"It's okay, it was a non-violent crime and he was just on house arrest at this point anyways."

But we expected more from Biden.

Oh I see - Rita Crundwell. As usual you are wrong. She was not pardoned. The last year of her sentence, which she was serving at home btw, was commuted.

Oh the horror, I'm only half right, Biden commuted the sentence of one of the most prolific embezzlers ever.

What seems to be needed to be overhauled is Republicans relying upon little more than hearsay to start their investigations.

You mean working on

"raw intelligence " not established facts, but a starting point for further investigation"

? I wonder where I've heard that one before.

He pardoned the lady that embezzled over 50 million from I think it was Chicago as the comptroller and spent it on horses.

They will definitely be giving up land. There is no Ukrainian ability to retake Crimea or Donbass. They just don't have the bodies, and the EU would have to form and commit armies to make it happen.

The Kellog-Fleitz plan given to Trump is to force both parties to the table. If Ukraine refuses negotiations, arms get cutoff. If Russia refuses negotiations, arms pour into Ukraine. NATO membership application for Ukraine is paused, but they get a US Security Guarantee and arms deals after the accord is signed.

Are you telling me somebody got elected on a plank, then have cabinet members say they're going to do something completely different when elected?

Didn't see that coming. Must be new.

I expect Israel to last about that long this time around also.

Based on what? It is already 76 years old. It has won every single war it has been in.

Current events of note:

* Russian military production is set back 30 years. The Russian Expeditionary Force was 96% destroyed. The Russian Convict Army was 96% destroyed. It's on its third generation of Army in 1 regional border war. The Black Sea Fleet is mostly destroyed.
* The IAF destroyed Iran's air defenses in a day and missile production pummeled.
* The Syrian Army doesn't exist anymore, along with all of its infrastructure.
* Entire Iraqi militias backed by Iran were wiped out by US airstrikes headed for Syria.
* Hamas middle management is mostly dead or in prison. Senior management was evicted from Qatar and fled to a NATO member (Turkey).
* Hezbollah middle and upper management is mostly dead.
* It's not physically possible for Egypt to cross the North Sinai against the next 100 years of projected IAF air power.
* All the Houthi can do are shoot missiles and drones that get intercepted, and their supply line was thoroughly bombed by the IAF attacking Iran.

The trumpers worried about that? It's called Concern Trolling. It's common on this site.

Ukrainians argue that it did not happen fast enough. They're probably not wrong imho.

and they aint no Tay Tay.

So 1970? That'd be around $150/ticket now.

Maybe the tix should not have been ridiculously expensive

$2 billion ticket sales over 10 million tickets is $200/ticket. That's not ridiculous.

Yeah and he only had to worry about the nuclear war threats from Putin so why was he so cautious? Common sense? Something you won't have in the new administration.

If the Biden admin worried about that they would not have crossed the 40+ red lines. The new administration doesn't have any red lines left to cross so its not an issue.

Worked for Biden.

Biden slow walked aid turdherder.

What self-respecting, anti-corporate CEO assassin goes to McDonald's for Chrissake?

One that wants to be caught.

If he didn't want to be caught he'd have used DoorDash.

Why should Russia make a deal if it knows Trump intends to cut aid to Ukraine and potentially pull out of NATO?

#2 | Posted by Sycophant at 2024-12-09 10:34 AM | Reply | Flag:

Because Trump cabinet choices have signaled they'll flood Ukraine with arms if the deal is rebuffed.

Then ... what was the purpose of your strafing run?

To tease Rcade for Russian agitprop on the front page that went on right up until Ukraine was invaded.

Mmm yeah, we did so great with that strategy and no empathy.

"Argentina's inflation slowed to 2.7% in October, the lowest level in three years in a win for the libertarian government of President Javier Milei who came to power almost a year ago promising to pull Argentina out of a dire economic crisis."

In the middle of one of the biggest economic turnarounds in history after a century or so of being one of the biggest economic basket cases in the world.

You referring to things like this?

Nope. That's just a run of the mill flight accident and somebody who doesn't know anything about air combat talking about air combat.
