    The American people deserve to know why the president is giving aid and comfort to a child sex trafficker 

    So you are saying it's ok for Trump to give aid and comfort to a convicted child sex trafficker because of Biden something, something? 

     

    That's some screwed up "logic" 

     

    Kind of sickening, really 

    He's dead, right? How do you give comfort and aid to a dead man?

    Westinghouse is owned by a joint venture of Brookfield Asset Management and uranium producer Cameco. Both Canadian entities. Work will not start until 2030.

     

    Per the Washington Post -


    The partnership is designed with “profit sharing mechanisms” that provide U.S. taxpayers returns “once certain thresholds are met,” according to the announcement.

    Under the agreement, after the U.S. government signs final contracts for the construction of at least $80 billion in Westinghouse reactors, it would be entitled to receive 20 percent of Westinghouse returns in excess of $17.5 billion.

     

    The U.S. could also require Westinghouse to go public if the company’s valuation surpasses $30 billion. If it does go public, U.S. taxpayers would be entitled to a 20 percent equity stake in the company, according details released by Brookfield"

     

    Its common in the resource sector, uranium is one product, to use royalty arrangements for cash up front to be paid thought future income streams. I assume somebody familiar with those arrangements advised the government. I don't see anything wrong with this type of arrangement.

    don't let facts get in the way of a perfectly good rant

    makes no sense broseph

     

    if price is the problem then you should be strongly against this. It will make prices even higher as more people foolishly stretch their budgets in the home buyer market for these lifetime loans 

     

     

    Not sure price is the problem. Price is the reality. Simple supple vs demand.

     

    You want to bring prices down, build more houses.

    I'm an open-minded guy but, objectively, I don't.  I just don't get this one.  It looks to me like Trump is playing favorites with a friendly leader.  Their worthless pesos aren't going to help with SNAP/health care here.  

    Without any doubt whatsoever, it's buying the favor of Milei. A few things though, it is a currency swap, and not simply free money. The World and other international banking entities may be participating in this swap. Second, Argentina has a significant amount of critical minerals and China is on their doorstep. That, in and of itself, is significant factor. Third, the funding is contingent on Milei's conservative party winning the midterms. This is also important so that Milei stays in control before any swap happens. So, agree or disagree with this, I at least understand it.

    I could see a few more Dolphin players being dealt before the deadline. I kind of expect them to look shell shocked and disinterested Sunday.

    On the other hand, we could be facing a bunch of guys trying their damndest to make it on a roster.

     

    Let's just not overlook 'em

    one guy orders heavily armed military operations in American cities and against citizens.  One doesn't.  That's enough for me to decide.

    Heavily armed? I guess from the sense that they've got bulletproof shyt on from head to toe. Otherwise, most of what they're doing is dragging purple hair white folks out of the middle of the road.

    ensuring that no Americans starve is everyones responsibility.  We can focus on enabling self sufficiency simultaneously.  but children, the elderly and the disabled who make up the majority of snap recipients are unlikely to ever be self sufficient.

    That's why it bothers me that we are giving so much to non Americans

    when you grow up and have children you will understand. 
     

    There is a moral line, yeah I wouldn’t commit murder or rob a bank for my kids.
     

    But man made borders? They are imaginary and not a concern in the good moral book I follow 


    That would be the solution yeah but no one is really trying that 

    Is your front door a man made border?

    I don’t think your hypothetical example is relevant. They are talking about anchor babies, when a child is born here they simply get the same privileges I do, they aren’t taking anything away from me 

    The govt pie is only so big. Of course there is a dynamic of when you increase the number of takers it changes a whole lot of things. It has to. It's simple math.

    As of late 2025, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of children have died as a result of a suspension of U.S. foreign aid, with projections indicating that the total number of child deaths could reach millions in the coming years if the cuts are not reversed.  

     

    Who cares.  They aren't American.  Jesus would be proud.  

    I sent my donation to Catholic Charities last month. What have you done?

     

    You want to take my money, making me send even more?
