  1. @PTINS another data point and somebody mentioned this in the comments: "Even if they where selling at 70 a barrel it was already a massive deficit budget. They will have to cover most of this with high interest debt raised from Russian banks. Russia debt servicing is going to weigh down future Russian budgets"
  2. Germany really ramping things up and clearly understanding what's at stake. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Germany will extend the military aid for Ukraine for the year 2026 by an additional €3 billion. This makes an overall support of €11.5 billion, a new record. Joint operations in drone production has been announced, as well. Additionally, Ukraine will be supplied with vast amounts of AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles from German army stocks. Somebody is not happy.
  3. We're going to see something out of them next month when they truly realize how fucked a lot more Americans are, in an election year no less.
  4. Trump has definitely lost control of the Senate.
  5. Say what you want about Trump, but he knows how to rally his base and get them out. It's why he had that little TV show for 14 fucking years, among other things - he knows how to play to people and how to use the limelight and loved the spotlight like nobody else in the last 40 years. Vance knows how to play to...Silicon Valley. He was way too uncomfortable when the spotlight was on him. They want more money.
  6. I wouldn't bet money against MTG and Boebert. @RDCanecutter has already regaled us with tales of what would happen in a bar fight with those two.
  7. @immamac Can we get a thread title change to war on oil and Venezuela or something?
  8. Yeah, Rubio is young and knows Vance will be tainted by Trump in 2028 and will lose. Although if this little war with Venezuela is the cluster fuck we are expecting, Rubio is going to be fully tainted as well.
  9. Yeah, I wanted to go up from 2x16 to 2x32 because of some stuff my son is doing and I'm fucked. We've got a small form factor PC, so only 2 memory slots. Just going to upgrade the CPU from a Ryzen 3700x to a Ryzen 7 5700 and video card from an RTX 2060 to something newer. CPU upgrade is not much but will reduce some stuttering we get in certain games/apps (all 8 cores are on one chip on the 5700 versus 2 chips on the 3700x, and played around on a friend's 5700 and it was smoother) and even bumping up just 3 generations on the video will help tremendously. I can also repurpose the old CPU and video to a second PC we are building for my daughter.
  10. And by the way, for those who are curious about whether it's real or not (because you don't want to visit his social media site), Rubio was retweeting this:
  11. At least the racists aren't hiding it anymore and we can see them have their shit plastered all over the internet.
  12. What part of it? I didn't see that, but only skimmed it, and will read it later.
  13. Headline photo for the VF article
  14. One of the writers or somebody associated with the film wouldn't confirm or deny if it's set within the Close Encounters of the Third Kind universe.
  15. At least he has a unique name and that and his face are plastered on the internet for future employers, dates, etc. to find.
  16. She's in it for herself. She knows she was being recorded. Trump's cabinet members aren't really denying she said what she said because it's true and/or they know she was recorded. If this is some 4D chess bullshit, I don't see how it helps him since these interviews were over a long period of time, and they couldn't time VF's release of the article with anything the administration is doing.
  17. I don't think this is related to Venezuela, but reading his social media, you really can't tell. And we are putting a blockade of sorts "around" Venezuela.
  18. I notice that none of them are really denying what she said, and even her post says things were taken out of context. And we know they have tapes (I doubt VF pushes all of that out there unless they had tapes). Next day or two will be interesting.
  19. At least we stopped pretending it was about drugs and are openly stating it's about oil. Not sure what land they stole, or should I say "Land" but yeah...
