The legal theory offered by Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Trump makes the claim that any effort by a political campaign to keep derogatory information about their candidate from becoming public constitutes “fraud against the voters” and is thus a crime.
The US has only spent about $30B actual new military equipment for Ukraine. There was an additional $5.1B in humanitarian assistance given as well.
When you hear numbers like $80B, it’s important to realize most of that was outdated surplus hardware that would have been more expensive to scrap than it was to ship to Ukraine.
Adding up all Ukraine related spending, you will find that it only represents about 4% of overall defense spending since February of 2022. A drop in the bucket.
$35B is an absolute bargain for being able to battle-test all kinds of technologies and tactics, while simultaneously defrocking Russia as a serious adversary.

We just lost the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
I do not see a path to 270 in 2024.
Put someone some popular on the ballot, it mobilizes so many voters, they won't be able to fake it for the guy streaming from his basement.
Absent of that, GOP has < 10% chance.

Members of the Press speak their mind to undercover James O’Keefe at Trump arraignment in NYC. #OMG
“Whatever it takes”
“Whatever reason he is in prison is good for me”
“Are you a Trump supporter? No? OK so then I can say I’m with CNN…”

#Russia / #Ukraine 🇷🇺🇺🇦: A quite noteable photo of a mortar unit of #Ukrainian Armed Forces (#ЗСУ).
The combatants use a rare 120mm M971 Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM) produced in #Israel 🇮🇱; which contains 20+ M85/M87 submunitions.

Did you know that there are dozens of congressmen and senators who have prostitutes on monthly retainer by making them staffers? They often walk around the Capitol dressed like Las Vegas whores, in six inch heels.
I once met the gal who was Duncan Hunter’s on-staff whore at the Trump Hotel bar. She was prospecting for a new job on the Hill following his indictment and resignation.
The Capitol Hill Hotel is for all practical purposes a whore house. They had to close the lobby bathrooms because members of Congress were bringing prostitutes into the stalls, rather than paying for rooms.
