Assuming what the rest of the world believes has no basis in fact. I've quoted with links other world leaders saying what Iran was doing was bad.
I am certain that the consensus was that Iran had a lot of 60% enriched uranium. I am certain no-one else was claiming that Iran was imminent or even "close" to obtaining a nuclear weapon. Although close is subjective - someone might argue years away is "close.
As for quoting politicians from around the world -- was that before or after the attacks last year (that was stated to have obliterated Iran's program)? And I can go quote you people from every country in the world who will tell you the holocaust wasn't real... doesn't make it true. I can quote you politicians from virtually any/every country in the world who will repeat and parrot Trump ... that doesn't make them or Trump right.
Suggesting someone's position is based out of them being scare of reality really doesn't warrant a reply other than to point out the absurdity and arrogance of such a statement.
Nations chanting Death to America is also not a reason to go to war.
As for pretending facts don't exist - you seem to be cherry picking and making up your own facts. Now you're trolling posters with comments about feeling sorry for them. . . . It does not seem like a good faith discussion. I mentioned we can disagree but instead of acknowledging that you want to create your own facts and call others scared if they do not share your thinking. Kudos to you. Way to win a debate.
Saying one is certain no one else was making any claim is bad logic. Do you know what every single person said? No. False certainty is anethema to me. You don't believe that anyone else was claiming Iran getting a nuke was imminent. That is no certainty.
Trump's bad statements don't disprove other facts. Holocaust deniers don't disprove other facts. Others repeating Trump doesn't make Trump right.
Yet, Iran has a ton (literally and figuratively) of HEU. Are you disputing that fact?
Dude, I'm "scared" of the reality. Giving fear as the potential reason for avoiding facts was giving the benefit of the doubt. I've seen the museums about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I know the regulations about handling the cooling water for nuclear reactors because of potential contamination due to the damage that can do, because I had to actually handle that as part of my job in the military. Actual highly enriched uranium being purposely dispersed is flat out terrifying.
Civilians at a protest chanting Death to America isn't a reason to go to war. Government officials chanting Death to America while their country is producing massive quantities of HEU against international law (both in exceeding limits and, later, in their ejecting/refusing inspectors) is something else.
PitDAWG was the one that used the feeling sorry line. I agree that doesn't seem like part of a good faith discussion.
Show one fact I made up. Your and Pit's not knowing something doesn't mean it's made up. Expressing certainty about things you couldn't possibly know (what everyone, everywhere has said) is the making up facts.
If Watson wins the starting spot, play him. He has been paid very well and is on the roster. If he is the best on the roster, make him earn some of the money he got. Shaduer would be the back=up, and Green can be #3. Sanders sitting and learning for another year would be beneficial to all. I don't think there is any scenario where Watson is resigned.
And the question could become, if Monkin doesn't develop some of that "1st round" talent will it be the fault of Monkin for not developing that talent or will it be the talking heads were wrong about their evaluations on some of those picks?
If you eliminate major costs you foresee while working, then things are simpler, so I agree. We have set up savings and investments every pay. We "practiced" budgeting before retirement while we only received one payday a month. We are comfortably set. More than that, we are happy with what we have; my wife is a blessing because we share priorities. The Shaker motto was good advice that smacks of Transcendentalism: "Simplify, simplify." Control what you can.
As I said earlier, simple is the name of the game, especially if you plan on doing most of it yourself. Leave the complicated to the people who can afford personal secretaries, a team of accountants, and lawyers. Complicated takes a mental toll if you plan to do it yourself.
888 keeps insisting tax payers don't pay anything for National Parks. Lies are lies even when one doesn't realize one is doing it.
I made an error which I am happy to accept and acknowledge - something most won't do on here. And if anyone was to keep a score of the lies and the misinformation that is spammed on these boards, then one group of posters win by a land slide and it isn't the guys who don't like Trump.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed charges against an ICE agent in connection with the January shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national, in Minneapolis.
Christian J. Castro, 52, is facing four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis
The backstory:
The ICE-involved shooting took place near the 600 block of 24th Avenue North just before 7 p.m. on Jan. 14.
Initial reporting detailed federal agents were pursuing a man in a vehicle who had crashed into a snowbank. The man then ran to a nearby home, where a pursuing agent caught up with him and attempted to make an arrest.
An "altercation" between the agent and suspect then ensued, which led to two other people arriving from a nearby apartment, and all three attacking the officer – one armed with a broomstick, according to DHS.
"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life," DHS initially claimed.
Julio Sosa-Celis, 24, a Venezuelan national, was taken to the hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, while Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, 26, was also arrested in its aftermath.
Both men were charged with assaulting a federal agent in the aftermath of the altercation, but the DOJ later requested the charges be dismissed with prejudice, writing in a motion that, "newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the complaint affidavit."
Big picture view:
The shooting occurred one week after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE officers and ten days before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers. ICE agents under federal investigation
Dig deeper:
The U.S. Attorney’s Office later opened a criminal investigation into two ICE officers after video evidence allegedly showed the agents’ sworn testimony included "untruthful statements."
Court filings filed after the shooting showed the ICE officers’ accounts of the moments leading up to the shooting differed significantly from testimony provided by the two defendants and multiple eyewitnesses.
SoS is based on the previous year's results (which itself takes into account it's own SoS), but each team has turned over as much as 25-35% of its roster and 30% of all teams have new head coaches, staffs, and systems.
So, it sounds good, but there really isn't much you can reliably take away from it. It's predicting this year's corn crop based on last year's tomatoes.
According to most on draft day, this guy was massively overdrafted, and supposedly not on any team's radar.
I think this just reinforces that most draftniks & sites just really don't know and that reality is disguised by the ability to pick a lot of low-hanging "no-brainer" fruit in drafts. That said, the same applies to all front offices as well, given how many misses there are each year.
They're making a guess on future performance in one system against higher quality talent based on past performances in other systems against decidedly lower talent.... sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you won't.
Maybe you can tell me what crimes they have been convicted of and how many felony counts they were found guilty of? I can show you 34 felony counts trump was convicted on. Let me guess. The fact trump was convicted on 34 felony counts is the fault of the democrats, right? Tell me how it was those evil dems who convicted him and not a jury. Or how it wasn't a jury who found he was libel for sexually assaulting a woman? Let me guess, you have a list of excuses for that one too? Tell me how every election trump or republicans win isn't rigged but every time a democrat wins an election you people claim it was rigged?
Or maybe you can explain this one though I know you will ignore it and just post more BS.... After Trump ordered the bombing on Iran's nuclear facilities in June of 2025 he proclaimed that they, "obliterated Iran's nuclear program setting it back several years if not decades." Then just eight months later he claimed that Iran was less than a month away from having a nuclear weapon. So which of those two times was he lying?
And let's not forget this one. On April 18th, 2026, President Trump claimed Iran "agreed to everything" in negotiations, including removing enriched uranium, ceasing proxy support, and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
Once again you prove that every accusation you make is just a confession. Do you call the fact I pointed out that trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts "hate"? Do you call me pointing out that trump made two opposite claims about Iran's nuclear program one of which has to be a lie hate? Because that's usually what you call it when we presented with the facts.
You have TDS. Trump devotion syndrome. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, no matter how many times he lies to you, you remain devoted to him.
