Two days later a Russian pro-war blogger made a big mistake by posting about Russian losses in the taking of Avdiivka last Monday. He posted that Russia had lost 16,000 men and 300 armored vehicles. He immediately started receiving threats from the Russian military command and Kremlin propagandists. He took down the postings right away. But fell out of a window anyway a day later. trump upon hearing that Putin had eliminated three traitors and critics in one week. Threw a Big Mac against the wall and blamed Biden for how Putin was now stronger than him.

Conservatives will cheer that they both exercised their rights to self defense.After all 185 dead residents of Kansas city can testify to the justice of guns in 2023 alone Last year in Denver when Nuggets fans celebrated the NBA championship win. Twenty rounds were fired, ten wounded and five guns seized after the shootout

For the uninitiated: Jay Leno's Rolls-Royce Packs a 27-Liter V-12 From a WWII Fighter Plane

Agree, radial engines all the way. Perhaps a background seven channel stereo in every vehicle with a radial starting up. A Beechcraft 18, 450 hp pratt for the economy cars. A Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp in real cars.

trump has claimed forever that his brand has value. Brand equity or goodwill so to speak. Two recent studies of NYC real estate show that buildings with trump's name on them or associated with the trump brand. Show drops in value between 17 and 25% as compared with other similar properties. For buildings where the trump name was removed. They rebounded in value to their comparable peers. So when trump enterprises goes looking for cash under its new court appointed overseer. To pay off judgements or to post bonds for those same judgements. It has a tough real estate market and trump specific depressed values to deal with.

and in bad taste. But trump does know his market.

The latest from the trump enterprise marketing arm is trump sneakers, for only $399 Also available is "Victory47" perfume and cologne for sale at $99 each No word yet if an installment plan is available for their purchase. There is a strict limit of 3 pair per order.

Justice Department Transfers Approximately $500,000 in Forfeited Russian Funds to Estonia for Benefit of Ukraine Its started already. The US needs to lead in order to keep Russia from going after smaller countries.. Putin's yacht has been sitting around in San Diego for a year and a half now. Its scheduled to go into a dry-dock for maintenance. All at taxpayers expense. It should have been sold long ago.

Western countries need to implement "Navalny" acts in all their statutes. Seizing Russian money, yachts, etc. and turning the over $300 billion over to Ukraine.

Or why drunk drivers can't win the same argument with the cops who stop them. "Well nobody was hurt and I'm home now".

The judgement today doesn't include pre-judgement interest According to FOX news there are no victims anywhere. So why are the weaponized DOJ's everywhere, attacking trump? In other news the SEC approved yesterday the "two-year-old planned merger to take the former president’s media venture public, according to the companies behind the deal, Trump Media & Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp.", i.e. Truth Social. Insiders in this deal had to pay fines already of $18 million for insider trading. But the SEC approved it anyway. In the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2023, Trump Media lost $26 million. "Trump the combined company’s largest investor with more than 78 million shares, could mean he would hold as much as 69 percent of the outstanding stock". For skilled scammers like the trump mob family as one door closes, one opens.

Female, White, billionaire, a brain and with millions of fans. Its no wonder republicans feel threatened. Setting aside the whole NFL thing of course.

My new cable provider added FOX. So yesterday at the same time every news channel was covering the E. Jean Carroll verdict. On FOX not a peep. Instead it was the invasion of cartel members, criminals, insane asylum residents. All being kept out of Texas by razor wire. They didn't provide pictures of Biden but he was hiding around every corner. Today a "writer and author" rented a EV to take a 160 mile trip in California. Car ran out of power and had to be abandoned. At the last report of the FOX "journalist reporters" the rental car was still abandoned on the side of a rad because there are no charging stations to be found. Once again Biden was responsible for the hills and distances within California. Sorry Wendy I don't think negotiations with the new GOP is possible.

The Roman government was one of the earliest examples of democracy. Corruption, factional disputes, economic decline eventually led to authoritarian governments. Appointing judges to protect insiders became commonplace.. "The Roman advocate and politician Marcus Tullius Cicero noted three sources for this corruption: personal favoritism, the influence of the powerful, and bribery" "Cicero's Conclusions Secondly, he outlined four basic principles of natural justice that societies ought to follow: not to attack others physically without reason; to respect both private and common property; to stick to our promises; and to be kind and generous towards others within our means." The founding fathers of the US constitution used to believe in these ideals also. Then along came MAGA ideals, tumpionian ideals. i.e. that society should protect the elite, enrich the elite, never criticize the elite. The recent resignation of the GOP Arizona president because of a tape recorded conversation with Kari Lake and his attempt to bribe her. Is a prime example. America had a good run while it lasted. Insiders made untold billions. Trillions were directed from the average person into the pockets of the powerful. Perhaps persuading the upcoming trump government to build a northern border wall is a good idea.

"Many Norwegians rejected on Friday a suggestion by U.S. President Donald Trump that they would be more welcome to move to the United States than immigrants from "shithole countries" such as Haiti or African nations. The Nordic country, one of the richest in the world by GDP per capita, was last year named the happiest nation on the planet and is known for a cradle-to-grave welfare state" Norway has just been rocked by a political scandal as well. A Norwegian minister was forced to resign because of.....wait.....plagiarism. The horror, the horror. Meanwhile in the US the ex president calls for SEAL team six and political retribution.

IMO its within the context of trump's lead in this discussion whereby he stated in a court motion that he had the authority to kill political rivals. Or at least his lawyers did referring to SEAL team 6 killing domestic political opponents. I don't know if anyone else caught it but he just threatened to even the score with any firm that donates money to Nikki Haley's campaign. .Every day his behavior gets worse and every day his lap dogs do, what lap dogs do.

Why wait?

Isn't that part and parcel of what democrats should expect if they choose to live in Florida?

Is it just me or is the midwinter blahs leading to more pissing contests?

Also why Israel left Lebanon in 2000 after its war and occupation of south Lebanon.

Yes, its only a matter of time until Iran has its nuclear weapons at hand. No doubt with some Russian help for the quid pro quo of Iranian drones. Just as Russia helped North Korea with missile technology for its artillery ammo supplies. A good time to be geographically removed from the hot spots and behind a NATO shield.

Agree. "War is the continuation of policy with other means." Was originally penned by Carl von Clausewitz a Prussian philosopher/general. He started his military career at 12 years old. The world has enjoyed a "peace dividend" more or less since WW 2. Now it seems as if military adventurism and the might of the sword. Are tossing aside the lives and peace of civilians.

I took it as a reference to the days when a overwhelming superiority in weaponry. Resulted in a clear superiority in how political disputes were dealt with. Today you have a raggedy band of backward flip flop wearing tribesmen. Possessing weapons provided by a sponsor to do their political bidding. That are as modern as what the best of the west has. Iran has exported MARV ballistic missiles, very advanced drones, etc. To these same tribesmen and trained them to use them.

Only James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, and Donald Trump did not have any presidential pets while in office. A playboy pet is trump's type.

Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome.
