  1. A minor technicality like that wouldn't even slow Trump down.
  2. By now, the 'true market value' (if there is such an animal) of at least Trump's NYC properties must be known to the relevant courts. I wonder if they have potential buyers lined up - or if there have been any serious inquiries. That said, I agree that Trump is almost certainly on the hook to a (hostile) foreign power for the one bond and will be again should the money for the other miraculously appear in the next few days. Trump loses the relevant appeals and the presidential election...
  3. Could Trump take that kind of hit - I am assuming asset forfeiture -and still remain viable. Or even 'rich?'
  4. If these Russian oil refineries keep getting bombed, then that could cripple Russia's entire economy - and their war effort.
  5. I have to wonder... Will these Russian Rebels be able to take Belgorod? And what will Putin's reaction be should they do so? Also, I wonder if the Russian Rebels are actively recruiting on Russian soil, and if so, how much that will swell their ranks. If this starts to snowball...
  6. More and more, I suspect the polls showing Trump ahead of Biden are manipulated somehow - a suspicion reinforced by Trump putting up altered/fake mainstream media articles on his site.
  7. All those artillery shells going off in relatively small areas - those areas are likely to be 'dead zones' for decades. Maybe longer...
  8. Looks like Ukraine aid might sneak through Congress after all - though it might cost the current speaker his job: House Republicans will pass Ukraine aid after backing down on border demand (msn.com) MTG is coming across as a Russian stooge.
  9. Russia trying to build railways around sanctions: Russia's grand railway plan to get around Western sanctions is about to get even bigger (msn.com) I am reminded of the old Axis powers prior to WWII.
  10. And then there were two... Another Republican congress critter announced his retirement before the 2024 election, dropping the Republican House majority to just two seats. One of my predictions for this year was that the House had a 50-50 shot of changing hands through sheer attrition and Republican incompetence before the election. Colorado Rep. Ken Buck resigning from Congress, narrowing GOP majority (msn.com)
  11. I will refrain from commenting about the cross-border incursions. I will note that Team Biden somehow managed to get a 300 million military aid package for Ukraine approved. Not much, but better than nothing.
  12. I am not so sure of this. From where I am standing, the Republicans stand to lose control of the House and fail to take the Senate regardless of who becomes POTUS. Mostly, this will be because of Republican incumbents doubling down on horrible policies and laws - but a lack of campaign money will also play into it. I figure the D's will flip a number of R seats deemed 'safe' - House and Senate both.
  13. This is where Trump steals all the campaign money he can lay his hands on crippling Republican incumbents across the county, and possibly handing safe seats to Democrats. And his base will cheer.
  14. Taylor Swift will rally the youth vote, and the vast majority of those she sways will vote D. Even my apolitical daughter took a look at 'Project 47,' which she thought was hilariously evil. I have noticed something odd in perusing the comments for articles and social media posts pertaining to Taylor Swift's involvement in politics. The Trump fans, contrary to their usual crude and hostile selves are reluctant in the extreme to attack her directly - almost no name-calling or crude threats, just 'she should stay out of politics.' It is almost like they are afraid of her. As to Biden being too old, that is what Harris is for - something far too many people forget, here and elsewhere.
  15. Again, the idea would be to destroy the infrastructure in a large area around Belgorod. Russia would be unable to stop that. They would use Russian equipment, and maybe the Russian POW militias for this. Destroying several hundred bridges, factories, locomotives, and power plants would put that entire part of Russia in a bind.
