*Deleted post edited out* I supposed that if Trump stop breaking the laws and behave like other decent law abiding Presidents, there will be no need to spend tax payers money to investigate him. Honestly the less he is in the spotlight, the better for the people and the country.

Rattling NATO unity is the strategic pursuit of Putin who has grandeur ambition of annexing more territories and restoring the Russia past glory. NATO is the cornerstone of global security after WW2 and Trump tried to destroy the alliance and even threatened to pull out of Nato. Any rational educated person can see Trump’s actions and policies benefit only Putin. Trump’s withholding military aids that was approved by Congress was against the law that specifically vested Congress with the power of the purse. He should be investigated by the House committee for this criminal act. Cater, Ford, Trump and Biden didn’t start any open wars since WW2. Putin has already started his fascist ambition with the annexation of Crimea and 4 Ukrainian territories that have no global recognition except North Korea. Astonishing that you seem to buy into Putin’s propaganda and misinformation. Just where is your loyalty.

The unrealized losses do affect banks when the decreased equity levels could trigger restrictions on their borrowing and also loans. Smaller banks will be likely to be affected more than their bigger counterparts. I think some impact have been felt in the slowdown in the housing sector. A unpleasant medicine to tame inflation by the FED.

SVB Financial Group has been involved in the Asian markets since the early 1990s and in China since 1999. They have been building relationships with technology companies, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists operating in Asia. This will have global contingent effect but limited. However the contingent in US has not fully realized. Banks are not required to immediately recognize paper losses on bonds, allowing some of the risks to slumber on their books. Many banks could be sitting on unrealized losses because rates have moved up so rapidly.

Here are some facts of the 4 annexed regions. The annexation occured after internationally unrecognised referendums held days prior when organized by the Russian occupation administration. The annexation is unrecognized by the international community with the exception of North Korea.

I shudder to think what will happen to Ukraine if Trump won his second term. With no leader to rally western alliance to give Zelensky military aids, Ukraine will be overrun in days with heavy casualties and refugees crisis in Europe. Biden’s leadership with allies is the only reason Putin’s aggression has been halted. Trump is no peace broker but an ally of Putin with his deep ties with Kremlin and will do Putin bidding to further his fascist ambition in Europe.

As of now, Lake is the forerunner of the crazy squad. I was rooting for Greene as the craziest loony.

One term President can’t be great.

Don't think they care as they are performing to their captive minority audience for the purpose of grifting and partisan loyalty that help them win in the electoral college. GOP is simply not interested in developing popular agenda. They can survive just by catering to their base. Trump has shown that unpopular candidate with little interest in public policy can still win. America politics is an embarrassment.

Not a general election but still GOP underperformed in 2022 House election especially in seats that have candidates with extreme views on abortion and the 2020 election.

Climate change, tax cuts, abortion, election denialism, Ukraine war, vaccine, mask mandate etc. GOP is an unpopular party that will never win if the election is based on popular votes. Their own hope to to win by the the medieval relic electoral college which is also unpopular among general population.

Republicans policies and actions are toxically unpopular and yet they continue to pushed past the boundaries of acceptability by the general public and even some conservatives. It's like a death wish.

Spot on mate. He was played by Trump when he dangled his pardon to stop him from cooperating with federal investigators. Cooperation that would have exposed Trump's wrongdoing. He should just keep grifting the Qanon Magalites and keep his head low and not get into another court case and expose unpleasant information.

It will be peotic justice when Trump's people turn on Tucker after this news and boycott his clown show and give reason for Murdoch to force him to resign. That will make my day.

Concur with post#1. Reside in Bangkok and applied my driver license in Pathumthani. Less waiting time.

Having an ex-Prime Minister as adviser whose tenure was often referred as the "Fifth Asia Tiger"following the heels of the superperforming "Four Tigers" is actually not a bad situation. Just look at how the 2 coup governments have dragged Thailand backwards economically to appreciate that Thailand almost became an Asia Tiger. That moniker has long past unfortunately.

Doesn’t not matter whether it’s Trump or DeSantis for 2024. Trump has no broad base support and Desantis doesnt have nation wide appeal. None of them can win 2024. Unfortunately there are no other suitable candidates from team crazy while team normal are shut out. GOP has themselves to blame for creating their monster.

Good news. It's now at least 1,000 people arrested. They will be charged for the Jan 6 riot. More than half of those defendents have pleaded guilty to crimes. DOJ has sufficient evidence to lay charges on the other half. So stand by for more indictments and prison time news.

Well one buffon didnt think the way you do and even call for this buffoon to be given the Pulitzer. Í hope the family of Sicknick will file a defamation claim against the sleaze-slinging Carlson and Fox.

What really happen on this day is that 840 people have been arrested for storming the US Capitol building on Jan 6 with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. 185 individuals have received criminal sentences. Shaman Chansley whom Tucker described as toured guided into the building is behind bar for 41 months. Mathew Greene far right member of the Proud Boys who was the first wave of the capitol attack faces 25 years in prison. The crem dela crem must surely be the Jack Smith's grand jury moving at light speed investigate the chief instigator of the attack Donald Trump with the subpoena of Mike Pence. Meanwhile Tucker Carlson will continue to lie and grift from his gullible Fox audience.

Haven't America suffered enough of embarrassment from Trump to have a convict running for Presidency. Even third world countries don't have such cringy record. I hope he will step aside if convicted and display an iota of decency which is long overdue.

No it’s not a mental problem. The American Psychiatric Association has revised its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and it no longer lists being transgender as a mental disorder, among other changes announced this past weekend.

Trump never in his life been a gracious loser. Fear his crazy mob and not whether he gets financial backing.

In China, they also keep such matters private too. Drove them to self medication and surgery. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/09/health/china-transgender-amnesty-report-intl/index.html

Bet you can’t tell the difference between Communist, Socialist and Liberal Left.
