If Swift is concerned for her safety she can take a commercial airline like all us common folk do. Of all the things in the world for me to be concerned about, the complaints from a very rich person that they feel unsafe using their polluting private transport is not one of them. I'd be happy if ALL private jets were BANNED as a threat to the world's environment.

The retiring age is set at an age when people are recognised to be less able to function well enough, yet two geriatrics are allowed to compete for leader of the free world. Is this insanity? I doubt the founding fathers ever envisaged a situation like this ( most people died long before 80 back then ), or they would have put an age limit in.

I don't get your point. Both sides soldiers have been surrendering, which is why we have threads about prisoner exchanges. Russia has nukes, ergo Russia can not be defeated by Ukraine. If NATO gets involved it's MAD. Short of Gorbachev being resurrected to power and giving up, IMO eventually Ukraine will be dragged to the negotiating table. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but eventually.

I am aware of the "facts" and was not commenting on them, but only that the oil industry probably doesn't give a rat's bottom if they have to put the price up to buy their product. As for the actual situation, as usual the US has ignored the simple solution- forcing the israelis to stop killing innocent people in Gaza- and chosen the "make weapons manufacturers rich" option. What a vile world we live in!

GOP delivers death blow to bipartisan border bill

Your contention is dependent on Ukraine actually being able to "win", when IMO that is a pipe dream, and was never going to happen. It's been great for arms dealers though. Any deaths in Ukraine IMO are on Biden for supporting Ukraine militarily instead of not mediating a deal. The situation should never have reached an invasion. The catastrophe is IMO entirely the west's fault for supporting a proxy war. Zelensky IMO was a fool for imagining that the west would support him indefinitely, as he is finding out now, the hard way, after thousands of deaths and much destruction of infrastructure. IMO cutting aid to Ukraine to force them to negotiate is the only way to end this war that should never have happened. -
I enjoyed his attacks on the MSM, and I'm sure most in the audience did as well. They were never going to support him anyway, so nothing to lose. I used to watch CNN and other anti Trump channels occasionally, and I couldn't believe how bad they were in general, not just about Trump, though he seemed to be their main topic to talk about. I think CNN's ratings went down after Trump lost and they stopped talking about him. His go at the presidency has probably saved them.

IMO you'd make a brilliant second hand car salesman, with your dogged determination to pronounce Biden fit for another four years when it's so obvious that he isn't. There is a saying "promoted above competence", and I am modifying it to "elected past their sell by date". Whatever the truth about Biden, he is just too old. Everyone deteriorates with age- it's inevitable.
