Who's gonna do anything about it? Iran? Are they gonna "retaliate" again? (oh no!)

What's bizarre is the American policy of taxing its citizens overseas. Only 1 other country does that.. Eritrea I'm glad Trump actually cares about my freedom, since apparently u don't

I don't know why Israel doesn't just bulldoze the rest of Gaza. They could 1000% get away with it

For those few Americans who work and/or live overseas, or desire to, this is absolutely huge. It opens up the possibility to work in Dubai for example and pay virtually no taxes, which is not possible today as an American. And while you may say, accurately, that this doesn't help 99.9% of the rest of Americans, I think it just means that Trump deserves even more credit for pushing this forward. Never in my life would I have thought this policy may be reversed, for the exact reason that only 0.1% of Americans even care about it. Who's gonna protect the interests of the 0.1% minority? Trump, apparently. So yea, this is actually huge and if he manages to follow through on this promise (an equally huge IF), it will make his entire Presidency worth it.

That professor should thank his lucky socks he didn't get someone like me when asked about cops. I would've derailed the entire discussion.

Oh FFS. A strange thing can happen when a person stands up publicly for what's right. Other people see them doing it and some of them, not all certainly but some, are encouraged to do something similar and stand up themselves. Yet other people see this and some of them are similarly encouraged and act similarly, and this ripple effect continues on throughout the population. This can happen even when you’re standing against strong opposition, or worse, against seemingly insurmountable odds. In fact sometimes that increases the effect. When you do it from an EXTREMELY high profile position like the presidency, it gives you the opportunity to potentially increase the effect by many orders of magnitude. At the very least, standing up for what’s right encourages those who are already striving for the right to continue on regardless of the apparent odds. And this in itself is totally worthwhile and worth doing, even if it's all you accomplish. It IS NOT mere virtue signalling.

I'll ask him if it's ok to pass along.

Fuck fucking you, I'm just trying to help some people. Get out of my thread, you fucking asshole.

OMG WHERE

Apparently in Australia if you turn down a pre-trial settlement, you can be liable for the losing party's legal costs even if you win. Kind of ridiculous. https://lawright.org.au/legal-information/alternative-dispute-resolution-and-mediation/alternative-dispute-resolution-offers-to-settle/

The free movement of people also provably drives down US salaries. Just gonna add that to the list.

It also sets back the advancement of manufacturing technology, by relying on temporary labor cost advantages instead of automation advantages. And when those temporary labor cost advantages do eventually disappear, it is our foreign trading partners who will be in possession of the factories and technology. It will then take decades and enormous costs to catch up. But whatever, let's save a few cents on the dollar to jeopardize our future, cus free trade is obviously good and anyone who says otherwise is an enemy of liberty.

No where near as strong as forecast. Look at the coastline where it has cleared out. Most of the lights are still on. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=se&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12

I don't know who wrote this garbage but you can throw it in the bin.

There is absolutely nothing morally wrong with closing off your borders and wanting to be left alone. Such claim is globalist propaganda bullshit. You can argue whether its good or bad for an economy but to say its morally wrong is an absolutely false thing to say. That's like saying it's morally wrong to go live out in the woods because you just want to be left the fuck alone.

It homogenizes people, sure. And a homogenized people are less likely to go to war with each other, sure. A homogenized world also makes it about 1000x easier to implement a one world government, so there's that.

I've been out of school for 32 years and I still remember how difficult it was to ignore, and how plainly obvious the whole scam was. This was in a "great" school district. If I had been compelled to deal with this sort of shit... well, my parents were thankfully smart enough to realize when something with me was simply never gonna work, so they probably would have "rewarded" me with private school... But I have to repeat that I vividly remember having a conversation about Columbine with a bunch of other 25 year olds in late 1999 and the consensus was "you know, it never occurred to us to do something like that... and the fact that it never occurred to us is definitely the only reason it never happened before now". Given how clown world the whole thing has gotten, I think the frequency of occurrence is drastically low.

He’d probably have sided with Hamilton who eas calling for the hrshest penalties including summary execution. Big Brother is wise. Big Brother is good. We should all love Big Brother.

Maybe a cigar...maybe.
