Trump's wife is an immigrant.
Trump's mother was an immigrant.
Defense attorneys got these tapes months ago.
Why is that strange?
That's a pretty common thing.
The idea is that any new that might affect the stock price is released after trading and that way everybody has the info at the start of the next trading day.
Because Donald Trump spent the campaign saying people should vote in person.
This is was known before the election.
It's not a coincidence. It's the law. Some states start processing mail ballots as soon as they come in. Other states wait until election day including three big ones.
In Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan — officials aren’t allowed to start processing early ballots until on or just before Election Day itself,
and it was pretty much predicted before the election in 2020.
Trump talked down voting by mail.

got to change the law in Lousiana. Only state left that doesn't have paper ballots.
They have no idea who these voters voted for.
This is what the Republican said in his new lawsuit.
Nickelson outlines other irregularities in his lawsuit, including an allegation six voters listed as having voted by mail were, according to public records, deceased as of election day.
He is not claiming they were dead when the cast their votes. But they were dead by election day. The voted by mail, so these could be legal votes cast but then these 6 voters died AFTER casting a legal vote, but BEFORE election day.
These could be 6 votes for him. Or six votes against him. or any other combination
Leading Report is a BS site.
Um, is not discovery a form of fishing?
Criminal discovery is about evidence that the prosecutors actually possesses
The judge mentioned "identified evidence." It sounds like prosecutors don't possess this evidence.

Gorbechev's economic reforms (because that's what many Putin included opposed) are akin to what Joe Biden and the Democrats are trying to do right now. And it didn't work out for Gorbechev. In fact it hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union. Of course that's a good thing, but it didn't exactly feel good for the regular people that lived there day to day who really had no alternative.
The USSR was in pretty terrible shape when Gorbachev came. It was called the era of stagnation. It needed not just economic reform, but also political reform. It needed to be less oppressive, but basically what Gorbachev found out is repression was the only thing holding the USSR together. If you argued for some reform, the people, especially outside Russia, especially in the conquered republics would want REAL reform and unless you were willing to send the tanks back in, it wouldn't hold.
Gorbechev's reforms went WAY beyond economic.
Perestroika
This referred to the restructuring of the political and economic systems. Gorbachev tried to decentralize decision making in the USSR.
Glasnost
This was the big one. Glasnost referred to openness and transparency and was an easing of Soviet censorship. It let citizens actually criticize the government and suggest solutions. How bad was censorship, the USSR had been jamming foreign radio broadcasts for 40 years, they banned photocopiers. They actually begun to discuss the crimes of Stalin. A reporter who was there said
Glasnost had opened up the system, allowed it to be deeply examined, and produced an information revolution that “swept across Soviet existence, touching every nook of daily life, battering hoary myths and lies, and ultimately eroding the foundations of Soviet power,”
Demokratizatsiya
They actually had nationwide elections in 1989. Where people could select from multiple candidates (within the Communist Party) Yeltsin got elected over a the Communist Party's endorsed candidate. And this election led to an actual opposition block in their congress for the first time ever
Let's not pretend the Gorbechev was some Saint. He was firmly behind saving the Soviet Union is some form or fashion. Yeltzin was the one to undermine everything Gorbechev tried to accomplish between 1989 and 1991.
I don't think I was. Let's not pretend Yeltsin is a saint either.
If Israel gets drawn into a regional conflict with some of its neighbors, along with Iran, I expect most US support to go there.
This is why Russia has been hosting meetings with Hamas over the past couple of years.
First of all, if you're going to quote the man, at least get the context correct. The context of that comment is that the breakup of the Soviet Union happened and over night many Soviet Union citizens found themselves displaced in countries not formally part of the Soviet Union anymore. Try to imagine your papers/ your driver's license that say you live in whatever state or country, suddenly not mattering. Having no record anymore that you work someplace, that you can't pay your bills
The Soviet Union was a corrupt communist dictatorship that was literally ruled from Moscow by the successors to the Bolsheviks, a totalitarian Marxist-Leninist state famous for its gulags, command economy and lack of liberty, a dictatorship, Putin happily served as a KGB officer. It's not surprise many of citizens wanted to be free of it. Half the population was outside Russia.
**Displaced? **
If you lived and worked in Latvia or Uzbekistan, you still lived and worked in Latavia or Uzbekistan.
