All these negotiations are just a waste of time. Iran is doing just like what Putin does with Trump. They'll tell him whatever he wants to hear and then they don't do it and then we're back where we started.
...yet, Putin invaded Ukraine during the tenures of two Democrat presidents that sandwiched President Trump. Yes, Putin manipulates people...but not Trump.

I don’t even know if our allies respect us. There’s no way this improves US relations in the Middle East. I guess we’ll just be mowing the lawn here and there.
Really...considering all of the countries that were not involved that Iran attacked over the last four weeks?
And, as for Europe, they may not like him, but, in a crunch, they would come crawling back to the US.

My daughter's soon to be brother-in-law flied copters for the Special Forces...some cool crap.
Anyway, he oftentimes has the ability to lay out his own flight plan when heading to and from training in the US. Recently, he buzzed his sister's house in rural Tennessee and a few year's back he was going from Ft. Rucker to somewhere up the Atlantic Coast and tried to fly over a few college towns but, being a Saturday night with football going on, he couldn't. He then buzzed my soon-to-be son-in-laws camping spot in the middle of nowhere...using his spotlight and everything. Said it was a cool experience.
In summary...who cares.

Some of it is just Trump being Trump and some of it is by design. Either way, if we don't know what he is going to do, then that means he is successful in our enemies not knowing. This explains why Russia attacked Ukraine under Obama and Biden - NOT under Trump. With Trump, unlike Obama's "red lines" and Biden's "don't"; our enemies respect the US even if they don't like us/Trump.
re: How does the government know how many people are self deporting?
Posted by AUauditor on 4/1/26 at 11:54 am to weagle1999
I don't know how accurate the records are; however, it is my understanding that self-deporting illegals CAN apply for a free flight and a $1,000 (actually, it is $2600). So, it could be all that accepted that deal.

re: Ukrainian kickbacks to the Dems. If found to be true, and it appears to be, what to do?

Are you aware Russia/Iran are helping each other out while Ukraine provides interceptor drones to our gulf allies?
What does this have to do with the topic? The problem isn't that a country tried to mess with our election; the problem is that our Democrat government was going to allow it since it would have benefited them.

Bull crap...do you have evidence to support that?
Trump knew of Kharg Island and spoke of it almost 40 years ago.

Iran has been talking about shutting down the Strait of Hormuz for fifty years.
Even Biden and his handlers would have recognized this threat if they would have had the balls to do something like this that is world changing for the good, even if not politically great.

Name them please
- supporting terrorism around the world

- "death to America" "Big Satan"
---- desire for a nuclear weapon (including active work with no help from Obama)
---- desire for ballistic missles - proving last week they had made progress
---- sending assassins to America for Trump
- obtaining more support from Sunni-lead Muslim countries
- make getting oil/gas more difficult for China

I have constantly told my children not to drive when there is a chance of being over the limit, because, even when you are in the right and its not your fault, you will pay a price.

How does this result in anything but the people who would support us being wiped out?
One of the lessons we learned in Iraq was that we likely should have left the military intact and only taken out Saddam's secret police, like we are doing in Iran. A military who knows they could have been easily destroyed are more likely to be thankful and support what ever political leadership we allow to control the country as the oil assets.
It is my understand that the regular Army in both Iraq and Iran do not necessarily have the blood of citizens on their hands. Just a theory on my part.

In an oblique way, I am defending those in the military. They, like that IRGC commander who was trying to surrender, are sworn to obey. They don’t make the policy; they execute it.
Same thing the concentration camp guards who served in Poland and Germany said...before they were executed by civilized countries.

No - he is probably right. Trump said, "ok, our bases are closing and our troops are coming home"...and those countries replied with "how can we help?"

We manufacturing most of our products ourselves; however, the stuff we cannot make is bought primarily from Asia (used to be China) where they pay slave wages and are not concerned with all the damage to the ecology.
To make this in the US and following the laws, would cost way too much money. Some of our behomuth "competitors" make this product in the US, but is very little and done just to appease certain customers.
Either way, it is something the consumer wants and ignores the damage it does when there are different but better options.

I don’t believe politicians from either side of the aisle would give up income taxing the citizens, because they use income tax laws as a way to influence and control the populace, while destroying the nuclear family.

So you'd eliminate the step up AND still tax the overall inheritance?
Yes, once the assets become liquid, then tax the income. If we’re going to tax income, let’s tax income, even if a relative paid taxes on it once before.

Taxes aren’t low, it’s just strategy. When you have assets, you take out loans, you are now paying off debt, which isn’t taxed. It’s not like they are getting W2’s
And, when you die, your family gets a step up in basis on the collateral, the kids sell the assets, pay off the debt, and there is no tax consequence.
I don't mind the living off the borrowing; I do mind the step-up in basis on assets (e.g., land, stocks, etc.). Here is the funny thing. If you inherit your mom's IRA, you must immediately start taking the RMDs, and it is all taxable - granted, no early withdrawal penalty...yeh.
