn't doing this out of the blue, they have asked for information from Harvard, and Harvard hasn't complied.
So this is the twisting of the arm. idk if its unconstitutional, but this is similar to the Jones University case and ObamaCare, IMO.

That was a lot of money back then... but the Nazis and the Peros were pikers compared to Trump.

I raise your whataboutism with a fact

Biden Hold my beer:

After Biden lost, the 76-day period, between Bidens loss, and Trumps inauguration, the Department of Energy Loan Program Office in Loans and Commitments passed out $93 billion. Well over twice as much as in the previous 15 years.

And get this many of the "companies" had no business plan and no financials.

So let me get this straight.

The father of the Jewish couples killer was the Democrats honored guest at Trumps congressional address in March?

FFS Lumpers ignore a kid with cancer and bring the father of a killer, and people here claiming the Right Wingers are the issue?

America is getting crazier and crazier by the day.

Gotta hand it to Republicans. They're really good at driving public opinion.
#5 | POSTED BY CLOWNSHACK

Well Democrats are good at brain washing their followers. Just look at how long Biden was able to snooker Lumpers.

I find it interesting the narrative of the White Supremacist is an existential threat to the country, when I can't think of one crime in the last month, year, they have committed in the name of White Supremacy.

Yet, most every mass shooting/stabbing/ now days is connected to some liberal/woke/progressive lumper ideological mentality.

#14 | POSTED BY ITCHYP

Brings up some interesting points.

But has ItchyMyStrap thought about what happens if the trade deficit balance is 0?

The US would be hit with inflation levels the Depression would envy.

Thats the rub, without the trade deficit, government spending can't go on unabated.

At what point would China decide to call-in?
