At what level do they talk incessantly about their veganism?

Because they want leverage on those rare earths. If others are providing aid, the us loses that leverage. Glad Europe is not playing along. Fuck trump’s US.

Money answers to neither faith nor reason and holds sway over the govt and it’s population.

Guess we know where the second million Russian troop deaths will come from then.

Extortion?

What you can accomplish given a fixed set of resources. Not to be confused with efficiency, which is how much those resources can accomplish in a given amount of time.

If he backs down, but he and his buddies make billions, did he actually lose?

It’s not just the magas - they are a lost cause. It’s also the people who can’t be buggered to educate themselves about the system of government, who believe the president can wave his hand and make a war disappear and change the military industrial complex that is the US. Who whine and hold the entire country ransom to their virtue signalling. Who think their feelings are more important than the collective well being.

Do they have tariffs on second hand goods from Asia being imported to sell to poor Americans who cant afford local?

Weird. Not like pcb fabs haven’t been doing that for ages. And not necessarily the solder flood type chip mounts either.

So… Tariffs aren’t considered weaponizing finances?

Don’t forget hell blame the Dems for the govt expenditure later.

Only the long form one will do

Uh… which one? There’s so many I’ve lost track. I only seem to remember dog killer, handyqueen and simian goblin.

That’ll show em! Trump was ANGRY at Russia these few days!

Good. In my country, a former PM who embezzled 1.6B is on the verge of being set free, with little in the way of jail time, while a construction worker who stole a loaf of bread got 40 years. Wtf.

Edit: I got the bread story wrong. Not the 1.6B.

Is this one of those ‘ignore the ranting bully’ type situations?

Better yet, have an agreement with the neighbours that, if one horn goes off, all of them go off. Best way to get rid of pesky salesmen, Mormons and vice presidents.

Edit: spelling
