Zero assets? Yeah, I really doubt that. He's not smart. And his popularity? You think any of these sociopaths in power actually like each other? Not a chance.

The moment there's no chance of material gain by sucking up to him, he'd be tossed aside.

I really wish we'd stop hero worshipping the most worthless fools amongst us.

And, again, that hurts Putin how, exactly? I didn't say Russia, nor did I mention the Russian people.

No, sanctions are not working; by punishing the citizens for his actions we are simply adding more fervor to their own state propaganda. But the very real harm the citizenry there are experiencing means nothing to that walking slime.

I have nothing against the Russian people, nor the people of any other nation. It is possible to separate the actions and views of the sociopathic elite usurpers from the people they pretend to represent.

This problem is happening everywhere. I stand in solidarity with the working class, no matter where they call home.

Unfortunately, other instances may need to defederate from this one to solve the issue. Hope it doesn't come to that, of course, but in the mean time, yes, bringing attention to the issue is definitely a good move, no matter the outcome.

Absolutely was not above board, I'm afraid. Pretty sure they took a task force that was supposed to look for ways to streamline the IT services of the executive branch and handed it to Musk. But since members of that team didn't need confirmation (given they had no authority to enact what's going) they used that as their excuse that it's legitimate.

You may want to do a little research and see if your community has a good clinic to visit. Please be cautious, though! There are unfortunately a large number of places that advertise free testing, but if you make an appointment they will do everything in their power to make sure you carry it to term, including downright abusive manipulation.

That said, there's still a lot of clinics out there that actually put your own well-being first, not just medically, but also in terms of respecting what you want as an outcome of this.

I wish you the best of luck! As a guy, I know I literally cannot even imagine what you are going through; so just know this internet stranger offers free virtual hugs!

You are absolutely incorrect. The similarity in the tests doesn't mean a thing.

The correct answer is yes, that is a positive result for a pregnancy test. No two ways about it.

Edit: I appreciate the action my fellow lemming took; only leaving this comment for the sake of dispelling misinformation. Nothing personal! (The timing of my comment was unfortunate - just a side effect of federation)

Heh. I see what you did there...

Right? Like, seriously, we all know somebody is just butthurt because their stock options tanked.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry! That was very unpatriotic of me, wasn't it? I mean, we all know that winning an election guarantees being heavily rewarded with insider trading, right? It's not like they're there to represent constituents or anything; I mean, doesn't everyone know we're a republic, not a democracy?!

Sigh...

Nah. Seize his assets, but make him stay here. Make that Nazi bastard experience life the American Way™ - living paycheck to paycheck at a minimum wage job (cause the moment his net worth guess to zero, his political influence does as well - another trademarked advantage of American living).

No. He's a Nazi. It's a fascist takeover. Wish these so called journalists would grow a pair.

From your first link:

"As President Trump threatens new sanctions against Russia, the Russian economy thrives despite previous measures that failed to deliver the intended bite."

Meanwhile, we're discussing actions in this thread that will clearly have consequences, not empty threats.

Why are you using their made up name for it?

Network State = fascism

Oh, no. Executive orders, at least according to "the rules", do not supercede the law. This is all blatantly illegal in many ways.

Fat lot of good that does, though, considering the other two branches are run by corrupt yes men.

Also, I don't think there's anything saying it's temporary...?

How does any of this hurt Putin, though?

I agree it's a powerful tool! I was specifically responding to "problem solved" in the previous comment. My reply was in no way meant as a general review of VPNs.

Not the magic bullet people think they are. Oh, and you can't turn it off, so you'll have to take the loss in network speed on absolutely everything. And better know how to configure each device so it doesn't go ahead and check leak your IP anyways, which also restricts choice of devices you use. Cause remember, if any device on your network ever connects to the net without the VPN, then your anonymity just went out the window.

Bait was stale, no flavor. Only 1 star.

It's far simpler that his handlers are foreign and actors who want the nation destroyed so they can chop it up and auction off the pieces. That motive fits.

His new inner circle are not his handlers; they are new recruits who want to be first in line to buy up the pieces. A billionaire is not a patriot. They don't give two fucks about society - that's why they're billionaires.

Eh, didn't he piss off American banks so bad he went to Russia for continued financing for his business deals uninterrupted largesse?

Besides, his father was first generation citizen, his mother was an immigrant. So, no, that's got nothing to do with his motivation here. It fits, however, with getting his loyal supporters dupes to keep supporting him.

I figure they got it wrong. The fan is facing away from him, and we're all on the other side...
