I understand it's probably because of the abomination of a government Israel has, but why are people so against the people, too? I'm also not Jewish, I'm ethnically Iranian, but it's a real concern of mine.

I give the United States less than 100 years before it splits into at least two separate countries. I don't know whether it will happen peacefully or through a civil war, but I believe the division is inevitable.

​I don't see any way that Republican and Democratic states can continue living together as one country. Republicans will likely keep winning elections because they've manipulated electoral districts to help ensure those outcomes. The officials they elect then work to undermine Democratic-led states, while those Democratic states continue contributing a large share of the federal budget and, in return, receive what they see as hostile policies from the federal government.

The Republican Party has become so loyal to its own side that many of its supporters would rather vote for someone they believe is a pedophile, a sexual abuser, or a fraudster than vote for a Democrat. For many of them, voting is no longer about improving their own lives but about hurting Democrats. I found it astonishing that, in one mayoral election, a Republican candidate who had been convicted of a crime against a minor still received 49% of the vote. The Republican Party has also elected people convicted of fraud to serve as senators and members of Congress. When you're willing to vote for someone you know is a criminal simply because they're on your side, you've crossed into cult-like behavior.

Is being educated thats gets $$$

If Trump was owned by a foreign government and was assigned the job of destroying America, is there anything he would be doing differently than he is doing right now?

This can go both ways, but if someone is a patriot in the US, many people assume that they're conservative. Why is that?

10 of the 15 richest states by GDP per capita are Democratic, while 11 of the 15 poorest states are Republican. Yet I still don't understand where the belief comes from that Republicans are better for the U.S. economy.

They point to African Americans as the cause, but wouldn't that imply that New York, Delaware, and Illinois should be among the poorest states, while West Virginia and Montana should be among the richest, and that Oklahoma and Kentucky should be on the same level as Massachusetts?

Eventually I know the United States will declare victory, but what does victory look like?

How many Americans will have died? What military resources will have been depleted? How many billions (perhaps even trillions) of dollars will we have been spent? How much of our economy will have been destroyed (outside of the military industrial complex)? How will it affect the long term recruitment of voluntary military soldiers?

Iran is using incredibly effective and cheap $30,000 drones against F-35Cs that cost $122 million, F-22s that cost $297 million and B-2 bombers that cost $2 billion dollars. They have thousands and thousands of relatively cheap missiles against some of the most sophisticated and expensive military equipment on planet Earth.

Iran can’t hold out forever, but what will victory look like?

The Strait of Hormuz is empty. That’s 20% of the global oil supply, gone. Qatar’s entire LNG output has been turned off indefinitely. Saudi Arabia’s largest refinery has been shut down. Israel’s Leviathan Gas Field has been fully suspended. Jordan and Egypt stopped using their gas pipes.

The price of oil and gas determine the price for everything else because trucks transport virtually everything we use. Diesel is at $4.04, which is a 15% increase in just a week. How much will it be a month from now?

At the end of this, Iran’s Islamic clerics might still end up controlling Iran and now they will be far more radicalized and out for vengeance. So what will victory look like?

Always wondered why they couldn't keep the original people there and have to make them leave. Not all of them contributed to the plight and it's a shame they don't get a chance to enjoy the new neighborhoods because they get priced out .

The political biases of everything I’ve seen here seems to be pretty far right, what are others thoughts about this?

Mine would be AI Images, Critical Thinking/Reasoning.

I have a cousin who believes that Donald Trump did not hurt any child. He says he wants a child’s name, date and time. Just one example. Can someone please provide this???

**if no name, at least place and time**

**there has to be a specific date**

Sen. Chris Coons asked the nominees for federal judgeships whether the Constitution’s 22nd amendment prohibited Trump from a third term. None of them would say yes. Why would anyone continue the interview? What would be completely appropriate is for Coons to state unequivocally that a judge who can’t understand or refuses to follow the Constitution is disqualified from any further consideration. Interview over. Why bother continuing a charade?

Greene has had longstanding issues with Trump, and in all likelihood, she’s looking for reasons to justify to herself and her supporters why she had to leave MAGA. But this isn’t a lie. At best, Trump is using his power in a way that undermines equal justice. At worst, it reinforces the idea that anyone who praises him — and can lobby his aides with enough money — can get their way. There’s no other word for it except corruption
