  1. Yeah, any "wealth" is tied into his properties, which are backed by foreign investors (namely Russia) who don't mind making deals they'll lose money on because, well, they get other arrangements. The only thing Trump has been successful at is getting his name and face out there. That's the value of "Trump", a big gold placard that stands for 80s New York success, and dumb people eat that shit up.
  2. Please. Would love your thoughts as someone who is way more experienced in this area.
  3. There has very little distinguishable flavor other than rubbing alcohol/heat. Been sitting on it for months trying to get into it and had my sommelier sister in law try it to see what she thought and it's just a poor expression from this distiller. Especially at the price point.
  4. Would NOT recommend.
  5. Depends on the wind. Just as easily could go to Russia. This could help give an idea https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_Chernobyl_disaster
  6. Truth means nothing, might as well ride the wave
  7. It's always Russia, Russia, Russia with these folks /s https://www.foxnews.com/world/russia-uses-fbi-trump-raid-foment-discord-amplify-tensions-us "The Russians understand that Donald Trump is a hot button in America and they use their narratives to foment discord and amplify tensions in our country," Rebekah Koffler, a former DIA intelligence officer and the author of "Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America," told Fox News. The comments come after multiple Russian media outlets have expressed support for Trump in the days since the FBI raid on his home, with both Izvestia and RenTV arguing over the weekend that the raid was designed to prevent Trump from running for president in 2024.
  8. Well, and that. That'll break it all.
  9. The modern Civil War is in no way going to look like the previous Civil War. It'll be guerrilla warfare and be more like a terrorist organization with minimal representation, but enough to break whatever "normal" has been in politics. Much like mass shootings in schools has been normalized, some form of domestic terrorism will be normalized. But it'll be a civil war.
  10. Love the wide shot to capture his exaggerated body language.
  11. They train against Americans that they met decades ago. They have no idea how to fight a modern war against modern weaponry and tactics. Also, this isn't their war. Russian soldiers are giving up and this is their war. I went down the rabbit hole with this series a while ago and it proved illuminating on just how detached they are from fielding a real modern army.
  12. Vice did a good series on this year's ago
  13. Human centipede of grift
