"Trump says he could impose tariffs on countries that oppose his goal of acquiring Greenland"

Europe will fire sale UST bonds and refuse to buy more, cratering the US economy for a generation.

"You are one of the stupidest motherf*&^ers here.
There is nothing you won't swallow from this administration."

He's an Uncle Tom. Maybe one day he'll live out his dream when the white supremacists fully take over and enslave him and drag him to a southern plantation. If he's a good boy, he'll get to work in the house.

"All because of a white woman, but nobody's racist.
Oh, what a country."

True, but at this point I don't care how sausage is made as long as it gets made.

States run their Federal elections. If red states want to cancel their elections and leave their seats unfilled in congress, have at it. Blue states could use the boost.

"Most likely because doing so would create serious complications for the US and diplomatically around the world."

Lol too late for that. Denmark has shoot first orders for American troops that step off base in greenland without permission from Denmark. Denmark. The country that sent more troops per-capita to Afghanistan to defend *us* than any other country.

Hans? Are we the baddies? Lolol

"Obama's fault."

Surprised he hasn't blamed Clinton or Carter yet.

As usual, Trump may have forgotten that there are Republican districts in blue states too. They tend to be poor and rural, and require federal assistance. The blue states need to remind their residents just who pulled the funding. The house is held by a razor thin majority of Republican congressmen.

"Why doesn't that matter to more people?"

People vote their values? It says a lot about people that voted for Trump that there is no reason they didn't know what he was and they voted for him anyways. I hope that they get what they voted for good and hard.

"The farmers of America chose to love a man who never could love them back. Someone who thinks that they are marks and losers, and treats them that way."

Well, Trump was right about that. They *are* marks and losers. I love this for them.

Happy New Year!

"This isn't the New Year, most of the world the New Year starts Feb 17th, year of the Horse.
Americans are so parochial"

Awww that's cute. My colleagues in China get 3 days off for the Solar New Year. In Feb I'll wish you Gong Xi fa Cai you propagandist.

"A hangar doesn't stop an ATACMS. It just means you lose the plane and the hangar. Hangars are for repairs, not so much storage."

Yes, but Ukraine is hitting them with fpv drones, repeatedly.

"Russians are brutal and fatalist, but not retarded."

I don't know, they keep parking their planes outdoors in Crimea rather than in hangers. They go boom. Sounds kind of retarded to me.

"NUKE ------- MOSCOW"

Ukraine can return the Chernobyl reactor core to Moscow, piece by piece, via their new cruise missiles soon enough.

Ukraine could probably develop a low-yield device relatively quickly anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if that has been a skunk works project for them for a while now. They certainly have the ingredients and the engineering know-how. Set one off in the black sea off the coast of Novorossiysk and tell the Russians they have 24 hours to evacuate all of the occupied territories.

"Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it."

Not just once, twice. And the second time he was a felon and likely pdf to boot.

Danforth, I know it is a long article. In response to:

"Which is why every bank corporation is formed in Delaware."

There is this in the article:

The third useful corporation law provision concerns corporations not chartered in the state, known as "foreign corporations." This provision determines which powers a state grants to out-of-state corporations. When Florida, for example, grants a foreign corporation from Delaware the authority to operate in the state, it "does not authorize a foreign corporation to engage in any business or exercise any power that a corporation may not engage in or exercise in this state."

This provision gives the first two their real power"a state that moves to no longer grant its domestic corporations the power to spend in elections is also denying that power to corporations chartered in the other 49 states.

Notably, the operation of the foreign corporation provision in each state's law means that this approach does not depend on its being adopted by Delaware, even though the state is home to the lion's share of major corporate registrations. Every state that adopts this approach keeps every Delaware corporation out of its politics.

"funy you Dems just keep eating each other alive. Remember, the Democrats are the Party of the Rich"

You say this in a thread about Democrats wanting to tax the rich while your president is a paper billionaire backed by billionaires.

Your head is deeply up Trumps ass you pinecone.

Lamp, from the article I linked:

Citizens United held that government may not regulate a corporation's right to spend money independently in elections. But the court did not say what a corporation is"it could not. That question lies beyond even the Supreme Court's reach.

Each state creates and defines its corporations. It need not permit its creations to consume it.
In American law, corporations are not born; they are built. Corporations are creatures of statute, not of nature. And for more than two centuries, the power to build them"to define their form, limits, and privileges"has belonged to the states and only to the states.

Please take a look Lamplighter. This is interesting and deserves more publicity.

"But election donations seem to be a Federal power.
Elections are not corporate law."

That's the argument they would make, but corporations are granted their right to exist and how they operate their business by the states.

Corporate charters are granted and can be revoked by the states.

The federal government doesn't control corporate law, that is a state power.

Corky, we don't need to overturn CU. States can amend their corporate laws to forbid corporations operating in their state from spending money on elections.

Merry Xmas. Sunny here for a moment in OC, CA, more rain tomorrow! Last night was wild.

"totally superior level of incompetence"

It is possible that some in the FBI assigned to covering up for Trump are "redacting" the files in a way that is easily reversible. Presumably not everyone in the FBI is OK covering up for a pdf raypist.
