Rebound

Jesus Christ, man… Putin was head of the Communist KGB of the USSR. That’s a big step up from being a college student. You’re defending Putin. Period. And it’s vile and disgusting. Putin is a violent threat to freedom. If Trump gets elected, remember that Putin’s free to invade Canada.

I cannot fathom why it is legal anywhere to submit fraudulent financial statements to lenders or investors, or why Kevin O’Leery would defend the practice, much less say that it’s a requirement of doing business anywhere.

Putin was a full Soviet Communist Party member when he was head of the USSR KGB. He traded that for stealing all the national assets of the nation and divvying them up with his oligarch buddies. Far from capitalist.

The didn’t “illegally change laws.” No proof of “widespread” fraud. Because there was proof of fraud, at least as often in Trump’s favor, like somebody casting his dead mother’s mail in ballot. Sure. They found scattered incidents here and there. They did a massive recount in Arizona and the vote difference was there, although it was in Biden’s favor. The results of the 2020 Presidential election have not been overturned in one single voting precinct anywhere in the United States. There are over 115,000 voting precincts in the United States.

Nope. Kevin said he can’t do business in New York if he’s subject to the same laws as Trump. Those are fraud laws, dude.

Did Biden’s dad get arrested at a KKK rally? Did Biden get fined for refusing to rent apartments to black people?

He did say it and you know it. No other way to say it: Donald Trump is an egregious liar, a fraud, a thief, and a rapist. Not “he sniffed a girl’s hair,” but “He raped a woman in a dressing room, proven in a court of law.” And now he is giving Ukraine over to Russia and telling Putin that he won’t interfere if Russia invades NATO members. Talk about the devil!

This guy’s a total fool. There are about 110,000 gas stations in America but he thinks we would need hundreds of millions of public vehicle chargers. Fleas have bigger brains than him.

He certainly did say that if his businesses are subjected to the same laws that Trump’s are, he can’t do business. Therefore, he obviously depends on fraud. And the judge in Trump’s case was very clear: He said that he could certainly see that there could be 20% discrepancies in property valuations, but not 300% and 1,000% discrepancies. Trump’s fraud was very blatant — he represented rent controlled, partially vacant properties as being fully vacant, non-rent controlled. He represented that his home in Trump Tower was 30,000 square feet when it was 10,000, and he said that Mar-a-Lago was worth $1 billion when it was worth $26 million. And these fraudulent lies occurred over and over, for years and years. Alina Habba now says Mar-a-Lago is worth $1.5 billion, which is absurd, so all Trump needs to do is sell it for $1.5 billion and then he can win his appeal. But nobody will pay $1.5 billion for a property worth $26 million. Mar-a-Lago is deed restricted as a private club. It cannot be subdivided or sold as luxury homes or whatever. So if Kevin O’Leery believes that he needs to lie to investors on that scale, then Kevin’s definitely saying he depends upon fraud in order to run his businesses.

That rule does not exist. The rule that does exist: “If one of us is attacked, we all defend him.” That rule has only been invoked once, when NATO went to Afghanistan in defense of the US after the September 11 attacks.

You don’t make any sense, and your point has nothing to do with this subject. The lead Congressional prosecution witness for Biden’s impeachment has been indicted for lying in the matter, and he’s confessed that he was fed the lie by the Russian intelligence service. IOW, Putin got the U.S. Congress to attempt an impeachment of the President of the U.S. pretty embarrassing, MAGA.

Mr. Smirnov was the GOP Congress’ number one witness against Joe Biden. Now he’s being charged with perjury in that testimony.

You don’t understand international relations, and you probably don’t know the purpose of the UN

Russian intelligence planted evidence which got the US Congress to plan an impeachment of the President of the United States. That’s how complicit MAGA is with Russia. “Alexander Smirnov was charged Thursday with making false statements to the FBI in relation to his testimony about Hunter Biden. Smirnov, who had worked as an FBI informant since 2010, previously told the agency that both President Biden and his son Hunter received $5 million bribes from the head of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. In a filing arguing for Smirnov to be detained pending trial, prosecutors wrote that Smirnov told investigators after his arrest that the claims originated from Russian intelligence.” Ibid

Hmm... front page articles of today's NY Times: China's Rush to Dominate AI Has a Twist: It Depends on US Technology Under intensifying scrutiny from US lawmakers, Silicon Valley venture capitalists have pulled back from China Russia could put a nuclear weapon into orbit this year, US warns allies A pro-war Russian military blogger died after he wrote the country's military pressured him to remove a post Boeing 737 Max official is out as questions linger on mishap Why Nikki Haley isn't dropping out

But of course, like everything else, your knowledge of this comes from listening to some MAGA speech. Can you tell us anything about the NY law that was violated? What it said? Can you tell us what it is that Trump was found guilty of doing wrong? I bet you don't know any of this. A criminal was found guilty of a crime, and you think he's innocent because you believe the criminal. You have no idea what the F you're talking about at all.

The NATO Charter does not obligate spending levels. Members made commitments, but the commitments are not required by the NATO Charter. The US has obscenely high military spending, but that money is not solely allocated to the defense of Western Europe by any means.

Oh, so sorry! I didn't realize I was speaking to a Lex Luthor-level genius! You must be the first person to ever figure out that when gas prices go UP, EV sales go UP, and when gas prices go DOWN, EV sales go DOWN. What would we have done without you? In other staggering news: When gas prices go UP, SUV sales go DOWN. When it is raining, umbrella sales go UP. When it snows, snow shovel sales go UP. They sell more show shovels in the North than in the South.

Because that’s the purpose of having a democracy.

What is the basis for Trump and MAGA’s love of Putin? Why support Putin over Ukraine? Why tell Putin to invade NATO nations? Thats not what a military ally does.

To be clear: Trump sued Hillary Clinton over this and the judge ordered Trump to pay Hillary and her co-defendants $1 million because the lawsuit was frivolous. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/20/1150298957/donald-trump-frivolous-lawsuit-fine-alina-habba-clinton-comey-middlebrooks

Thats because, the UN by any other name is still the UN. I’m the only person taking a part in this discussion. You have said absolutely nothing.

No, what I’m telling you is that your position is absurd. The UN is an organization composed of diplomatic representatives of each nation on Earth. Your criticism seems to be that there’s something corrupt about the organization itself, although you won’t say what that is. The actual problem with the UN is that different nations have very different perspectives, and indeed many of them, maybe all of them, have corrupt motivations. But those are the nations there are. There aren’t a set of “alternate nations.” If nations want to peacefully prevent war in, say, South America, the UN is the place they go.

Well GOSH…. Assemble a body with representatives of every national government in one place. THAT is the UN. What’s your thinking? Change its name? Move the building? How will that creare any change? Read a book on international relations sometime.

No, you simply judge written articles without reading them. Sign of a fool.
