Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
Axios I can't really post the article here, because it has a lot of links, some graphs, and formatting that won't really translate. But the general point is that the Biden campaign has a massive fundraising advantage over the Trump campaign, as they both look to November. Considering Trump's abilit...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
You can keep repeating that claim all you want, it means nothing because that's not what's happening here . You can waffle on about anti-communist bullshit as much as you like as if it's somehow relevant but it changes nothing. By all means though, keep stuffing that strawman with those red herring...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
That's how you get around government bans and blocks in the US and Canada (probably most of Europe too). Example - Contractor that owes the government money and they are garnishing your wages? Set up a corporation, and have that corporation bill people for your services, and then just take your pay...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
To qualify as "holocaust denial" it has to contain one or more of the following: Nazi Germany's "Final Solution" was aimed only at deporting Jews from the territory of the Third Reich and did not include their extermination. Nazi authorities did not use extermination camps and g...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
Interestingly, Trump is against the Tik Tok ban. So this could help him with younger voters.

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
The ease of Tik Tok is that you can open it up for instant content with little effort. Adding a VPN layer is going to slow a lot of people.

Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
I see three possibilities for 2028: - Trump wins this year. He can't run again - Trump loses this year. I doubt he can delay his trials long enough, so he's going to have to try and run from wherever he's been incarcerated. - Trump dies Either way, I can't see him being a serious candidate in 2028 ...

So that's I guess the setup to Haley 2028, hoping that by then everyone is burned out on Trump.

US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men
I thought I'd get started on a thread for all of this wacky content. Right now in the Michigan Democratic primary, Biden is up against the proverbial empty chair, because of his stance on Israel and Palestine. So the ongoing story of Biden having a unified party while Trump can't get rid of Haley mi...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
That was Gretchen Whitner last night on CNN, presumably as a part of the 2028 run. No real acknowledgement of the underlying concerns of genocide, just covering for Joe Biden.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
So what I'm hearing is that the US and other NATO countries need to massively increase aid to Ukraine, including sending actual troops to supplement them. I haven't really heard a reason why we shouldn't do this other than "Putin will totally nuke any foreigners who set foot in Russia's Ukrain...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.
Hey Gandalf, I think we're all aware at this point that you believe it's really hypocritical to be against this war unless you were exactly as against every war the US and its allies have started so unless you're going to take the next step and actually say that's why Russia should be able to Iraq ...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.
Russia is attempting to conquer and annex territory, while at the same time committing genocide. While not much of a difference, it's enough that Russia is doing worse then anything the US has done. No, they just fund allies who annex territory and commit genocide while advancing US interests. It's...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.
I noticed that, placing such a facility in Ukraine itself is just going to become a target. It would make more sense to place it on the Polish side of their border with Ukraine. Hopefully this will be clarified in the future. Looking at maps, southeast Poland has a railway crossing into Ukraine, an...

Unfortunately they're getting the Blackrock Plan.

They're planning to do the same thing to the Ukraine that they tried to do to Russia until Putin w...
