Biden has made America look weak and that has signaled to Putin to take over Ukraine!
America is weak because we have a weak leader!
Seven senators — John Kennedy (R-LA), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), John Thune (R-SD), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) — and one House member, Kay Granger (R-TX), are all in Moscow over the Fourth of July holiday this week for talks with Russian lawmakers and officials, according to reporting from the Washington Post, NPR, and investigative reporter Julia Davis.

re: #1 b.d
its a helluva dilemma… I see the vapidness of the questions and I am astonished that they are as myopic as they are…. as if none of these courtiers have ever waited on a table, cleaned up a floor or done any yard work of any kind. Completely disassociated from the rest of us in regards to making a paycheck or making ends meet.
As much as I would like to blame them utterly, I think the people hiring these dupes are even worse, setting the narratives, asking questions that have no bearing, directing inquiries into oblivion completely off track.
The number of people who are high on their own supply appears to be endless and they think that their money will save them, well there’s lost of people who have money and every few years there’s a new crop of fresh faces willing to say anything in order to be in front of a camera.
The fact that the UKR leaders will not “confirm or deny” they did the strike is also - to me - an exclamation point.
It says to me “yeah, we did it, and when we get a chance we’ll do it again.”

re: #16 Mattand
I’m guessing HBL is “Hunter Biden Laptop”, and not “Humorous Balloon Llamas”?
I web surfing on my phone the other day, and I swear I saw CNN not only post a “The Hunter Biden story is more serious than you think” story, but it was practically a headline.
When I went back later to CNN on my actual computer, I could not find hide nor hair of it. Kinda wondering if I severely misread or straight-up imagined it, but giving credence to this Hunter Biden nonsense is right in CNN’s both sides wheelhouse.
The original headline was misleading: amp.cnn.com
The article was complaining about the double standard — and comparing the laptop story to the 2016 “butter emails” story — that the DOJ is more concerned about the Hunter nonsense than the real criminality of Trump. This is very concerning; I wonder how much of this is due to appointments under Trump to civil service positions.

Some kind of corruption — that Hunter is owned by the Chinese or the Ukrainians or whatever. The Washington Post includes the statement : “The MacBook itself is now in the hands of the FBI, which is investigating whether Hunter Biden properly reported income from business dealings.” Given certain FBI agents’ support of Trump back in 2016, I wouldn’t take any finding of theirs as gospel truth.
I don’t know if there is any reason to believe that there is a MacBook in FBI custody or that it ever belonged to Hunter.

Among the statements in the Washington Post article is one that is never resolved:
The security experts who examined the data for The Post struggled to reach definitive conclusions about the contents as a whole, including whether all of it originated from a single computer or could have been assembled from files from multiple computers and put on the portable drive.
Most of the contents that the WP examined were benign and none indicated any type of wrong doing. But there was a lot of data and trying to determine legitimacy of every document takes time.

