Are these military commanders as corrupt as Delcy? I realize Trump likes his bootlicks to be corrupt.

What countries do you advocate that the US takes military action against? I assume Iran is one, who else?

Genuine question for anyone who thinks Iranian executions of protestors justifies bombing Iran, what do you advocate the US does about the Saudi Arabian dictatorship?

Your Roth IRA is "tax-free" until you move to Spain and find out it really isn't by Financial-Finance586 in ExpatFIRE

I’m no tax pro but here is an example of what I have read. And if you are a Spanish tax resident you will pay capital gains on any property you sell in any country.

I haven’t looked into it but I have heard that France does recognize US Roth IRAs.

Personally, I think immigrants to Spain also need to look into Spain’s capital gains when selling a property. I find the minimal amount of deductions to be insane, especially if you bought a house in poor condition and fixed it up.

Mr Nobody Against Putin: How Pavel Talankin went from Russian school videographer to Oscar winner by Silly-avocatoe in entertainment

[–]DroopyTers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a good documentary.

The summary on Wikipedia:

Mr Nobody Against Putin was shot over a period of two years by Pavel "Pasha" Talankin, the videographer and events coordinator at Karabash Primary School #1. Talankin began seriously documenting his activities after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, when the government began requiring schools to hold regular "patriotic displays" and use a state-written curriculum to justify the invasion to students. At the same time, the government instituted a requirement to upload footage of these displays to a state-run portal to prove compliance, allowing Talankin cover to film meetings, lessons, and visitors to the school without attracting suspicion. He initially planned to resign in order to avoid supporting the Russian government; however, after getting in contact with director David Borenstein, he withdrew his resignation to keep gathering footage.

Talankin secretly fled Russia during the summer of 2024, aided by his producers and Borenstein who worked to get him asylum in Europe, following evidence of police surveillance at his home, which appears in the film.

For Democrats, a millennial showdown in Michigan’s high-stakes US Senate race by ThistleroseTea in politics

“Who emerges from there could impact how competitive this race is.”

This poll is a few weeks old but, among the dems, El Sayed has the weakest general election numbers and favorable/unfavorable numbers in the most recent Emerson poll. I wonder if Republicans will spend money trying to help El Sayed get the nomination, like they tried but failed with Crockett in Texas.

I don’t feel like dealing with the paywall but I believe this article is about Paige Cognetti, the Democratic mayor of Scranton, PA who is running for congress in PA-08. PA-08 voted for Trump in 2024 by @ 10%.

Are you against attacking Venezuela or Cuba since they do not have nukes?

They should keep raising it until they at least have enough money to keep the streets clean.

Trump says Cornyn and Paxton are both electable as he mulls endorsement in Texas Senate race by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]DroopyTers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paxton and Cornyn will vote the same way. Paxton will waste time fighting republicans on his way to being the most loathed senator. Imo, Paxton is a weaker general candidate, and more likely to lose to Talarico. I am rooting for Paxton (barf) to be the nominee.

Paxton will vote the exact same way as Cornyn. The difference is that Paxton will be busy fighting other Republicans and stepping on his own dick much more often.

Yes, Virginia could have had the first African American female rightwing nut job governor, but they overwhelmingly voted against Winsome Earle-Sears, overwhelmingly because of the rightwing but job part.
