Sure. Force Russia to buy C919's and improve their homegrown planes. That'll be great for Boeing and Airbus in the long term. Fidiots.

And the plan would be? Zelensky's still stuck on returning Donbass AND Crimea. Not going to happen. Any cease fire would benefit him. Putin isn't having it. Not until Zelensky gets real.

Red flag? I think they're suffering from the big ass rainbow flag they've been flying. They don't understand their customers.

I think you'll find the Biden years were much better for billionaires than the first Trump term. Prove me wrong.

That's the stuff of lefty nightmares.

I worked with a couple of white South Africans offshore in Thailand and they had some harrowing family stories, too. And that was about 10 years ago. I've also read that the vast majority of the expropriated farms have failed miserably. The knowledge is vested in the white farming families, like it or not.

Lot of context missing here. Putin doesn't want a temporary cease fire because that just gives Zelensky a breather to recover, regroup and rearm. Which would be stupid on Russia's part to grant them. Putin's not stupid.

Note to self: Don't do that if you're in a dodgy visa situation.

Probably explains why he wasn't on any watchlists... Those are for conservative prayer groups.

So who had "Aussie" in the pool?

I wonder if they even considered e-scooters? Even for a small portion of their purchase as a trial run...

Not so handy if you have a wife and kids at home.

In fairness, the OP doesn't indicate whether that budget includes service and spare parts for a specified time period.

Did you mean to type that U in there?

Trump's already had more nationwide injunctions against him in 60 days than Biden had in 4 years. 15, vs 14 for the entire 4 year Biden term and 12 over Obama's entire 8 year terms. Trump had 64 in his first term, and is on track to have 360 during this term. And here's what Justice Kagan said about that: In 2022, when President Biden faced a fraction of the injunctions imposed against Trump, Justice Elena Kagan publicly condemned the use of universal injunctions in an interview at Northwestern University School of Law. She lashed out at the obvious “forum shopping” to get before favorable courts and said “It just cannot be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years it takes to go through the normal [appellate] process.” She added, “You look at something like that and you think, that can’t be right.” Of course, she said that when it was Biden's turn in the barrel. We'll see if she flip flops now that it's Trump's turn.

Anyone know if they've drawn down the upcountry reservoirs yet?

Don't sugar coat it. Tell us how you really feel.

That's one hansum man there...

And for every one of them, there are probably 1000 that stole the drawings, research, and technology and are flooding the USA with cheap knock-offs and building advanced weapons systems back home.

I'd say something about dual pricing, but that's for another thread in a different sub-forum.

A federal judge. A low level functionary dictating to the elected President how to run the country. Looking forward to that one climbing the appeals ladder.

Which illegal act? The Constitution gives the President the authority and responsibility to decide who gets let in to the country.

There's tourists and there's pond scum.

That's gonna be a fun one to watch. Snopes says not enough evidence yet to evaluate the claim.

No more than a lot of the crap that Biden administration did. But you weren't complaining then. Sucks to be on the receiving end, eh?
