    A lot of it, yeah.

    I do think the Mar A Lago indictment is nigh upon us.

    I think Meadows is more a 1/6 witness than a documents witness, but probably need to nail down his testimony regarding the documents, if any, before indicting.

    The "target letter" thing is odd.  AFAIK, they usually come with a grand jury subpoena and inform the witness whether they are a target of the investigation or merely a witness, so they can invoked the 5th, etc.  Who knows, though.

    The target letter - could it mean that he is already indicted under seal, with the general idea to put pressure on resistant witnesses in unrelated criminal matters?  Basically a shot across the bow to the rest of the criminally involved trump world to let them know he's going down for this, you are involved with more, why stick your neck out for a guy already getting convicted?

    No. He's pretty much a badass. But he's part of the Azov Battalion, so he ends up getting entwined with the neo Nazi propaganda that group gets associated with. He still may be in his grandmother's basement right now, but it's without an eye and with a prosthetic left arm suffered in combat, neither of which stopped him from serving in Mariupol in the Azovstal Steelworks, until their surrender. 

    Just for the record, I was joking, i hope he's right.  If the Bradley's are in play, it's going to be a fucking slaughter.

    I want to be on the Manhattan jury. Book deal, here I come!

    I live in the burbs in Atlanta, in a R district.   If there is a change of venue in any of the upcoming Georgia stuff I fully expect to one of the trials to held here.  I think there will be lots of cases involving lots of different people, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if I got summoned for one of them.  I would do my best to be impartial as prescribed as the duty, but during voir dire, I would have to disclose that I certainly have opinions.  

    If it were to be the big one, I would think at the end there would certainly be paid interviews after the fact.  If it happens, my signal to all of you that is me will be pseudonym George Santos Longhorn.

    There’s not a thing I support about Russia. 

    My comments were strictly about the governments, and I should have not made the comments.

    I was a bit harsh in my response and apologize, sometimes things get lost in translation, and I have certainly been guilty of having something read one way and not have meant it in that manner.

  5. You know, if we have given them ATACMS, which there are rumors that covertly we have, in about a week, or whenever the flooding subsides, destroying the reservoirs in Crimea would be crippling to them.  Their naval vessels I presume have desalination abilities (though the are Russian, so they probably only partly work), but that would in no way give them the ability to sustain an army; and quite frankly no army can subsist without fresh water.  

    The shit side to that idea would be that there are civilians caught behind the lines that would obviously suffer tremendously under such a scenario.  Perhaps under this sort of idea the civilians could somehow be covertly warned and instructed to start hiding and rationing.   I'm sure the Russians could get some level of fresh water in, but in all likelihood not nearly enough to maintain a credible defense force.  

    It's an idea, probably a bad one.

    "Whoever did it" indeed.

    This is a flat out demolition job. The amount of damage to the infrastructure is catastrophic. It's a purposeful sabotage done by the people in control of the area for maximum effect. 

    I'll say this, too. The chances of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant surviving this war just went downhill. While a big jump in terms of consequences, it's not an insurmountable jump. 

    Good news/bad news on the Nuclear Plant

    In the event that the fuel can't be cooled, in theory (oh boy), the containment building should withstand the impending meltdown (yikes, when the meltdown is something you are trying to downplay)

    The best we could hope for is that the containment buildings hold and whatever radiation does escape is minimal and won't require a safe containment a la Chernobyl.  Just years of exterior concrete maintenance and diligence.  

    Of course that assumes it all works right under these potentially extreme conditions, which is a really big if.

    Sorry for the dumb question but is that going to drown a bunch of citizens?

    From what I've read, the Ukrainian side of the river will not have catastrophic flooding, and for that matter, I can't believe too many civilians weren't evacuated due to shelling anyway.  Now on the Russian side of the river, I really don't know.  I know that it was less densely populated prior to all this to begin with, and I would assume that many locals were forced to relocate by the Russians.  However, anyone left is likely in big trouble.
