That could be one of the reason for the traffic drop. We’ve been working on it for a couple days now.

I was thinking more like the woke mind virus. The Steele Dossier was pretty typical of intel reports: 1) Actual intel, 2) Some reasonable assumptions, 3) Some stretch assumptions.

Liberals are so brainwashed that they acted like the Steel Dossier never existed after there was signs of Clinton making up these accusations. It's like they all are saying "Ah, Crap!!! We didn't get the Orange man with that, so let's move onto the next made up accusation and never speak of this again. That stuff about Hillary being involved is just Russian dis-information."

I just don't know why people are so comfortable with our government giving Ukraine billions of dollars without receipts on where that money is going. Instead of giving them money, give them what they are using that money to buy.

Pentagon Wants to Feed Troops ‘Experimental’ Lab-Grown Meat to ‘Reduce CO2 Footprint’

A Pentagon-funded company is seeking proposals to feed America’s soldiers lab-grown meat in a bid to “reduce the CO2 footprint” at Defense Department outposts.

Does everyone at the Pentagon take a short bus to work? I actually feel there's some gene editing of humans perspective of this fake meat. Doesn't sit right.

Russia and China have been interfering in our elections for decades.

And we return the favor. Our/Hillay Clinton's interference in Russian elections served to motivate Putin to undermine Clinton in 2016.

Unfortunately, the conservatives are equally brainwashed and because of the origins of the Steel Dossier and the fact that was bad intel within the Dossier, they ignore the fact that were indeed ties between TrumpCo and Russian interference in the election. Conservatives easily dismissed the fact that the Senate (a body of lawmakers, many of whom are lawyers and former prosecutors) forbid witnesses at a trial. As f'd up as the cases being brought against Trump in NY are, lets not forget the Senate's major miscarriage of justice.

Ukraine is sitting on a ton of mineral resources (allegedly).

We do both. Ukraine obviously has debts to service and all govt's need money operate. And yes of course a bunch of that money is getting shiphoned off.

"In 2022, US President Joe Biden approved a new national defense posture that leaves the door open to a possible nuclear first strike by Washington. He broke a pledge made during his 2020 presidential campaign to narrow the potential uses of America’s nuclear arsenal, instead doing the opposite."

I don't know that we should "credit" Biden with anything. I think he's just an old confused man doing whatever his handlers say he should do.

I think you're missing the larger point...

Not far off, not at all

"Some worry about catastrophic but far off risks to humanity because of its potential for creating new bioweapons..."

You can count me as one of us that is 100% against our money going to help anyone before it helps us. Personally, I wouldn't give shit to anyone until we got some respect back from the world. Ain't gonna happen with this lot in the White House though.
