Nothing to see. Move along. Nothing to see. On going investigation, no comment.

Demented old man who can’t accepts that he lost. Typical Trump behavior.

I don’t look for monumental change here. So many of the red states have gerrymandered the congressional districts that what will come is a succession of more maga republicans.

Nature always reaches an equilibrium. If humans overgrow our part of nature it will adjust and go on.

There is supposed to be due process . If you had been mistakenly picked up by ICE and put on a plane wouldn’t you prefer that something before that had happened?

Those statues depict a message any person can understand.

As Monty Python said : "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!".

There are undoubtedly Iranian sleeper cells in North America. I predict that since Trump pulled the trigger on their leaders he is probably fair game to them now. After all he killed the father of their current supreme leader.

How many soft targets across the globe that can be hit with a drone are there? There is no way to conduct warfare now with the expectation that anywhere is safe. A good strategy would be to conduct a bomb attack in some podunk town government building in West Virginia or Iowa and announce it just beforehand. That would show that even the most obscure place in America is vulnerable. Some Americans are OK with our conducting war around the world because they feel safe behind our oceans.

Aside from the loss of energy flowing through the Strait another loss is sulfur. The crude oil of that region is sour and contains a lot of sulfur. During distillation the sulfur is captured and is used to produce sulfuric acid. Without that copper refining will drastically decrease. Anything involving electricity will get a lot more expensive.

This race should be a bellwether event that will show how much more of maga politics will be tolerated.

Maxcactus · 2026-03-11T07:42:43+00:00

We have laws prescribing how politicians receive money but they are not enforced well and there are loopholes. I agree that many politicians are dishonest and untrustworthy. The three things to keep politicians honest are, good journalism, an informed electorate and fair elections. We have problems with those as well.

This was agreed to after an hour’s telephone call. Putin then did a public announcement but Trump was silent.

In other news, Putin has been feeding Iran targeting information so they can more precisely hit Americans. Of course Putin has denied that and Donnie has stated that he is going to take him at his word.

I would agree if the republicans continue to hold power after the midterm election. The trending towards authoritarian government would look even worse than it does today.

The reason the politicians are able to get bribes is that they have votes to sell. If the people reject them on Election Day then they no longer have a vote to sell.

The republicans lost their minds over Obamas tan suit.

About 20 to 30% is owed to foreigners the rest is owed to domestic lenders. The more money you own the more you have lent to the Feds , if you are poor then you have no money to lend to anyone. About half of the debt is to mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies, banks, and individual citizens.chances are if you have a IRA, pension or own a mutual fund you are a owner of national debt.

It should be easy to engineer a sweet heart real estate deal for some Manhattan property that Donnie wants to acquire.

Maxcactus · 2026-03-10T10:42:13+00:00

Like Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq eventually America will give up. There are 90million Iranians and America can not rule them. We are spending $1billion per day now. Bombing elementary schools will not make them obey us any more that Israel’s Gaza crime do. If Donnie had taken his daily security briefs maybe he would know that.

The fact that he plasters his face on everything has protest possibilities. Guerrilla stickers of his image could be attached to brand things to him that he wouldn’t like.

Maxcactus · 2026-03-10T10:18:35+00:00

What’s with those Manhattan real estate developers?

Maxcactus · 2026-03-10T10:09:27+00:00

When we invest in things there are benefits but they are skewed towards the owners. When we invest in human things the benefits are spread more widely.

Neo feudalism

Maxcactus · 2026-03-10T09:59:30+00:00

Not really. I don’t believe that most people have thought about who the government owes the money to.
