It had been reported that the Russian mafia were feeding information to Giuliani on the Italian mob. It was how Guiliani was able to make his cases, build his reputation to become "America's mayor", AND also compromised him to become a Russian asset.
The story was reported a long while ago, and I don't remember which journalist(s) broke the story or who they wrote for, nor their reliability, anymore, but recall them as very highly rated as accurate in their facts.
News sank to being edutainment. The outrageous gets air time and eyes while actual news that can be used is boooorrriiinnnggg.
Then, we have to have the obligatory awww and feel good story at the end.
I did a search to buy Prius batteries. I remember searching for how to replace batteries years ago and downloading the instructions. There were quite a few steps because of the potential of fire, if shorted out, but otherwise was pretty straight forward.
Asking for a friend, what is there to prevent wanna-be influencers getting some shots set up, for quick selection of a paired set and uploading that?
Bereal, by it's very name, is a challenge to game the app.
With good behavior, he can be free in only 14.5 years, and he was let off lightly.
Imagine throwing away almost 15 years of your life, destroying your family, and losing everything you worked for, because you believed Trump. Then finding out that it was all one big lie.
They learned some of what didn't work. That does not translate to being able to any better ability to lead a nation. Authoritarians always fail on the fatal flaw of believing their own BS, and sycophants reaffirming that delusion.
Kings, Popes, Hitler, Putin, Dear Leader, and now Xi all were inflicted with that delusion.
Our Prius lasted 12 years before we sold it, and it was still going strong. Newer batteries have improved their life expectancy. My experience makes me doubt your claim both on life expectancy and cost. A quick search estimates the (battery) cost between $2000-$4500, depending upon installation cost.
We replaced the Prius with another hybrid that gives us 65 mpg/28 kpl. When infrastructure gets better, We will fully switch to electric.
ICE engines really are that much more inefficient. Equivalent electrical costs are pennies per gallon.
edit added: (battery)
You would be siphoning money from going to where it would cause damage. You could forward that money with a place that does actual good. Make sure that the fine print of starting your nonprofit gives you the legal power to do that, select the nonprofit to send it to with care, and you are good to go.
"Fox News confirms" is not a confirmation that we can believe, anymore. Trump likely made his PAC some money, but who knows how much. Every thing Trump releases is inflated or BS.
I suspect that Trump's taking national classified documents included these documents. Trump classified these with the highest of secret classifications at the time to hide them, and he did not dare leave them for Biden to get his hands on.
If Biden's administration could still could get these transcripts, they could have been redacted to take out the sensitive parts and been declassified.
We are likely to not have all the secret documents that Trump took, still.
I do not think that Putin would let Trump have that information. Trump would blab it, and Putin knows that he would.
Convincing Trump that America should realign with Russia to take down China (and Europe) a few notches is more likely. That was obvious when the Republican Party changed their platform concerning Russia back in the 2016 election.
Putin still was being fed a bunch of BS by his intelligence agencies and thought that his little green men could again take over another small satellite country. If America had not started helping with training Ukrainians to defend their country, that would have been the outcome. Simply refusing to aid Ukraine would have been enough. Even our intelligence thought that Russia was a major military power at the time.
To quote Giuliani himself, He has insurance, and knows where the bodies are buried.
There are likely extemporaneous contemporaneous notes of items of interest
One holds that Trump was simply pushing the boundaries of legality, squeezing through cracks or uncertainties in the process to effect a result that blocked Joe Biden’s inauguration.<
Others simply think it was a clever effort to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, like violating unwritten rules to win a sporting contest.<
I purchased a bidet insert that has a valve that can intake hot and cold water (2 pipes) and output a medium temperature as part of the bidet. It was slightly more expensive, but in winter, is worth it. No electricity needed.
Pence is being blamed for Trump not being successful in his coup, and his numbers show it. What else does Pence have? Roe V Wade? Voters are furious about that, too. Republicans are trying to save their asses on this overreach, too. Pence is on the wrong side of everything.
Maybe it's a sign.
