Re: Trump Charged With 37 counts of Espionage, Obstruction and related crimes
So I did a little reading on what Jack Smith was doing in the Hague before he got recalled to the US to take on Trump investigations. He was going after Balkan warlords for crimes committed during the war in Kosovo in the late 90's. He brought an indictment against Thaci, the former President of Kos...

Re: World News Thread
Yeah, my husband hasn't been moping too much about that decision. Especially since his sister is coming to us this summer! And her visa is good for ten years, so if she finds visiting the US to her liking we can arrange more. It's a lot cheaper to fly her in than to fly the four of us out... Last ye...

Re: World News Thread
I don't even know where to start but it can be summed up as lots of people are fed up with Vucic's shit and Vucic is responding by trying to stir up newer and more distracting shit. Kinda glad we're not going this year. It wouldn't be dangerous, AFAIK, just a huge PITA to do some of our favorite thi...

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
I thought the big counter-offensive already started with chewing up Wagner in Bakhmut and Zelensky was just f*cking with people. But I probably missed something.

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions
There are also multiple continents full of countries that are not Russia to flee to, given that she is not fleeing the law, AFAIK. Why not go somewhere with a view of Mediterranean and good coffee? Even if she were fleeing the law, you have a point. Russia isn't the only place she could go. I don't...

Re: 2020 Election: Predictions, Results and Reactions
I feel like there's a cycle with Tara Reade: she emerges from wherever she's been, with her claims against Biden. The claims are evaluated by both skeptical and the credulous. There's fuss and bother about unsealing Biden's papers. And then it all falls apart and she disappears again. During the 202...

Re: The Looming Catastrophe
That bodes well if the deal makes it to the Senate. I think everyone underestimates Biden. It's both his superpower and his Achilles heel. In the case of the debt ceiling deal, you'll notice that there are voices on both sides declaring victory and voices on both sides screaming in anger that they g...

Re: The Looming Catastrophe
If this deal collapses the WH might feel at liberty to rethink its position. Or not. I have no idea what anyone in the Biden Admin is thinking, but I do know that negotiations can be an elaborate and theatrical dance. If the current plan falls apart, the dance begins again, to a different tune.

Re: The much too early 2024 election thread
The Republican mayoral candidate for Colorado Springs, Wayne Williams, also lost tonight. The winner there is an independent, Yemi Moboblade. Moboblade, a Nigerian immigrant, is the first Black man elected to be the city's mayor, and the first mayor not to be a Republican -- excepting a few months ...

Re: Gun Control Debate
One of the lessons from Sandy Hook is that, for some, there is no school shooting horrific enough for an honest conversation about America's gun fetish. And those who feel that way are numerous and powerful and well-funded enough that nothing gets done and kids keep getting their bodies blown apart ...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
As of now we know Trump has been indicted following an investigation into his business practices and hush money payments. We don't, however, know anything specific about the indictment other than there is at least one charge. This leaves me wondering why so many people have been so reckless as to ev...

Re: World News Thread
Let me get this straight. Ukraine made some moves toward maybe possibly hopefully maybe joining NATO some day. But it was going to take a while because NATO has certain expectations regarding military organization and equipment that Ukraine did not, at the time, meet. Nevertheless, Russia found that...

Re: The Russia Investigations and other Trump-related cases
This is starting to resemble a subplot in a Batman movie. New DA who won't be bought is going after a really big fish so the big fish is trying to save himself. Except in the movie it's mobsters teaming up with a supervillain and in Reality 2023 it's an ex-President teaming up with his superfans.

Re: The Russia Investigations and other Trump-related cases
I've been wondering what leaks he is referring to regarding any imminent indictment and arrest. The most detail I've heard on either is coming from him. Perhaps one of his attorney's got a courtesy call?
If he gets perp-walked will his SS detail be in attendance?
