  1. Probably still in the basement when he fled there are some unarmed intruder jumped the fence once. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-moved-trump-to-secure-bunker-friday-after-protesters-breached-temporary-fences-near-white-house-complex/2020/06/03/e4ae77c2-a5b9-11ea-b619-3f9133bbb482_story.html
  2. Cold comfort for Russia. They have to boost production to meet income requirements.
  3. Explain all you like. Until you can put up a cogent argument as to why that's not true I'll stick to my well considered convictions.
  4. I just did some quick calculations and figured that it would hold approximately 18,000 cows ????
  5. The Saudis have become used to living high on the hog and are friendly with Russia and anyone sympathetic with Russia (did you see what I did there?). They can see that oil demand is weakening and are desperate to maintain oil prices. Oil prices didn't exactly moon after this announcement.
  6. No there isn't. Germany has full stock piles of natural gas and LPG and have you see the prices for nat gas lately? If not, they are at long term lows. The fact that Germany can feel comfortable in removing these last power stations bolsters my point.
  7. Sure not but it isn't really a big deal. Every country including the US still trades with Russia.
  8. Right, "there's good people on both sides". The republicans are all about racism. That's their sole interest in life. Every day we see evidence that they have no policy other than dog whistling to racists. The MTG story yesterday was just another case in point. Trump threatening black prosecutors yet another. It isn't both sides, the left aren't very often racist. You don't have to be racist to vote for republicans but most racists do. I'm not trolling, it;s time to call out these scum every time they show their hand. It's also why they're getting thrashed in the elections and polls.
  9. With a really high rank rental price for taxi riders I imagine. Fares near Central are always more. And in songkran traffic I suspect the quote would be higher than normal. Since they didn't want to walk the short distance I'm guessing there was a fat fee as well.
  10. It'll be less money soon. Oil is facing demand destruction due to renewables and an upcoming recession will see lower demand as well.
  11. Turnbull, of the conservative Liberal Party, railed against Murdoch for empowering former President Donald Trump and radicalizing his supporters into storming the U.S. Capitol — and opened up about how Murdoch, who also runs right-wing outlets in his country, worked to remove him from power. "Once he saw that Trump could win, he thought, 'I can have a guy in the White House that will take my calls and suck up to me and flatter me,'" added Turnbull. Yes, it is ideology, I think his son is more generally ideological and right wing than Rupert. https://www.rawstory.com/malcolm-turnbull-murdoch/
  12. A recession is coming. We won't see it until the bond yield inversion goes away. Don't touch copper. discalimer: I ain't rich.
  13. After 2 years of blaming Biden for it rising I guess it doesn't work for the front page.
  14. I'm not interested in your original post, only your deflection that abortions are "expensive medical procedures" which is not true in the main. Surgical abortions are mainly carried out when there are complications.
  15. I never knew the premier league was a taxpayer funded government agency. Live and learn I guess. Jokes aside, nobody objects to anybody worshipping. The salient issue is the separation of the church and state.
  16. Most abortions are not "expensive medical procedures". They are drug induced miscarriages. The result of this law will be a return to coathangers.
  17. Of course that information could not have been known to MTG when she made her statement. Oh, wait....
  18. That's unlikely. CPI and PPI inflation are still over 5%, well above the target 2%. We may never see 2% again. The market is pricing in another 0.25% in May and that may be followed by a pause but a cut is some months away. They'd rather see a little more pain now than a lot if they get it wrong and rates continue to rise. Despite recent turmoil within the banking sector, markets still expect the U.S. central bank to raise interest rates during its next two-day meeting on May 2-3, with 60.7% of traders pricing in a 25-basis-point hike. source: above link to Fox.
  19. Of course I don't know but it's reasonable to assume this was a last straw situation.
  20. It isn't just about collecting. It's the abhorrent nazi aficionado attitude that Thomas associates with.
