Feel like I'm giving a history lesson to a retard. Maybe Google the Danzig or war ultimatum. Lmao. Your "history" is complete Revisionism and has little to no basis in reality. poland and germany had a common enemy, the ussr. instead poland followed the empty guarantees of britain, and refused to negotiate. |

Hmm the guy who messes up words, or the guy begging Russia to attack European allies, and desires to be a dictator... Tough choice.... That's the goal of the dishonesty- trick the truly stupid to vote for Biden. But the joke is on them, the truly stupid are already voting Biden. Witness: At least Biden won't give Russia free reign to attack our NATO allies if they won't pay the same amount of money to their defenses that we do. Doesn't understand NATO or alliances. Worse, raced to the front of the line of stupid to get violated be hacktivists. If "brain fog" is all you have against Biden, then I will take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays over Trump. "brain fog"? You have "brain fog", Biden has declining cognitive failure. He can't complete five (5) minutes of daily life without a support team taking care of him. |

The Nato chief, Jens Stoltenberg, has said any attack on the western military alliance would be met with a “united and forceful response”, after Donald Trump invited Russia to attack member countries that he perceived as not meeting their financial obligations. Stoltenberg said in a statement: “Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the US, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk. I expect that regardless of who wins the presidential election, the US will remain a strong and committed Nato ally.” He said Nato remained “ready and able to defend all allies”. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/11/nato-chief-jens-stoltenberg-promises-forceful-response-to-attack-as-trump-remarks-dismissedOf course the NATO chief will defend NATO. But in war, words have a diminishing impact. (most) NATO countries have faced budget pressures that accelerated under the EU. It is the perfect storm of 1. social program commitments, NATO commitments, and 3. EU budget requirements. Something had to give in. NATO nation gov'ts opted to cut back on their NATO contributions and rely on the US blood and treasure to provide their security. Trump told them the free ride was over. Now it's debatable whether NATO is better and stronger when everyone honors their commitments or if the US should simply provide free protection. Make your case.  Secretary General thanks President Trump for his commitment to NATONATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg thanked US President Donald Trump for his strong leadership and commitment to the Alliance in a meeting at the White House on Thursday (14 November 2019). Mr. Stoltenberg highlighted rising defence investment across European Allies and Canada, amounting to more than $100 billion extra in recent years, adding that Allies are determined to keep up the momentum. www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_170796.htm?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ncl_amplify&utm_campaign=240211-maga_inc_sunday_note_february_11_2024It's a campaign and Trump is bragging about making NATO stronger. Dishonest hacks are trying (successfully?) to gaslight weak minds into changing the NATO is better result into "go Putin! invade Holland!!" It's unclear how dumb someone must be to fall for it..... |

The electric car business is brutal. They are necessarily much more expensive and suffer severe limitations. (believe in science) Even major successful auto makers are getting killed in the market. Worse, they sold on the "promise ", now that enough are on the road the promise has become real world experience. That makes them an even tougher sell. It takes elite vision and management to survive... |

During and post COVID most didn't have much inventory then, very minimal...the Tesla lot was full. |

At least Biden won't give Russia free reign to attack our NATO allies if they won't pay the same amount of money to their defenses that we do. I think the amount is a percent not the same as us. If "brain fog" is all you have against Biden, then I will take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays over Trump. I don't hold brain fog against Biden. I feel for him. Dementia is terrible and it progresses. I've watched it personally for the last six years. I guarantee you in five years from now Biden will be way way worse and its sad. I see it in his eyes. Sometimes he has the same glossy look as my mom. I agree that there should be an age limit for Presidents and members of Congress. This country deserves better than decrepit 80 year olds making laws that they will never live long enough to see the results of. However, if what we have now is what we got for the immediate future, the right choice between the two old dudes is and always will be Biden, regardless of who is making the actual decisions, because the alternative is Trump. Not sure I agree on the age limit but cognitive tests might be warranted in my opinion. My moms boyfriend is 92 and sharp as a whip. He plays golf three times a week, tennis twice a week and goes to the gym three times a week, drives, and is very smart. I would not challenge him to a fight or a math competition. Your response actually makes me sad that it has come down to this and people are comfortable with it. You would think both parties would want to do better. I didn't vote for either Biden or Trump in 2020 but if it comes down to the two this time, I will seriously have to consider Trump. I agree he's an asshole and his things like his asking where is Nikki's husband is cringe worthy, but, the years he was president were way better than now. Especially foreign situations. Not even going to mention the border as I shouldn't have to. |

...and to think some in the public question why some of these inner city businesses are closing. Who is raising questions? Target blamed theft and violence for 9 store closures. Crime is higher at locations it kept open nearby www.cnbc.com/2023/12/19/target-store-closures-theft-and-crime-higher-nearby.html'On Sept. 26, Target set off a national firestorm when it said it would close nine stores in four states because theft and organized retail crime had made them too dangerous to run.' |

Great question. Ive suggested this before. We are playing with fire and we will keep getting burned. People who can't understand what sex they are and spend huge amounts of money to mutilate their body are by definition mentally unstable. Worse, evil people with cruel intentions encourage them. Instead of helping them get the treatment they need, they preach any act to help them is nothing but hate and civilization is wanting them dead. We are taking the mentally troubled and militarizing them. More than a half dozen of these attacks recently are committed by confused and troubled individuals. Yet we are intent on making the problem worse. Party media buries the motivation. Evil people ramp up the militarization of the sick and our (D)OJ is (and I'm not making this up) focusing its resources on white supremacists. We need a new and realistic approach to this problem, sooner is better than later. |

My question was sarcastic. Everybody (mostly) understands the reasons why In fact, WSJ weekend has separate articles on Oakland and San Francisco, and what is getting done to recover these cities I think the good news is that people are waking up to the causes of city demise and are now working to reverse it. It’s a shame it’s gotten to this point, and that we lost the lessons learned. Regardless of what you think of Guiliani, he taught the world how to build a safe city |

I think you’re right. They protected him from speaking off the cuff for years and the other day they let reporters hit him with questions about his mental state and memory. Which he fucked up because he has no idea what’s going on. Beginning of the end. |

Last thing I saw, they hadn't identified who fired the round that hit him. They did report that the shooter brought the kid for the purpose of getting him killed. |