I believe that the only thing they discovered to date is that Hunter owed taxes — and he now paid them. This is just another effort to manufacture dirt on the Democrats — so far there appears to be no “there” there, but the MAGAts and their media sources are in a feeding frenzy. And the MSM is doing its normal incompetent investigation in service of the RW disinformation campaign.
I’m not kidding about Santa Claus running for Young’s seat. Here’s his website:
Trump’s presidential diarist tells Jan. 6 committee White House officials provided less detail about his activities days before riot
cnn.com
Just days before the US Capitol riot, White House officials started providing fewer details about then-President Donald Trump’s calls and visits, the person in charge of compiling those activities for the official record told the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, according to two sources with knowledge of the probe.
The committee interviewed Trump’s presidential diarist roughly two weeks ago. That interview has not been previously reported, nor has the testimony describing a noticeable drop-off in information provided by Oval Office staff leading up to January 6.
re: #30 retired cynic
more:
Other witnesses also have told the panel there was significantly less information being shared with those involved in White House record-keeping during the same time period, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.
One source described how White House record-keepers appeared to be “iced out” in the days leading up to January 6.
“The last day that normal information was sent was the 4th,” said another source familiar with the investigation. “So, starting the 5th, the diarist didn’t receive the annotated calls and notes. This was a dramatic departure. That is all out of the ordinary.”
The White House diarist normally receives many streams of information, including the phone logs from the switchboard, the president’s movements from the US Secret Service and, critically, the notes from Oval Office operations, which detail calls, guests and activities.
But sources close to the panel’s investigation do not seem to know yet who, if anyone, directed a change in record-keeping or what the motivation behind that change was, raising questions about whether the lack of information was intentional or for staffing issues.
“It’s tough to know what that change was. Was it intentional?” one source said. “You can only keep track of something when you know what’s going on. When people don’t share things with you, whether that was intentional and who decided that, I think it’s a little murky at this point.” …
Regrettably, I agree with several commenters that this is a Ukrainian Humvee. The doors, the rear bumper, and the massive coil-spring front suspension are pretty distinctive. It appears to have taken a direct hit, possibly from medium artillery (122mm or 130mm), right around the driver’s door. Most of the aft 2/3 of the wreckage appears to have been scattered, then gathered up and returned to the point of impact to await scrapping.
Judging by the size and shape of the doors, together with the window size and protruding reinforced panes, most likely Ukr. Army humvee pic.twitter.com/CgKT8tWCHh

Yep. Exactly like the thumbsucker media pieces on why Americans think the economy sucks when it doesn’t; what could possibly be the reason? BECAUSE YOU ASSHOLES TOLD THEM THAT. And that means you as media are either failing or lying.
I’ve also determined, that if you take out all taxes from the price of gas in my area, it is still about 90 cents or so over the national average (which I’m assuming is with at least Federal gas taxes included).
It always seems to be this way and I’ve never found an explanation that explains away all of the difference. There’s nothing about California that should make it cost that much more per gallon. Yet again the AG won’t pursue a price gouging investigation. Technically there needs to be a state of emergency for the literal definition of it in California, but I see no reason we can’t blast the fact that it’s oil companies and not taxes causing it. I’m always amazed by the inability of wingnuts to do simple math.

re: #43 Jack Burton in Mactified Forshion
There is such a convenient and damning “reason” for high gas prices: namely that “Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline”, that they have no interest in even looking into any other causes.

There is such a convenient and damning “reason” for high gas prices: namely that “Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline”, that they have no interest in even looking into any other causes.
Well that’s what wingnuts use nationally as an excuse. I’m just talking about California. Ask any California wingnut, the “high prices” are California’s fault somehow on top of whatever bullshit they think of Biden and they all gripe about how they want to move to “Free America” blah blahblah rabble rabble and then never fucking go.
I know that some of them think the gas tax in the state is 2-3x what it actually is. I’ve literally heard people say with a straight face that the gas tax in California is $1.26/gallon (spoiler alert: it’s $0.51/gallon). As for those who actually do know this is bullshit, what about California makes them think this is somehow Sacramento libruhs fault? What is this secret cost that is the government’s doing and not oil companies price gouging because they can*?
*My theory on the extra $0.90 is just straight up gouging because they know “everyone knows” gas is always more expensive and tax is always higher in California and they think no one is doing the math because people are stupid.
re: #49 Jack Burton in Mactified Forshion

My experience with HP laptops is pretty dated, but circa 2015 their consumer-grade laptops were utter garbage, while the “business” models were fairly decent.
My company provided me with a HP Z Book, and it’s a tank - very solidly constructed. And more than enough USB-C/Thunderbolt connectors to choke a horse - I use the USB-C to drive my two 4K monitors.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Former U.S. women’s national team star goalkeeper Hope Solo was arrested after she was found passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle in North Carolina with her 2-year-old twins inside, police said.A police report said Solo was arrested on Thursday in a shopping center parking lot in Winston-Salem and charged with driving while impaired, resisting a public officer and misdemeanor child abuse. She has been released from jail and has a court date of June 28, the report indicated.
According to an arrest warrant, a passerby noticed Solo passed out behind the steering wheel for more than an hour with the vehicle’s engine running and the two children in the backseat. A responding officer could smell alcohol, and the warrant said that Solo refused a field sobriety test and her blood was drawn instead.

