Mental gymnastics to avoid addressing that Trump is deeply involved with sex traffickers and protecting them and by extension, himself.

Nice deflecting. So you think that spending 50 million because you're mad a cartoon on TV made fun of you is a good thing?

Possibly, but I don't think that somebody who became a billionaire by making smart investments is going to need a lot of help. By now they're both into their 70's or 80's so I would cast even more doubt that either of them really do much themselves. Dr. Michael Burry consistently outperformed the market and still does to some degree. Maybe you should ask him.

https://www.cracked.com/article_47922_is-the-trump-administration-spending-50-million-to-combat-south-parks-takedown-of-kristi-noem.html You can't make this stuff up. All because a cartoon made fun of them.

To be fair, her husband is probably the one who actually does it, and he is the one with the bulk of their wealth. So a smart, savvy investor who is a billionaire being able to consistently outperform the market isn't that surprising. I doubt Nancy really does much investing herself.

I don't think he knows who he's talking about. Just as long as it's not why Trump won't release the Epstein files.

Diatta gets the first takedown.

The mental gymnastics to give cover to an apologist for sex trafficking is amazing.

"I'm just asking questions."

In the first six months of Trump’s second term, his corruption is worse, marked by a dramatic escalation of his presidential profiteering. This term, Trump has made 99 visits to his properties, including 62 visits to his golf courses, a 37% increase from last term. Foreign government officials from ten countries have made 19 visits to Trump properties this term, with state government officials visiting 17 times in the last six months. Special interest groups, political committees and foreign governments have held 49 events at Trump properties, 16 more than this time in Trump’s first term. In the first six months of this administration, Trump has promoted his properties by mentioning them 57 times, a 78% increase from the first six months of his first term

Moving the goal posts eh?

A voice intoned, "Ladies and gentlemen…the star of Sanford and Son, Mister Redd Foxx!" The small band on the stage struck up the Sanford and Son theme: "Yum ta da-da, yum ta da-da da-da-dum, yum ta da-da…" Redd Foxx, resplendent in a tuxedo, his Norelco-shaved head gleaming in the follow-spot, strutted out on stage. He reached the microphone and peered out in the house. Then, after a moment or two, he screamed out in a loud voice — "I AIN'T DOIN' A SHOW FOR TEN FREAKIN' WHITE PEOPLE!" Then he turned and marched off the stage. The band struck up his theme again: "Yum ta da-da, yum ta da-da da-da-dum, yum ta da-da…" The lights came up, the waiters passed through the place distributing refunds…and the show was over.

It's kind of like that thing with Red Fox. He showed up to perform and there were like a dozen people there so he made some kind of insulting comments and walked off stage. The house band wasn't sure what to do, so they just played the same song as when he walked on stage.

But that doesn't cost tens of millions of dollars either.

Everything that's being reported makes his Alaska meeting sound like a failure or waste of time.

Did you stop taking your meds Jimmy?

I just think it's funny that a guy who pretended to be from the inner city and first gained some measure of success in what was, and still mostly is, a black musical style, basically became his father who he reportedly hated. His dad was none too happy with his son's life choices either, and didn't mince words about the company his son kept during his hip hop days. Then when people who actually knew him pointed out he grew up in the suburbs, he shifted to saying he was from the country, which was at least closer to reality, but not exactly accurate either. So a chronic liar who has been married multiple times, unfaithful, and complains when people don't pay attention to him.

That was very tough to watch.

This pretty much sums it up: Kid Rock, who grew up an entitled rich kid in the suburbs of Detroit—and not in the inner city or the country like he’s tried to convince people of at various times in his life—is still a petulant child well into his 50s. https://www.vice.com/en/article/kid-rock-throws-tantrums-when-nobody-claps/

Trump-Putin documents left on hotel printer : NPR https://share.google/D7EXmJn0P23AICMDo You'd be screaming for Biden to be impeached over something like this. I just think it's a sign of how incompetent his administration is.

You're just looking at GDP. That's a factor, but it doesn't tell the whole story. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.economictimes.com/news/international/us/once-prosperous-hungary-is-now-the-poorest-nation-in-eu-meanwhile-this-tiny-nation-tops-the-wealth-rankings/amp_articleshow/121978907.cms

Yes. Very sure. Now there are probably some extremely poor people in Ukraine, especially now that their country has been under attack for 2+ years. But overall there are much poorer countries in Europe. Ones that aren't involved in long scale wars.

Sad. Who is really in power here? Definitely not a doddering 80 year old who is an alleged teetotaler but can't walk in a straight line.

Ukraine isn't anywhere near as poor as Moldova

I think he's too high to care honestly.
