  1. I was wondering if Orban, trump and Putin have started discussions on how Ukraine should be divided up? Soon trump will be rounding up his political enemies. Non-Christians, liberals, etc. will be herded off:
  2. Tesla stock and a strawman for looks. You're in the wrong camp Joe. With big cuts coming to the FBI and IRS. A fully weaponized justice department and a court that has sidetracked the previously precious and worshiped constitution. There is big money to be made and even Mitch McConnell is onboard.
  3. Well not necessarily; Canada had 1.2 million immigrants last year. "Canada is caught in a “population trap” for the first time in modern history and needs to limit immigration to escape it, say economists with the National Bank of Canada. A population trap, according to Oxford dictionary, is when the population is growing so fast that all available savings are needed to maintain the existing capital–labour ratio, making any increase in living standards impossible." The federal government is now forced to allocate money for housing rather than measures that contribute directly to GDP growth. “Indeed, third-quarter GDP data came in below economists’ consensus expectations, showing outright contraction, notably due to a drop in private domestic demand.” “Consumption stagnated for the second quarter in a row, a stinging setback in the current demographic context characterized by record population increases.” The recalculated GDP per capita is at an annualized contraction of 4.4% during the third quarter. Domestic demand is now the main concern for business owners in Canada."
  4. The whole world has and is instituting carbon controls, plastic use restrictions and measures to preserve the environment. With Europe leading those efforts. Why not be honest about these measures. Its an Ah! Ha! moment every time you can post here something that runs counter to those ideals.
  5. Surrounded by enemies, not paying his bills, suing everyone around him and running our of money. Not surprising he is associated now with trump and getting cash from trump.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. For the uninitiated: Jay Leno's Rolls-Royce Packs a 27-Liter V-12 From a WWII Fighter Plane
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. and in bad taste. But trump does know his market.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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".
  16. 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.
  17. Female, White, billionaire, a brain and with millions of fans. Its no wonder republicans feel threatened. Setting aside the whole NFL thing of course.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. "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.
  21. 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.
