For trump's supporters when they realize they have been had? Using honor in the same sentence with trump himself is a oxymoron isn't it?

Net Zero Housing and electric vehicles. Carbon taxes the most effective way to change personal conduct regarding carbon use. Urban planning to prioritize mass urban transit over private vehicles: Better Bus Systems Could Slow Climate Change Property tax systems that favor higher densities over detached single family/urban sprawl.

Likely one of the few places left in Russia that might be safe as the attacking drone was a "copter-type UAV". So the attack was launched close to the base. Perhaps some nuclear powered subs should be next up.

Holey wackjob batman. That makes Ron look like Einstein.

Agree. I was thinking more along the lines of his brutal authoritarianism than backsliding from open democracy. IMO the real danger of trump is his openness to move in both authoritarianism and eliminating democracy. Obviously both being acceptable to his base. Meanwhile Ukraine is moving to transparent democracy.

The current N. Atlantic situation. Brent should be dining on crow soon and its a good thing Joe got the hell out of the Caribbean. Imagine you're on a sailboat in the Bahamas. Which direction is safety?

Most people can see how Russia slipped into that form of government under Putin. It takes effort to keep those forces at bay so they don't have to shed the blood of patriots like Ukraine is doing today. The power of misinformation is evident in the likes of Slim and how intrinsic such values are in him, in MAGA republicans.

FIFY

Only in the backwaters of America. May 17, 2023 PEW study. below. So as usual the Cherry picking Brent has scoured the web for misinformation. When does cherry picking slide into outright lies?

A recent poll showed that a third of republicans believe violence may be necessary to keep trump in power. Florida is the home of MAGA republicans. Where Slim has heard it before? Likely something he believes in and heard and repeated himself many times before. President Volodymyr Zelensky explaining to Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark that this is the release button to drop a 2000 pounder on Putin's bridge. She was enthusiastic that Ukraine could put them to good use helping Russians to find their way home. Sixty one F-16s have been pledged to Ukraine to date from Denmark and the Netherlands.Still waiting to hear from President Biden on a US donation.

So you're saying that democrats in America have learned from the history of prejudice in America. But republicans haven't learnt from hundreds of years blaming every nationality and race?

I thought they were called "your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me" At least until republicans turned their attentions to renaming them. This is what the hatred is directed to: Yes they should be hated because they are Brown skinned. Because they are poor, homeless, oppressed, seeking freedom and a better life. Judged to be illegals because they are gang members. Look at the one in the yellow outfit. Clearly a MS-13 member. The guy hiding behind the sign, probably a rapist.

Wunderbar we agree again!

Agree, just as he doesn't believe in the US constitution, freedom or democracy. Hell, he doesn't believe in science, acknowledging mistakes, paying for mistakes, the rule of law, equality under the law, international law, etc. etc.

Obviously real battlefield results are above our pay grades. Well mine anyway. President Biden has approved F-16 exports and perhaps 50-60 are on the table, But Ukraine has had very good success with Storm Shadow missiles and the French version of same. Obviously the US and NATO Europe is supplying intel. The Netherlands has promised 6 F-16s at the end of this year, 18 in 2024 and 5 in 2025. I wonder if more of the same and ATACM missiles could result in a Ukrainian victory in itself? Air power without the bombers so to speak. Russia is losing equipment and skilled troops at a massive scale. They don't seem to have any program to fully train and fully equip top notch formations. Instead relying on pouring more and more contracted peasants from the far east. Anyone that can hold a Kalashnikov and use a shovel if good enough.Did you hear that Slim? Ukraine is massively expanding a domestic drone industry and striking further and further. Its starting to have better results at sea and on land.

In two locations they have broken through the minefields, trenches and "dragon's teeth". But I'm guessing they are reluctant to commit reserves due to Russian airpower over any breakout. The general strategy in degrading Russian capabilities behind the lines seems to be more and more successful. I read more and more reports where Russians on the front have no armor support, no artillery support and non existent closely linked command. In addition Ukrainian armor seems to be able to operate with relative freedom. Which means Russian ATGMs seems to be in short supply. At least until Iran and N.Korea rushes supplies.

