    Twitter stock as well as Tesla stock have been on a slide since the agreement was announced.

    Twitter is currently trading at $48.32 while the agreed deal is for $54.20 per share. That to me says there are a lot of people who doubt this deal will close.

    After  bullshit Musk has announced before, why would anyone believe what he says? And don't forget the annual "fully-autonomous Autopilot coming next year" announcement he makes every year.

    Hi Tim,

    Her feet will never touch the floor in my kitchen.

    And, 'barely' is questionable.

    If I was castaway on an uninhabited island, and I had my choice of companions:

    a) MTG.

    b) "Wilson" the volleyball.

    I would be forced to choose "b", just for the more intelligent conversation.

    trump social seems to be having problems. It goes offline for hours at a time for no reason.

    How would anyone notice? I've read that Trump hasn't even posted to it since the first day it went online.

    I thought there was another thread about these idiots, but I can't seem to find it.

    There's a bunch of them camped out near DC.

    Because they are idiots who refuse to obey the rules, they have some problems.
    Some of the 'convoyeurs' have dogs. They let the dogs run loose. The dogs pee on things...

    Like the food supply.

    I have no problem with that;

    Now if they were peeing on my rug, that would be different!

  9. Here is an interesting 5m trivia video on how a neutral nation got around the touchy issue of supplying military aircraft to combatants in WWII:

     

  10. Alex Jones Reaches Out to Justice Dept. About Jan. 6 Interview

    Alex Jones, the host of the conspiracy-driven media outlet Infowars and a key player in the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” movement, is in discussions with the Justice Department about an agreement to detail his role in the rally near the White House last Jan. 6 that preceded the attack on the Capitol.

    But could they even believe anything he has to say?

    That the US had no problem invoking it when they were attacked, even if all member nations didn't yet spend 2% of their GDP on the military, but that the US would not help other NATO members if they needed it if those member nations didn't spend 2% of their GDP.

    Which was at odds with his other statement that NATO was obsolete. There is little doubt in my mind that Trump would have withdrawn from NATO during a second term.

    What??? Trump rebuilt NATO! He told us all about it:

    The fear of every German general in WW 2 was a posting to the Russian front. Today the fear of every Russian general is a posting to the Ukrainian front.

    Interesting backgrounds on those actors:

    Werner "Col Klink" Klemperer: Father was Jewish, mother was Lutheran. Family moved from Germany to USA in 1933, when he was 13yo. He served in the US Army in WWII.

    John "Sgt Schultz" Banner: Born to Jewish parents in Austria-Hungary. Moved to USA in 1938 at 28yo. Served in US Army Air Forces in WWII and became an actual Sgt.

    But the most interesting of the cast was Robert "Corporal LeBeau" Clary, who was an actual Holocaust survivor:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Clary

    Hi Joe,

    Re:  we need to beat those bastards

    From the news, Biden's latest support package includes helicopters.  I am only hoping that fighter jets will be next.

    It is hard for me to accept Biden's argument that supplying fighter jets would bring WW III yet still send other types of aircraft.

    I'll take it as every bit helps.

    Agreed.  Even the fact that Trump spent time and energy lying about his new beautiful "health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan" (which he did no fewer than 22 times) indicates that the right knows that they have to take this seriously, even only to lie about it.

    Can't wait to see it!

    "Mayday, mayday, mayday. This is the Russian cruiser Moskva. We are sinking. WE ARE SINKING".

    "This is the Ukrainian coastguard. What are you sinking about?"

    I saw that posted on Twitter today. It took me a bit to remember the origin:

    Don't forget insurance companies. They'll all be radically reduced with universal health care.

    Health care without corporate middlemen taking a cut??? Why that would be un-American!

    Its unknown when his all expense paid trip to visit President Putin in Russia will take place. Its also unknown if President Putin will award Carlson with the Hero of the Russian Federation Medal. Which for foreigners automatically entities them to Russian citizenship.

    Tucker and Steven Seagal would be perfect roommates!
