I can't stand what's going on. How is it possible to make shit up to prosecute someone on? This is Stalin's show trials. How were the very charges themselves not appealed and thrown out?

I don't doubt but would like to see where those figures came from. I'd add mothers with Munchausen's by proxy, too. That's not in the cluster B group but should be.

Press Bureau of the SVR of Russia, April 9 04/09/2024 The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation reports that the United States is resorting to increasingly desperate methods in its attempts to turn the tide on the Ukrainian theater of operations, replenishing the ranks of the demoralized soldiers of the Armed Forces with a multi-national rabble, prone to armed violence. According to data received by the SVR of Russia, to this end, US PMCs led by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the US FBI have begun recruiting Mexican and Colombian drug cartels serving sentences in American prisons to participate in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of the degrading Kiev regime. The first batch of thugs is planned to be thrown into the war zone in the summer of this year. Gangging will consist of several hundred Mexicans and Colombians. In case of consent to a “commandment”, they are promised a complete amnesty in the expectation that they will never return. If a pilot project to replenish the ranks of the Armed Forces by Latin American coal miners succeeds, then the program for recruiting flayer will be continued and even expanded at the expense of criminals from other countries in which a difficult criminal situation is noted. At the same time, the recruitment of foreign criminal elements into the ranks of the Ukrainian army is not without problems. Negotiations with drug lords are difficult, without the blessing of which no gangster will dare to cooperate with the American authorities, fearing for his life and loved ones. The gang leaders tend to sell their scumbags more expensively, jeopardizing the fulfillment of the American plan. Of course, the prospect of another influx of foreign "soldiers of good luck" from among the serial killers, drug addicts and rapists to the long-suffering lands of the Russian world is alarming. However, the plans of the Americans in this way to get a tactical advantage on the battlefield are doomed to failure. Administration J. Biden actually signs his powerlessness and once again demonstrates the failure of the Kiev regime she feeds on.

What that also illustrates is that juveniles (I'd start at 14) who commit violent crime always need to be tried as adults. Except for white females, 15-24 is the most violent age range. Every time I see some violent crime report where there's any debate about whether some teenager should be tried as and adult it pisses me off because the sooner they're locked up, the better.

I was not aware that John Roberts is a "conservative". Amy Coney Barrett either.

I had to look up the difference: According to the Federation of American Scientists, a ballistic missile is one that has a ballistic trajectory over most of its flight path. What that means is that once the missile burns up the fuel that propels it, the missile keeps moving, the same way that a bullet does after it's been fired out of a gun. Once the fuel is gone, the missile's direction can't be altered. It follows a path determined by the speed of its launch and the force of gravity trying to pull it back toward the Earth's surface. Eventually, gravity guides the missile — and its payload, which might be an explosive, a chemical or biological weapon, or a nuclear device — down toward its target. Ballistic missiles are different than cruise missiles. Cruise missiles are self-propelled for the majority of their time in the air, flying in a relatively straight line and at lower altitudes thanks to a rocket propellant. Think of a ballistic missile's flight path as a large arc up and back down again, while that of a cruise missile — fired from a warship, for instance — is closer to a straight line. https://science.howstuffworks.com/difference-ballistic-cruise-missile.htm

That was also reported on Fox News so I'd guess it's legit.

Some years ago, I heard the lesbian feminist, Camille Paglia, say that pro choice people needed to admit that abortion is killing. She wasn't as cold about it as Maher but was saying that people who tried denying that fact are lying to themselves and others.

I thought this thread asked "what do you think tanks actually do". I thought, hmm, never gave it much thought but would say roll around and shoot shit while providing cover to the guys inside. With further thought, I'd add that they also crush/roll over stuff like cars and whatnot and knock down obstacles.

I'd say the DEI kicked in when she got into college, then law school, then admitted to the BAR. IOW, every step of the way. We see this over and over and over again. These black women are all corrupt, stupid, sociopaths who have the skids greased for them. Look at thing who's on the SCOTUS! My God, she thinks the 1st amendment hamstrings government, refused to define a woman and made excuses for a pedophile defendant, calling his victim his peer! Yet, she got confirmed because black female or DEI and no other reason.

Norm would if he were still around. Shame because he would have a lot to say right now and I would have loved to see how it made heads explode.

Argentina (or Milei) needs or wants NATO more than NATO needs Argentina - maybe. If so, remaining quiet about intentions to grab the Falklands would seem like the better move because once Argentina is in (whatever the association and "in" means), NATO would not want to lose them over British territory - maybe. Then again, you might be right because of what's going on with Ukraine and Russia and NATO taking the position against old territory being taken back. They may firmly come down on the side of the Brits and oppose Milei on that. In that case, you're right that he can use it as a bargaining chip to give NATO access to Argentina, if NATO wants it. I guarantee, though, the UK will under no circumstances give up the Falklands. I agree that Hong Kong was very, very valuable but Hong Kong was overwhelmingly populated Chinese people. The Falklands are as British as England. Prince Andrew fought that in war and there are families alive who lost family member servicemen in that war. Plus, they had that had referendum affirming the people there want to remain under British control. Maybe when everyone touched by that war is dead, it might change hands, but not before that. I find it dismissive of the will of the people who actually live on those islands that Milei would be entertaining this idea and I'd like to know what he's thinking. Is it just because proximity or does he have some kind of plans he envisions for a base or mining or whatever. Right now, there are penguins and other cool wildlife that inhabit those islands. I hope it stays that way, however it turns out.

Agreed. Awesome human with his head screwed on right and no better comedian.

"In his book, O.J. Simpson says that he would have taken a bullet or stood in front of a train for Nicole. Man, I’m gonna tell you, that is some bad luck, when the one guy who would have died for you kills you. You don’t get worse luck than that." -Norm MacDonald

No, because I don't know what you mean. When you ask what she's done, do you mean bills written and or passed? She's very much doing something by going after Johnson so what else could you mean?

Define "done".

No excuse. He should have gone on record defending the 4th amendment and given a speech calling out those who voted to gut it.

Yes, but there was a lease on Hong Kong and it expired. I don't think war with China over it was an option. They did go to war over the Falklands. It seems like a strange thing for Milei to get fixated on and if he's thinking of making an alliance with NATO to kind of protect Argentina is any Argentine move to try and take them back, he should shut up about it and secure the NATO alliance first :)

Better than the feds who routinely "discover" trillions missing.

Russia has no history, like the US, of liberty or the early US republic. It's so vastly different with a mind blowing history and a set of problems entirely different from anything our own country has faced. When the USSR collapsed, the Russian people, in a system of communism up until that point, were looted by opportunistic predators who were fast ruining anything that was left and establishing a Jewish Mafia state. Putin saved Russia and it's prosperous and a lot freer than it's ever been in it's entire history. In a system like ours (or Europe's), it would quickly devolve back into communism, imo. There is no way in hell the UK will ever cede those islands. No way. It's not like some other commonwealth state like, say, in the Caribbean. The Falklands are all Brits. That makes a huge difference. I see Milei's desires on it akin to to Russia trying to get Alaska back.