I was thinking that there may be problems with that mission. It's been two generations since Russia did anything new on its own in space. All its rockets are old with the exception of some new missiles. The Russian space agency/company is called Roscosmos. It has been Putin's favorite grounds for scooping up cash. "Russia's Audit Chamber, a parliamentary body of financial control, said financial violations at Roscosmos in 2017 stood at 760 billion rubles (around $11.7 billion), accounting for nearly 40 percent of the total irregularities in the entire economy that year. Roscosmos told AFP that "eradicating corruption" is one of its "primary goals", adding that it regularly cooperates with investigations by the authorities." Now that Russia isn't flying cargo and paying passengers into space. Real cash to keep things running is in short supply. So much winning in Russia. Sorry Slim.

If you apply enough pressure to Kid Rock. He turns into Niel Diamond.

Maui Sued Big Oil in 2020 and that matter is still before the courts. More than two dozen cities and states are suing Big Oil over climate change – they just got a boost from the US Supreme Court The recent fires and death toll may provide some real trajectory to boost those potential jurors and damage awards. Discovery in these matters has revealed that oil companies have known for decades that fossil fuels are the direct cause of global warming. Hopefully the shareholders are severely punished for these actions just like big tobacco was. Sorry Brent.

Be it the seventies or now a stoner is still a stoner. in other news the National Hurricane Center is tracking one hurricane, a cat 4 headed to the US. In addition four tropical disturbances are being tracked. So how many kilos of crow can Brent eat in a day? For Americans it would be how many lbs of crow can BH eat in a day? OK, OK its a trick question. Everyone knows Brent doesn't eat crow. He backpedals like a madman.

Now they need some jamming pods and standoff weapons. In other news. The "North Korean missile capable of striking the U.S. most likely a result of cooperation with Russia, think tank says" "The Hwasong-18 missile’s physical dimensions and its flight trajectory data appear “nearly identical” to those at of Russia’s Topol-M ICBM" "The Topol-M, designated the SS-27 by the United States, is a three-stage, solid-fueled missile with a reported range in excess of 10,000 kilometers. The missile can be deployed on both silo-based and mobile land-based launch platforms. Roughly similar to the U.S. Minuteman III in capability and sophistication, the Topol-M is deployed with a single warhead with an estimated yield of 550 kilotons, although the missile can be modified to carry at least three warheads." It is usually equipped with maneuverable warheads. Putin/Russia is also providing nuclear and missile technology to Iran in exchange for weapons.

Because you're too considerate you conceded too much in you're response. US pharma doesn't own the French drug procurement system, the Canadian system the EU, Australia, NZ, etc. etc. It doesn't control or influence the drug approval process in those countries. US pharma overcharges for its US drugs v the rest of the world. But it ends there. If falsely labeling the FDA as corrupt sells your personal refusal to take drugs that your physician recommends thats on the conspirators. Its all just a part of Washington being owned by everyone but republicans b.s. If being bitter and angry leads to shorter lives its all good in the end.

Agree. I was concerned a couple years ago when some study said that coffee was a carcinogen. Because it was roasted just like overcooked meat can be. Thankfully that "known carcinogen agent" was just a study paid for by some class action trial lawyers and since disproved. Since then I've doubbled down.

Good thing. From that story: "When the FBI seized several of his cell phones in April 2021 in a now-closed investigation, much of Giuliani’s electronic records were held on a database operated by a company called Trustpoint.One. But they were archived, and running searches on files the company held for more recent litigation isn’t cheap. Even  hosting his records with the company costs $20,000 a month, according to a recent court filing. ...By May, Giuliani was more than $320,000 behind in payments to the document hosting company, according to a sworn statement he made in court. “I do not have the funds to pay this amount at this time,” he wrote. " Like WTF. I need to invest in cloud companies.

When ramblings, conspiracies, guns, anger/hatred of dems. Swirls around in your brain like a Cat 5 its hard to do that.
