So just when Hunter is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, he has no resources.

Oh... I so wanna see the right/well connected have to rely on a public defender.

there are concerns about how Biden will pay for expert witnesses to testify for him at his Delaware trial.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

As the hearing opened, Lowell told Judge Maryellen Noreika that for the first time in his long career, he wasn’t ready for a trial to start. He noted the complexity of Biden’s legal situation: two trials looming within weeks of each other, and appeals proceedings already underway in both jurisdictions.

Come on... there's no way that this lawyer didn't see this coming and was just wanting to milk this cash cow for as long as possible (currently four years and counting).

Experts who testify for defendants at trials can bill $500 per hour or more for their work. They can rebut the analysis that government experts provide about evidence presented at trial.

Tell me what I want, what I really really want! I'll tell you what you want, what you really really want! You gotta pay, you gotta pay, you gotta pay, you gotta pay, You gotta pay me 500 bucks in USA now...

It’s not clear how much Lowell, or the other lawyers working on Biden’s cases, are charging for their services. In other recent cases, Lowell has sought fees of $855 per hour and over $1,500 per hour.

Hunter needs to get another job sitting on the board of a Ukrainian company, STAT!

Berges also told lawmakers he stopped representing Biden last year.

“From a business perspective, it hasn’t been the best decision for me,” he said.

Got that bag, time to split!

Post how you post and let the comments flow past you, around you, through you. Then post again.

More please!

I mean, what parent hasn't had the thought, "I need to start over with this one"?

Jo Miran, seems pretty on the nose with what the USA was wanting at the start of the SMO.

Now, the USA just wants it to stop.

I thought this was something new and not a remembrance of something from the late 90's.

Its a joint statement but its definitely framed as "China taking the lead and France following" and not the other way around. I don't see this as a sign that China is moving away from its current relationships with Russia.

Hmm... skin cancer or be an ankylosaurus?

(also, f-you spell checker for trying to correct ankylosaurus to tyrannosaurus)

Only 25% of US interceptors succeeded in Iran attack - report

SHOCKINGLY INEPT: US Missile Defense System Had 75% Failure Rate In Iran Attack On Israel

The headlines to both articles are funny.

Dude doesn't realize that he IS the insurgent in this conflict...

"disperse"

wink

I guess fair point..

So there was this little program that I read about on Reddit the year before or the first year of COVID (in the USA) called the "Affordable Connectivity Program".

If you were poor enough or already qualified/signed up for some other government assistance programs, the program would reduce your internet bill by about 20~30 dollars a month. Last year, it seems like Congress decided not to extend funding to this program.

But 95 Billion bucks for Ukraine and Israel instantly passes, just to set the money on fire.

Computer, show me a realistic version of Mega Man 4's "Toad Man."

On one hand... way to be assholes "scientists".

On the other hand... I didn't know technology existed that could possibly fix a broken spider leg and I need it.

Seriously, just a quiet quad copter with a fairly sensitive microphone can hear these things from miles away.

Turbine engines in tracked vehicles have a very distinctive sound.

Why would an Israeli family be living in the West Bank or Gaza? And who would be more likely to be killing their children, Israeli occupation forces or Palestinian resistance to the occupation forces?

So now it switches from civilians to "innocent" civilians.

So the baby boomer generation extends all the way to the 70's now?

“Far too many people lack access to retirement savings options and this, coupled with higher prices, is making it increasingly hard for people to choose when to retire,”

"... lack access to retirement savings..." This hurts my brain to read.

At the end of the article there's a link to a "fix your finances boot camp"... smdh
