Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

But what did the US get out of all of this? I mean apart from a need to manufacture more weapons to replace the ones we expended.
If I wasn’t mistaken, it would appear that we are a bit worse off than before.
Incidentally, there are a lot of pedophiles in the Epstein files that need investigated. While we are at it, we should investigate the root cause of this Iran war and hold people accountable.
…bless my cotton socks. I know. A boy can dream, can’t he? Assuming, of course, the dreaming is still legal.
But what did the US get out of all of this?
Prevented Israeli intelligence from releasing the worst parts of the Epstein files for another day.
Also, Netanyahu delayed his trial for as long as possible. It's a win-win for both the American pedophiles and Bibi.
Also, Netanyahu delayed his trial for as long as possible.
That part explains why Netanyahu is using his blackmail material in this way.
Didn't you hear? The economy is stronger!
/s
People are spending so much money and accruing so much credit card debt on food and gas. That means the economy is booming, supposedly.
It's the elites who also benefited from insider trading of the stock market.
It could be an orchestrated escape plan so t-dog can say he didn't lose, he was told to leave.
Since Vietnam, America is always looking for excuses not to look like they lost, but still looked like they lost.
My first thought, it's his bone spurs letter again.
"Man, they would not let me fight, but I totally wanted to, and I would have won the whole war with one hand, damn darnit!!!"
Is it the same War Powers Resolution that a Democrat Co sponsor had to vote against last week so it wouldn't pass?
That was absolutely wild. Kind of showed us all that they're all in on it.
they’re all in on it
Or at least enough of them to block any progress.
And why are they in on it? They're in the files.
Not just those files, they are in the pockets of oligarchs.
Epstein wasn't the only Epstein. Plenty of other Epsteins out there that haven't been caught, or at least haven't been caught as publicly. Plenty of other intelligence agencies -- and privately funded oligarchs -- running honeytraps to gain blackmail material on the rich and powerful. And it's probably pretty rare to have any person in a significant position of influence who hasn't fallen for at least one of those traps and become compromised by someone.
It also showed us what head injuries do to your intelligence.
Can I just say how much I appreciate the choice of source? Bravo, OP!
