Since the balanced budgets from the Clinton/Gingrich era, neither side has cared very much about the deficit, especially lately. Once upon a time, I made the claim that the tax-and-spend Democrats were less iresponsible than the Borrow-and-Spend GOP but that was a long time ago and neither side seems to care at all lately. I used to be stunned how the economy hasn't tanked in light of all this deficit spending, one of the two major reasons I despised George W, Bushtard was how he inherited a balanced budget and blew it to pieces, in contrast to Obamacare which included a funding mechanism when the Dems passed it, but it's been a long, long time since either side has looked responsible on this issue.

She would strictly define the term 'women' to exclude transgendered people from participating. This, in turn, would disqualify herself from playing but resolve the issue.

It appears that Saints deleted that original post but you preserved what he said. I think pivoting off of calling it a war is stupid and sounds ridiculous. When I went off to war during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, the specter of Vietnam was over us. We thought we got off pretty lightly with 292 deaths, six of those from 2nd Armor Division (Forward), all six due to friendly fire. Itan's nuclear ambitions are seriously curtailed, hopefully permanently, their economy is seriously undermined and their ability to cause problems in the Strait gets weaker all the time, while more-and-more ships are able to get through. I think they're moving ships through at up to half of prewar levels at this point. Iran last sunk a vessel on May 13th, so it's been almost 4 months. To accomplish this much in a war, with a casualty count so low with only 18 deaths, is pretty remarkable. It's dragged on longer than I would have liked since he wanted to give them a chance to negotiate, but since the people he negotiates with have proven time and again and again and again and again to be incapable of controlling the drone and missile crews, I don't think he intends to waste time with them. His decision to not send in ground troops makes toppling the regime that much harder and securing the enriched uranium nearly impossible, but it's kept casualty numbers down and prevented us from getting bogged down in another eternal Bushtarded occupation. Meanwhile the economic sanctions are biting. Their proxies are being strangled. Overland routes that bypass the Strait are being set up. Whenever things let up, Iran will be greatly neutered and a shell of where they were when things began, meanwhile the Middle East will be a better and safer place. The worst thing is the gas prices are 33% higher than when the war started, which harms the economy and, also the help it gives the Democrats in the upcoming election. The risk too is about depleted ammunition supplies. Hopefully we learn a lesson on that and find ways to solve the logistics problems going forward. It's also been educational in planning for drone warfare going forward. Unfortunately, everyone else is learning those same lessons as well.

If she were to become commissioner, she would amend the rules to prevent people like her from playing.

She’s not the WNBA’s decision maker on what a woman is, so her opinion doesn’t matter. Her interpretation of the rules as written, and as clarified by a variety of high profile WNBA personalities is that they do include her.

She is signaling that she wants to be considered for the commission job, it can happen regardless of where she is in her transition process.

Well that's an interesting read and very enlightening. I can see how and why it all works.

Are these influencers getting paid by NYC taxpayers? The one guy was getting paid ... when he was doing work for Tom Steyer's campaign. It doesn't say Mamdani is paying him or not and if so, where the money is coming from.

Do you know how much he charges for his weight loss treatment? I wonder what my insurance deductible would be.

Well, that sucks. Israel should put more effort into reigning in these settlers because they're enflaming more tensions with the Palestinians and videos like this of Palestinians being treated cruelly that are being churned out regularly are causing them serious damage on the world stage.

She has the right enemies and she pisses off the right people, but even if her assessments ring true, she does it in a grating way and punches below the belt. These latest comments reaffirm the conclusion I reached about her earlier in the thread where I agreed with you. I don't know the backstory of all these women but Jumanji Jackson isn't ghetto at all. She grew up as an entitled rich white liberal in a black body, in a non-racist society, who saw the advantage one gets in leftwing circles by presenting as ghetto victim.

The side you are on is 100x worse than blackface and history will see it that way. Meanwhile, the junk pseudo-science that supports it is already collapsing and will take its place in history next to phrenology in our lifetime.

It sucks that we have another one of these. In these two lines.... dude was getting evicted and police have not confirmed a motive... I'm saying its a 99% chance that first point lead directly to the second but let them do the work first to confirm.

It seems all Mookz has to do now is hogtie Emilia Clarke and toss her in the trunk of his car.

The Cliff's Notes version is that it's good news mookz, so the middle line is what you tell jerry.
