Re: What are you reading now? (Chapter 2)

I'm about a third of the way into it, but Holland's preface has a pretty good summation of what he's on about. How was it that a cult inspired by the execution of an obscure criminal in a long-vanquished empire came to exercise such a transformative and enduring influence in the world? To attempt a...

Re: Disasters disasters! Bring them here. Not yours, the news.

Biden's getting criticised on my local newspaper forum for wanting to use federal money to deal with the bridge collapse. When I explained the potential economic impact of disruption of imports through that port, a guy told me "the bridge is not the port and obviously not the only way to get to the ...

Re: All Things Trump: the story continues...

Will he need to sell? If he can borrow against his shares, he may be able to meet the bond. Here's some speculation from the NYT : But because Mr. Trump holds enormous sway over the company with his stake of more than 60 percent, and because his brand is critical to Trump Media’s success, he could t...

Re: All Things Trump: the story continues...

Poor Trump, he was sued in New York State. It's not one of the 25 or so states that have passed laws to cap the amounts of appeal bonds in the name of "tort reform." Of course, it makes it easier for corporations and and other well-heeled defendents to chisel down the judgement amount on appeal. Whi...

https://www.threads.net/@katiephang/post/C4qXIf6x4AT/?xmt=AQGz4lZEQ1TChG-ndqcCkKyv9BkBgzaucjptOZkId2-jJg Just a reminder: Trump can still appeal the judgment.

Re: The Thread of Democrats

Senile Biden? TJU49Q3G9zU Yeah, it's funny. I read how badly confused and incoherent he was in some speech or press conference, but when I go watch the video it's just Biden being Biden. A gaff or two, but otherwise alert and making sense. The Deep State must have altered the video, right? :{D
