Русский корабль - иди нахуй
We should absolutely not implement a no-fly zone. Whatever we do, the number one goal should be no nuclear war and the risk is too great. What Russia is doing in Ukraine is a travesty, but we’re making it painful (although not equitably painful) on them.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
For what its worth, I don't read Rubio's tweets as suggesting he thinks Putin will nuke the US. I think he's saying (based on earlier tweets) that Russia may use tactical nukes in Ukraine, which would obviously be a crazy escalation.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Take this for what it’s worth, but I have a family member with 20+ years in Navy intel services. He texted the family that he’d recommend getting 2 weeks of emergency supplies in case of a cyber attack against the grid. Pretty measured guy, so wanted to pass along. Scary times.

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Stupid question here, but it seems Putin is trying to do this with a limited force. What’s his next move if Ukraine makes this extra bloody and/or embarrassing to him? Seems like Ukraine is holding up well and it worries me how Putin could react to save face.

I mean, if there is literally one thing China cares about, it’s territorial integrity. Catching up on this thread now. All of this is obviously staged, but it won’t matter. Putin pretty clearly helped stage a bunch of apartment bombings (against Russian citizens) like 20 years ago that was even more ham handed and most Russians still bought it. They caught FSB agents in the act and everything.

Federal Judge Burned by Metadata
I'm paranoid about the metadata filters. I work at one of the big shops (I say that only because I presume we have paid for decent software) and sometimes our metadata filter will do weird things to the doc trying to clean a pdf or word file.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
Dumb question, but are our admins gumming up the cash cannons and letting A&M outspend us? I keep on reading A&M bought X and A&Y bought Y. Why aren't we buying all the five stars?

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
I quickly searched and didn't see an 8-K on the acquisition and/or see the merger agreement publicly. Not smart enough to understand the strategy behind taking the position the acquisition wasn't material, but I've seen behemoths file 8-K's on $100M acquisitions before. I'd guess that the business sold for lower than the parties wanted to advertise (could be totally wrong). But shout-out to Shannon and Bobby for negotiating deals where they could flip the same business three times using the same people.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
The constitution is like taxes. People feel passionately about both, are exposed to tiny tidbits of each (either through the news or on TurboTax), and develop passionate views about them, often totally wrong.

Totally agree with this. When we had McKinzie committed, it was like...where is he going to play? Almost no chance he stuck at linebacker (even in the SEC) at his size, and then you have to hope he can spin down to a DE.

NYC vs the Trump Crime Family Watch Thread
I'm sure the CFO and anyone who didn't report all this as income will get wacked, but I'm not sure how fringe benefits makes it back to Donald. Trump didn't force them to not report this as income on their tax returns, and he also didn't prepare (or likely even sign off on) the company's tax and informational returns. Maybe there is some "conspiracy to commit tax evasion" or other avenue to get at him, but that would require some documentary evidence he was involved in some material fashion and seems pretty unlikely. The risk here is with the company and the individuals in question. The DA is clearly trying to rattle their cage to get them to flip on Trump.

NYC vs the Trump Crime Family Watch Thread
There is no grey area here, and it is not the sort of thing that anyone who works in tax/benefits would miss or confuse as being non-taxable. If companies don't intend to sell or raise money (and thus, undergo diligence), they'll sometimes take aggressive tax positions banking on the risk of audit being low, but this isn't "aggressive" - it's just straight up illegal. The statute of limitations (e.g., how far they can go back and assert tax) is typically 3 years, except in cases of a substantial understatement of income, in which case it is 6 years. If fraud is proven, I think it is unlimited?

So did he tell Texas he's coming, or nah? That question seems like it would have come up since he's announcing so soon. What could he have said to have given them confidence without telling them he's coming? This recruitment has a super weird feel to it and we don't seem to win those.

NYC vs the Trump Crime Family Watch Thread
Well, of course, but these are negotiated documents, particularly the credit facilities that have the capacity to bankrupt a large company. Borrowers that banks will lend hundreds of millions of dollars to absolutely have some leverage.
-
NYC vs the Trump Crime Family Watch Thread
I think that twitter thread is a little overblown. Granted, the Trump Organization may not have had much leverage when the loans were negotiated (or it may have had a ton if the facilities were entered into when Trump was president), but my understanding is that these documents are generally pretty borrower favorable. No one wants to enter into a loan which can be called at the drop of a hat. I'm not sure what loan covenant this would even trip - I've never seen an agreement where an entity represents it hasn't been criminally charged. Perhaps compliance with laws? Doesn't that typically have an MAE qualifier? Plus, the lenders may not call the loan even if they could, because Trump can't pay them. Better to keep collecting the monthly payments that jeopardize the whole thing, I would think. I'm only vaguely familiar with credit facilities/loans, so someone please tell me if I'm way off base.
