Not me, Zelensky.

Some ceasefire, with frozen conflict - similar to Korea. No real solution or peace treaty. That's why the landmines.

Sometimes, stating the obvious is good.

Ah, so you're the kind of guy that used to get cigarettes for the rest of the kids. Now you're called an influenceter

Very impressed with this move on part of the Aussies. It's not that they know something the rest of the world doesn't, it's just that they have the guts to do something about it

Only stupid people can be remotely surprised by any of this.

The house is really close. So much so that Republicans will have a one seat majority until April. The Republicans will have a 3 seat majority in the senate. IDT it's anything to brag about and not a foregone conclusion for anything.

FFS. Google works just fine...

That particular agency was created by law, has a mandate, and is not part of the administration. Its creation by Congress as part of a compromise on an SEC restructure and receives budget as a set percentage of it. It's purpose is to look out for consumers getting ripped off, such as bank fees. I remember it because it is Elizabeth Warren's brainchild during the Clinton years. She was supposed to run it, but Republicans didn't like her. So, she ran for Congress, won a senate seat, and they really don't like her now.

That agency was created by congress and it will take congress to destroy it, no matter what President Musk says.

It's all transactional.

Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.

Better to sue the shipping company into oblivion

So, this is what you do to your #1trade partner

• Level 100% tarrifs on their goods
• dump millions of deportees on them
• invade them with military

IDK about you, but to me it sounds a little counter productive

Do you actually spend Thanksgiving going through your outrage journals looking for something to be upset about?

Actually, it is even illegal then but not prosecuted it seems.

I am promoting the idea of calling Musk President. The sooner ingrained, the sooner the orange narcissist will become even more unhinged leading to the inevitable fallout that will happen in any case.

There is no enforcement mechanism in this law. The crafters of the bill are conveniently leaving it up to the local institutions. So, it’s basically going to be a “rat on your friends” situation, just like Nazi Germany.

Soon Vindman will be a Congressman and President Musk's threats will be illegal