The USSR remember? The R stood for Republics, it was supposed to be a federation of individual republics. Millions of Soviet Citizens were in different countries before the Soviets took them over. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia were invaded and taken over in WWII. Eastern Poland was taken over when the Soviets and the Nazis divvied up Poland
It wasn't like someone shook an etch-a-sketch and everything was just erased. People who lived in Minsk and Vilnius and Baku and Odessa still used their old papers. The papers weren't magic, they didn't make people forget the USSR just broke up.
Notice that Putin called it a "geopolitical" catastrophe, an not a humanitarian one. He was upset by Russia's loss of power. And I mentioned he wanted to undo this catastrophe by all his others actions specifically celebrating and rehabilitating Stalin and the czars.
And it didn't happen overnight. It was the culmination of years of reforms and calls for liberation. There was a law passed on that allowed Republics to secede from the Soviet Union. Where people could vote to leave.
The KGB that Putin served that tried a coup against Gorbachev to prevent his reforms.
Artillery Shells
Its speculation at best.
Yeah, it's speculation. But the logic is sound and like you I found various counts of shells used. I have seen higher figures than 10 Million in 2022, so it didn't seem off base.
It's also based on analysis, of changes in how many Russia is firing. The Wagner mutiny came after weeks of begging for more ammo.
Um, who is this guy? Why should I pay attention to him?
also after 15 secs of video he requres a login.
I'll begin with this first.
I don't see peace negotiations even being suggested, or the terms of Ukraine's admittance into NATO being changed if Russia is losing, or even close to losing
Russia is not close to losing, but there are very far from winning as well. That's my point. The idea that they have turned the tide is not borne out by the past few months.
Stoltenberg himself admitted to why this all started here.
Um, this puts it 100% on Putin. That's basically extortion. Why would you think that would be accepted?
Russia actually has not broken any actual law,
What would you consider invading Crimea in 2014 and the rest of Ukraine in 2022? I consider that sketchy.
Russia has been walking a tightrope in accomplishing its stated goals with the special military operation, and not going so far as to invite direct involvement of NATO or the US, yet. Russia has been fighting the war mainly with Reservists and Wagner.
This is not because Russia is weak. It's what the US has done throughout the war on terror.
Russia achieved its stated SMO goals with the Donbass,
This sounds like rationalization after the fact. I believe Putin's goal has been to take of Ukraine. His dream goal is to undo what he has called the the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th Century the breakup of the Soviet Union. Putin realized in 2022 he could not take Ukraine and pivoted to a secondary goal.
Also you seem to be forgetting what American units fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. We went in pretty heavy.
The airport battle I mentioned involved
41st Combined Arms Army 31st Guards Air Assault Brigade 141st Motorized Regiment
The 6 week battle of Kiev in 2022 involved
37th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade Russian Airborne Forces 104th Guards Air Assault Regiment
These guys also fought in Feb 2022 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division 4th Guards Tank Division 47th Guards Tank Division 27th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade
So I don't think this is all reservists.
I found the Reuters article you mentioned
They have the capacity to boost production to over 2 million rounds, and have signaled that it's doing just that for 2024. But as Reuters would have you believe, this is still "short" of Russia's needs. But, how does Reuters know that? They don't.
I found the Reuters article you mentioned. This is how they get to that conclusion. it seems pretty logical.
"If you expended 10 million rounds last year and you're in the middle of a fight and you can only produce 1 to 2 million rounds a year, I don't think that's a very strong position."
You seem to be missing a lot of context of these negotiations. They were not close to an agreement. There was no agreed to plan that Ukraine backed out of. They were still very far apart. Ukraine would only agreed to not join NATO if they were security agreements and Russia wouldn't agree to those.
The negotiations only came up after Moscow's initial plan for a quick strike decapitation failed.
They invaded from the East and also from Belarus in the North. The Convoy from the north failed. The plan to take the airport at Hostomel failed.
Taking the airport was a key objective. It was where the main attack force for Kyiv was going to land. In one day the Russians realized they weren't going to be able bring more forces to the airport because of the losses they suffered the first day. Hundreds of Russian paratroopers were said to be killed.
This is the background to negotiations. Russia's Plan A failed.
You could see the peace talks as a way for Russia to regroup and try again in 2023.
Russia wanted Ukraine not to join NATO and Ukraine wanted security agreements Russia would invade again. Russia rejected this.