We are about 3 years away from Republican Party political officers being required on the BOD of most major companies in the US.
We are about 3 years away from Republican Party political staff being required on all school boards and school management in the US, both public and private.
We are about 3 years away from all media outlets being required to staff Republican Party vetted reporters, editors, and directors and all content going through Republican Party filtering.
We are about 3 years away from the Constitution, as we know it currently, going away.
Most Americans either don’t get it yet, or loudly applaud this reality coming towards us like a freight train.

re: #68 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
Anyone bought a cheap-ish laptop recently? I’m kind of in the market for one and I’ve been out of the repair business long enough that I don’t know what inherently sucks these days. Online reviews are a little hard to assess right now because it seems that a lot of people are reviewing their experience with Windows 11 rather than the hardware, and apparently Windows 11 sucks. I don’t care about that as I’ll be running Linux with Win10 in a virtual machine as needed. My only absolute must-haves are 1080p native resolution and an Ethernet port.
1. Every version of Windows seems to be worse than every version of windows prior, but everyone seems to love their current version. Which means most of them don’t know crap. Windows 11 on the front, is some minor changes to 10. If you don’t like where the app tabs are in the task bar, you can change that.
2. I still personally hate HPs because they add a bunch of their own software (I also hate their desktops because they use nonstandard components). For the most part, there’s not a lot of difference between laptops at the low end because they’re all actually made by the same company.

this is just so hyperbolic. Russia is losing this war, and losing it badly, with us doing exactly what we’re doing. Sure, it would be delightful if Europe hadn’t gotten itself completely entwined with Russian oil and gas, but even with that, Russia is failing badly. We could do with a good deal less “what is the West doing? When is the West going to realize Russia must be defeated?” We’ve realized that, and we’re defeating them.

With last night’s additional tranche of $300M, the Biden administration has now provided $2.3 billion in (just equipment) aid to Ukraine.

IIRC (though that’s always a debatable proposition), I have been hearing variations on this theme for years, wrt to European energy policy, and the usual responses were mostly along the lines of pooh-poohing the fears. Mostly on the theory that the Europeans were much too committed/invested in increasing/securing their (cheap and/or easily-available) energy supplies to the East, and/or that Russia was the too-dependent party: that they would never risk their precious petro-export sector by too much adventurism.

Germany, Turkey, Italy, Belarus, and France received most of that natural gas.
(Turkey and Belarus?)
Lists without numbers can be deceptive.
France imported 25.8 billion M3 of gas in 2020.
2.6 billion M3 of that came from Russia.
(This is pipeline gas. France also imported a bunch of liquified gas, mostly from Algeria).
Italy does import quite a lot more, 28.5 billion M3 out of some 60 billion M3 total.
Germany imports about 40 billion M3 of Russian gas.
So I think I’ll stick to my guns. It’s mostly a German problem (although Italy is worse off than I knew).

1. not babies
2. not energy for profit
one way of disposing of all sorts of medical waste is incineration
- Hospitals produce more than 5 million tons of waste each year. Hospitals generate over 29 pounds of waste per bed per day. A waste plan is critical for any sustainability programming. Every hospital is challenged by the complexity of health care waste and limited recycling and management options.
- with the improvement of autoclaving techniques which makes it highly effective against viruses, only 15 percent of medical waste has to be incinerated
so how much energy are your ‘bodies’ creating?

he’s not going to poison ukraine. Moscow is 450 miles away, and if the wind is blowing right, it all comes back over russian territory.

