Donald Trump seems to think he's losing. Would the Republican Party survive his defeat?
So an opinion piece from a nobody that offers ZERO evidence that Trump thinks he's losing. Thanks for wasting my time. -

Viktor Bout Returns to Arms Dealing: Broker of Death in New Houthi Deal
If it had not been Griner it would have been some other American held by Russia as a bargaining chip. Griner received support from the Biden administration because she’s an American citizen, I understand this might be difficult for you to accept given the British Government now’s next to sweet FA to help its citizens in difficulty overseas. -

Surprised no reaction from BYD owners on this forum
I Whilst I largely agree with you, I suspect Khun was referring to buying new. I think “car enthusiasts” may still want icev in 2050 largely as showroom pieces but no one will be buying second hand icev for commuting/transport. For starters fuel availability will be reducing and probably within 10 yrs. -

Viktor Bout Returns to Arms Dealing: Broker of Death in New Houthi Deal
Well, the US arrested him under somewhat shady circumstances to begin with. They sent ATF agents posing as Columbian rebels to Thailand to meet Bout. "They" wanted to buy anti-aircraft missiles and the US (and ONLY the US) had a law against selling those things and trumped up some charges of Bout being an accessory to "killing Americans". Bout shows up in Thailand and gets arrested. Russia protested and even Thailand realized they shouldn't have allowed it to happen (as he hadn't broken any Thai laws) but they claimed he had "visa issues". Then the Americans tried to do an end run around the Thai gov't because they thought the Thais might release him and deport him back to Mother Russia (they were only holding him on visa related charges after all). So the Americans, assisted by some "friends" in the Thai police - snuck Bout out of his jail cell and tried to get him to the airport where the Americans (as in, probably the CIA) had a plane waiting to smuggle him out of the country. But they were caught and Bout was sent back to jail. And then, for whatever reason, Thailand gave into America's demands and extradited him to the US. And then an American female basketball player gets caught smuggling drugs through a Russian airport. But ! She's "black" and "LGBTQ" and it's the "evil Russians" so everyone feels sorry for her and forgets WHY she was arrested in the first place. All the public saw was a poor (lol) black LGBTQ woman being held in a Russian prison. Remember that ? It's like there was a news story in the media every weeks about her. And finally the US had to make a deal to free her. So they left even MORE deserving Americans in Russian prison and traded her for Bout just to appease the public. And the drug smuggler got a hero's welcome when she got back to the USA. Probably the first time that's ever happened. -

Non US citizens receive mailers with Vote for harris/ walz, campaign slogans
Nothing burger. This is part of the toxic brew the maga fascists are working. When Trump (hopefully) loses they're setting the table to accuse massive votes by illegals (which won't actually happen) and then try to reject electors, making it impossible for her to reach 270, then sending it to congress, where the math if already fixed to choose Trump. Anyone not getting this now isn't paying attention. They are very organized! -

As an Australian I am not proud of what he brought to the world. Hope the more normal kids win their court case and steer the empire in a new direction. https://fortune.com/2024/10/02/billionaire-murdoch-heirs-trust-battle-succession/- 1

Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?
It is almost as if the hardcore MAGA devotees are wedded to the insanity now, and questioning the extremism, the conspiracies, and Trump and his daily loads of BS, feels like a betrayal to them, so they have to embrace non-truths, and silly and ridiculous narratives in order to remain faithful. Is that not the very definition of a cult?- 3