Russia says Ukraine presented 'unacceptable' draft peace deal Reuters April 7, 202210:31 AM EDT https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-ukraine-presented-unacceptable-draft-peace-deal-2022-04-07/
More info on what the negotiator said https://meduza.io/en/news/2023/11/25/head-of-ukraine-delegation-at-spring-2022-peace-talks-confirms-russian-delegation-offered-to-end-war-if-ukraine-abandoned-nato-aspirations-says-leaders-had-no-trust-russia-would-follow-through
“This could only be done if there were security guarantees,” said Arakhamia in an interview with 1+1 host Nataliia Moseichuk. “We couldn’t just sign something, step back, [have] everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and then [have Russia] come in more prepared — because they [invaded], in fact, unprepared for such resistance. Therefore, we could only work when there was a hundred percent certainty that it wouldn’t happen a second time. And there is no such certainty.”
Furthermore, as Russia abandoned its plans to take Kyiv, what they did in Bucha was revealed. They found a mass grave behind a church, they found bodies of people with their hands behind their back executed at short range.
as mentioned in the article.
While both sides expressed readiness for a meeting between Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, discussions abruptly halted when Russian troops retreated from Kyiv. The withdrawal exposed the extent of apparent war crimes committed, including the Bucha massacre.
There is legal standing for a tribunal.
This is massively misunderstood by people.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/802 the military justice code says quite clearly who can be subject to military justice. Almost all civilians and their crimes are ruled out.
However, McCain was retired military and thus this could apply to him
(4)Retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay.
It's still illegal for a secret trial and execution though.
Drone warfare and counterwarfare is a big part of this war. Preparing the battlefield now means controlling drones with Jammers.
Ukraine has established bridgeposts across the Dnipro river near Kherson in the past month
Before successfully crossing the Dnipro River to establish a bridgehead on the river’s otherwise Russian-occupied left bank, Ukrainian forces spent weeks preparing the battlefield in southern Kherson Oblast.
Electronically preparing, that is.
Setting up mobile radio-jamming units while targeting the Russians’ own jammers, the Ukrainians created a dead zone for Russian drones over the settlement of Krynky—the ultimate locus of their river-crossing operation—and established local air-superiority.
Now the Russians are learning from the Ukrainians’ jam-first strategy. More and more, Russian assault groups are traveling under the electromagnetic umbrella of backpack radio-jammers.
Electronic warfare is going to be a big part of warfare going forward.
Developers are working on jam-proof drones that either switch to autonomous flight while their radio links are disrupted, or rapidly hop across radio frequencies to keep ahead of jamming attempts.
Other issues going on.
Russia is getting supplies from North Korea and Iran
US says North Korea delivered 1,000 containers of equipment and munitions to Russia for Ukraine war A surge in rail traffic on North Korea-Russia border suggests arms supply to Russia, think tank says
The recent North Korea satellite launch was said to be with Russian help exchanged for the weapons.
Russia is using Iranian made drones to attack Ukraine and are building a plant in Russia to manufacture them
Satellite imagery shows progress in the construction in Russia of a plant that will mass produce Iranian-designed kamikaze drones that Moscow is expected to target against Ukrainian energy facilities, a research organization said on Monday.
Despite the headway, neither the United States nor its allies have imposed sanctions on the plant's owner, JSC Alabuga, or its associated companies, said the Institute for Science and International Security report.
Moscow just did a drone attack against Kyiv and Kviy followed with a drone attack against Moscow.
Ukraine overnight tried to attack Moscow with dozens of drones, Russian authorities said Sunday, just a day after Ukrainian officials reported that Russia had launched its most intense drone attack on Kyiv since the beginning of its full-scale war in 2022.
Russia wanted to take over all of Ukraine. There's no doubt about that.
They tried to take the capital, invading through Belarus. They failed. Russian realizes they can't achieve that anymore. They would love to seal the borders as they are right now because they can't achieve their full aims and this war is very costly. They are getting supplied by North Korea and Iran.
As for what ethnic Russians want, I think it would be interesting to see what their opinions are after two years of Russians invasion.
Q said lots of stuff.
Disinfo is necessary remember?
Q is telling us right there, the drops are not to be read like the Bible.
TRUST SESSIONS. TRUST WRAY. TRUST KANSAS. TRUST HOROWITZ. TRUST HUBER. Q
Do we still think we can trust these folks?
Regarding McCain. "Putting him down" will be illegal. It would be the type of extrajudicial killing common in South American banana republic dictatorships. A secret trial itself would be illegal, it's a straight up violation of the Constitution. And I don't think it could be kept secret.
Furthermore did they wait for him to get brain cancer to do this? His powerful family and friends went along with this? did a team sneak out to Arizona to kill him? They was never a time when he went missing, so when would the tribunal and the putting down occur.
And the Surrender part?
And set to part?
What are basing this claim on?
