CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

True, I guess. I did pull in massive money from that. It was a total game changer for me.

What is the proper amount we should be investing in nationwide infrastructure?
Which was what?
What did the infrastructure bill that was passed with bipartisan support promise to do and failed to achieve?

The man who you are insulting is responsible for stopping 7 wars between nations. Perhaps the leaders of your own nation could learn something from him.

He needs to try to convince you that he's done something right. But for heaven's sake don't look too closely at what he's claimed. But I'll tell you what he deserves. He deserves to be held to account for bringing into the office of the President of the United States into disrepute.
By his deeds, his words, his acts...he shows nothing that couldn't be summarised by that one word: Petty.

By Trump's words, deeds, and actions, President Trump has completely demonstrated that he is the very best President the USA has had since President Reagan. Perhaps the leaders of your own country should learn from President Donald Trump.

To save you the time looking for the details, and as you have brought the subject up...
India Pakistan: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/18/modi-trump-india-pakistan-ceasefire.html
During a Tuesday phone call between the two leaders, Modi “clearly conveyed” to Trump that the U.S. played no role in the mediation between India and Pakistan and denied any discussion of a trade deal, said Misri.
Israel Iran: Whether he was correct in bombing Iran is a matter that could be endlessly discussed.
Congo Rwanda: Peace efforts stall as violence escalates in Eastern DRC | Africanews
Despite recent diplomatic efforts, violence continues to escalate in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where thousands have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced, the United Nations warns.
Thailand Cambodia: Thai-Cambodia ceasefire: ‘Rare diplomatic success’ due to Anwar, ASEAN and US pressure
On Monday, Thai Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet agreed to an unconditional ceasefire after talks in Putrajaya chaired by Anwar, who is this year’s ASEAN chair.
Armenia Azerbaijan: MSN
The President, who is currently visiting the UK, not only mispronounced "Azerbaijan," but also claimed to have had a hand in ending the war between "Azerbaijan and Albania." The president presumably meant to say Armenia.
And here: Armenia and Azerbaijan agree treaty terms to end almost 40 years of conflict
Peace talks began after Azerbaijan retook Karabakh by force in September 2023, prompting almost all of the territory’s 100,000 Armenians to flee to Armenia. Most now live in Armenia as refugees.
Both sides had said they wanted to sign a treaty to end the long-running conflict, but progress has been slow and relations tense.
Kosovo Serbia: Kosovo calls for international pressure on Serbia over deadly 2023 gunfight
Kosovo's acting prime minister on Wednesday called on the international community not to consider Serbia a normal state until it hands over those responsible for a deadly incursion by heavily armed Serb gunmen in 2023. Albin Kurti visited the grave of Afrim Bunjaku, a police officer shot dead in the gunfight in Banjska. The attack also left three Serb gunmen dead.
Allow me to summarise:
India Pakistan: One country is adamant that the US had nothing to do with the ceasefire.
Israel Iran: Granted that US strikes brought an end to the conflict.
Congo Rwanda: The violence simply hasn't ended. The war is not over.
Thailand Cambodia: The deal for a ceasefire was primarily brokered by Malaysia's Anwar. The US were involved.
Armenia Azerbaijan: Trump couldn't even remember the name of one of the countries. And the two countries had agreed terms well before they went to the White House for a photo Op.
Kosovo Serbia: There was no war. Tensions between the two nations? Yes. Some people killed? I guess no more than you'd expect in a US city.
The major conflicts?
Israel Gaza: Trump has done nothing to end the bloodshed.
Ukraine Russia: Promised to end it even before he was sworn in. Has failed miserably.

I remember an article during the Obama administration who pushed a similar infrastructure bill. Apparently the study showed that more money was spent on signage and advertising to brag about how "because of Obama, this road was fixed" than it actually cost to fix said road. Biden's "Build Back Better" was no different. Only this time, nobody knows where the money went.

I didn't get any hits when searching for the phrase "because of Obama, this road was fixed", you don't happen to have the study at hand? Because, it sounds like that there might some caveats that needs to be highlighted.
Was it the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act? That doesn't seem to have been a major failure (Eight Years Later: What the Recovery Act Taught Us about Investing in Transportation | Brookings).