re: #68 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce
Anyone bought a cheap-ish laptop recently? I’m kind of in the market for one and I’ve been out of the repair business long enough that I don’t know what inherently sucks these days. Online reviews are a little hard to assess right now because it seems that a lot of people are reviewing their experience with Windows 11 rather than the hardware, and apparently Windows 11 sucks. I don’t care about that as I’ll be running Linux with Win10 in a virtual machine as needed. My only absolute must-haves are 1080p native resolution and an Ethernet port.
After much research, I ended up buying a Samsung 13” laptop with touch screen, 16G RAM, I7 Intel processor, and a 512 SSD hard drive at Best Buy for about $800. That’s about $200-300 less than I could find at Dell, HP, or Lenovo. Very light weight. Very responsive. I spend the last couple days downloading software apps, and files off of my old, decrepit HP. So far, I am happy with it. It does have Windows 11 Home which, while a little different from 10, is working just fine for me. The only couple of issues I have with it is that I can’t seem to get my right hand fingers onto the correct keys on the home row initially, causing me to have to delete and retype. Hopefully, muscle memory will soon learn. The other issue, which isn’t a fault of Samsung, is the 13” screen. I would have preferred 14 or 15 but 1) they were more expensive and 2) much heavier.
YMMV.

Welcome, Mrs. Hatchling.
I’m on my HP laptop, Pavilion g6. Some of you probably know how old that is. I don’t. I’m an extremely low-demand user. It’s my first laptop.

But they might poison, for example, the negotiators at that meeting in Turkey…
Putin doesn’t care how many Russians die as long as he can be triumphant, even if it’s over a dead nation. Not that much radiation will spread by air, but poisoning roads and local areas could lead to dead Ukrainians.

re: #183 Eclectic Cyborg
A very interesting observation.
re: #168 Dangerman
1. not babies
2. not energy for profitone way of disposing of all sorts of medical waste is incineration
- Hospitals produce more than 5 million tons of waste each year. Hospitals generate over 29 pounds of waste per bed per day. A waste plan is critical for any sustainability programming. Every hospital is challenged by the complexity of health care waste and limited recycling and management options.
- with the improvement of autoclaving techniques which makes it highly effective against viruses, only 15 percent of medical waste has to be incinerated
so how much energy are your ‘bodies’ creating?
You can’t explain any of that to them, they’ve invested their lives into fetuses are people, but us born really are not, unless we believe like them.
re: #150 John Hughes
(Turkey and Belarus?)
Lists without numbers can be deceptive.
France imported 25.8 billion M3 of gas in 2020.
2.6 billion M3 of that came from Russia.
(This is pipeline gas. France also imported a bunch of liquified gas, mostly from Algeria).
Italy does import quite a lot more, 28.5 billion M3 out of some 60 billion M3 total.
Germany imports about 40 billion M3 of Russian gas.
So I think I’ll stick to my guns. It’s mostly a German problem (although Italy is worse off than I knew).
So, about ten percent for France. The thing about natural gas pipelines is they make delivery nearly real-time. And that can be an issue is it suddenly cuts off, like it did the Snowpocalypse that happened here in Texas last February.

I have the slightly older 8GB version I bought a couple of years ago. I like it. And the m.2 drive makes all the difference. I was a big proponent of more ram until it they made those.

What a pleasure to have you join us. WELCOME
Am just listening to Ali on Thursday night’s Rachel, and was shocked to hear that, according to the Ukrainians at Chernobyl, the Russian soldiers were unaware of the 1986 disaster and did not understand the danger they were exposing themselves to. But then I thought about young Americans — and most would be similarly ignorant of anything that happened before they were born, except for devotees of the Lost Cause.

re: #183 Eclectic Cyborg
We are about 3 years away from this madness to come raging back into the White House, whether it is an incompetent boob like Trump or a full-on Nazi with a vendetta like Desantis.
Major networks know it, evidence provided by “liberal” CBS hiring Trump toadies for future “access” (survival) and NYT Editorials constantly hand-wringing the plight of middle America racists who feature an overwhelming sense of entitlement.

There are stocks (European governments can be stupid, but they’re not Texans FFS). Although, since we’re near the end of the heating season they’re low.
Looks like Putin has partly, but not totally, avoided Arthur Scargill’s biggest error.
